Re: The i-things - Apple devices and software thread
It’s not clear to me why this post was moved to this thread. It’s not an Apple thing, it affects anyone who has a WiFi router which is probably most of us. Three reasons - it doesn't warrant its own dedicated thread, involves Apple tech, and will likely turn into another discussion about Apple (as ...

Re: Thailand changes visa rules to boost economy urgently
"Boosting the economy" means hunting for more money from foreigners so "easing" is the wrong word as these changes are likely to increase costs/difficulty for those wanting to live here. Edit: retirees are here permanently anyway, so there are no financial incentives to give them...

Re: HD Prime Internet TV ... problem?
But I am confused (easily done) about this, now I have a VPN, does it work on the whole computer, or just the browser that I used to install it. I guess there is an idiots proof guide out there somewhere but I have yet to find it! If it is a browser add-on, it will only work for that browser. If it...

Re: Mobile SIM Registration Name Must Match Mobile Banking Name
Banking is going to get so much harder (read: impossible) for foreigners here when they implement and enforce the National Digital ID (NDID), which is designed to be linked to bank accounts so they can track financial activity. Edit: though I think this move is part of a wider crackdown on call-cent...

Re: Renewing a UK passport in Thailand
Finally got the new passport back after almost two months - no idea what the delay was for.
Used Hua Hin Visa Services on soi 94. Planned to use Anna but in a very typically Thai way, there are two identical businesses next to each other so I went in the wrong office!

You need a permit to fart in this country, so I can't see another piece of paper making a difference to availability.

Re: Thailand's coral at immediate risk from rising sea temperature, expert warns
Yes, when the coral is gone, its gone. When we moved to Bangsaphan around 15 years ago, there was prolific coral and marine life at Koh Talu. Now ... nada.
