Not in Thailand but I think topic related. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-62949005 For days, a video has been making the rounds of social media in the southern Indian state of Kerala. It shows a man putting on running shoes and then making his way through an obstacle course - jumping over park benches, climbing walls and dodging traffic cones - while his friend cheers him on. "Is he training to join the army?" a woman watching the duo asks. "No, he's training to run from stray dogs," the friend replies. The satirical video, made by an ad agency, isn't unique - over the past few weeks, thousands of people in Kerala have forwarded memes and videos that express anger towards stray dogs. The reaction has been sparked by several recent reports of dogs - some of them pets - attacking people. Animal welfare activists and veterinarians say most people in Kerala do not have a friendly relationship with dogs and keep them at a distance. Thereis a lot more in the link.

I have lived next to the Mae Wong national park for 18 years and I saw more elephants in BKK in 5 years than I have ever seen in rural Thailand,

If you think that the number is made up, why not contact Nong Samo Hospital in Pong and ask them where they got their figures from?

Coming Home by Rosamunde Pilcher in Ebook Mobi format. It is a very long and interesting book and not so easy to put down.

The OP knows how to build commission and integrate cellular base stations world wide. Do you? I have been in the cellular industry since 1987 and cut my teeth on 1G, if you know what that was. Many people know far more than me about computers because I was never an IT engineer, which is why when I get stuck I am not too proud to ask for help. Your post however, is of no help at all.

That is a good idea, I might try that.

Are you denying that it happened?

None of the dogs I had in Thailand ever bit me and over the years I must have had a dozen. NONE were pit bulls. None of the cats bit me either. So, NO it doesn't apply to any animal. You and all the other pit bull owners here can defend your dogs for as long as you like, but you cannot change reality. They ARE a dangerous breed.

So all you need to do is to disprove the statistics and all will be well in the world, until of course the next pit bull attack.

My 3BB router doesn't support the 5 GHz mode.

I am still finding my way around the upgraded Win 10, which is much the same as the older version, except this version seems to update anytime someone as much as sneezes. I followed your instructions and this is what I have. It looks as though I don't have 5G WiFi While the system still works though the download isn't what I hoped, I will come back to this thread and have a better idea of what I need. Thank you for your help once again, and to all the other posters who helped as well.

Compared to the current mob which rules by guns. threats, lies and fear? With Thaksin you have a proven PM who did far more for the people of Thailand than the current lot could do in 10 lifetimes.

My son's pc is more a gaming pc but it is running on a LAN cable. Have you any idea where I can find out if my WiFi can run on 5 GHz/ Meanwhile thank you very much for you ideas. Some work for me and some don't, but I am willing to try them.

Thank you for your valuable medical opinion Professor/Doctor of Psychiatry Jon Clark. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (an M.D. or D.O.) who specialises in mental health, including substance use disorders.

Why did you not do a simple Google search? Here is your starter for 10 points. Try starting a Google search here Institute of psychiatry Thailand Here are 2 of about 7.400,000 results for you. Look up the rest yourself. https://www.rcpsycht.org/en/home https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So This institute was founded in 1889 making it 133 years old. Is that long enough for you? History Founded at the behest of King Chulalongkorn in 1889, the hospital initially occupied a five rai plot of land on one side of the Chao Phraya River. A decade later, it transferred to its current 44 rai campus. The institution's original name was the "Hospital for the Mentally Ill" (Rong Phayaban Khon Sia Sati). It was changed to the "Thon Buri Psychosis Hospital" (Rong Phayaban Rok Jit Thon Buri).[2] When Phon Sangsingkeo assumed directorship of the Mental Hospital, he changed its name to "Somdet Chao Phraya Hospital" in 1954 to remove the stigma associated with the hospital's former name. Its new name was the name of Somdetchaopraya Road where the institute is found.[3][4] In 1955, the hospital started to offer training programs in order to increase expertise in the field of psychiatry and mental health. Shortly after, the Psychiatric Association of Thailand was founded.[5]

How do you know that these are wild assertions? Have you checked with the hospital? Do you know more than qualified psychiatric doctors? Remember that this hospital is only one of many in Thailand.

This is probably the best I can do as the system won't allow me to copy and paste. Processor AMD A9-9425 RADEON R5, 5 COMPUTE CORES 2C+3G 3.10 GHz Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.45 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Windows 10 specifications Edition Windows 10 Home Single Language Version 22H2 If I use WiFi it is 2.4 GHz band and less than 50 cm from the router. I cannot connect to the 5 GHz link for some reason. I must call 3BB to see if they can set it up for me. The LAN port is OK no matter which one I use and my son's pc has no download problem. I have swapped the LAN cable twice and the new one is a cat5e cable. I have used the speed test site as well and it is a little better but as the network is 3BB that is what I use. The first image is the 2.4 GHz LAN connection. The second is the speed test rate. The third is the Internet status. The fourth is 3BB speedtest

I have just disconnected the LAN cable and done a 3BB speed test using WiFi. Both download and upload were between 40 and 50 Mb. I reconnected the LAN cable and re-ran the speed test. Download around 150 Mb and upload around 350 Mb. In settings it tells me Link Speed (Receive/Transmit) 1000/1000 Mbps My 3BB plan is Download 1000 Mbps and Upload 300 Mbps.

It actually is quite hard work. Easy if it is flat and small but if there are humps and dips, slopes and holes, bits of dead tree, flooded trenches and 2 or 3 rai to cut, it IS hard graft. If like me you have 2 STS kneecaps and a buggered up back it is hard before you start Nowadays at 78 I can manage about an hour in the early morning with a few minutes break or 2. When I first retired in 2009 I could manage about 3 hours a day. Now I am down to a hour a day on a good day.

On Thursday I took my pc back to the shop so that they could upgrade Windows 10 and hopefully fix my download problem. It cost me 300 thb for the work, about 350 thb in diesel and 2 hours travelling. They duly upgraded Win 10 and carefully managed to wipe out my Opera browser with all its book marks as well as a few other programs that I use at times. Not a problem I thought when I fired it up back at home, I can re-download Opera and Chrome has all my bookmarks. That was not quite correct as they replaced Chrome with an updated version as well with no bookmarks. I have managed to remember a lot of the bookmarks, banks, emails etc and the good thing is that I now have a lot of room on my bookmarks toolbar. It took a while to remember just how to open the bookmark toolbar, and longer still to load replacement bookmarks . Now I am more or less back to normal. As for my download problem? I still have it, even after all that work. The lesson I have learned is not to buy another AllInOne pc and to make sure that the ethernet connection is 10:100:1000Mb at least. Thank you to all of you who sent suggestions.

If you mean me then the nearest Immigration office is 70 km away and they know that I cut the grass and scrub. Quite simply they have better things to do than worry about one farang cutting the grass. So long as I am not doing a Thai out of a job (nobody wants to do the hard work anyway) nobody cares.

What is weird about wanting to keep the place tidy, even though it isn't yours? It doesn't matter to him if he isn't a member of the community and he never will be. If my wife or I can find somebody to cut the grass and scrub for me I would give up tomorrow.

It depends on where you live ant the attitude of the local villagers. I have been cutting the grass and scrub outside since 2009 with no complaints. Most passers by give me a smile or a thumbs up. Out in rural Thailand nobody cares and there is no money in it for the police either. It is like most of the laws, unenforced.

I do it all the time alongside the road and I also cut the grass between the road and the power pole out the front of both our house and the neighbours house, both parts belong to the government. The Pu Yai Ban has no objection. At 78 years old and it is hard work, why do I do it? Because I live here and I like it to be tidy.
