I am a subscriber to VDSL provided by 3BB : I should have download speeds up to 30 Mbps...but this is only if the server is in Thailand.

The worst international connections are always on Friday evening from about 6 p.m. until midnight...on such evenings sometimes connections to a server in Germany are only 400 to 500 Kbps

What's the problem ...try the Indian solution and hire pilots who bought their licence...a lot of money can be made by influential person.

The Harman Kardon loudspeakers I mentioned carry a sticker with " DC 12V 1A"

My PC monitor which had build - in loudspeakers simply died and HP Service Center could not repair it.

So as a temporary solution I had to dig up a still older and also smaller HP monitor which has two external Harman Kardon loudspeakers and which require to be connected to the desktop with audio jack and to the electrical power outlet at the back of the monitor.

I got confused when a salesman told me that new PC monitors no longer have such electrical power connection to loudspeakers and then he showed me a set which - as SheungWan - describes have only audio jack and USB connection.

My desktop is also old (6 or 7 years) but was a top HP model at that time.

I guess with the new generation of loudspeakers the power requirements are less and can be provided by a USB connection to the desktop.

My PC monitor has crashed and is beyond repair.

I went to look for a new PC monitor and it appears that all of them do no longer have an input for the power cable of the external loudspeakers.

Did anybody have the same experience ? ...then how to get sound because one cannot connect the power cable to any source (voltage problems etc..)

I found information at the UK NHS website useful

One thing is sure : the kind of attacks from all sides we can read in this T.V. forum would not be possible in the Russian media...in Russia you can only approve of Putin policies... or face big problems...ask Ilya Ponomarev the only member of the Duma which dared to vote against the annexation of Crimea.

I am a subscriber to Truevisions TV (Gold)

Since many months (one year already?) I get from time to time and during a few seconds a totally black screen with a floating blue bar in which is indicated "no signal" and then normal reception returns.

First I thought this could be due to solar eruptions...but it could be also due to other reasons and as my television monitor is a very large one....before throwing it out I would be interested to know if other Thai Visa member experience the same short black outs with floating blue bars indicating "no signal"

to Captain Haddock : the vitamin D3 I bought in Amsterdam contained per tablet 1000 U.I. (= 25 cmg) so you took tablets which were 3 times stronger

I bought a month ago vitamin D3 (25 mcg) in Amsterdam: 100 tablets for 9.90 Euro

If Ignis paid 460 Baht - then taking into account always high Thai import tax - this is not too much.

But...who can give us reliable advice about safe daily exposure to sunlight in Thailand and ...how many minutes, which time of the day and how much skin exposed?

Hopefully those Liberians - when entering the country - were properly checked for something much more worrisome than a money scam : ebola !

Spaniel; you are missing the best trick. If you are married to a Thai National you can accompany her to the Thai immigration channel and you will pass through without any problems. Just another little bonus of marrying a Thai girl.

My EU passport does not make any mention if I am married to a Thai or not...My wife's Thai passport has no mention either...because we should bring a copy of our Thai marriage certificate?

this lead learns me a lot - thanks !

...except for Burma and the shocking treatment of Rohingya ?

And then there's Buddhism.

One of the true "assets" of Thailand.

If only the whole world was Buddhist. Would be a far more peaceful world.

_{Is this connected to a TV set (as with IPTV) or to a PC monitor?}

_{( sorry the fonts have become very small and do not succeed to change them to medium or large)}

I have 3BB with VDSL which in theory has a download speed of up to 30 Mb/s and upload up to 3 Mb

- the very high speeds are connecting to servers in Thailand

- when downloading from servers in Germany or USA the average download is 10 Mb/s...except the evenings (from 6 p.m) of Friday, Saturday and Sunday when it becomes as slow as average 700 Kb/s : I now download only large files during the morning of the working days.

Do I understand well that ONE UNIT = 1 Kwh ?

My comment : Islam does not require you destroy your cultural identity by taking an Arab name.

The two Muslim converts who were elected in the US Congress kept the name given to them at birth :

Keith Ellison

Andre Carson

...those Human Rights champions prefer to deal with "elected governments" ....never mind if they emptied the country the same way the Marcos dynasty did in the Philippines after winning (buying? all the presidential and parliamentary elections in which they participated.

I use "Free Youtube Downloader" software must you must carefully unclick all the unwanted additional software they try to push

Sorry my previous post did not print out lhat my question was about a DVD player

A 76 year old friend asks me to buy a "region free" DVD player with a USB port able to play AVI, MP4 and MKV

The related information in the TV forums is old.

I would prefer DVD player with Thai brand name

Can anybody give updated advise?

thanks for the helpful suggestions / yes I still have a valid multiple re-entry visa in the old passport

I assume you actually mean "valid multiple re-entry permit". You'll need to enter the number of this permit in the "Visa No." boxes on the TM6 arrival card you'll be handed during your return flight, and not your latest extension of stay number.

Yes you are right : I should have written "re-entry permit" - thanks again
