Re: Agoda hotel descriptions/prices warning
Yes, I thought that, but asking me to transfer cash to an individual's account? Quite right, it looks like their domain has been compromised and someone's set up a fake mail server address in the DNS records. The mail user name is an obvious flag and you should not have replied (as buksida says). Y...

Re: Agoda hotel descriptions/prices warning
Interesting. The high level domain booking.com is definitely valid and could be used by Agoda (being same group as booking.com).

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: Thai police require stricter foreigner screening and monthly case reports
^^ This sort of thing is national news every day even when only Thais are involved. Unlike in UK, politics and scandal are glossed over because, well, defamation. This just leaves road accidents, petty crime (unless a really serious crime takes over the headlines), naughty monks and what is someone ...

Re: The journey to a Yellow Book in Hua Hin
@GeorgieGirl An agent can probably help with getting documentation translated and certified (passports mainly). You'll also need transliterations of your parents' names. You will also need a copy (maybe the original?) of the residence blue book, and your landlord's (if you're renting) id card. As fo...

Re: Songkran 2024 Road Accidents
There's also the counting method; killed on the spot or dies later in hospital. I don't think we ever hear or see anything published about the latter. Also, motorcycles seem to be the star of the show once again and always. According to thairsc.com 62 people died on the roads yesterday. 2,264 were ...

Re: Songkran to become 1 month festival
The mayor has actually admitted that the water stoppages are in order to redirect water supply for 'Songkran' festivities! Hua Hin’s water management authorities have said there will be a temporary suspension of the water supply from the Khao Laeng Water Production Plant. The suspension, aimed at r...

Re: Which Mobile Phone?
We were in a doughnut shop yesterday and the shop assistant's husband/boyfriend, a Lineman rider, was also there. He'd just bought a brand new folding screen phone and was busy applying the screen protectors on the outside. Too expensive for me, I thought. How could they afford it? Or, why? I didn't...

Re: Decommissioning a device
Thank you, that's great advice regarding the tablet. I have no worries regarding the new owner, but its extended family that I don't trust. With the lappie, that sounds like something Mr. Don could do for a few Baht. The laptop was actually recovered as it was being thrown out about 6 years ago. My...

Re: Looking For New Tablet
OK, the beastie arrived just after 12. Did the video of it being unpacked. FFS, it came in 3 boxes - I thought I'd bought a tablet from IKEA. 1 box for the tablet 1 box for the case 1 box for the free gift (a travel flask and 2 cups :? ) Initial thoughts were utter disappointment. I presumed that e...
