Re: 1 Year in Thailand

HHfarang....I have been a frequent traveller to the US for many years, and I have to say I feel it's a very dangerous place to be.....too many idiots with guns is scary. Add to that, the racial tensions that exist there, and you have a boiling pot that spills over all too frequently. I feel much, mu...

Re: Koh Nang Yuan

Koh Tao is a short boat ride away but whereas that was once my favorite island in Thailand I will now never go back. Why is that? could be because of this? http://huahinforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=28116&hilit=British+tourists+murdered#p360936 I too, will never go back there and actively ...

Re: VCR Tape to DVD or Digital media

J.J.B....many thanks for the info. I was hoping that since the player MB was describing was both a VCR player & DVD recorder, that recording from the VCR to DVD would be straightforward. The VCR tape I have, played fine on an English bought VCR player (Sony I think it was)......although the tape...

Re: VCR Tape to DVD or Digital media

Something like this: http://www.lazada.co.th/usb-easycap-video-tv-dvd-vhs-audio-capture-adapter-black-2941423.html would be a fairly cheap thing to try. Or is the tape player the problem? Many thanks for the suggestion......490Bht is very reasonable. As you say, just need a VCR player...I'm sure I ...

Re: VCR Tape to DVD or Digital media

^^ From 2007, might as well be ancient history :). The OP might have to do it himself. He will need a PC, a VHS player (Betamax ???) and a TV capture card or USB TV capture dongle that can take the output from the VHS tape player and cable. Seen any VHS recorder/players for sale recently? Many than...

Dear all,

Re: Can you help me set up my home music and movies?

Hello, is there anyone out there with the expertise and time to take on a paid project to get my AV system up and running, or can you recommend anyone for this? I need to connect up the following units but embarrassingly I'm right down at the Fisher Price level of technology and I don't know where ...

Re: Windows 10 Developments

I have a Microsoft Surface Book....i7, 16GB ram, 512GB solid state drive.
It boots from a cold start to a fully loaded desktop (I use windows hello....facial recognition) in under 15secs.
The last Win 10 update (KB 3194496) took about 15mins.
It, and Win 10 runs like a dream.

Re: So... I'm Moving Back to England

UK is a great place to live. Thailand is also a great place to live. Good luck to those who decide to leave Thailand because they don't like it anymore. What I don't understand is those who choose to stay here but constantly complain about Thai people not liking them. Maybe it is because you are al...

Re: Thailand Constitutional Referendum

There is also the small point that a rejection of the draft constitution would have prolonged the delay to an election by at least a year whilst another draft was prepared so some voters might have considered it better to move forwards towards an election in any form rather than stand still.

Re: Foreign pedestrian killed in road accident outside market village

On demand pedestrian crossing lights would be good.......but would need a fulltime policeman or 2 on either side of the crossing to enforce the morons to stop.
And for the BIB who might be reading this post......just think how much money you could make from the fines for the idiots that don't stop!
