  1. Yeah, I was in HY for 15 years and visited a couple of different high street clinics - they were always happy to clean and fill, but when you need some real work done, a lot of places aren't equipped, they ask you to return to see a specialist who visits once a week or fortnight during the evening. I am not too sure about places like Dentalland on Rajindee ( I used to teach the receptionists English) or places like Bangkok hospital. Maybe worth a look if you don't want to bother with Thai uni system.
  2. Because it doesnt .. https://grapheneos.org/releases
  3. I'm more interested in trying out the privacy based OS and secondly a reasonably priced android phone, maybe keeping it after I buy a new iPhone. I was more wondering about the price rather than the pitfalls of buying on lazada.
  4. I don't think pixels are officially released here. I like xiaomi products, but in this instance its more about trying out the OS.
  5. Yeah, the reviews are ok - I was just wondering if the price was OK from a pixel owners point of view, GrapheneOS doesnt run on Samsung.
  6. These free streaming sites are way flakey, are you sure they are hosted at one of the major data centers? I had imagined they were Russian. They should be avoided at all cost, there are better ways of getting content - streamio, torrentio or some other similar method using the same protocol.
  7. I buy my coffee from here https://www.facebook.com/misterlee.mittraphap/ You can find them on lazada, you should ask them to grind the beans for you, however I was told grinding your own is one of the best ways to improve the taste. It's worthwhile getting some more kit like a carafe, scales and grinder for the best experience, you dont have to spend money, cheap from Lazada will suffice.
  8. I have never bought a google phone, but my iPhone is dying and I am keen to try out Graphene OS. I see some Pixel 4a on Lazada for around 5K, from overseas. The sellers have good reviews, so no reason to believe I will be ripped off. Does anyone else have a pixel phone? What prices should I be looking to pay? A Pixel 4 is the last supported model.
  9. afaik, a lot of the big brands like dell, hp, etc use their own proprietary mobo sizes, not ATX, which is a standard size. You could ask at advice, but if they say "mai dai krup", this may be one reason, you also need to match the RAM and CPU to the board. Computers are imho just disposable these days, if you want something that is upgradable, then speak to the guys about building a custom machine, doesnt need to be expensive if you are just browsing the web, photos and admin stuff, it may well be cheaper than off the peg desktop. You might be able to recycle your RAM, HDD and power supply from your old machine.
  10. I think you mean Mob Land - I was thinking it was a persons name. Thanks for the suggestion tho!
  11. This guy will travel, https://www.facebook.com/teeraphatfurniture No English, with a translator he will explain the difference in his furniture and ikea - much better than boonthavorn - he talked about everything here, termites and bowing of wood due to Thai cleaning practices. He gave me a sales pitch when he was in town for an hour or so, then came back which I paid him a small amount and he proposed a design, put all my ideas into a plan on the first attempt. Really understanding, really helpful and knowledgeable. if you want cement carcasses, I’m sure he could work with you.
  12. I’m about half way through, and thought it was ok. I thought I would give some reference or trailer and found those reviews, comparing it to the wire and breaking bad .. lol ? Not really accurate.
  13. Currently watching New Bandits a Brazilian show on Amazon prime, not bad. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27208330/ ? Better than the wire? I don’t think so. @Mutt Daeng Did you know there are subs available for all the seasons of mocro mafia? - you need to be a bit easy going, sometimes things get a bit messy when the guys are talking Turkish / Arabic and the hard subs are in Dutch, but the latest season is pretty good
  14. I have a similar experience as the other poster above, not in Mahidol. The guys in the 1st year work in X-Ray, then the general clinic in the 2nd and 3rd years (I first attended the general clinic and I the service was excellent, they identified my issues immediately, sent me for x-rays and passed my case up the line) I attend the Periodontal clinic and its students that have already graduated and their younger assistants. I have been assessed by a professor in the first and was given a choice by her, join the waiting list (I waited 6 months to be assessed and the treatment queue was another year or accept a student under her supervision) - I am really happy with the service and the charges, which are amazingly transparent. This is in KKU.
  15. Have you visited Prince Of Songkhla Uni Dental Surgery? I know some guys who went there but it was a little difficult to negotiate, like it's only evenings or something, the hospital reception didn't know too much about the procedure and I gave up. You will find a lot of the local specialists teach there during the day. Now, im in Khon Kaen, I go to KKU Dental Hospital, and it's awesome. I really regret not pursuing things in Hat Yai.
  16. This to be moved to the southern forum because there are some active posters there. Yes, although I moved from there 2 years past, I have lived in HY for 10 years and travelled over the past 20. Yala The town isn't a a great place to visit, but if you have your own transport, the trip to Betong is great! There is enough for a long weekend, lots of Malaysians, all the fun of a border town and home to the biggest postbox in Thailand. Well worth a visit, communist insurgent tunnels, the best riding road in the south and very natural. Maybe one of the most isolated communities in Thailand, very unusual. There's also a couple of sea of mist / skybridge / viewpoint places down by the reservoir. Narathiwat I stayed there about 20 years back, was an interesting overnight in a wooden hotel over the water in the harbor. Upstairs were clean and basic guest rooms and downstairs was a brothel - the rather rotund middle aged ladies were great to talk to in the afternoon as they sat outside their rooms and then in the evening there were queues of Malaysian fishermen outside every door. Good seafood at night The only real attraction I saw was Ao Manao, I think. I returned a few years ago to get some petrol, lots of army and checkpoints, quite a developed town now and from what I could see, maybe not that muslim, but I could be wrong. Pattani Never really been there, sorry. I just stopped at some minor towns for breakfast and to fill up with petrol. Friendly enough people, but seems very strict, no 7-11 sells pork or alcohol. I gather you can enjoy some nice seafood by the coast, the beaches aren't much to look at, but I dont know much. If you want to cross off some provinces, I think you will be safe enough. The trouble seems to occur in outlying villages, when police / army are the target. You might want to take a look over the border into Perak, I think its a great area to explore and then re enter Thailand via Dannock
  17. I like to see them work, just like buffalo ploughing - it’s a traditional way of harvesting or cultivation. I am amazed when they sit still on the back of battered pickups. However, apparently they beat the living crap out of them when they are young to get them to fall in to line. This organisation fails to consider that if monkeys didn’t collect the coconuts then a 12 year old Burmese kid would probably be sent up there 7 days a week, without a safety harness, probably for about 300B a day if he was lucky - would consumers pay the increased price of human exploitation?
  18. Take a look at this guy, I have never used him but was going to send a HDD to him. https://www.phuket-data-wizards.com/en/data-recovery.php
  19. When I first came to Thailand, I bumped into a girl from my hometown, she had married a Thai guy and he was a dive instructor. She told me, don't get involved with Thai girls, they are a waste of money. After nigh on twenty years of marriage, I conclude, her advice was good.
  20. I tend to think the opposite, if you can get it for free, then there is a catch. This is even more true when it comes to free VPNs. It's reported that most free VPN services are linked to Chinese companies, why would that be?
  21. Thai TV news are showing a cavalcade of vehicles that have left the plane.
  22. Thakshin Shinawatra: Divisive ex PM returns to Thailand after 15 years https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-66577725 just made the bbc
  23. Not just Bali, on my first backpacking trip to SE Asia in the late 90's I landed in BKK, and after a couple of months was off to Sumatra. I was really quite surprised to find the number of women being accompanied by bare chested-long haired "guides" that hung out in the guest houses of Medan.
  24. Two files kicking around The.Day.After.Trinity.1981.CRIT.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H.264-KUCHU.mkv The.Day.After.Trinity.1981.REPACK.WEBRip.x264-TRINITY.mkv
  25. A few months ago, the choice was either this clown or those clowns, i never imagined people could get behind MF party with such strength and numbers. I didn’t believe that PT could just turn their back on such a response, and it is now perfectly clear the whole charade was to maneuver the party into a position where the sole purpose is to negotiate a return for Tony T. After listening to local folks, you could be mistaken into thinking that PT is a party for the people, it’s not. I still think, economically he is way better than the current comedians, but I think with all this messing around, and the new obvious agenda, that the door will be left open for Anutin or Prawit to walk straight in and it’s all back to square one.
