As long as footy in english, which I think it will be, then I'm happy.

This is one of the areas that concerns me. I haven't signed up yet for CTH, and still waiting for some unexpected shoe to drop. If bangkok blue (who seems very much on top of things), isn't 100% sure the transmission is going to be in English, then where does that leave us dummies ? Watching football without English commentary is worth zero money to me.

I doubt very much that it wouldn't have english commentary, and even if it didn't, as long as you can see the game then theres no problem unless of course that your team has bought so many new players that you don't know what they look like laugh.png

Process of elimination always works for me Alfie !laugh.png

Here on Samui I went to the Astra shop by Tesco to see how much it would cost me The owner of the shop is confident that the new provider of the EPL will have boxes and dishes on the island b4 the new season begins so he told me to wait as the price per month would be 850 maybe he was full of BS but I will give it a couple of weeks It is my belief that there are conditions tied to being awarded to the EPL such as providing all those who want it if this is correct maybe we should all start emailing the EPL to ask what the hell is going on in Thailand !!!!!!!!!

Perhaps you need to find a CTH agent on the island as they will get the boxes first, if there isn't one then god knows what happens !

Both I believe,due to a lack of cabled streets here in Thailand they are offering the service via satellite also,obviously to get a wider customer base.

Some will get it through cable those like me will have to go satellite route.

I'm assuming the channel line up and quality will be the same with both,the only exception being reliability,as with a satellite heavy rain,sun outages etc are common with a temporary loss of transmission,this may not be as prevalent with cable.

I also live on Samui and got my wife who is Thai to phone the number on CTH website ,she spoke to a girl on the phone who has put us on a 15 day waiting list,we were quoted 4258 baht to install satellite and box,966 baht for the first month then 899 baht every month if you are paying monthly,They told us if they don't contact within 15 days to ring again.Dont sound to promising for the start of season but at least they are starting to get their act together.

That is correct. I spoke to nick noble at EPL he said a certain % of the nation must be able to have access. Other conditions include pairing card with box etc... No problem for CTH as its internal encryption.

Well I took the bull by the horns and had the satellite installed for around 4500 baht, however have to wait 3 days for them (CTH) to send a password code to my installer so he can activate the system. No money paid upfront however, which is unusual for Thailand. If you wait for the cable system, you will be waiting for ever, cos I signed up for it on 28th April in Udon and nobody has ever contacted me about it. Not very professional IMHO but hey TIT

Did you book direct with the call centre? It would probably be quicker to try and see if there is a private satellite co. in your area that's been appointed a supplier. That's what many if us up in Chiangmai have done.

Yes they are.

Good stuff.

I echo what Alfie Conn said earlier as long as I have my PL/sports and sky news I couldn't really give 2 hoots about the rest. Will miss CNBC though.

Sounds like a daft question but how is the fox sports news presented? It is similar to sky sports news, a 24 hour news channel, and where is it broadcasted from?

I'm not going to apologise for being optimistic about something, but yea it does look that way doesn't it.

Not holding me breath for the 20th and there seems to be different prices being banded about.

They will get there in the end as they have spent too much money not to make it work, but I fancy there will be a bit more pain on route.

No apology necessary, but these things take time. I think better to give it a few more weeks until they get established. Other than that if still no joy there is always

http://www.vipboxsports.me/ to fall back on. Many HD streams for the EPL.

      Advise sought on second hand PCX or Nmax

      I started looking online, and most bikes are from 2 major second hand sellers. But prices drop like a rock. 2023 registered with ABS and only about 1500km for 60.000 baht. Advertised as first owner, and having full service history, and including 1-year warranty from seller. I assume the 3 year Honda warranty is also still valid. 2024 registered with ABS and only 500km, for 70.000 baht. Again, first owner accident free and warranty from seller. Are these prices realistic, or should I be very wary?

      Abortion

      The abortion scene in LOVE WITH A PROPER STRANGER (1963)- Natalie Wood's attempt to get a backroom abortion is aborted by Steve McQueen, in one of the most moving & frightening scenes dealing with the reality of abortion before Roe vs Wade. Wood was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar® for this film, directed by Robert Mulligan (TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD) and produced by Alan Pakula. No Copyright Infringement Intended. I hope that all will watch this. At least, anyone who is anti-abortion.... Yes. Frightening. This is the best dramatization of this issue. The only problem with this segment is that: No one has the right to refuse any woman an abortion. There should be NO stigma attached. Backroom abortions are an abomination. There is ZERO stigma in Taiwan, for example, just for your info..... This is the way it should be.

      Mike Waltz Warns Hostage-Takers: “Bullet in Your Damn Forehead”

      I tagged you in a post a few hours ago . Don't tell me that you cannot find that !!!!! I have a feeling that you are now just winding me up "Hamas stated how many hostages they are holding and what their condition is and Hamas also state they will find out where all the other hostages are and what their condition is . Hamas released that info just after Trump made his threat That is the first step in resolving the issue and the hostages being freed"

      A Christmas Day bust-up down the 7/11.

      Truth be told.... I actually was forced to sit next to a Russian, today, at the bank. One of the worst experiences of my life. The clothes he was wearing were not enough color-coordinated for my tastes, and this was only one of his many offences. He was not a Dostoevsky, by any means. Now, I know what you guys have been complaining about. Still, this knowledge does not help me to deal with it. In the future, I will never leave my house.

      I'm Non-B Work Extension. Spouse is Non-O Dependent Extension. Convert Non-O Retirement?

      Hoping to tap the forum expertise. As the title says, I arrived 8 years ago on Non-B Visa for employment and have been on 1-year employment extensions ever since with the same company. My spouse arrived on Non-O Visa as a dependent and had tandem 1-yeardependent extensions with me. Early Jan'25 we will go for our 9th 1-year extension at Chamchuri with company visa agent. Chamchuri is the only experience we have had with Thai immigration. However, I am now confirmed that I will complete my employment on 28FEB25. The visa agent will provide me a timeline for work permit cancellation in February, but don't have the firm dates yet. Both my spouse and I come from visa exempt qualified countries. My company, work visa and work permit matters have always been done in Bangkok. We will be in Bangkok for all matters going forward. Both my spouse and I want to migrate to Non-O Retirement. Both of us are over 50yo. Both of us have separate Thai bank accounts opened years ago with deposits exceeding THB800k (but the funds have NOT been transferred from overseas, they are from my Thailand salary account). Both of us have a multi-year contract under both our names for the condo we currently occupy and intend to occupy going forward. As I have been under a BOI company dealing with Chamchuri, we have never had to do a TM30. All 90-day reports are up to date for both of us. Ideally we want to convert from current visas to Non-O Retirement without leaving the country. Besides convenience, my primary driver is that my spouse has just had a knee replacement and she has limited mobility. Question #1: Is there a legal process that can accomplish this? The reason I ask is that I have approached several visa agents and they all reply with vague no-need-to-leave quotations (ranging from THB25 to THB110k per person!), but when I probe details and hear things like "no need to show bank funds" or "no need to come to immigration in person", it tells me that the process they are using is not above board. Honestly I don't want to start my retirement with this kind of process as I have heard many stories about how dodgy processes can lead to rejections in later extensions. IF a legal process exists to convert without leaving the country, I am all ears for the details! Question #2: IF it is absolutely necessary to leave the country, then what is the most efficient way to do so? Worst case I had been provisionally planning to ask the company visa agent to cancel everything on 28FEB25 and request a 7-day extension. Then we would fly to Laos with my spouse and take a 3-day trip to apply for the 90-day non-O Retirement there. However, I now read that the system will change to e-visa and Laos requires payment in person before processing, so using Laos appears too difficult. Question 3: Given the e-visa scheme, is there a nearby country (Cambodia, Malaysia, etc.) for us to apply/pay/get approved in advance (say early February) while we are in Thailand, then once our cancellations are done end February, fly out first week of March to that country and immediately fly back using our pre-approved e-visas? We honestly don't want to fly out, apply and then wait in a hotel for "up to 15 days" for an e-visa to be approved (assuming we are not asked for more paperwork). Question #4: Failing all of the above, what alternative(s) would be advisable? I have really tried to read all past threads on this process. Whilst there are claims that they "know someone who was able to convert in the country", I see no details to support how the process would work (or it seems like some things were done years ago or during COV19 extenuating circumstances). Apologies for the long post, but wanted to add as much detail as possible. Really appreciate any guidance. Kind regards!
