  1. So? You can say the same about alcohol. Ever heard of individual responsibility? I don't, as a adult, want anyone telling me what I can and cannot do with my own body. Do you? I don't see anyone being thrown in prison for three and a half years for smuggling alcohol. Not that I am condoning such behaviour. It's more about the hypocrisy.
  2. Sorry, but what? Nice guys don't run chicken farms disguised as Beach clubs with lots of little girls running around. Nice guys don't walk in on little girls whilst they are changing. Nice guys don't suggest grabbing women by their vaginas. Nice guys don't run casinos...I can continue with a very long list if you like. Now if you instead suggested he was a Nice Guy in a Ma Fia kind of way, I might have concurred. Other than that, we must have very different ideas of the make up of a nice guy. Please counter with the list of things that you consider make him a nice guy. He's nasty and his followers copy that. Atrocious abuse and behaviour by them on this forum.
  3. Read and make up your own mind: https://www.thaienquirer.com/62397/china-expands-sugar-import-ban-prompting-calls-for-government-action-and-export-review
  4. Too health conscious to slap it on bread just like that. Kept as a rare treat these days. Have just slow cooked some more beef for twelve hours, so more good stuff to go into the freezer, whilst the beef can be used in a variety of dishes. Oops...wandering off-topic.
  5. I use my own beef fat, from when I slow cook beef and then cool the liquid in the fridge. Chefs know not to waste anything, if at all possible.
  6. What has that to do with whether Freephone/Toll Free numbers are charged for or not? It's not a willy measuring competition. It's the sharing of information to help people decide what is best for them.
  7. But it will help others in deciding. It's not just about you here 😊 The fact that they don't post anything about Freephone/Toll Free numbers being actually free, gives the idea that they charge for them. People who call those numbers would naturally choose Localphone over MyTello, as there would be no good reason to choose MyTello.
  8. But are they free with Mytello? With Localphone they are actually free. No information on that for when it comes to MyTello.
  9. Still more expensive than Localphone. Localphone would be 4.25 baht. OP wanted cheapest or free. Though I grant you that there's not much in it. Plus MyTello is a bit opaque for when it comes to freephone numbers.
  10. Same price as Localphone, but it has an extra call set up charge. So more expensive overall.
  11. Yes, in fact the onion vinegar was a separate condiment he would have for us to choose.
  12. Remove that green stuff from the plate and I'm in. 😊
  13. What is this? I grew up on this kind of food. if you didn't have enough cash, it would be chips on it's own, liberally sprinkled with salt and vinegar. A bit more cash, a Saveloy or fish cake. Cod, Haddock, Mackerel, Rock Salmon... But where are the pickled onions, gherkins, pickled eggs? Steak cut and frozen chips? Stop it. My local chippy was run by a Greek Cypriot. Salt of the earth. Served the community with generous portions. Have you ever had Fish and Chips in Cyprus? There's a place in Limassol, The Fisherman's House; the fish is literally as long as an arm from hand to elbow. I think we paid around 10 euros or thereabouts on our previous visit. Have photographs as evidence. Girlfriend with her arm alongside the battered fish. https://www.facebook.com/panpangqq1 Current price in my neighbourhood is around 570 baht for fish & and a standard portion of chips. Chips on their own 150/190 baht. Small pieces of fish with a portion of chips 340 baht. That's fake money and inflation for you.
  14. Free? Are you joking? https://www.localphone.com gives you a free test call. Use their application via WiFi or mobile data. Afterwards, around 5 baht per minute.
  15. If you, or anyone else, decide to go the new SIM route, https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i1487422386-s3917664775.html https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i1487274400-s3917374862.html then promotional packages are available, as long as you apply them within seven days of activating the SIM(30 days for the Unlimited 10 Mbps package). Their Unlimited 10 Mbps package at 481.50 per month includes Unlimited HotSpot usage and 3 months of EPL(English premier League) viewing. *777*450# Alternatively: The All Together 300 package includes: 20 GB of 5G internet at up to 1 Gbps, then 60 GB of 15 Mbps. If you exceed 60 GB per month of 15 Mbps, your internet usage will continue at 1 Mbps. - Unlimited free calls to all networks, up to 15 minutes per call. Exceeding minutes are charged at 1.06 baht per minute (VAT included) or 0.99 baht per minute (VAT excluded). So hang up at 15 minutes and call again. Unlimited AIS SUPER WiFi HotSpot usage. AIS Play Family *777*9272# 300 baht deducted every 30 days for up to 6 months. By spending 300 baht, you also get another free 20GB of data allowance per month. So 100 GB in total, which then is throttled to 1 Mbps. Apply *777*7693# for the first month of complimentary data(after applying for the main package) and *777*23002# for each subsequent month(after each renewal). Finally, if you have a Thai friend who can register a SIM for you, go GoMo/AIS: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i4459346573-s17956372277.html 259 baht per month for Unlimited 15 Mbps. Correction: 48 hours of Unlimited 10 Mbps is 102 baht via *777*7387#
  16. Once you top up to 2000 baht(I advise topping up in 100 baht increments, as each top up usually adds just one month of validity), then apply *777*7399# using the phone's keyboard, then to hit the Call key, in order to apply the 90 day Unlimited 10 Mbps package 1925 baht. Don't bother to try to ask anyone in a shop, they'll either feign ignorance or they will actually be ignorant. If for some reason, the USSD code above does not work(it likely will), you'll need to use an Internet connection to click through this way: https://m.ais.co.th/BestOfferWebMRTH It will ask you to add your number. Then you just click through the Green links. If you want to look through all of the 90 day offers(1/4/10Mbps) you can click through here: https://bit.ly/3R5zxiX When, on landing, you prefer to have Unlimited data, you can apply a 24 hour 10 Mbps package for just less than 60 baht via *777*7386# or a 48 hour 4 Mbps package for the same price via *777*7384# Something in the middle? 48 hours of Unlimited 6 Mbps for 80.25 baht *777*7385# 48 hours of Unlimited 10 Mbps is 102 baht *777*7385# Don't neglect to hit the Call key to apply the USSD code.
  17. I love cycling. Not so keen on walking. Though I can do both with no issue. Cycled both in the Alps and Spanish mountains. Superb lungs and whole body workout. Equally hill and mountain training on foot. Not interested in walking or running on flat ground. The most dull exercise I can imagine. Running and walking on uneven ground is okay.
  18. Some options if you don't want to spend much. ToX4: https://th.aliexpress.com/item/1005009790497905.html https://th.aliexpress.com/item/1005005430447276.html HK1 RBox https://th.aliexpress.com/item/1005007885154602.html
  19. Do you need help in choosing a new Android box? Has anyone sent you a PM with suggestions for a new IPTV provider? It's not something that I use, so someone who uses that on a regular basis may be able to help in that regard.
  20. I know why you doubt it. Because you KNOW that I am a man of integrity and conviction and would not attempt to coach someone via PM, like a snake. But you did, didn't you?
  21. They are losers, pretending to be winners.
  22. My world is good. No hangers on. No second hand women. I'm good. It's you who needs the luck. SC is your name to me from now on. Remember that. 😊 I'm not the one who had to take a six month hiatus from the board after talking to @fredwiggy about God. I know you have 'issues'. You cannot hide from me. Better you take some time out to look after your mum.
