There was a time when I thought he would be good for this country and welcomed his return, now I wish he would just disappear for good.- 104 replies

You put the router into bridge mode, then you won't be able to communicate with the outside world, because your MacBook won't hold your PPoE credentials. This is normal. Then you enter your credentials and VLAN in your unifi controller software that is built into a UDM.

Drop me a DM .. I also use Unifi products .. I can send you some screenshots of my config. And VLAN 33 is correct, if you are on VLAN 33

Chinese Rolls-Royce Owner Demands Compensation from Pickup Truck Driver
recom273 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I don’t think these luxury cars get 100% insurance or if so. the premium is so high, that it doesn’t make economic sense to insure them at full insurance, because no one will ever crash into them, right? -
Thai wife wants to buy land
recom273 replied to jayceenik's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Thanks, I thought it was on the property. My bad. I dont have one, never really thought I would need one. But why is the poster receiving advice or mentions of a usufruct on land his wife wants to buy as an investment? The post still stands, the OP doesnt want peoples opinions, he wants info. -
Thai wife wants to buy land
recom273 replied to jayceenik's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
The guy has a house and land already, you don't have a usufruct on a piece of land, it's on the property. His wife wants a bit of cash to buy some land, and wants to know about the piece of paper he's being asked to sign, he doesn't want your opinion. We all sign it, just sign it and forget it. If I had the spare cash I would gladly give it to the missus to buy some land. The land we bought on which we are building our land has appreciated, when she has acted as an agent and found a buyer for someone else's land she has made decent money. -
There was a shop that was selling second hand home entertainment kit in Hat Yai, I found it a little over priced the few items that obviously came from Japan. Has anyone been here? I was partially watching, but I never heard any prices other than the small TV tuner, again, over priced.

Deputy House speaker in hot water over a cold beer
recom273 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Where have you see an advert for beer in Thailand? This is why Singha (and Chang?) produce water, it’s why they sponsor football teams, it’s why you get dolly girls with shirt dresses pouring beer - they don’t promote beer, they promote the brand. I already saw a Singaporean TV news broadcast of some MF MP who has a craft beer pub, opening admitting he was an MP because he wants the brewing laws changed as he has a vested interest. Yes, this country is full of hypocrisy when it comes to alcohol laws. The MP should have thought a couple of seconds before he posted the selfie. -
What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2023)
recom273 replied to CharlieH's topic in Entertainment
No worries. Sonarr doesn't search any specific tracker, it searches a load of sites - but uses the names from TVDB, which don't always match up with other sites or info. It will be good to find something new. I'm on a new series of Breeders, which has gone a bit dull, Billions was good last night, Underbelly (Razor) - only 3 more seasons to go, a new season of Darkwinds, the indian reservation cop drama on AMC, it was OK in series one, but not so now. -

You got me again! It wasn't coming up on a sonarr search. The English title is .. The Pimp – No F***ing Fairytale -
I bought mine from China - https://s.lazada.co.th/s.kbH3u Mine are this style, you need to chat with the seller who is very helpful. I use mine to control a zigbee dimmer relay, although I will probably use automations, I thought it sensible to control the relay with momentary switches too.

The Deuce is an another show written by George P. Pelecanos (the wire, treme). Apart from the storyline, I like the vignette blur effect, some found it annoying tho’ New season, 07 of Billions .. if anyone cares any more. -
How much monthly salary should you pay for rescuing a bar girl?
recom273 replied to Goat's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I also say it’s a strange question. I guess it’s dependent upon both parties. When I got together with my wife, she was sharing a box apartment with a few people, it was her place and she lived in the biggest room, while one cousin slept on the sofa and another girl in another room. It didn’t suit me to have her working 11.00-10.00 at the Emporium, so she left work and I made it clear, of course I would look after her and but we work together for the future. I returned to the UK, she got a job in a school food concession, I sent her some cash to make life easier, but then her sister arrived in BKK, her mum started asking for cash. After 9 months I returned and got rid of the Klingons, and we started a fresh, all money is ours, although I manage the money, she has an allowance that pay the rent and covers food, we work together for our own good, she makes her own money and if she wants extra she just asks. I help her as much as I am allowed / risk in her business and she cooks and does whatever to help me when I work in the evening. Paying for someone to not contribute wouldn’t be in my spec wether she was a bar girl or whatever profession. -
Yes, I read a fb comment - the commenter was a rep for a paint company and gave some % figures, was interesting. I forget now, but more than x% will be over dilution but is often done by Thai painters because it makes their job easier, We have kept our eyes on things like this during our build .. builders cutting corners to save a few baht, I guess it all adds up and Thai people on the whole don’t mind it. It’s quite a battle with the builders to get them to understand some concepts like spending a little bit of time and money now, doing things right saves a lot of time and work in the future. I hate this finish, sorry. I find it rather tacky. It’s often found on blue houses with accompanying orange stripes. I have always loved simple white house’s of the Mediterranean, the color is for a reason, they reflect the sun. Each to their own, tho’

Idk if this is worthwhile, but it seems a good idea to me. We were driving past a TOA place the other day, and popped in to see if we could get a discount over the big stores. It turned out they were the local distributors, they immediately dispatched two sales reps out, they made a few calls, took pictures of the plans and gave us a BOQ. One thing we have “learned” is that no tradesman in this country can assess quantity, It’s either way over or you are returning to a shop multiple times to buy small quantities negating any discount you have made by buying bulk in advance. At least a sales rep may give a good starting point, over some local who has no real technical knowledge other than over diluting the paint makes it faster to apply. I need to contact Kaptain and Berger. Does anyone have any other suggestions of reliable manufacturers? I have used dulux in the past on interior walls, but I don’t have the budget on the exterior of this build.

@dingdongrb sorry, have never bought what I would know as gravel, just the grey stones. I can buy them by the tonne and cube. The guys who deliver the soil know where to buy tonnes, whereas builders merchant's sell them by the cube. I once needed some stone in a hurry and got a local place to drop off a cube, the tractor driver shook his head and said if they come on a rusty old pickup, it’s never a cube. A tonne is a much better deal.

Police Raid Luxurious Urban Village Gathering of 9 Nationalities

9 party goers, 24 pils, 2g+ ketamine - I think anyone would have trouble keeping the volume down for 24 hours. -
I have an issue with my neighbor, we had a border dispute, he is Thai, but no one understood what he was talking about, my builder, architect, solicitor, wife - anyway, things have gotten from bad to worse. In the end we went to the police after he came to the gate in a similar fashion to your neighbor. The police said without a video they could do nothing, I would suggest you record any and every interaction with her, make a report of any claims, just so if things get worse you can pursue them further.
