Buddhist date in google search results
KhunBENQ replied to HermosaBeachGuy's topic in IT and Computers
Got it! Chrome has a well hidden own region setting (independent from Windows ) which by default is set to actual region. You can set it to your preferred region(country). -

Indeed Brave becomes more and more interesting. I always use it to watch youtube videos without promotion clips inserted. Now also the annoying "cookie accepts" gone. -

A typical cell info display (nicely pixelated). DTAC is SIM2, bad signal but still good enough for 15 Mbit/s download. AIS is SIM1 for phone, SMS etc. Would be surprised if the signal(s) in Jomtien not be better.

Bit late on the thread and maybe mentioned more than once. Location and signal strenght is the decisive factor. As you use a mobile phone you are dependent of the quality of the phone in terms of signal reception. Particularly upload speed can go down dramatically (which makes video call etc. a PITA). Likely all phones have a feature hidden somewhere in phone, SIM, status.. to show signal strenght. values from -90 dBm down are bad. At about -115 dBm connection fails completely at my phone. If you can't find the feature on the phone install an app like: "Network Cell Info Lite" (for Android, don't know about iOs)

Use Brave browser ???? Seriously: just found that Chrome shows B.E. while brave shows A.D. So it seems Chrome related. Or does my Brave browser use a different search engine. Will have to check -
FIFA World Cup 2022: Qatar bans beer sales at all stadiums
KhunBENQ replied to Scott's topic in World News
The farce started when they planned this as usual for July. Only after making the deal Blatter and his mafia gang had to admit that it is frigging hot in Qatar (ignoring all warnings). That happens if you are carted around in AC cooled limos. Total ignorance. Maybe not too well known: former FIFA boss Blatter as well as his successor Infantino come from the same south alpine Swiss canton of Valais which has a bit of a reputation like Sicily ???? -
FIFA World Cup 2022: Qatar bans beer sales at all stadiums
KhunBENQ replied to Scott's topic in World News
Nice a.s kick for a major sponsor. Hope this rotten FIFA, corrupt to the bones will get more of that. Massive boycott of merchandise goods. And hopefully all major favorites blown away in first round. Final with Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Would be a blockbuster. What's next? FIS organizing downhill ski in Saudi Arabia because it's good for the purse? -
Forget to mention to the OP. Of course children, grand children and close relatives are the first in row to pay. Foreigner can donate depending.

Why many bikes have no Green Book?
KhunBENQ replied to canerandagio's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
No book, no buy. Don't pay in full before your name is in the book updated by the DLT office. If the seller does not agree walk on. -
Christmas magic in Pattaya? Go to the mall and enjoy the plastic trees and plastic decorations? Jingle bells, White Christmas, Rudolf..., Feliz Navidad etc. etc. basically 24/7 from some squeaky speakers. Clerks in convenience stores/malls and bar girls with funny Santa hats? Drives me insane. As others wrote: look for Christmas dinner of your choice/nationality. But that's it. Don't forget that there is no public holidays for Christmas. Business as usual.

Neighbor bought his basic Honda Wave to ride out to the fields. Never bothered to register. -
That's for the no status farang. No face to save.

As others wrote: total cost depends much on the status of the family and the deceased. How many guests invited? Cheap food and drinks or better quality? Cremation without party is a complete disgrace (for homeless, criminals). Spanning over three day event in certain stages is usual. 50k for a start but 200k is still not excessive. And yes, part of the cost will be covered by some community "insurance". There is a minimum amount per household (100?) but again depending on the status of the donors it will be 500 and more. So make sure you are not just presented with total cost but doing the summation. In a way you are just a big donor.

Border hop to Laos (no visa)

At the land border I had no problem. Have no experience with flying. But unlikely different. -
Motorcyclist breaks neck after hitting kerb on Friendship Highway

Indian tourist get BIG surprise on Beach road.
KhunBENQ replied to Social Media's topic in Pattaya News
The important details are missing Hotel on Soi 8. I have an idea which one it is. A constant stream of Indians walking down to beach from there. The katoeys must have a great time. Lots and lots of complete newbies to rip off. Not those "know it all farangs" -
Heavy rain forecast for Bangkok and surrounding provinces next week
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
And up here we get the leftovers Forecasts show some rain for the same time. -
Let's hope so. There has actually quite a number of power cable burying taken place. Was surprised to see many high voltage lines going underground (no overhead transformers). On Naklua Rd, at BigC Extra and others. In Walking Street you see housings with meters for voltage/current. Did I still see overhead transformers? I don't think so. These beasts were always dangerous. Once a music club burnt down by a transformer explosion.

Both true and in Pattaya City some cleanup had been done. I have seen that and taken some pictures. So if they want they can find the unused cables. It's just lazyness and not bringing profit. But these are communication cables. The loops are fiber optic cable. Should not result in such fire. There must have been some real power/transformer involved. This little fire can not match the spectacle taken place some weeks ago at 2nd rd, Soi 15 ????
