Hope it helps!

Additionally, Apple does make it a point to not preload 3rd party apps so the apps you mentioned like Facebook and all do not come with a clean phone reset. This makes it easy to run a really lean phone setup with just the apps you need.

Here's an interesting thing. I happen to also have a working iphone 6 and am currently setting it up to be my phone while in Thailand. I have been able to set it up and even managed to download the latest versions of some apps like Grab, Shopee TH, google maps, inDriver, Gmail, Chrome etc so it shou...

I would add that for the security aspect, it is also dependent on the Apps and their updates. Quite a number of app developers may have made it so that their most recent app versions (which should be the most secure to date) only runs on more modern iOS versions. Thus, being stuck at iOS version 12....

Hi VincentD, Thanks for chiming in! It really does help to hear other people's perspectives and I fully appreciate the sharing. I'm definitely heading over as a holiday / exploratory trip for now, and checking it out for the family situation. Thanks for the insight on medical expenses too, something...

Yes, I considered that one, thank you. Even started downloading, but the download was taking forever - forecast 4 days +. When I saw the download forecast, combined with 4Mb in about 30 minutes, I cancelled the download. Wow! Is there the norm when it comes to internet download speeds, and speeds i...

Here's one option that could kill two birds with one stone: http://www.codecguide.com/download_k-lite_codec_pack_full.htm A media codec package that packs as much support for playback and even encoding in one installation. Hopefully it'll solve everything in one go. And if not, it does come with thi...

I was sourcing around for online sample files as well, just to ensure that we can test your VLC's all set up well for it. I used the following site's : https://samplelib.com/sample-mp4.html And my VLC was able playback and get the media's info as such : Screenshot 2022-02-02 at 9.09.51 AM.png Maybe ...

Or, if it's not going to be a security issue, the make and model of the camera? The internet might provide the required tech spec, manual, and hopefully video output specs to clue us in on what it's outputting.

Not sure if this is a good suggestion, but perhaps you could record a short clip and attach it here as a sample so that people can test with their possible solutions? at least it can help validate what works with your specific source. (I might be able to help, being something of a digital media geek...

I'm a Singaporean that's looking for something outside of our "bubble". Growing up in Singapore has provided me with a wonderful environment, as you've mentioned earlier, but I understand that there's a lot more to the world and the people living in it than what is represented here. After ...

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! And really appreciate the quick thoughts and sharing. I'll definitely take it all to heart.

Most likely going to start my first explorative trip around March.

Whoops, should I have read this first before posting my intro in the Hua Hin forums?

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum, and to the Hua Hin area in general. The last time I was in Thailand with my family was in 2018 and we had a fantastic time at Khao Yai! Doing lots of reading now and finding a great treasure trove of information and knowledge here... family's exploring the possibil...
