The UK have fudged the books a tad by eliminating anyone passing away from Covid after 28 days. Yet the question remains, why are they still suffering from such catastrophic numbers? 

 

Even in the first wave, they suffered badly. Now onto the second wave, compared to many countries with equal covid numbers, they are still seeing masses dying. 

 

What on earth is going on here? 

 

How on earth have these Asian countries like Singapore, or Arab countries like UAE managed to have such small numbers of deaths despite huge covid infections per 100,000 people? 

Very high percentage of Neanderthaler genes ?

Easy with an android box as you can get all the free thai stations on android eg loox tv, and others on play storeor use the smart tv wifi  and see what you can find on youtube. You can also watch on a phone and cast to the tv.  Important to have a reasonable internet whatever you do. Tx6 smart tv box on lazada is ok and cheap. I have one.   1290b.

Sorry for my question but where does the TV signal enter this TX6 TV box :

does it enter via the short (black) antenna from the air ?

or

....is this antenna a wifi transmitter to the smart TV and then how does this box catch the TV signal?

My Thai wife's very old mother is going to stay with us.

We would like to buy for her a 40" Smart TV which can receive a few Thai TV channels.

In the same room we have an extender of our internet router (which transmits a strong signal)

This room is too far to link with cables to our existing TV setup in the living room and an indoor antenna would have very weak reception (if not at all)

A Thai TV channel "The Nation" transmits live via internet (there may be others)

I have no clue if there are on the markets TV sets able to receive via Wifi a TV signal from a router

Also I do not know if this is technically possible (and then how to do this?)

If some Forum members can provide advise I would be very grateful

Canada to Trump "leave our prescription drugs alone. They are for our citizens." Besides that, all this is too little, too late. A new FOX NEWS poll has Biden up by 5% pts in Ohio. If that holds on Election Day you can stick a fork in Trump, he's done.

According to Trump the coming election is rigged anyway ...he did not accept the 2016 election result because he did not win the popular vote

You need to have the consular officers signature that is on your affidavit verified by Department of Consular Affairs of the MFA in Bangkok.

Info is here. https://consular.mfa.go.th/th/publicservice/ขั้นตอนการรับรองเอกสาร

More info in Thai is here: https://consular.mfa.go.th/th/page/cate-6441-รับรองนิติกรณ์เอกสาร?menu=5d68c88b15e39c160c008184

It will not need to be translated if it is in English.

There is a translation service in the same building of the Foreign Ministry where they do legalization / translation office is at 2nd floor while legalization office on the 3rd floor

Business is business.

That's why the 9/11 terrorists could learn to fly in the US without questions asked.

Also read the Condo Act 2008 and the by-laws applicable to your condo : in our condo it would not be possible to have any commercial activities in the area where co-owners reside but only in a separate area of the building (otherwise we can have massage parlors on the 10th floor ...and see a constant flow of unknown visitors)

This is just a ploy so CP can move all their employees in Tesco to a hourly rate thereby negating the need for holiday, sick pay etc.

 

Greed at its most blatant.  CP care nothing for their employees, all that counts is the bottom line.

Is the sale transaction to CP already completed, I thought it still had to be approved by shareholder meeting?

I do everything by hand 

Can't see the point of buying gadgets for ten minutes kneading - very therapeutic.

Wholemeal or nice crusty white bread. Smells great, and so easy.

You just need time to wait for the dough to prove - one hour, and one hour or whatever.

The key is to use decent bread flour in my humble opinion.

 

 

 

The question is where to find what you call "decent" floor / I come from a bread eating country and in my home country I never have any negative digestive reaction (acid stomach) / but the bread here including the one made by my wife with great care requires me many times to take anti acid medication with ONE exception....the bread sold in the shops called "The Baguette" in Hua Hin and Cha Am but that is at more than 200 Km from where I live

Good enough bs fork them over nothing to hide nothing to fear humm........

This is a poison pill farmed out by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller to the highly competent NYSD prosecutors ...who are state prosecutors (i.e. not federal)

it is all suspected to be about the laundering of Russian money by Deutsche Bank to buy Trump real estate 

https://thehill.com/homenews/news/332270-eric-trump-in-2014-we-dont-rely-on-american-banks-we-have-all-the-funding-we

To illustrate how scared Donald Trump is ....

- He fired Preet Bharara the previous US Attorney for the NYSD and replaced him with GOP supporter Geoffrey Berman after interviewing him first....but Berman did not want to bend the law to protect Trump

- This triggered the intervention of Trump crony Attorney General Bill Bar and then also Berman was fired last month

This means Trump has to win the November election or he might end up in jail

He needs the income letter/affidavit from his embassy/consulate. Bank statements etc is not an option if the income letter is available. Only people from the US,UK and Australia must use bank statements and in some cases additional documents. 

No in Pathum Thani they want both bank statement and income affidavit certified by Embassy

I installed very simple and free app  Stopupdates10 / my Bitdefender software tried to stop it because it does not like executive files for good reasons so I had to allow an "exception" / it absolutely safe / however if you need to download from Microsoft Play store you need to stop this app for a while but it is just a matter of one click to unable or enable it

That's true, they can rape & kill people and get away with it.

Also evade parking tickets, I think at one time there were about 8,000 parking ticket charges outstanding in London, and that was just from staff at the Nigerian Embassy.

They can get away with the serious crimes you mention if after expulsion their home country lets them get away with it and does not bring them to a local court.  I remember during 1970ies that Sudanese ambassador in Stockholm was driving drunk and killed a child...the local press went of course berserk...but all the Swedish Foreign Ministry could do was to expel the diplomat. However this diplomat was a relative (I think a brother) of then president Nimeiry and I cannot remember there was a trial in Khartoum.

I am not going to waste time here and explain the necessity of diplomatic immunity to protect diplomats in autocratic countries from falling into a trap set by the local secret service.

What the f*** is an estonian EU diplomat doing in Thailand?

There is a EU Delegation in Thailand which employs people from various EU countries but proposed by EU HQ in Brussels (the composition is different in every EU Delegation in the world) and as courtesy the host country grants them a status equal to diplomats in bilateral Embassies (similar protected status is given to the UN and its many Offices and Agencies in the world / in some countries the representatives sent by HQ of the Red Cross or the HQ of the Order of Malta receive diplomatic status, it all depends on approval by the host country)

A diplomat doesn't have covid19 immunity! Interesting law about diplomatic immunity between the airport and diplomatic premises. I doubt if the condo is registered as diplomatic premises. Certainly the common parts of the condo block wouldn't be diplomatic premises. If a car with diplomatic plates was used to pick up the passengers it could have driven them to the Embassy. But the Embassy said they were European Ambassadors and I doubt that the EU has an Embassy in Bangkok. 

The representative office of the EU in Bangkok is called a "Delegation" and not an Embassy but as a matter of courtesy EU officials are given the same status as career diplomats.

I know the last (1961) version of the  Convention of Vienna on diplomatic relations between independent countries but this Treaty does not address the issue of what happens during pandemics.

The land is straight faces and internal screaming is Japan : no more screaming allowed on roller coasters.

The video shows the two suited men soberly hurtling along on the park's Fujiyama roller coaster without screaming once. The video ends with the message: "Please scream inside your heart."

Did you communicate with cleaners directly or did you need "help" for translation from a  person who may have pocketed 1500 Bht?

Maybe you should check your infos before reporting this ;). I already wrote in post #16 that the Embassy Letter from the French Embassy is in English, and pretty sure it's the same for other countries listed above; English or both languages.

There is a difference between a letter written and signed by the Embassy whereby they take responsibility and an affidavit (= your statement signed by you) and whereby the Embassy certifies that you signed it.

Isn't that cheating the Thai government? They probably won't bother to check the veracity of the income documents.

 

Someone should report this.

This way of legalisation is NOT only done this way in Thailand but by every Belgian consular service in the world.
