50k for the funeral. My guess.

And I thought it was about overcharging stupid farangs where it would not be 70 vs 60 vs 50 Baht but more like 300 vs. 200 vs. 100. Raging about 10 Baht difference. How desperate must they be.

In the meantime we also got a share. Furious thunderstorm two nights ago. Lightning stroke close by, always a "special" bang This night we had lasting rain hoping for more.

Best time for me is after breakfast at my desktop hammering on the PC. Not sure whether Jomtien (the special ones) do not accept online?

Just reading the opening post is useless. Read the whole article to get an idea about the troublemakers. Shouldn't have been there just for a start. Then claiming there are many other underagers in the club is also not a wise try. And so on...

Does this win votes for the election? The loving father of the nation cares about the children

Bee excursion to Bangkok failed

What does "hide in a temple" mean here? Did he play the monk?

The 11 can call themselves lucky that the damned tin can didn't go up in flames like so often. Driver: if he recovers, will he be at the wheel again? Yes.

Hasn't this been covered in another recent thread? Old news in fast moving times.

Yes. So many here. Primary school students whizz up and down the village. Elderly using it as a handicapped vehicle. These types of "toys" are not legal on the road and fortunately I have never seen them on the highway. Even here!

No better found.

Well. he says it has sentimental value. Maybe inherited? Old model? Or fake?

I have seen the video of the guy (Pattaya News) and a blurry picture of his million Baht Rolex. A typical younger Pattaya guy, heavily tattooed with T-shirt and shorts. Not wearing any other jewelry/gold/chains at the police station. So he would be an extreme example of understatement. Simply does not fit the typical gold/diamond Rolex owner. I looked through hundreds of pictures of Rolex watches. Up to now not a single one that comes close. Just saying. Any experienced watch experts here?

German health departments during Covid to report cases. Sounds like but is not a joke! (like the rest of government infrastructure) Could be wrong but even provisional election results from the polling stations had been sent by FAX.

We are doomed. Some wind and a bit less hot. But not a drop of rain. Now white/blue sky and rising temperature. All the magic forecasts from the big computers in US/UK/Germany/Australia... and Thai Met are for the bin!

Can you tell what Sydney server this is? I see about 30 different ones. Just looked up "biggest internet provider in Australia". Your ping times are significantly higher. AIS fiber has been praised here in a couple of posts.

That's what I can tell. I installed an SSD (internally) and did a complete reinstall of Windows on it. It in no way clashes with the Windows still on the harddisk ("dead space"). Just a matter of boot options in the BIOS. I once accidentally started the old one and needed a moment to realize (why is it so slow again). External: as you can boot from external USB sticks (quite popular), I am quite sure it should work with an SSD connected via USB. Of course: even with USB 3 this might not be lightning fast.

AIS 5G means some mobile (phone) plan? I have 3BB (1000/500) since years and it's reliable and fast. Can't comment on True but just from reading here it sounds like a lot of complaints. Those who are the "masters" of international fiber lines are the former ToT and CAT. Now merged to NT (National Telecom). I don't know whether they do individual fiber to the home. ToT did. Can we repeat your measurements? That's what I get for "Telstra, Sydney" with OOKLA:

Exactly the same that I got in Nong Khai, July 17th 2022. Completely normal and no magic about the end date. 8 MAY 2023 = day 1 6 JUN 2023 = day 30 (last day you can legally stay) This is my stamp on the TM6, passport picture no saved.

I missed this annual news. As stated last year it was April 27th. That's the day when the sun peaks over Bangkok. At our place that was yesterday. Heaven thanks we didn't have a single lasting power outage during the last two months.

So they don't take it too serious to check the type of insurance. Good for you.

And what is your dream place?

If you find another nonstop than Lion tell me. All other search results are absurd 2 stop/2 airline trips up to 26 hours. Flights to U-Tapao are still very limited. Domestic: Ko Samui, Phuket with Bangkok Airways Chiang Mai with Lion Air Thursdays no flights at all. Other days more flights to/from Siberia than domestic.

As far as I know only Thai Lion Air, two or three flights per week. And far from a "premium" experience.
