As far as I know, almost all True Internet packages apart from the most basic and cheapest ones, come with a TrueID TV box and a basic TV package. If that doesn't include their World Cup channels - and based on @owl sees all's posts it seems like it may not, then I believe you can get an add-on package for 399 Baht that would give you HD (but not UHD) quality.

Pretty sure you can subscribe to the True Sports package(s) for periods of less than a year. You can even subscribe for a day or week, for instance. A single month's subscription may be 399 rather than the 299/month for a 12 month contract though.

It wouldn't solve the problem of not being able to watch the games on an AIS Playbox but it would enable you to watch the games on free to air channels from other countries. For example, BBC and ITV in the UK.

Yes, but that's the whole point - the email address isn't normally visible. You have to know how and where to click to be able to see it, and most people don't bother to do that. Here's what the email looked like originally.

Going cashless isn't about using credit cards (or at least, not primarily). There are plenty of other ways to make cashless payments without using cards. For instance, if you set up PromptPay, all you have to do is give someone your phone number and they can pay you. Also, with most (if not all) banking apps, you have a "QR to receive" code available on your phone. If you display that code to someone else who has a banking app, they can make a payment to you. Then there are digital payment apps like True Money Wallet, Rabbit Line Pay, Alipay, Google Pay (which just became available in Thailand) etc.

Triplicate.

I make cashless payments all the time when I'm shopping (usually with True Money Wallet). I open the TMW app and have it ready and waiting before the checkout clerk has even finished totalling up the items. Once they scan the app screen, it normally takes around 2 seconds to confirm payment. In my experience it's much quicker than using cash - and there's no waiting for change, either.

Duplicate.

Just "a word to the wise" as the saying goes - there are some emails going round that purport to be from Thailand Post, talking about a payment that is needed for delivery of a parcel, and that ask you to click on a link in the email. A closer look at the details of the sender shows that the email is from an address in Nigeria (.ng suffix) so is highly unlikely to be genuine. See example below where the full email address is visible (it usually isn't, unless you click to reveal it).

You must be disappointed then. ????

If you mean the Thai channels, @norfolkandchanceposted a graphic earlier in the thread showing those. The original of that is on the Pattaya News site but I'm not sure whether a link is permitted under forum rules.

According to the online schedule, the England game tonight is on True Sports 2 & True 4U, in addition to any other Thai channels it may be on. Not sure if TS2 is free-to-air for everyone, but I think T4U is.

I'm actually finding it on 3 TrueVisions channels: True Sports 2, True4U and T Sports 7. Channel numbers 606, 024 & 007 respectively.

According to reports on the BBC and elsewhere, Twitter has now effectively closed down its premises. All its offices are shuttered. Twitter locks staff out of offices Supposedly this is only a temporary closure but who knows?

It depends if you're a Thai national or not. You have to be enrolled in the Thai NDID system and if you're not a Thai citizen, you can't enroll.

700 km may be pushing it a little - BMW's official figures say 623 km WLTP range. Although on the NEDC scale, that would probably be close to 700 km. BMW i7 highlights It's true that if you had to replace an entire EV battery all at once, that would indeed be an expensive proposition. However that's a situation unlikely to face many EV owners. Current estimates of EV battery life are about 20 years, which is way more than the average ownership of most motor vehicles. Even after that, only some cells would normally need replacing, not the whole battery. And as the technology improves, battery life will only get better. Tesla is currently developing an EV battery that will last for a million miles, which they say they are close to achieving.

Fairly sure he means, "tampered with." Although why someone would suspect a financial institution of tampering with their note-counting equipment, I'm not sure. Since in my experience, they usually use the same machines to count the money they're receiving, it would be somewhat counter-productive for them to deliberately mis-calibrate them.

As the article clearly states: "While online payment services for utilities are currently available in many locations throughout Thailand, this isn’t the case in Hua Hin, or at least for people who are billed from the Hua Hin Municipal Waterworks Division."

I haven't actually tried to use it for a while but as far as I can tell, existing K online cards should still work. When I look up my online (virtual) card details I see the following message:

Looking at the figures in the article quoted by @billd766 it sounds economically viable. "Based on U.S. industrial electricity prices, the direct operating cost with nine passengers and two crew, flying at 240 kn (440 km/h), is claimed to be $200 per hour, which compares to $600–1,000 per hour for existing aircraft of similar purchase price such as the Cessna 402s, Pilatus PC-12 and Beechcraft King Air, for operations on routes under 500 nmi (930 km)."

You didn't notice any authoritarian moves by Trump? Were you hiding under a rock during his presidency? As for examples, try the ones in the articles below: Trump's use of the authoritarian playbook Trump is an authoritarian Trump’s Moves Are Right Out of the Authoritarian Playbook Trump made two remarkably authoritarian remarks in one day The authoritarian moves listed there include (but are not limited to) sending paramilitary forces from the Department of Homeland Security to quell nonviolent protests, celebrating the wounding of a journalist by police as “a beautiful sight,” spending an election year casting doubt on the legitimacy of the electoral system, calling independent journalists, "the enemies of the people," attacking and calling for the removal of judges whose decisions he didn't like and calling his main political opponent an "enemy of the state." As pointed out in those articles, all of these things are classic examples of authoritarian moves.

True, as pointed out in @billd766's post, this aircraft carries "nine passengers and two crew" and as the quoted article further states, "55% of airline flights [...] fall within its 565 nmi (1,050 km) range ..." So it definitely isn't intended to replace conventional aircraft on long-haul routes but it could probably handle a decent number of commuter routes that represent a large proportion of flights.

These wind turbines were 20 years old, inefficient and at the end of their working life. As mentioned in the article below, they were due to be decommissioned no matter what was going on with the lignite mine. German windfarm to be dismantled

They don't know for sure. All they say is that "Police enquiries suggest he has fled [...] to Thailand."

Based on what current trend or development?
