Wow! Spliffs with extra cadmium! Where can I get them?

I have a pre--paid AIS SIM for some years now and use mobiletopup.com to - top it up. I've also got an unlimited (but slow speed) internet option for 70 baht a month but I think that offer has long gone.

I know both mean the same thing, and neither is wrong, but I wonder why this change came about and when.

"Penny Spender" was name of the offender in question?

Booking.com  

ALWAYS book flights from the airline - if you need a change or have a dispute unless you book with them direct they will tell you to  politely go away and talk to the agency you booked it with - which means you will get ZILCH help

My son when ghe was younger wanted to join the army (british citizen, no Thai passport) but was living in Switzerland - we went to one of those Army recruitment places in the UK and were told he has to have lived in the UK for the last five years - howvever I can't find this requirement on the Barmy web pages (this was  more than twenty years ago) And being dual nationality does NOT protect you from being conscripted by the other country - I know this happened to several people who had lived all thier lives in the UK but were for example Spanish (back in the eighties) a friend had to go to the spanish Embassy every year where they would tell him there was no war and he could go home. So if the Thai government won't release him the UK government won't help

Also not sure if you are/have got updates with system not activated.

FYI got an update two days ago and it is still checking daily so all seems fine - getting my Defender updates!

1780 AQI last year?

Actually I was using "visibility" as a measure - when I landed this time last year I could barely see to the edge of the runway, let alone  Doi Suthep itself - most days the mountains are clear so visibility ten times greater.

It is TEN times better than it was last year.

Checked my wifes passport (I've got the new "blue" [actually more black] one) - issued march 2015, expires June 2025. So - need to get a new one before March next year but otherswise she's safe to return to Europe.

Thanks for all the helpful replies. I've got a liveable solution and will work on a long-term one.

Got an update a few weeks ago - that'll do me until I come up with a permanent solution up to and including a new Windows 11 latop but the machine works fine and I hate uopgrading just for licence reasons.

I use it until it clears up then stop. Or at least I did until I found the Thailand miracle cure 🙂 decent weather

My reading is you disabled anti virus protection and did not replace with something else so getting a notice to activate. 

Nope - wrong reading sorry. I dsiable Microsoft Software protection which apparently checks to see if the MS software is legal - I left Defender untouched. And it worked - it was taking 40-60% CPU every few minutes - now my machine is running great (albeit with an annoying msg on the bottom right)

And it seems I can't even get a "legit" key from Msoft as they stopped issuing them January last year! (Windows 10 that is)

The best ointment I found was Dermovate - available at chemists here.

Can you share the link, if possible? Thank you

There was no link 

The "P" is silent. 🙂 

Yes I get it intermittently (as well eczema) but mercifully both have cleared up since I arrived here long-stay (5 months) which always seems to happen when I get here - symptoms seem to clear up weeks if not in days. Must be the warm climate (I lived in central Europe before).

Thereafter just hang the catapult on the handle bar

I just use a 50-cm bamboo cane slotted in the back carrier which I can deploy in seconds and growl and threaten at dogs snarling at me.  Works every time.

OK, my laptop was "upgraded" in a shop in Computer Plaza Chiang Mai many years ago to Windows 10 Home (harware is too old for 11). All was fine then I saw this software protection process in task manager banging away. I eventually got in disabled in "services" and CPU is fine - but getting this msg in the bottom right corner. My "trial" copy of Excel (and I assume other Office products) is disabled which is no biggie - I hardly use it, besides I have a legit copy on another machine (not here) so I can fix that when I go back and get the licence key (multi-device)

BUT question is will Windows eventually stop working altoghter?

I am loathe to do a full upgrade with a "legit" copy but Googling I see licence keys for sale for a few hundred baht it seems - how dodgy are these?
