  1. Well. he says it has sentimental value. Maybe inherited? Old model? Or fake?
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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:
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. So they don't take it too serious to check the type of insurance. Good for you.
  11. 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.
  12. As far as I know only Thai Lion Air, two or three flights per week. And far from a "premium" experience.
  13. Thai Smile has a "premium" ("curtain class", "monk class" ) with a bit more comfy seating, better meal/drink service and first at the exit. For Bangkok Airways I can't find premium seating just expensive baggage options etc. And it's an A319, tiny cigar.
  14. How can you go for a nightly beach road walk without a proper timepiece Maybe now there is a good deal for a Rolex at some pawn shop.
  15. And the whole thing was just another headline bubble by BP. Close and forget! Will not come.
  16. Now I regret that I didn't take the chance to meet him (and others from Thaivisa) in Pattaya some years ago. He was just seven years older than me. Such news remind me that every day is a day closer to death.
  17. No. The usual bank simply confirms sole owner of the account/type of and balance. An official proof for foreign transfer is called a foreign exchange transaction form (FET). If the bankbook entry clearly shows a foreign deposit the necessity might be voided.
  18. Construction site safety to the worst. One family loosing the breadwinner. The driver of the silver colored car can call this his lucky day. I should refrain to rural highways
  19. I initiated a WISE transfer on Wed May 3rd. Usually the money is announced to arrive next day. This time it was announced for today May 8th. Will be on the account in the afternoon. So for WISE the whole four day period from May 4th to May 7th was "dead".
