Tesla Powerwalls available in Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
I better shut my mouth about electric battery cars. In Thailand?? But have fun if you have the money to waste and circle around the neighborhood. -
Best solution for enlarged prostate that blocks urinating
KhunBENQ replied to Steven55's topic in Health and Medicine
80 years old, dementia, already has a catheter (through the penis?). Sorry to say but in my opinion this is hopeless/too late for medication. I myself have developing problems (mid 60s) and use misc stuff (that has been mentioned above) to win a few years before Rezum or whatever. Just a nightmare to end like my father: My father was in a similar situation and got a catheter through the belly. And worst case not just visit the bath and open a valve but having it connected to a urine bag attached to the leg. Not what you wish for but probably only solution. Is he living alone? Does he have a medical caretaker/regular visit? He might even have problems to empty the bag or change to a new. The catheter has to be changed in some regular interval (is it a year? I forgot). This procedure has to be done at a hospital, usually outpatient. -
How are the visa rules now?
KhunBENQ replied to sweetserenity's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
This simply: yes. -
I always do 1080p as it matches my screen. But look at this screenshot (about 1/4 of the view) and can hardly read any of the signs. Really poor. (click on picture for original size)

Air pollution increases in upper northeastern regions of Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Geography is not a strong point of Thai journalism. "northeastern"?? N W E S Hope this helps. Not a single location named has anything to do with the northeast. I was alarmed from the headline as you can understand. And the link to the article ends in a 404 -
Fun spoiled by quite blurry videos. New cam or review edit/upload process.

Seven Deadly Days of Songkran Road Accident Update in Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Clearly no from the numbers. More traffic, slower traffic on average, jams and gridlocks. Also not true for big cities in the west. Too much traffic does not cause deadly accidents. More deadly on open rural highways (if one can speed). -
Seven Deadly Days of Songkran Road Accident Update in Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The usual annual media show. A number of 36 deaths is way below the average on other days before Covid. It's not the seven deadly days it's just the seven days of jams/gridlocks. Cars in endless jams/columns can involve in many heavy accidents. -
PTT and Saudi Company to Invest in Green Hydrogen
KhunBENQ replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
What else could be zero emission? Same like the rich Arab countries that plaster the desert with cheap solar cells and produce electricity for about 1 Eurocent/kWh. With the enormous amount of solar energy available the low efficiency of electrolysis can be neglected. -
I played around with the Google flights site. And cheap flights are also 23h or so with 2 stops. Cheapest I find in May/June is ANA+United via Tokyo and San Francisco (~44k Baht). Fastest flights are 16h with 1 stop but really expensive (~70k). That puzzles me a bit. West is via Europe or Arabia and much longer. 25 hour is the lower end.

AI Can Now Crack Most Passwords in Less Than a Minute
KhunBENQ replied to BigStar's topic in IT and Computers
Much overblown reporting. Being presented with a password hash without any context, what can AI do more than brute force crackers? The graphics though is useful. Length counts, over complex pw is not necessary, <A-Z><a-z><0-9> suffices with proper length >= 16. sTpxehc2jZVForutdY is better than .>,,{}:* in any category. Of course the long one is created by PWTech. AI can know as much about me as possible and still what's the difference. There is a recent thread where PWs were discussed. -
Thanks for the good news! While thailanguage.com is a multi purpose site I prefer thai2english for the easy/simple use.

Jomtien immigration confirms closure dates for Songkran
KhunBENQ replied to biervoormij's topic in Pattaya
May well be that private businesses are open as normal but not government offices. See above. Indeed printed calendars and online calendars from year end don't show a holiday at all. -
Jomtien immigration confirms closure dates for Songkran
KhunBENQ replied to biervoormij's topic in Pattaya
Monday 17th is a government holiday, all offices nationwide closed. Can't comment on Pattaya specifics. Another poster in my thread wrote that banks will be open. (in line with BoT site). -
Going the wrong way! Motorcyclist killed after collision in Phuket
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
-
Just a reminder. I noticed that this Monday after Songkran is not shown as a holiday on many online and printed calendars. So I double checked with latest news and immigration office calendar. It's the substitute for Saturday 15 (last day of Songkran). Don't try your luck on Monday, April 17. Government (incl immigration) offices closed. I don't know whether bank main branches will be open.

Going the wrong way! Motorcyclist killed after collision in Phuket

Yet another reminder to have a dash-cam! Otherwise no one will believe what you see on the roads of this country. I will buy a new one with front and rear.
