NACC criticised for redacted Prawit watch case report
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A German saying translates like: turn the goat into a gardener. Or install a a toothless tiger named NACC. Big joke seems on the right path. -
Oxygen Tank Explosion in Bangkok Kills One and Wrecks House
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
"body torn in half" as the article says 🤯 Wonder what an exact cause is here. -
Why True Fiber is so slow connecting abroad?
KhunBENQ replied to artotle's topic in IT and Computers
The only news about SEA-ME-WE 5 come from the country most affected (Bangladesh). Due to this article the repair is not finished. First week of June is expected. Article from 23 May: https://digibanglatech.news/english/bangladesh-english/131954/ -
Shingrix (shingles vaccine) available in Thailand now
KhunBENQ replied to Polar Bear's topic in Health and Medicine
For some reason the topic came to my mind yesterday. I did some search for Shingrix ind Khon Kaen. Found Ratchaphruek Hospital for 6300/shot. Guess there will be additional fees. Khon Kaen RAM offers a single shot for 5000 (SKYZoster?) which seems less recommended. For Bangkok Hospital here I can not find any clear statement. Is there any chance that a public district hospital orders the vaccine on demand(deposit)? -
What are some options for parking in Bangkok?
KhunBENQ replied to Querentino_Spaghettino's topic in Bangkok
Parking just anywhere in Bangkok? Not a vague idea about the area or distance from his apartment that is acceptable? Where would that be? Or is it long term parking? -

Thailand Lowers Flags to Half-Mast for President Raisi
KhunBENQ replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I miss the times when news here offered a source. Tried to find to no avail. Some posters forget that there is a higher instance who could order such measures. -
Pattaya City Officials Subdue Agitated Foreigner
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Read the full article. These summaries always miss important facts. Also the pictures are worth Found a shirt, hugging a policeman and driving off on a bike. Peacefully settled. Maybe the cannabis has kicked in -
Why you shouldnt carry cash in Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to CharlieH's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
I didn't even read through the whole ad but traveler checks is a complete joke. -
Why you shouldnt carry cash in Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to CharlieH's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
I am the one who always finds that queue 5 minutes is reality. A couple doing misc attempts on her phone, then doing misc attempts on his phone. Finally giving up and organizing the enormous amount of 4xx Baht in cash. Which ends with the cashier calling the supervisor to clean up the mess. Smaller events again and again. Cashier is ready, amount on display. What now? Where is my phone? Digging, where is the banking app? Swipe swipe swipe... (and I silently repeat the mantra: never loose temper/face in Thailand, keep calm). I use cashless where it's appropriate. Paid 2xxk hospital, paid 6xxk final payment for new car. Pay utilities online, no cash on delivery at Lazada et.al. But not my snacks at 7/11!- 135 replies

Singapore Airline Emergency Landing - 1 fatality
KhunBENQ replied to ExpatOilWorker's topic in Suvarnabhumi Airport Forum
Your thread seems the first and unnoticed but now in the news. -
From the meager information collected there is no reason to assume that you need a new laptop. Seems fast enough for personal use. A complete re installation is generally a good idea but plan carefully about the consequences and preparation. Data lost? What programs to reinstall? Not an easy decision.

Acer Aspire E15 is has an i5 CPU and 8 GB RAM. Edge is a browser from Microsoft not an operating system. So it runs some Windows version. 10 or 11?

I would not be surprised if the whole plane has to be written off due to structural damage? -

What is the difference between 95 and 97 petrol?
KhunBENQ replied to Conan The Barbarian's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Shell doesn't show 97 on their price list. And their V Power is just 95 E10 with magic additives. https://www.shell.co.th/en_th/motorists/shell-fuels/shell-fuel-prices.html -
I don't believe the Global Obesity Observatory
KhunBENQ replied to Furioso's topic in Health and Medicine
So do observations differ To me it looks quite the contrary for the adult population. It's less about physical exercise but more about junk food, super sweet drinks. My neighbor opposite is 82! years old and works alone in his sugar and rice fields daily in the torching heat. He will never get fat. Other males opposite you could count their rips. The younger generation is a different matter. Spoilt by junk food AND no exercise. -

KhunBENQ replied to Furioso's topic in Health and Medicine
You were quicker. Up here the elderly commons (50+) are rarely obese. No donuts, no Oreo and similar, no coke and other liquid sugar bombs, no pizza, no KFC, no bubble tea, .... Sticky rice is the only thing they could get obese from. It's a question of age and location. Sure the under 30s in the wealthy places might well be more than 12% obese. Reasons see above. -

Thailand Aims to Become Leading Aviation Hub in Asia
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Rival Dubai. What a laughable self-assesment. And don't they have a world map (better globe) and compare the geography?
