Re: Buying a new smart TV
Couldn't be easier, the Hisense runs on pure Android so go into Google Play, search for VLC, and install it - exactly the same procedure as on a phone. I can also use my phone to install apps on the TV since I used the same Gmail account on both! I also installed Express VPN with the hopes of getti...

Re: Crossing Lights Out by Blueport and Bangkok Hospital
I once stopped at the Bangkok Hospital traffic lights as they were red. A police motorcycle came along side me and told me to drive on through the red lights. The main problem with the Bangkok Hospital lights (IMHO) is the ridiculously short delay between them going red again after people have cros...

Re: Why Thai’s “back in”?
Not sure about other countries but in the UK it is illegal to reverse onto a road. :cheers: Only from a side road into a main road - not from your own driveway, at least according to the extracts from the Highway Code that have been quoted. Rule 201 [...] When using a driveway, reverse in and drive...

Re: Thailand Football
For anybody wanting to watch the first leg of tonight's Vietnam vs Thailand AFF Cup Final, it seems as though Vietnam's VTV5 will be streaming live, with no need for VPN. Tried VTV5. Getting an error message, translated by Google Translate as: "The number of viewers is too large. Please try ag...

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread
If my report day is today the 10th then is my last report date 16 or 17? As IMO it could be argued as either TIA Sent from my M2007J20CG using Tapatalk Just FWIW, the one and only time I was "late" reporting (I was one day late because the due date fell on a Sunday) I was been given a ste...

Re: Electric Cars
The only point I’d question is the last one - there is little evidence so far that battery packs last decades - they might indeed, but there aren’t enough EV cars older than 10 years to substantiate that part of the claim - everything else is probably correct. There is evidence from testing carried...

Re: Thai passport renewal ... 10 years?
Probably the wrong thread, but once it leaves my person in Thailand, what checks are they actually doing? Surely, that is all done by the authorities before bit commences it's 3 month journey. Pure conjecture but I would think that if you're just doing a simple renewal, one thing they would do is t...

Re: Fifa 2022 World Cup Qatar
This is the explanation given online: The opening goal was ruled out after Pervis Estupinan swung a free-kick into the box. Michael Estrada’s right boot was offside after the ball came off Felix Torres, who was challenging Qatar goalkeeper Saad Al Sheeb. Estrada then headed it back to Torres, who p...

Re: Fifa 2022 World Cup Qatar
Thai TV would have been much better viewing for the HD Quality, but English commentary more than compensated. Just saw this comment from you, BB. On the True Channels True Sports 2 and True 4U, there was dual language commentary available - at least on my True Visions set top box. Not sure if you'd...

Re: Fifa 2022 World Cup Qatar
I checked to see if I could use BBC iPlayer with a VPN (I use NordVPN) before the England game started and it was OK-ish. There was no buffering, but the quality didn't seem to be quite as good as on True Sports 2. I did switch over to BBC at half time and after the game to watch the analysis and ag...

Re: Fifa 2022 World Cup Qatar
All the games I've seen so far, I watched on True Sports 2. They were also on the True 4U channel. Not 100% sure, but I think all the games will be on those 2 channels. I'm not sure that TS2 is free to air for everyone but I think T4U is. There's a full schedule showing which other Thai channels (a ...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
SAS Rogue Heroes (iPlayer) A BBC drama about the creation of the SAS in North Africa during WW2. Not a docudrama, just a drama closely based on actual events. How closely, I don't know, but it would be nice to think that it wasn't too far from the truth. Just started ep 2 (of 6) and I'm thoroughly ...
