Thai politicians reminded of the rules of campaigning
KhunBENQ replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
?? ?? The most stupid from the list. Could someone declare a rule that speaker being less than 100 dB so my ears don't fly off when they pass the house?? When you experience this you are reminded of living in a third world country. Campaigning for people who are essentially illiterate and have no idea/hopes about politics and party programs. -
Lucky Escape: Sedan Catches Fire on Highway in Surin Province
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
The Thai article says something like he (the owner) had removed the gas tank? Bit of a mystery to me. Maybe leave fiddling with gas equipment to professionals. -
Chiang Mai governor asks employers to allow staff to work from home

Nice that he cares for the office workers. -
Done what all do. Nothing substantial found. And now? When will all the other bars on Soi 6 be raided and carried to police station. Seems a case of missing connections/bribes. Being ferried: are they thrown in barred buses and carted to Pattaya? Carrying ankle tags to avoid fleeing? Hypocrisy to it's best.

The pest of reversed pictures. About 80% of Thai girl selfies are reversed. Samsung is the culprit. But that leads too far. -

Pattaya Police Launch City-Wide Search Targeting Foreigners on Overstay
KhunBENQ replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Before one travels half of the world from his nanny state to an authoritarian/military ruled country it might be worth to read travel advice from their foreign office or similar sources. Just fed German foreign office advise to Google: -
Pattaya Police Scan Soi Six to Prevent Underage Workers

Doesn't the report say that nothing was found? Denunciation shooting to the dark? There is a separate thread on checks at Soi 6 but not mentioning the particular case. https://aseannow.com/topic/1291482-pattaya-police-scan-soi-six-to-prevent-underage-workers/ -
Pattaya Police Scan Soi Six to Prevent Underage Workers

In other countries the road would be locked with gates, minors not even allowed to walk down. But here it's a "tourist attraction" and families push the strollers in the evening (like WS). What a laughing stock. Those under 18 are coming from upcountry brothels where they serviced before seeking for better income options.- 62 replies

And which is not required for such routine checks. Easier options. The video is 1:48 min. Too much to watch and understand? -

If you had watched the video you knew that copies or photos on the mobile are sufficient. I have no sympathy for foreigners going out here (particularly the hotspots) without any ID/copy. And I still find it better to have paper copies too. To be cynical: before you fly from the scooter and smash your head against a power pole please have some ID with you. Don't be the unidentified foreigner lying dead on the pavement. I never go out in Pattaya without at least paper copy of passport/"visa"/personal data/contact phone numbers and a business card of the hotel I am staying. I don't tend to be drunk as a skunk and not finding my way back but there are other circumstances where you might become helpless/unconscious. -
I get worse results with WiFi 2.4 GHz (about 50/50). Much seems to depend on the quality of the mobile WiFi, signal strenght etc. Your numbers look good for this kind of connection. Whether you can tweak out more with 5 GHz might also depend on your neighborhood (many WiFi hotspots on the list?)

Quite a mess and haven for ill minded people/criminals. Similarly open at Nong Khai into Laos. You could just walk through. No one would stop you. A mate once thought it would be unnecessary to check in to Laos. Just do some duty free and then drive back over the bridge. No, Thai immigration declined him without a Laos stamp and sent back.

Wow, that's the official name for the Bangna - Chonburi Expressway. You never stop learning.

Indeed. Would be quite a loss.

Maybe you could elaborate what is unreliable about the 3BB speedtest. It's a customized OOKLA speedtest to their test server in Bangkok. For me it gives plausible results any time. Currently 796 / 428. Not the ideal 1000 / 500 but I will surely not complain about it (also as I am not alone on the router). Seems every user has his preferred speedtest. To be able to compare all would need to use the same test to the same location. E.g. OOKLA to "Frontier" Los Angeles: 140 / 81, ping 254 ms

Just tested on my mid range Android phone connected via 5 GHz WiFi (1G/500). Completely ok. Not much to complain.

1 GB / 300 Mbps What does it mean: you have a fiber connection to a 3BB internet switch with that speed. Whether it is somewhat OK is tested by: https://speedtest.3bb.co.th/ It requires a device/PC connected to the router by >cable<. Don't expect anything close to 1GB via WiFi. What you measured are "real life" connections to overseas servers or mirrors in the region (or tested via WiFi on a mobile?). A complete different and hard to compare task. 50/60/70 Mbps is completely ok for any interactive use (streaming video in highest quality e g.). The 1 GB is mainly useful to supply multiple devices/users. For a single user it will rarely make any difference to a slower package.

British tourist smashes up Bangkok 7-Eleven (video)
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Alcohol only? I doubt it. Look how he swings, hits, throws and walks straight out stepping over the rubble. Psycho by nature or drug fueled. Lock up until damage paid and money for return ticket collected. Big red stamp and kiss goodbye.
