  1. For the last 15 months I have been a subscriber of Motion TV, a provider of streaming IPTV. I became a subscriber on the recommendation of one of our fellow members here. I am a tennis afficionado. So, last year I was on the lookout for a service which included the famous Tennis Channel. MT offered just that for $15 a month. On 28/10/22 they charged me $150 for a 1-year subscription. They had my credit card details, so they felt free to push a 1-year subscription on me. As I knew that Motion Tv would push for a renewal of this subscription this month, I looked closer at my subscription and noticed that I was given a 1-year 6 connections subscription. I don't need 6 connections, as we have only 2 TVs in our home. I found out that they do offer a 1-year 2 connections subscription for $120. I opened a support ticket on OCT 10 with the request to change my subscription to 2 connections. As by OCT 18 the support ticket had not been answered, I opened a 2nd ticket with the same request. Also that one was never answered or followed up. So, yesterday was the due day to pay. This situation turned in my head last night and at around 02:00 I called my credit card company to cancel the card Motion TV has on their file. Luckily they still had not attempted to charge me, but it is obvious that they would have charged me later the same day. I wrote this message to inform my fellow members not to use this service because of no customer support at all.
  2. You can order yeast from Lazada, not more expensive than from your local supermarket. I use this one, Mauripan from Australia 95 Baht for 500 g, you won't be ruined and have good dry yeast.
  3. Not so many people eating beef today in Thailand. Can't find any beef in both of the Lotus's I shop every two days.
  4. For me this situation leaves open 2 questions: 1 What is the role of Prawit Wongsuwon now ? Does he still have any say in in this upcoming government? 2 When will the parties choose their ministers? Is there a time set already or is there a set timeline?
  5. The best investment in small time money was definitely a pressure water. I use it every two, three days. It's never in its box. Many brands available and probably equally good. I have mine since about 12 years.
  6. Who is the interim PM? And which entity appointed him? Probably the senate.
  7. If you use a True sim dial 00600, I think it's 1 or 2 Baht per minute.
  8. What baffled me the most is that during the July 14 vote, all Democrat party members did not support the Pita democratic alliance.
  9. What will follow is that Prawit will do everything in his power to eliminate Pita and his party. Not showcasing §112 when Pita was campaigning would have most possibly secured him the premiership. Think about it.
  10. Another scenario is likely to emerge. On the July 13 vote Pita was the only contender for the post of prime minister. Since Pita has no possible chances to succeed on July 19 or 20, that could change. Another possible prime minister candidate is likely to emerge: Prawit Wongsuwan. With all the allies he has, he could amass as many as 188 votes, Of course, all the senators would back him, so he would end up with possibly 250 additional votes, if all the senators would vote this time. Anyway, far over the required 376 votes necessary to win. This scenario is very likely and would satisfy many people who don't support Pita. The whole "coalition" of Move Forward, Pheu Thai & Co. would end up in the opposition. In my humble meaning, this is what is going to happen very soon. I might be wrong, only time will tell.
  11. It is sure that Pita made two unforgiveable mistakes before entering the elections. No. 1 was not to get rid of his shares in iTV. No. 2 was to announce as an election promise to amend §112. He could have worked on that once he would have been installed in office and the time was right. The millions of people who voted for him did not vote because of §112. Just my humble opinion.
  12. So far Pita got 10 votes from the senators. But still many have to vote.
  13. WHICH changes?? Nothing has changed yet, Check first before you write such a nonsence.
  14. Had dengue fever in 1986 in Singapore. Scary. High fever, you can take fever depressents, don't help. Ended up a couple of days at Singapore General Hospital. Now a 16-year old boy in our village in northern Surin province just went to the hospital with Dengue.
  15. Looks like! I sent them a message 2 days ago. They did not answer yet!
  16. Thank you, dear Khun Neeranam! This confirms that everyone at Bitkub is targeted, not foreigners only. I commend you for your excellent English.
  17. I was just rejected again. And again, they ask me the same documents as I sent them 4 days ago. It's a cat and mouse game. I just sent them a message and asked them to explain me exactly what is wrong with what I sent them.
  18. Same here. They have asked me for so many things and reject every time. Always something more. Yes, I also get the impression, they want to get rid of the foreigners. Never finished.
  19. Well, that's pretty alarming!
  20. Yes, good cheese is expensive in Thailand. I'm from Switzerland, so obviously I grew up around good cheese. The last cheese I bought was from a specialiced company in BKK which is managed by a Swiss. I don't want to advertise something, but just tell the reader that I bought Swiss Raclette cheese, made in France about two months ago. It was 900 Baht/kilo then, but I don't see it currently available. I bought the cheese here.
  21. Hi Bill, I got to know you from this thread and I'm fololowing it daily. I'm near your age, I'm past 78 and I'm diabetic since around 20 years. It has been 2 days since you posted the last time. We all want to know how you are. From my part, I wish you all the best, you can easily live up to 90, I think we all can if we're careful enough with our health.
  22. The platform is www.pipingrock.com.
  23. Above offer is for 100 mg capsules. I buy 300 mg cpsules and use 2 capsules a day.
  24. Only about two months ago I purchased online two bottles of Benfotiamine from New York. I bought them about half the price of what what I would pay on Lazada. Just three days ago I wanted to re-order the same capsules, but their platform told me the maximum I can order is one bottle. This rule is not only for Benfotiamine, but for any of their products. I sent them an email to ask why this new rule and I was told that the Royal Thai Customs don't allow you anymore to order whatever more than one item as anything above that is considered to be bought for resale. This is a blow for anyone who needs to order medicine or vitamine supplements from abroad. Does anyone know more about this?
  25. Sorry, but the average depth in the Gulf of Siam is 58 meters, not 45.
