Good luck, I don't remember the initial post, but thanks for the update. I can identify with your problems, we are building a house at the moment, and face similar challenges as mentioned on a daily basis.

The Crowded Room on appleTV Lior Raz from Fauda makes an appearance.

Yes, me too. I always thought “wait until it expires” was a bit of an expat myth, but a lot depends upon the office. Not much use to the OP, only another 10 months to go. ????

I think there is some major confusion here. @Mickeymaus mentioned nothing of data cable. This explains LTE Cats well.

Yes, I had the duck before - Its all flooding back now. I always enjoyed meals there, just the vibe and the service. I think spending so long in HY, you work out the menus never change, I remember Homless being another culprit, an great looking crew of chefs but no creativity, no weekly/daily/seasonal specials. We have some great pizza places here in Khon Kaen, but I don't think it beats the quality of Japanese restaurants in HY - Mari Jang near the bus station and the one on the side road opposite Siam Nakarin building are still some of my favorite places in Thailand. We can get HY fried chicken in Issan, but like we gave up buying it, such a disappointment - there is nowhere that can compete with the morning places in HY Nai or the evening spot under the railway bridges near the central market. Haven't you seen sprouts in HY before? I miss them very much, we usually found them in market behind the tiger temple / Sri Sawang Wong school.

After so long in Thailand, don’t you just find yourself nodding and agreeing with peoples beliefs, true or not?

I think that’s par for the course .. he has a Samsung phone which he doesn’t want to wear out with all those packets, so just needs a cheap non-Chinese phone to act as a hotspot. So I’m guessing he will need two sims either way. ????‍♀️ idk.

I’m pretty sure TVC is not at capacity. It’s was always that if you asked on the fb page they would probably give you an invite.

I worked in schools all over Thailand for more than 10 years, generally the food is OK, nothing really to much to worry about. The worst food was at private / bilingual schools where they charged quite a bit for compulsory school lunch, the best food at government schools. Some schools used off site kitchens, but the food was always cold, but of a good standard and the service efficient. Obviously, the money is going to the wrong person.

LTE routers can be defined by Cat4, Cat6 and Cat12. As you point out, Category also defines the operating standards of cable.

There was some great threads about sim routers in this forum, like you say the different generations and stream aggregation, one guy really knew his stuff.

Are you serious?

Why not buy a decent sim router I like this company https://www.gl-inet.com they are based in HK, Its run by an English guy. Support and products are spot on and intuitive.

How was the food? The pizza is still one of my favorites.

Bangkok is pretty crap, planning, public transport and access for disabled is appalling, well behind other nations. I don't consider myself disabled, I dont own a wheelchair or any aid, but have occasional mobility issues .. some things are generally OK in Thailand. If i'm having a bad day, I can be selective on where I go and what I do. Things can be taken slowly here, life is more relaxed, and with the overstaffing at most shops and attractions there is always someone to advise or assist. Obviously if you are in a wheelchair you are going to have difficulty visiting some attractions, but I can see some effort is made, such as slopes to replace steps. Even at my immigration office, it would be impossible for a person who couldn't walk to attend the main office as they have no lift but they do have a bell on a lower level and an officer will come down and deal with you in the lobby. I was feeling lazy one time and waited downstairs while my wife went upstairs to hand in some papers, the officer came down to explain something I already knew. I could have walked up the stairs if I wanted to, the stairs at KKC bus station are really steep tho, I was just on the phone downstairs getting ready to go up. I thought that was a nice touch. I don't have a disabled badge on my truck, but I never have problem speaking to the security guard and getting a priority parking space without any discussion or assessment, a lot of shops (like the huge DIY megastores) provide wheelchairs if needed and the service is excellent, there is no delay, someone is on the radio to control, a wheelchair provided along with an offer of a staff member to push you around even when its never needed. The airlines have quite a good free service when booked in advance, they will upgrade your seat, hold back other passengers and get you on board first - even if it means holding the passengers in the departure lounge for 10 mins for you to climb the steps. On a local level, I can afford to live in my own place that I designed to meet my current needs and I hope in the future, I am not going to be stuck in some sheltered housing. I can go to 7-11 on my bike, and park 2m from the door without troubling anyone. My best mate in the UK died of a progressive illness before we made it to 40 , he was given a disabled badge for his car but had difficulty in getting a disabled bay outside his house because the house he bought when he was healthy, was on a busy residential street. After finally being granted a space he would often find the bay occupied by others, his wife would have to knock on neighbors door or the police called only to find a selfish driver doing their shopping. I wouldn't want to deal with this. I know the points I have mentioned maybe small, maybe they are offensive to registered disabled who have no choice, and I don't have enough experience to compare. As you say, it CAN be done. Thai people here don't quite understand disability, but they generally will go above and beyond to assist because its the way they would assist older people who they have greater respect for (I know its not always about assistance, its about living the same life as an able bodied person) - I would rather be here, doing my own thing, than being dumped in sheltered housing, with rules and regulations to assist me with no real assistance in my home country.

Correct about the transfer, but if you open a new account, add it to your existing accounts on the banking app, then you can transfer between accounts don't pay charges. I sat there in disbelief when the clerk informed me the charge was 2000B+ in Kasikorn when I opened a new account at the local branch.

Someone mentioned some invite only trackers https://hdfans.org/signup.php Is open for signups today (Friday) - maybe worth a look, Chinese tackers (this is a Chinese tracker) become quite popular and difficult to get into after a while.

Of course I read the post. Why cant you put it into bridge mode yourself? The PPoE credentials come taped to the router box on the initial install, you can request them from 3BB, they dont give them immediately any more, because of security concerns, but they send them via SMS after ID check. Why not try the TP-link ONT - but I would ask them for the Huawei ONT I suggested first.

That is so weird .. I have a 3BB ONT .. you can just plug that into your pfsense router. Just ask them for one. Its a Huawei EG8010H (I think that's what it is but too lazy to get up and check). When they had some issues configuring the ONT, they gave me a GPON router and put it into bridge mode .. no questions asked, no bribes necessary. They also bought two different GPON because they were sure it was a hardware issue. Unifi are offering a fibre GPON - its about $45 in the states, im sure its not available here, it may work or may not work with Thai ISP, but time will tell.

@longball53098 The post title is for an app .. I may have been mislead on this point, I didn’t even check, my comment was general because it’s not uncommon for well meaning contributors to a post an app for a android box, free VPN or a website with video content on AN. The websites are not the same as sbs, iplayer or whatever streaming service people use. I just think as time goes on, data mining becomes more sophisticated and we increasing don’t really understand the need or the methods - the more we should be aware of “free” websites, without wishing to patronize, maybe this is more relevant to less tech-savy members who would blindly grant systemwide permissions because a friend recommended this app to get … There is no such thing as a free lunch, and if you aren’t paying for the product, you are the product. Anyway, I’m off to fill some sandbags and fold another tin foil hat. Anyone else is free to do what they want.

Absolutely not - I wouldn’t say I would try to avoid using all these services, if I went to extremes then i would go crazy, but I try to be aware and find alternatives if I can. I mentioned Russia and China as culprits, I neglected to mention the US but assumed people know that google and Dropbox are US companies all doing the same. Again, in this case, servers and bandwidth are not free, they need to be paid for - users should just ask themselves how? by whom and why?

I didn’t mention virus. You give these apps permissions when you install them. Like I said, I don’t particularly care what you do but users should be aware that these sites are there for a purpose, they aren’t community based or open source, they are collecting your data which they sell onward. Some just your location, your computer, your data but others are more nefarious because you give them access to your network when you install. I hope you understand.

Can I offer a possible explanation .. Clearly there is not a conspiracy, as we can all watch the interview on BBC News App without a VPN. However, certain broadcasts are only available to UK license payers, certain "live" or first broadcasts are not available to that region, and you get the grey screen. Good replies to the Jonathan Heads questions.

Do you have a link, I would be interested to see it.

I just started this .. hard to tell as only two episodes of four available atm. Ghosts of Beirut on Showtime
