Lightening strike v Air Con.
Lightning is a varying electric current and does exactly what we expect from varying electric currents, it produces EM waves. These waves can be detected many kilometres from the source. Inverter type air conditioners that are not correctly grounded will be more susceptible to damage from spikes on the supply line. Its quite common for Thai installers to not ground outdoor units which later gets picked up during warranty claims. -

I Love Donald Trump
Anyone paying attention to the history of the convicted felon would be shocked if Trump did think a Mexican's life had the value of a white American. Come one people, you know he's a racist. Be honest. -

Samsung repairs / after sales service
No one is victim blaming. You are however having a hissy fit over nothing. You paid 10,000 baht for an entry level 50" TV. In 1985, a 20 inch TV cost 40,000 baht+ and did not offer anywhere near the features on the current base TV models. Samsung manufactures most of its Thai market mobile phones in Thailand. The recent quality phone issues are specific to Thailand manufacturing issues. The Samsung televisions sold in Thailand are mostly sourced from Vietnam and there are few quality issues reported on the products. Because someone on a youtube channel offers an opinion that there is an issue with a Samsung TV component does not make it a fact. Hundreds of thousands of Samsung Televisions are sold in Thailand and relatively few manufacturing defects are reported. When they are, they typically show up within the first 90 days of use. Yes, you may have a dud or a product that had an issue before its time. However, you do not know if your TV was subject to a power surge or an incident when you were not around. You are angry because your relatively inexpensive Television is no longer in warranty. You have an unreasonable expectation when you froth over the refusal to provide warranty service. You are upset that the service has an estimated min, cost of 6,000 baht/USD 175 /137 Pound/ AUD 268/ EURO 165 Euro. Seriously, get a grip. That's nothing. This is the reality of consumer electronics. In respect to internet speeds, yes Thailand reports some high speed capability. The reality though is that the speeds are actually averages and consumers do not obtain the advertised high speeds. Outside of urban areas with their government hubs and universities, the broadband speeds are much, much lower on a daily consistency basis than is stated. The current Thai average is running below 250 mbps and reflects the impact of the high speed clusters. https://www.speedtest.net/global-index/thailand 250 is still excellent, but it is not 1000mbps. In order to have the fastest internet speeds, one must connect to a fiber optic system and presently, less than 25% of Thailand is located within 10 km of such a system, and those that do have access are in the larger urban centers. Yes, it is unfortunate your TV broke down, but getting upset over a relatively small repair expense serves no purpose.. It's a minor expense and the cost of having consumer convenience.
