What is your go to provider for porting Skype?
I used Skype for calls to family members, banks and government departments in the US and had both an annual calling subscription and a Skype-in number. The annual cost was $70. I have replaced it with Phone2 by paying a one-time fee of $99. For that fee I can call numbers in the US without additional charge and I also received a new US number for incoming calls. I could have ported my Skype-in number, but did not see the need. So far, the Phone2 call quality has been very good. I don't use it for 2FA, so can't comment on whether it would work with banks. For a while I was receiving several telemarketing calls every night on the new US number, usually between 9 pm and 5 am. Most of the calls were companies trying to sell Medicare Advantage plans or similar. Once I registered the number with the Federal do-not-call list, the calls stopped completely. I don't know why I never received such calls on my Skype-in number. One service that Phone2 does not provide for personal accounts is outgoing SMS messaging, but I have no need for that at present. -

Immigration Thailand Digital Arrival Card. TDAC
I am in the same situation. I travel by road to hospital in Khon Kaen on Sunday 4th May via the O'Smach - Sisaket land crossing. I shall plead ignorance and if I am refused then I will discuss the need for urgent medical treatment. I only have an old 3G mobile. This crossing is usually quiet with mainly local Cambodian and Thai travelers. Maybe they still have a collection of old TM6 forms available. Recently, I travelled to the same hospital but travelling with Air Asia from Siem Reap to/from Khon Kaen. Thai Immigration in Bangkok (DMK) were brilliant. Being in a wheelchair, I was kept clear of all the channels with passengers queueing and was taken to the DIPLOMAT- VIP channel and processed in a couple of minutes. I was the the sole traveler who was then ushered to the right of the Diplomat channel to a hidden lift within the Immigration Admin and rest area and taken to the ground floor. Thankyou Air Asia and Thai Immigration - first class service! -

Dow Headed for Worst April Since 1932 - Always Winning: Tired of Winning!
He keeps caving because things don't work out OR it was planned from the beginning. Neither can be proven though, so no need to be so sure of yourself. It's just as likely that he planned several steps ahead. And there's no proof that he did or didn't. -

Economy DIT Urges Stability in Pork Prices Amid Supply Challenges
Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post The Department of Internal Trade (DIT) has called on retail and wholesale stores to maintain stable pork prices despite recent supply constraints. DIT Director General Wittayakorn Maneenetr highlighted that consultations with the Department of Livestock Development and the Swine Raisers Association of Thailand have revealed a decrease in pig availability due to extreme heat conditions impacting their growth rates. Currently, around 60,000 pigs are available daily, meeting domestic needs. However, the intense heat since late March has caused pigs to gain less weight pre-slaughter, impacting supply. Additionally, farmers face rising costs in electricity and water to manage farm temperatures and address these challenges. For now, live pig prices at the farm-gate level remain steady at 88 baht per kilogramme, while retail pork prices vary from 72.30 baht to 133.94 baht per kilogramme, depending on the region and cut. It is anticipated that prices might ease with the cooler, rainy season which aligns with the production cycle. Wittayakorn stated that the DIT has engaged with stores to ensure they keep pork prices stable. If there are plans to raise prices, stores must inform the DIT and provide justifications. The department will collaborate with major producers to keep costs in check, aiming to shield consumers from undue impacts. "The DIT is committed to ensuring pork remains accessible for consumers," Wittayakorn explained. "Price increases must be assessed, and provincial offices will actively monitor market pricing." To assist consumers, the DIT continues to offer pork at reduced prices during Blue Flag events in Bangkok and other provinces. They keenly monitor both pig and pork prices and encourage reports of unfair pricing through their hotline, 1569. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-04-23 -
