  1. Control Panel > Clock and Region > Region > Format Me have it set to UK........... as you have it in Thai then you are already set to Bangkok time, just need to set the language you need to display
  2. Yes same here I have Windows 10 with Google Chrome, also tried on Opera and AVG Browsers Right click and open in New Tab then works fine.
  3. As said before if you look at the UK Royal Mail website, is states could take 12 weeks [non Airmail] to arrive in Thailand...Also interesting clearly states that BA no longer have flights to Thailand, so Air Mail letter are sent 1 x weekly via Cargo in some plane. This is the second time the Pension 'Life' form has not arrived.... --"and confirm your identity over the telephone and payments will be restarted immediately"-- Yes this is true, but only for 16 weeks until they get the 'New' "life Certificate" the man I spoke to sent a new form via email straight after the phone call. Also note: restarted immediately uh in 2023 you would think that this then would arrive next day in the Thai Bank... It took 10 working days to show up. 3 days later the next 4 week payment arrived on normal day
  4. I have blood work done 1x a year, so really only need to go to the Hospital once a year, yet must go every 3 months to see the Dr and get a another repeat prescription .. total time at least 6 hours, at the local Government Hospital 10 mins away.. Very Large waiting room with 4 Drs rooms, + at the end in another room with 2 Dr's. here we are all Diabetic. there is always 100's of people. but fairly fast as most are just repeat prescriptions only... Med's are a lot cheaper at Government Hospitals. + around where I live NO Pharmacy sells Insulin.... Few years ago used to use 'Chula' Red Cross, [Leave home 4:30 rarely back before 16:00] stopped going there because of travel + Covid. but did go across to road Rama 4 to the cheaper Pharmacies to ask the price, cost 1,200 baht more expensive every 3 months. Hospitals just need to find a way to issue repeat prescriptions, would cut the waiting/people down a lot
  5. No as said bought 2 x 40 min packages [add ons] + 4 x phone calls 1st 18 mins was cut off 2nd 22 min said would call back but never did = Had to buy another package 2 days later 3rd call he spoke very bad English could not understand his security questions 4th call 27 mins, very helpful and all good.
  6. All have Overseas deals This time used AIS you buy a 40 min package = 3 baht per min [normal 7 baht] 0034 then 0044 etc Still had to buy a 2 nd package, total bill was 488 baht !! still took 20 days before my pension arrived in the Bank !! after the phone call and the man said he would approve my Pension for another 16 weeks + send the new Life forms by email
  7. DWP or Post Question......... After having my pension stopped, never received the Life Certificate so say sent in Jan 2023, returned the one sent by email on the 19th June by recorded delivery... So could track it... Long list until it arrived at Heathrow Royal Mail Sorting Office on 24th, as of today still says arrived at Heathrow 24th June.. Should I be worried ? expected it to be delivered in Wolverhampton by this time ? or is it only tracked as far as to UK ??
  8. Maybe runs in the family ? most of my Uncles and Ants [6 of them] were diabetic ... Here in Thailand. 2 friends both in there 60s and painfully thin are diabetic.... just up the Village, Thai friends for years. there all diabetic the old man 92, son 56, grandson 22 and grand daughter 26 all diabetic and all must take insulin daily, NON are over weight/fat Another Thai friend is well over weight but only take 1 x 500 mg Metformin a day, last week his Hospital visit FBS was 126. it has been around the same for past 5 years.

  10. Never had Intel, so no idea....... Always had AMD, my old laptop AMD was 20 years old working slowly gave it to a local school... My 1st Desktop ran Windows 3.2... My present Desktop built 11 yeas ago, have added a few new things since but still going strong + heavy use now on Windows 10 [so say worst AMD CPU FX 8300] ..... My Partner has a Acer intel laptop on its last legs but was used a lot, is 14 years old and still on XP Understand one of e best cheaper Laptop is the Intel i5-11400
  11. Hardware shop, the wire rat trap used to be 30 baht each, last 2 bought late last year were 60 baht each... for past 19 years only have rats in the kitchen, catch one or two most weeks, the joys of living out in the sticks... same in UK but smaller mice [also lived out in the sticks] Caught one in the trap was in there this morning when I went in the kitchen, dropped in a bucket of water and bagged, trap is already reset and awaiting the next one....
  12. Gave up after 15 mins....... the fastest time for me was 18 mins, then transferred to the life cert department + wait = total time 27 mins..... So say they sent out this paper in January as of today it still has not arrived.... !! Look on Royal Mail website UK - Thailand via normal mail = 12 weeks....... Via cargo ship to Singapore then overland to Thailand.... Even recorded Delivery Air Mail takes up to 10 days... these days there is 1x plane that take the mail per week... The officer that I spoke to send my the Forms yesterday to my email so printed it out and is ready to post on Monday.. pension restarted for another 16 weeks until the life cert arrives
  13. what about this one ?? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/samsung-galaxy-m14-5g-464gb-i4576631369.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.13.42111845Bq2W6i
  14. Never thought about it, used one for years, remember buying my 1st one in 1978 so over 43 years, just the normal thing in France where I lived at the time... Ideal when gong out + always must also take Med's and my Insulin Pen
  15. Yes dirty = running to hot = automatically restarts to protect it's self Did you also clean the PSU, ? Good idea to have a App running lots of them about FREE and paid versions.... PC Temperature Monitor App
  16. Fully ready and discount price. https://www.jib.co.th/web/product/readProduct/59054/1545/COMPUTER-SET-JIB-MARU-2305004 or older ? https://www.jib.co.th/web/product/readProduct/59060/1400/COMPUTER-SET-JIB-MARU-2305008 the onboard graphics is not as good. Intel UHD Graphics 630 vs Intel UHD Graphics 730 on the i3 12100 The i5 is 10th generation came out early 2020 vs the i3 is 12th generation and came out last year Myself in all the years have owned a PC always used AMD. so do not follow Intel much so feel sure other will advise if the i3 or i5 is better for your use
  17. I have never been a Salesman with a Company Car.... so can only go on what I have been told... There is a small list of cars he could have, The ban on hybrid cars in the UK [2030 ?] was a important decision to go BEV over the Hybrid models... So was the worst decision he ever made.... He will be pension age within 5 years, normally the Company car is part of the leaving present also with many Companies he has been with them since he was 22..
  18. We heard for years go Green = LPG/NGV/CNG is ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY LPG/NGV/CNG is one of the cleanest fuels available yet suddenly it is all about EV now. even the Gas Fill up station near me has now gone.. Why ? what happened ?
  19. So say in UK the Government has lost so far £ 25 million from petrol/diesel tax + road tax on EVs UK so say coming soon will be pay per miles.... Understand in UK they have been taking out the FREE charging units = must have the right type of EV to use + payment cards to use the newer charging points [why different types and models use different EV chargers and connectors ? ] Friend in UK, followed map to 3 different so say charging stations 2 not working the other a different type of payment card = not enough battery to try another station = breakdown service had to be called, this is the 3rd time in a month ! he says it is the worst decision he every made to buy a EV car.. Maybe if he owned a house with off road parking and charging point would be a different matter. The + side is Sweden that are re-building the Motorways and some main road with automatic EV charging under the surface Here is a question as price of electric has gone up so much it is no longer as cheap to charge any more, did look into it for some time = will wait awhile longer, took delivery of the new Ranger last week.
  20. Depends on the year of the D-Max, the base models were not fitted with airbags or ABS until the last model
  21. Have not had a printout bill for more than a year. I receive an SMS with the information the bill is ready and a link. I then pay via the MEA app ....... same with AIS for much longer [internet + 2 mobiles], water is paid by App but still get a paper bill every month.

  23. Crossy, at what stage do you give up on a fan ? My oldest stand fan is 19 years old last month, HATARI expensive in the day electronic load of functions..... Done many repairs over the years + 2 new motors, last month woke up in the night the plastic housing broke and the blades/ + housing fell on the floor. found and bought another motor housing, now it suddenly stopped yesterday motor buzzing but will not spin the fan even with my hand help... switch off and motor is spinning free.. new capacitor still will not work.. the case was blue, but is more faded grey these days, brittle with age..... had a wall fan fall off the wall casing gave out with age.... Over the years have been replacing some fans now buy Sharp as appear quieter and stronger
