You don't mention which laptop. If it is a Dell , watch out ! Nearly all of them come with MaxxAudio/waves app that causes problems with speakers and microphones. You can't get rid of it for 100 % . It is a part of the Realtek audio driver . Realtek audio chips are cheap mediocre junk.

Kiity litter shortage ?? 20B store : 130 B Vet : 140 B Makro cheapest : 155 B. All for 10 kg or liter . All good and plenty.

I just bought 6W spots and LED strips . They all get hot , too hot for my liking. Cheap spotlight are in plastic , not Aluminium , so cooling is even worse. Like you , I'm about to use the 6 inch Staycool SCG with spots and after reading this here , I start to doubt too. Sorry for going off topic : How do you like these Stay cool from SCG ? Does it really make a difference in heat and noise ? I bought one to see , and 6 inches ?? They are flattend rolled up to maybe 2 inches. Is it worth the 509B ? If it is too far off topic can you PM me , for replies about the staycool. I'm about to buy 40 rolls of them for 100 m2 .

External SSD's are faster, although with WD passport HD's the first GB goes at 500 MB/s or so then it slows down al lot. Samsung and other internal and extenal SSD are expensive in Thailand. The Samsung Portable SSD T7 2 GB : invadeit : 6990 , in my country , I just checked at 38,5/euro :5775 baht. I'll buy them there when I go next year. That is another 6990 THB they can't tax , when I bring the money in.

Oh , I did book. Not all airlines want to be paid in currency of departing country. For instance : Etihad wants THB , no way around. Qatar lets you choose.

YES , definitely. And I can predict when . I will be when I'm in europe next year so that I can't get back. Hopefully it will only be on that wacky part of the world , not on this side .

A difference not only in price but also the currency they show on their website. I don't want to pay in THB.

Are there still travel agents ? Here in Thailand and that you can trust ?

^ Not the first time here on AN that I read that people didn't get their money back when the covid cancellations hit.

You don't have to look for me. But economy ofcourse , I'm not a millionair , and business is a waste of money. Ok , my questions have been answered > look at big booking sites > but book at the airline itself. And nothing has changed with the 3 years of restrictions for covid. Flying is still a big pain , nearly as bad as going to the dentist , but even more expensive. Thanks guys.

Gulfair doesn't fly to my destination and indeed KLM and airfrance are not for me. Nothing through dubai , I take "pills" .

Google flights is a bit disappointing. So far Etihad seems the best with 40 kg in economy. I hear 6 month before is the sweet spot , but some are already full.

Good to know. I guess flying Aeroflot is out. That's a shame , they were great last time.

Doesn't fly to europe.

In the past I let my family in europe buy the ticket because it was cheaper than buying it in Thailand. But now I have a VPN , so I can be "in europe" as far as the airline or bookingsite can see.

What about refund when there is another lockdown or restrictions for flying . I don't want a stick up my nose.

Tickets from Thailand are more expensive, than to Th. Pricing that differs from where you book.

It's been 7 years without having to fly . Now I have to . Things have changed since covid ? Where do you buy tickets these days , to europe. Does it make a difference to use a VPN so that they can't see I'm in Thailand ?

Starting is what , 5-10 seconds of current surge , stopping doesn't cost any power. The relay just cuts off. Quiet maybe , but it keeps turning , and you forget it is on, or use the timer.

Starts on jan 1st 2024 . So on tax day 2024 , they are going to look at your income of 2023 ? Or what you brought in the country in tax year 2023. So bringing in more money before 31 dec 2023 , could bite you in the behind ? What about living from an inheritance ? And the cash sniffer dogs at the airport , because I will bring in cash . One poster showed that from 150k to 300k = 5% . Worst case for me 15.000 tax a year . I wouldn't leave for that . If they had gone through with the mandatory health insurence , which would cost 40k and up , then I'm out.

If you have solar panels , the inverter type AC , will be better. A nice constant on , lower wattage powered by the constant solar current with no hard on/off switching.

Mine want a deposit or withdraw , not just an update or like you get after the monthly interest. 10 % ?? In russian ruble ? Argentine peso ? turkish lira ? Where do you get 10 % ?

I was looking around in the specs and it said 300 -350 W minimal depending on how big (BTU). Like now , my regular AC goes full power for 5 minutes and then quiet (off) for 20 minutes. Say at night when it is cooler , mine switches off ,while inverter types will keep turning at minimal until you switch them completely off.

Immigration wants an update of your bankbook/account the day you go for your extention. How can you do that with a fixed account ? I want to do the same as the OP , because I tired of 0,9 % on my 800k.

I don't want an inverter AC. The compressor is always on. A simple on/off type has less electronics and not near a hot , vibrating compressor. So Onemorefarang has 4 compressors , even idling , that is at least 4 x 350 W = 1.4KW .
