Been digging deeper and it seems harder to get hold of models that are a year or two old here, such as the Poco F5 or X5 (unless you want to take the chance with third-party shops on Laz). The X6 doesn't have enough extra to warrant the 35% price difference, and the Note 13 has slower charging and l...

Spec looks pretty good for the price. I presume you primarily use it for movies when on those long bus trips? You can buy a little adaptor so you can add a thumb drive to it to expand the storage capacity if needed. I've done this with my phone. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/essager-type-c-to-us...

Lung cancer, PM2.5 deaths surge in the North People in northern Thailand, particularly in Chiang Mai and Lampang, face high mortality rates due to lung cancer. The Faculty of Medicine at Chiang Mai University has identified elevated levels of PM2.5 particles in the air as being one of the leading c...

The Rockzone's band "The Answer" was rocking with some great Led Zep covers last night.

Looks like there is a big rock music concert planned for June 1 in Paknampran also ... some big names there ...

Downloading Dune 2 now, cheers.

Watched the new Bob Marley: One Love movie recently. Very good if you're into his music. Jah Rastafari

If you thought it was hot already ... Govt warns of ‘extreme heat’ The government has issued a warning about extreme heat in the coming days and advises people to avoid staying outdoors due to risks of having a heat stroke.

Thailand signs pacts with China on outer space, lunar outposts China and Thailand signed initial pacts on Friday to co-operate on peaceful use of outer space and international lunar research stations, the Chinese space agency said.

Songkran confusion has tourism promoters red-faced The sight of a bewildered Chinese tourist in full Songkran regalia — floral shirt and water gun — has put the government on the defensive, as it seeks to clarify that the main water-splashing festival will take place for three days and not three we...

Been watching a show called 'Travel Man: 48 Hours in...' with Richard Ayoade (who is a bit of a Marmite character). He does short breaks in cities within a couple of hours flight of the UK, plenty of ideas there that I'd never thought of and places I now want to visit. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4...

Yep, maybe the fast chargers are better for the batteries. I've also got into the habit of not letting it drop below 20% and charging to 90%, which may have also prolonged its life. Either way, the Xiaomi batteries are pretty solid. Looked at the X6 Pro, but its more than I want to spend on a phone ...

The 'Thailand news summary' thread should be renamed to the 'dodgy Thai police' thread ... A police lieutenant with the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) in Nonthaburi province has been arrested on charges of assembling air rifles and selling them online. The officer, identified only as Pol Lt...

The media (and politicians) are very good a stirring up nationalism, which is essentially what this is all about. Thais shooting or kicking the crap out of each other every day doesn't instill the same reaction as 'nasty aliens'. I'm just happy this has all been limited to Phuket and the islands so ...

Whilst on the subject of phones ... Three years is my benchmark for keeping a phone but they sometimes clap out before then (the Samsungs I have had did anyway). Have currently had the Xiaomi POCO X3 NFC for just over three years. It is still going strong, the camera is superb, and the battery (usua...

I don't completely agree with this. Especially for phones. When Samsung for example, releases their new phones the price in MV is more or less the same as all over Thailand. As a matter of fact Samsung on Lazada is more often more expensive than other shops. For phones which has been a while in the...
