Prayut's powers of deduction are so sharp. He'd best be careful, he's likely to cut himself.

This morning I though TOT was having a problem with their signal as I couldn't get any web page to open. Turned off my VPN and internet works fine.

Tried two other VPN's same problem. No internet at all.  Anyone else have this

Had similar problem w weeks ago. We had a new wireless system installed and when finished my Zenmate VPN had stopped working. 3 days later I get an email from Zenmate to say sorry, their server was down. Just coincidence? Who knows, but all ok on 4th day.

Why not let the competition operate like in the Philippines? There now  the regular taxi's  have put their prices down to compete with Uber and Grab and all this is good for the consumer !! 

You are trying to get them to think outside the box. Will never happen.

I used to get on the escalator and turn around facing up, but I'm getting too old for silly games like that

Been using a Samsung A7 for nearly 3 years and it's on it's last legs.

 

Got another new Samsung about 6 months ago on a UK contract that lasted 5 weeks.

 

I'm ready to explore the Thai Market for a phone. I have read good reports on lesser brands such as xiaomi. 

 

If a new phone can give me 12-18 months of continual smooth operation I'd be pleased.

 

I use the phone for

Surfing web

Typing content such as this

Skype app

Regular phone calls

Whatsapp

 

That's it really.

 

So has anyone got a phone they are very happy with and purchased it in thailand and the cost/name of this device and any other info?

 

Dual sim would be great.

 

I like Android OS.

 

 

Try the Asus Laser 4. Around 12000baht maybe less. Good touch screen. Good camera easy to use for internet, Skype and whatsapp. Had mine 18 months with no prolems

Maybe start a new poll on how silly this poll is.

People are so negative here.

If a topic doesn't interest you, then why bother sniping?

Ah, but the sniping gets rid of the frustration.

Nobody seems to be querying the obvious - and while I am in agreement with all of you about the treatment of paedophiles how did the Thai police find out about this unless they are snooping on people on their internet use?

 

I mean - how private are my emails to my bank or accountants, or children, or anyone? Are my internet movements tracked secretly?

 

Am I paranoiac? 

 

Well, I use geo-location block and a VPN habitually as I value my privacy. Not that I do anything wrong but it's like the feeling of being violated when you come home after a burglary to find the thieves have gone through your underwear drawer and your wife's underwear.

Just because your paranoid, doesn't mean they are not after you!

50 Provinces in the lower northeastern region? That's two thirds of the country crammed into a small part of the country. How many shoe horns were used?

Wonder who tipped her off to fly the nest?

I think the £ is at an all time low against the Baht. The lowest I can ever ever remember, it was 44 to the £ in the very early 90s. Much as I appreciate the £ has dropped for many reasons, the Baht has strengthened against many currencies over the past year.

I'm still waiting for the right thing to spend it all on to arrive

One word, which starts, M

Thai rat Thai.  Suppose policing should come from somewhere, but paying people to rat on one another is a bit sick.  

Not when the results can be a safer place for pedestrians.

Someone make a mistake with the Mexican fire dance?

Sounds like something messy hit more than the fan.

A first class response from the media. Puts some suit firmly in their place.

Ample evidence on this thread, I think, that TIT is not an exclusively Thai preserve - with TIUK and TIG being mentioned as offshoots so far!

Add to that, the French. Many of my dealings with them have been mind boggling. So, TIF can be added.

Does the tag HYPOCRITE sit well on Thai shoulders?

A friend of the GF was killed driving her pick up home drunk one night. Went to the wake at the house and loads of visitors arrived in their cars or on bikes, proceeded to get drunk and drove home . Until the police start enforcing laws the culture will not change.

Good luck to anyone stupid enough to try and stop me from giving my opinion about what goes on in Thailand that just defies all common sense. Be they Thai or a Farang you will quickly be put in your place. Do I worry about expressing my views, not in the least.

I believe we are all entitled to air our views. But a lot depends on how the view is expressed.

I'm sure Interpol will request he calls in for a meeting with them, whenever he has time to spare ! (Thai style).

Quite possible, but it would not be for attitude adjustment.

A problem here in Thailand is that local organisation often only spring into action after they are forced too by people higher up. It is as if they are afraid to work and make some changes. So many incompetent people on posts that just want to collect salary and skim of budgets.. it would be too much to ask to do their job. 

 

Look at the guy of the disaster prevention with warehouse full of boats.. not used... saying that they are already allocated and some are not working (then fix them.. its your job). It really looks like people don't want to do their job or are not good at it.

A bigger problem IMHO, is that they are so sealed inside their own little boxes, they have no idea how to think outside it.
