I have a TOT internet connection at my condo on which I run my laptop and also a TV set top box for watching sport etc. Over the past few months I've had to complain to TOT about slow loading pages on my laptop and TV programmes freezing. This has been getting worse lately and after viewing a thread on another forum and talking to the provider of my set top box who says he has many complaining customers, about bad TOT connection in the Jomtien area, I decided to call 1100 which is TOT's help line. They got a technician to call me and I knew who he was from previous interactions. He speaks very

Right now I'm sat in a restaurant next to an ignorant farang who's playing youtube or such like at a volume every customer can hear in German language. Waitress too polite to tell him to switch it off. Usually it's the Russians who do this.

It seems that Grab food (or other) deliveries are getting more and more popular. This is now causing a problem on the roads. Driving in the Pattaya area I am constantly "buzzed" by Grab motorbike drivers who are always in a hurry to get their deliveries to the customer. Surely it's only a matter of time before there's a serious accident caused by these morons. Hopefully the police will realize that there's a problem and put the brakes on.

Among a plethora of my pet peeves are 1) farangs who insist on saying "soya" instead of "soi". 2) farangs who insist on saying JoNtieM instead of "JoMtieN" 3) Thais who are totally ignorant of their own personal space. 4) Thais who always park a motorbike across an entrance or in a gap where they are blocking passage for pedestrians.

I have a FCD account with Bangkok Bank in Jomtien and also a FCD account with Siam Commercial Bank in Jomtien. Both are GBP accounts. The Bangkok Bank account took about a week to get opened but the SCB account was opened immediately for me. I am certainly able to use the funds therein to qualify for my retirement extension.

Jeez!! Do you really expect readers to comprehend that post?

Illegal in Thailand?

I had been using AdBlock Plus on thaivisa.com (as I do also on this site), and got totally p'd off after I had to switch it off and the ads were loading so slowly that the web pages were jumping about, and almost unreadable. After a fair bit of research I found a way to put a custom filter code in AdBlock plus and for me now the ads aren't loading and I can read the website comfortably. Unfortunately the person who gave me the code swore me to secrecy because he feared both he and I getting banned from thaivisa. (Yes, unclebuck, the mods are a bunch of morons/pussies). Maybe Google searching m

Maybe they'll stop off in BKK on this route soon. Be good for the Brits here.

I saw a dog leg on the golf course. Maybe that's what happens to them.

It's a good idea to ask your prospective neighbours which internet Company they use and are they happy with the service. Different areas may vary. Then take a trip to your chosen provider's office and ask about packages to suit your circumstances.

Does anybody know where to find live streaming of the Australian Big Bash League. I have an android TV box but cannot find an app which shows it.

Thaivisa has just lost me as a member. First, the stupid adblock pop up, and now thaivisa radio 2 isn't working via the internet once again. Pity, because I used to read the forums every morning whilst listening to their radio streaming. I've now joined teakdoor.com for all my reading and will use 103FM for my radio streaming. Their moderators seem to think they are Gods almighty, but they are obviously little Hitlers hiding behind their computer screens.

Thanks for that,forcebewithu. I have just watched the video. However, it doesn't address the issue of a housemaster who ,like me now, goes abroad on holiday, then returns to his rented condo. That is, unless, as stated at the beginning of the video, the housemaster is already registered by way of his last 90 day report. Am I correct with that, and do I therefore assume that I don't need to report to immi on my return?

I can't get that link to work

I can't see the link on my tablet. Would somebody please post it again. I'm currently on holiday in The Gambia and would like to know if I need to report the day after I return next month. I'm on a retirement extension and rent my condo if that would help someone to guide me. Thanks.

If I remember correctly, the prices are all + vat + service. However, it's an extremely good buffet, and if lamb has been added recently, even better.

Bumrungrad and health insurance spells expensive! I'm aware of that but it didn't cost me a baht and I got the best treatment.

I had this surgery done on my right knee about 7 years ago at Bumrungrad hospital, Bangkok. My insurance paid, but from memory was about 170,000 baht. The doctor's name was Dr. Mason Porramatikul and he was recommended both on Thaivisa.com health forum where the experts say he is the best in Thailand, and by a friend. After the operation I gave up walking for exercise and bought a bicycle which gives me non-impact (with the ground) exercise. My knee now feels completely normal, but I have had the occasional twinge over the post op period. One night stay in the hospital then set free with a pai

What is the app? Have I missed something?

Cav vs Kittel again today methinks.

I don't think Sunday's stage has the finish for Cav. Greg vanAvermaet is my pick today.

Well, Kittel 2nd. but fantastic Cav pipped him. I'm so pleased for Cav. A great Brit.

Can't see anyone beating Kittel today. I think Cav has had his day now and I don't think his lead out team are strong enough. Etixx were good for him. Hope I'm wrong though.
