Re: Hua Hin To Start Charging For Chatchai Parking From 15 Feb
Where has this been announced? It was in Hua Hin Today - possibly elsewhere, though I only saw it in HHT. The main info, I would say, was the following: The fees for parking near Chatchai Market, which is the main fresh market in the centre of Hua Hua, will range from 5 baht to 20 baht per hour, de...

Re: Post Cataract Operation Care
That is amazing, everything I looked at yesterday was saying no alcohol. Of course, the important thing that I 'should' take notice of is the Hospital after care notice. That most definitely states 2 months. . BB, once you decided to have the cataract surgery, how long did it take for them to sched...

Re: 2-Step verification/authentication (2FA)
Is anyone using this on computers or phones and if so, was there an incident that convinced you to use it? I'm sure like me, you all get reminders from every device ops system and communications app urging you to set it up and use it. I just don't want extra steps in everything I do online making t...

Re: Lotus' Go Hua Na closing down
Are we talking about a cj store as in https://cjstore.in/ ? I'm not familiar with these stores, but they seem to be very specialized in training/nutrition/diet/health. Am I right or wrong? No, nothing to do with that, which seems to be an Indian store. This is a Thai supermarket chain, seemingly ca...

Re: Stars to gather in Hua Hin for Tennis Open
I was trying to find previous Posts/Threads on this (or similar) - has to be many years ago that I remember some top stars playing in HH and another Thread detailing it. Christ, the heat let alone humidity must be a killer - didn't they actually play reduced Sets (3 max)? :cheers: :cheers: They've ...

Re: Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax
Not sure if you caught it in the article, but the proposed 300 Baht tourist tax/levy has been dropped. If you read it, it says it has been sidelined while they look for an alternative so a tax/insurance for foreigners is still on the cards. A 'tax' is just a fee where the government takes money, an...

Re: Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax
Right ... in other words: "you may not get fleeced by our hospitals if you pay our insurance 'tax' beforehand, but you're still just as likely to die on our roads or get shot in a mall but some rogue cop or soldier" ... :duck: Not sure if you caught it in the article, but the proposed 300...

Re: VPN Recommendations and Discussion
I’m hoping not to tempt fate but I’ve had a virtual fault free week of viewing BBC, ITV, Channel 4&5 on both iPad and laptop connected to TV with Nord. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well, as I say, the problems I (and others) seem to be experiencing only appear to affect Amazon Firestick a...

Re: VPN Recommendations and Discussion
I raised a trouble ticket with NordVPN about the problems accessing BBC iPlayer from my Firestick and Android TV devices. The reply I got from them was a bit long-winded but basically said they were aware of the problems on these particular devices, due to multiple user reports and were working on t...

Re: VPN Recommendations and Discussion
Just to say that after my earlier glowing review of NordVPN I've also been having increasing problems, with it, especially with BBC iPlayer in the last week or so. I keep getting more and more error messages on iPlayer that the programme is not available just now but to try again later. However once...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
So again not quite what I had been thinking of but here are a couple of interesting videos where a guy tries to make a Tesla work as a submarine. In the first video he isn't successful as the Tesla still floats despite putting extra weight in. In the second video he does manage to get it pretty much...

OK, couldn't find that article, but I did find this one.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
There's a famous, permanently flooded ford in the UK called Rufford Ford. It's in Nottinghamshire, not so far from where I was brought up. In the nineties, I had a Land Rover and I used to drive through it a couple of times after offroad days to get the mud off. If you watch some of those videos of...
