Depends how much Internet-based TV you watch and how large your data allowance is. 

 

If you only need the internet to set up the TV in the first place (you may or may not need that, depending on the TV) then you only watch cable TV after that, your data allowance would almost certainly be more than enough.

 

If you plan to watch lots of internet-based streaming content every month (Netflix, YouTube etc) then possibly your data allowance might not cover it - again, depends on what your allowance is.

Thanks for all comments & I apologize for my ignorance (I'm learning 🙂 ) & for appearing to hijack this thread.  I have a router (password enabled) & a limited sim (DTAC 12mo I think 1GB/mo cost 2,500 Baht) I carry on my frequent travel back & forth between 4 cities in Thailand. Edit: I don't want internet on phone & use hotspot because I prefer using pc at two locations (thus require ethernet cable from router) and laptops prepositioned at the other two locations.   I enjoy some streaming but can limit that in future to conserve data allowance. If someone can further educate me I thank you in advance for my following questions about data allowance conservation:

1.Is the router draining allowance simply by being turned on without using the internet (ie, should I constantly switch the router on/off when I'm not on the internet)?

2.Any idea how much data allowance is consumed per hour of streaming (ie, how many hrs or minutes per month could I safely watch without draining it all)?

Hi folks,

 

The TV in my rented condo has died and my landlady is telling me that she is having difficulty sourcing a new one which doesn't require Wi-Fi.

Her son came round last week with another TV which, unfortunately was too big. Had it fitted the location, he was suggesting that we try to connect to my Wi-Fi just to "set it up."

The only Wi-Fi which I have is via AIS on my phone. I pay THB 2,500 pa and use it as a hotspot with which to operate my laptop. It is more than adequate for my laptop's requirements but, the son explained that if I used it as a vehicle with which to watch TV programmes, my phone data (not sure if that's the correct word) would run out very quickly.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance.

David.

Question based upon quote:  Is the son's statement correct, ie the wifi allowannce would run out very quickly?

With a little observational orgasmic experience (what more often than not creates the quickest & greatest orgasmic intensity in a woman),some sincere pillow talk with female partners  & a desire to please, this cannot be considered to be hard to believe or even news worthy.  Masters & Johnson must have written about this ages ago.

Doesn't that typically get more?

This issue seems to be like office meetings with repetitive studies & votes (recently all affirmative) that never end.  Just get on with it.

That's what I remember also.  I will assume a repeat performance & probably schedule leave before 12Mar & not return until after21Mar.

Ya, April thanks 🙂

Don't that shiiit last until the 20th? I think it goes from 12th until 20th with 20th being the big huge day of Beach Rd being closed and water everywhere. That's what it was last year.

Both frigate & sub decisions appear, at first blush at least, to make cost-effectiveness sense.

But, but, but, is the ridiculous CCP submarine issue 100% finally dead, or just a horror show Faustian devil to repeatedly rise from the dead?

Friday 12th has been declared an extra public holiday.

So the official holiday period alone is 12 to 16 (two substitutes for Sat/Sun).

Pure traffic chaos/party on the beach (road) no later than the 12th.

Whether the chaos will continue even after 16th? Not sure.

Thanks all.  Ya, I was already familiar with the above-mentioned dates. 

But I remember those "traditional" dates being extended in Pattaya area in the past; to provide for later water throwing, first in Naklua, then in Pattaya central, & then finally in Jomtien. 

Perhaps such extended dates have yet to be announced by Pattaya officials.

Planning - to get out of town.

Sunk cost -Yes.  But, to address only the cost -effectiveness aspects: that is not sufficient justification for making things worse with a 20–30-year expensive life cycle.

Plus, it also overlooks the potential logistic & political blackmail, & potential espionage considerations. 

 

Thailand was wise enough to not get too deeply ensnarled in the CCP's "Belt & Road" initiative traps ("Loss Leaders" to get a foot in the door). 

But the Thai military just can't resist the CCP temptations can they.

Sorry, what I meant to say was that the "Sunk Costs" to date represents only a small part of the total 20–30-year life cycle costs of a major weapon system from Development to Procurement to Operation/Maintenance to Disposal.  The Thai mission of coastal security has more cost-effective alternative solutions. 

The Thai government does not have a valid need to involve themselves with expensive strategic deep water navy weapon systems, especially when it was developed for, & dependent upon, CCP naval Doctrine, Organizations, Training, Logistics and Materiel Upgrade support.
