Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Enjoying 3 Body though I feel its a little rushed, whereas the novels were more of an epic saga spanning centuries. Are you talking about Netflix's 3 Body Problem or the Chinese TV adaptation Three-Body ? I suppose that particular criticism is true of the latter also, even though it's far superior ...

Re: The journey to a Yellow Book in Hua Hin
I have been here 18 years and have never needed nor been asked for a Yellow Book or an ID card. My wife is thai and the house is in her name and I have a married visa. The yellow book is extremely handy for proving your address, which is becoming more of a requirement everywhere these days ... unle...

Re: Songkran 2024 Road Accidents
The holiday is so long this year that the "seven dangerous days" should probably be extended to "ten dangerous days" ... either way, its the same carnage we see every year, and nothing will ever change.

Re: Thai police require stricter foreigner screening and monthly case reports
I just get fed up with this stupid witch hunt. Yes, they are not nice, but it is petty crime that you'd most probably find anywhere in the world. Of course its wrong, but why is it national news here? More national news about nothing as the witch hunt continues ... real catchy headline too ... A HA...

Re: Looking For New Tablet
Its to do with your Google account, which is a Thailand one. You need to sign in with a UK-based Google account, and the apps will show up in Play Store. I have two different regional ones on my device for that reason.

Re: Which Mobile Phone?
Some interesting data there, 3.5 years is the average upgrade period, 75% said battery performance was the main criteria, and the older you are, the more likely you are to keep hold of it for longer.

Re: Which Mobile Phone?
No chance of that, offspring snap them up in no time. I don't actually need a new phone at the moment, but my son gets the old perfectly functional one because daddy said no to the 15k device he wanted!

Re: Which Mobile Phone?
The perception that Apple products are far superior to everything else is only held by those who are fanatical about them. "Apple is the world's greatest marketing company," someone once said.

Re: Which Mobile Phone?
I truly am at a loss as to why anyone would pay this kind of money 75,000 baht for a phone is obscene, I wouldn't pay that for a laptop or TV. Fanatical/obsessive is a good descriptor ... the same traits apply to religion. :duck: I'm happy with a $200 phone and I'm a tech-junkie. The brand/logo is ...
