On line it takes 5 minutes, add another 5 to 10 minutes if you want to keep your paperwork tidy. So, I don't get it ?.. ????

I usually do it online. Last time I couldn't because I received a new passport. This time (so far) I cannot because the system has been down for about a week.

It will take me most of the day and about 600 Baht to go there. It is too late to do by mail

Their server is temporary unavailable due to system maintenance. They say services such as 90 days reporting will be delayed and apologize for inconvenience. It means you file by mail or in person NOW. Otherwise you get their 2000baht fine with their apology!

Too late to file by mail.

They could at least try to give a date as to when the system will be up (and running) and again.

It depends on how much you want to pay.

 

I recently had a hernia repaired at Sukhumvit Hospital in Bangkok. It cost 200,000 baht. (Same price as for Thais ).

 

Had surgery Saturday at 5 pm. Discharged Sunday at 11. am. No problems at all.

The doctor spoke excellent English ( I can speak Thai though), as he had spent a long time working in Geneva, Switzerland.

Not the best idea.

Lift the booze ban, people mix. People mix more chance of infection.

USA, UK and many parts of Europe have learnt the hard way.

Covid is lurking somewhere in the background ready to strike.

Thailand has an excellent safety record (well done to everyone) why ruin it for the sake of a few drinks?

 

Lift the booze ban and at least they can control the conditions that people drink in.

Here where I live in Bangkok more and more of the big houses are opening up as party houses with people drinking, socialising with no concerns for Covid-19. These parties tend to go on until 3 or 4 am.

Yeah, yeah, dirty foreigners again

Richard Barrow posted on Twitter (this morning or last night) that 2 foreigners tested positive for Covid-19 after going to get a "Safe to Fly" certificate. Apparently they showed no symptoms and they had travelled extensively the last few days.

I cancelled TVMucho on Tuesday evening and all I got was the message in settings was "expires on 4th of March" 

Got a VPN costs about $60 for two years, downloaded BBC iplayer and ITV Player, they work just fine.

 

That sounds good.

I tried but (now I can't remember exactly) but I think I needed a TV license number or an address in the UK. Both iPlayer and ITVplayer knew I was using a VPN and I got the "not available in your area" message, so i gave up.

I to have experienced buffering over the last few days I emailed and got the same message as others in this thread about the CDN. I also did the trace info for them. They did email me back this morning to ask me to check if things now work ok and I checked to find that everything is still buffering. It is as many say unusable at the moment and I'm using a VPN and iPlayer etc instead. Its a shame as I do think TVMucho is great when its working, and much easier than having to use multiple players along with their quirks.

I found that live TV was ok, but that catch up (Later) was buffering. Again I wrote to them and they told me to reset my router, which I did and that helped.

I think it is much better now.

I received a reply from my email about 2 hours ago where they asked me to check for buffering.

I tried my "later" saves and watched live for 2 hours.

Result: No buffering at all.

That shows it pays to complain.

I think most people have binned it to be honest, and those who have not are in the process of.

It is impossible to watch at the moment

Has anyone contacted them about this?  (I mean the buffering)

I did this morning and they sent this message:

My sincerest apologies for the inconvenience. The CDN (cloud server) in Asia, Africa, and Australia are being re-routed hence, the buffering/freezing issue. We'll make sure to keep you posted once this is fixed.

They then sent me an email asking me to do some sort of tracing and send the report to them.

Thanks.

In the meantime I am trying Krakan. 

Or are there any other recommended Thai sites? I am interested in all cryptocurrencies, not only Bitcoin.

I have been trying for days to register with Bitkub bur get a "closed for registration's due to maintenance".

I give up!

A similar thing happened to me a few months ago.

I talked to immigration and they were quite good about it. They told me I would probably get an overstay fine and then renew my visa.

Luckily my passport received on the day of expiration, so I was quite busy running around Bangkok and eventually to Chaeng Wattana.

Go to the bitkub thailand site and familiarize yourself with the content

I have tried signing up a couple of times, but receive a message that they are not accepting new registrations at this time

I've tried registering a new account at Bitkub a couple of times now and always get a "closed for new registrations" message.

This story actually happened in Ireland but I think it's Thai related in that this sort of behaviour happens daily in Thailand and is accepted.

A Thai lady was awarded 10,680 pounds because an employee at Starbucks drew a "slanted eye face" on her cup to identify her. She must be thrilled to get that amount of money.

Just imagine if we could get compensation every time we are singled out as being "foreign". 

Maybe restaurants and other venues are losing money, but others are gaining.

Now at least 3 houses on our soi have started renting out for private parties.

Last night the cars were parking in the middle of the road, blocking access to some houses. The police came and simply told the owners of the cars to move.

The Chinese will not be happy with this one ..........LOL

That's interesting. 

Why do you say Chinese?

Edit: After reading the post a little closer. I understand what you mean. 

I thought you meant that the illegal dens were owned by Chinese (which I think is the case in a suspicious place near us)

It's good to see a list of the exact locations.

Often we are just given the approximate location.
