Re: Android box UK

Hi
I nave had an android box in the UK and a VPN is not necessary but advisable. Be advised a VPN will slow the internet access down but will a good connection it is no problem. The boxes can be bought easily on Amazon and Ebay.

Re: Thailand tourist slump continues

Hi all

We arrived back last Sunday, deplaning to having luggage less than 25 minutes. The staff even directing people to empty Thai passport only desks. Very easy and quick.

Re: Monkey sightings in Hua Hin Neighborhoods
