  1. And this makes me think that he acted out of carelessness or senility. If he had qualified for a Non O-A in Finland he should have been capable of extending.
  2. Would be nice if possible, but I doubt it. It's not money in account available without deduction any time. You can't get a bank letter as is usual.
  3. Will have to check whether it's in my Soi Buakhao collection yet. Guess about 20 variations. Boy Cow is a funnier one.
  4. My laptop is always in carry on. You just have to put it on a separate box for X-ray. Never any question or switch on required. And whats special/different with the Playstation?
  5. Pattaya police will make sure you can't watch legally in any bar. Recently a nice report about raids and promise to patrol regularly.
  6. Sure not daily. Weekly I guess. Arrive and depart Saturday for the usual swap in the hotels.
  7. Are you sure? It might be difficult to find up-to-date information but not all of the world has joined the European sanctions. Some are more than eager to buy their oil and gas. Saudis buy cheap Russian oil for their own consumption and sell the Saudi oil for high prices at the world market. Just one example. India very high on the list of countries increasing business with Russia. China anyway. Turkey... Some countries are impractical to reach due to airspace ban in Europe/US.
  8. Details wrong as can be. I better trust flightstats. No flights from Moscow but three flights from Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and Krasnojarsk tomorrow Nov 26th. AZUR airline code is KTK. "AZ" is phantasy. AZUR air owned by a Turkish(!) tourism group. Would you love to be in Novosibirsk for winter ????
  9. Ok, that's wise. You can walk down and try luck with some places with elevated terrace or the like. Hotel rooftop stuff is somewhat pricey. Starts at 900 or so. Didn't care to look at the Hilton Otherwise join the crowd on the beach.
  10. You want to drive by car up from Rayong and back after the event? That would be the main concern for me. Don't even think of getting close to the beach with the car. At latest down from 3rd road it will be a terrible mess, gridlock on 2nd rd and Soi Buakhao as beach rd closed (my experience/observations are from music festivals) Best park far from the beach and try to find some transport. Be there right before sundown (like 5 PM). You can just walk and show up, no reserved seating as far as I know. Bet there will be deckchairs/loungers on the beach. But whether you will catch some? If you want to spend big you could look for reserved rooftop views from major hotels (buffets etc.). Might be fully booked already?
  11. From the description the most plausible guess. And some can indeed look "ovoid" shaped. Not an insect as the OP does not mention any legs. An insect has six legs (a spider eight).
  12. Very true. You don't have to like them and most don't speak English or refuse to. They often come with wife/family. Not the #1 target customers for bars/redlight. They won't stand much in your way. I guess the majority will still stick to Jomtien?
  13. ToT speedtest will know their "best/nearest" server to test against. Ookla has it's own algorithm to find a near/suitable server. Generally there are rarely two identical speed test results. Many factors influence the result. 1050 is more than usual network cards/cable can handle? So a bit suspect! All in all I wouldn't think about too much about these numbers/differences. Try fiddling with Ookla and select a specific server e.g. in your home country. Will give much lower numbers.
  14. The media pictures of the half empty stands and the "fleeing" visitors are too funny. I read that during the TV broadcast they carefully avoided such pictures
  15. Thanks for the straight answer And I sometimes think why I pay for 1000/500 at 3BB. A friend who hasn't a thick wallet asked me about an offer for fiber internet at his Jomtien condo. I told him to opt for the cheapest 300/300. He is completely happy after changing from some creeping old DSL.
  16. Out of curiosity I would love to know what one does with such bandwidths (Gigabits/s not Gigabyte BTW). Data center, commercial streaming/pirate server?
  17. Buying Thai baht at some airports in arbitrary countries and then surprised about bad exchange? Hard to find words. Exchange rates at airport rail link(!) at BKK might be worse 0.05 than in the city. Multiply by your amount and decide whether it's worth to run around Bangkok city. From 20000 Dollar/Euro aka 1000 Baht I might do. Before some know betters start again: rail link is not "the airport" (AOT) where you should not change any significant amount.
  18. You were faster. Just seen some 10 mins of a video from Julia and Thomas. Complete paranoid psychos. This guy can babble obscure stuff for 10 mins and I don't get any sense of it. Seems some "Matrix"/"New World Order?" conspiracy behind? Too many running free instead of monkey house. For my own sanity I didn't dig deeper.
  19. I took the hard path and searched with the Thai term for marine department. If I had known that there is a "Marine Office 6 ..." it might have been easy ????
  20. Up here majority of people would say who cares? Quite sure a mood change and everybody knows why and everybody afraid to talk about. Not standing up for the anthem? A silent protest? It's 8:10 and I heard no anthem from the schoolyard. But CH3 TV did the ritual as always. Underlying with some patriotic militarized video clip.
