Thanks Jake. I've printed all your information. Will see if I can drive a deal at DMK. Will feed back when I've settled in Bangkok. R

Thanks Jake. The true offer on this link appears to be sold out. I'll still front up to the True & DTAC counters to look for any replacements. R

I'll be arriving at Don Meung. Sadly on 30 in the country so I'll have to wing it. I'll try the airport, failing that Terminal 21 at Asoke. Will give feedback once it's done.

Thanks J. I'm out of the country & once I arrive I'm not sure that online will be the way for me. Hopefully this offer will also be available at 7/11. Cheers R

Thanks. This was the information I needed. 50b for the sim plus data top ups. It beats the 600b & 1,000b baht offers at the airport.

Hi Members. As mobileWhen visiting Thailand, I would usually purchase a Mobile Sim/Plan for my Smartphone needs for the duration of my visit. I've found I rarely need a Mobile Number to be allocated as I can get by with EMail, LINE Moblie, & similar services. Is there an ESim only, minus a phone number account which will cover me when I'm unable to access WiFi? If there is, is this a cheaper option, and where is a good place to get one (e.g. 7/11 etc)? thanks R

Hello Contributors. Hoping for some advise around buying gemstone jewellery in Bangkok. The missus was interested in simple white gold ring with a blue gemstone. I've been hearing of horror stories when it comes to this industry. Some have suggested Chinatown for gold and jewellery. Any tips on where to shop to avoid being scammed? Also, how would I assess a real gemstone vs a substitute? cheers R

Sorry about my lack of knowledge. I searched through the apps on my phone, many I have never used, and yes "Google Translate" had already been installed. It seems that when installed on a new device, as part of a suite of google apps you get it gratus, but if you try to install via the Play Store there is a subscription. Either it's a premium app or maybe Google is trying to squeeze out some income??? Once again thanks for your assistance. One thing, the translate is a males voice. Can a user alter the gender of the translated response?

The Google Translate App is being offered to me in the play store for a subscription of $6.99 a month. Are free subscriptions not a thing anymore?

Hello community. Hoping for some help. Is there a recommended Android Mobile App which I can use to assist me to communicate with non English speaking Thais? I'm looking for an easy to use Verbal Interface, free from bloatware & privacy intrusion. Thanks R

Hi community. Hoping for some technical assistance. Are the Motorola Edge Fusion series smartphones able to be set up for Thai locals in terms of the language aspect? I'm not familiar with this aspect. How do Thais set up their phones to cater for Thai language and is this universal or specific to each brand/model? I also thought, if you switch to Thai and set up how would you reverse it if you can't read Thai? I'm looking at sourcing a Motorola Edge Fusion. Thanks.

I did say it was to be taken on a humorous level. Lighten up man. What would you like to know?

The way I internalize it, is that I'm mindful of being a cerebral person. Until practice yields a tipping point, I feel that visions of something beyond, can give impetus to those who are conditioned. Also communicating such discussions allow the meeting of other travellers, a digital mini sangha if you will, which can help to dispel negative thoughts and encourage my practice. 👍🙂

Thanks for the links. Definitely the absence of Dukkha, but the issue I wanted to address is "during which period does Dukkha become absent? While you live, if you're able to achieve Awakening, then Dhukka becomes absent. But does that continue once you die?

Thanks JT. Removal from the wheel of Samsara is agreed. But what about what happens after the quenching of Craving? It is this part of the process that I referred to as being nihilistic.
