Everything you are hearing about the internet is false.

When one considers that it is "Col Sirichan Ngathong, deputy spokeswoman of the NCPO" and "the ICT Permanent Secretary" who are saying (some of) the things being heard, your observation may or may not be correct.

It's hard to get an accurate read as the various Junta and ICT spokespeople have been saying different things publicly ("misunderstanding", "glitch", "given an order to block", "not given an order to block" but there have been translated spoken references to the on-going installation of a centralized gateway ("streamlining the blocking of on-line content") for some services like FB/Instagram, Line, YouTube, et al.

No doubt some western company is supplying the required software and hardware, probably through a third-party to avoid sanctions in their home country.

Some posit that yesterday's brief blockage of FB/Instagram was either/both a 'warning shot'/experiment prior to meetings scheduled between the Junta/ICT and these providers, meant to encourage them to self-censor, or timed to discourage the organization of protests timed for after work participation.

good as telephon: signal is very weak in the office, often speak with people I don't understand well so the sound should be clear and loud

This would seem to be your primary requirement as you listed it first. Maybe chat with others in your office to match up service provider(s) and acceptable models? That is to say, which models perform acceptably for other people in your office, and then maybe choose one of those?

It seems like the SGS5 is OK for you except for the size, price and bloatware?

There are many, many, many comparison sites available but I think you need to prioritize your requirements:

good audio quality

works well with your current provider

has a screen size closer to 4.5"

costs less than 20,000 baht

so it should be relaitviely easy to identify a goup of five or so models, then sort out what's actually available here. In the end it may be that you really only have one or two options?

I'm sure this just a technical problem which will be resolved at some point in the future.

Still some deals on the ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T on eBay and Amazon. I saw a mention of $199 on eBay a few days ago but couldn't find it with a quick search.

Great specs for that price as it was $499 initially, I think?

IF, the sub in your mp4 file is hard coded, then you cannot extract it out.

I used to use a program called SubRip which uses OCR to "rip" hard-coded subs into an .SRT file with associated timings. It worked amazingly well, but I haven't used it in quite a few years.

If you have a smartphone and use mobile data there may be advantages to convert, but if you are happy with your current service why rock the boat.

When DTAC's GSM concession ends in 2018 you will have to transition.

Btw , who came up with the name of tour ?

The name of her current album is "Red". So my guess would be that's why the tour is named "The Red Tour"?

Not that hard to figure out now is it, Sparky?

I would just contact the developer directly and purchase a license for whoever owns the tablet. The developer probably accepts Paypal along with other methods of payment. They'll email you a license file which you can add to the tablet.

Arrest all protesters, for commiting crimes against Thailand.

Note that there are pro-Army/pro-coup protesters. I'm guessing you don't recommend arresting them, even though they might be violating laws/rules issued by the Junta?

A couple of days ago she asked me what I would think if she was a man

As this is seems to be an odd conversation topic, this would seem to answer your question, but if unsure ask.

Where did you meet?

In that uniquely Thai way, Pro-Coup demonstrators are at Democracy Monument and Anti-Coup demonstrators are at Victory Monument.

His younger brother, Lt-Gen Preecha, seems to get moved around and promoted, but I'm sure that has nothing to do with nepotism.

Thai army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha to hand pick new senate after coup

"The Yingluck government designed this policy in a bid to woo voters, corrupted and garnered support from vested-interest groups through the whole process of the pledging scheme,'' he said.

And it's so good we are adopting it.

Hopefully the Junta will take the time to trace the source of all these weapons.

Maybe they will be surprised at the source, and underlying corruption, they discover? OK, maybe not.

He will also name himself First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chief Justice, Commander-in-Chief, Lord High Admiral... Archbishop of Titipu, and Lord Mayor" and Lord High Everything Else as he is the Grand Poobah.

Seriously, as of today he is in charge of:

Tin Pot Dictator.

When the people find out what he's done they will be very, very upset.

This is the first coup ever in Thailand where the coup maker hasnt met with HM on live TV to ask for approval.

As has been highlighted, this Junta did not display the Thai flag, or Royal images, just a slogan about the challenges a soldier, during their initial declaration.

Army dep. spokesman says unavailability of CNN and BBC on TrueVisions due to technical problems which are currently being fixed.

"technical problems".

Should be fixed sometime in the next 24 months.

The NPOMC has been renamed National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO).

Who is stopping you?

Of course, if one does not know something, it is easier to simply say "it can't be discussed" :-D

Well it's against the forum rules for one thing.

By the way, in the post that you quoted, you omitted a lot, notably:

My list was not made up "my" reforms, but rather those that I can remember being espoused by various learned Thais over the past few months.

I didn't omit any on purpose.

Why doesn't anyone have even a general idea of what they will be?

Well the primary reform can't be discussed, just like the real reason for this coup can't be discussed.

Other one's which have been floated:

"decentralization", which means elected provincial governors (other than Bangkok which already does that).

re-write the constitution, again, and insure that any amendments require a referendum

improve education, require a certain educational competence in order to vote

insure fair elections, no vote buying.

a parliamentary make-up of at least 75% appointed representatives

making sure no PTP/UDD people can participate, hence the use of the word 'sweeping'

In all honesty there is but a single reform that is sought.

Some channels are back on my TrueVisions cable, but a lot of channels are still blocked. Evidently they figured out a way to selectively block channels based on some list the Military Junta issued?

Good news, the sports ("spore") channels are back.

TrueVisions cable TV in Bangkok still blocked for me. Just the five services logo, now a bit out of focus, and no music, and no scroll.

The associated radio channels appear to remain un-blocked, including BBC.
