This happens every time there is a hike, punish the petrol users to try and keep diesel down. We've stopped using the state-owned PTT stations following reports of skimming on fills and lower-grade fuels. They keep their market share due to the monopoly on the 7-Elevens, and Thais love their 7-Eleve...

You should always perform the factory reset before handing over or dumping any mobile devices. If she's nice (and doesn't want to hack your bank accounts) maybe you can instruct her how to do it. It would also be better for her not to have all your settings, accounts, and apps on it and have a clean...

Carabao owns CJ, and they're in direct competition with CP/Chang/Singh, which is a good thing. I was told that they're running a promo on their beers for Songkran. Still a shame that the small breweries have to charge so much for their products and availability is limited due to the monopolies' cont...

PM scotches '21 days of water fights' rumours The Tourism and Sports Ministry has been instructed by Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin to clear up public misunderstanding over the duration of this year's Songkran festival.

Prachuap Khiri Khan: The Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives aims to make the Singkhon border crossing in Muang district a permanent checkpoint between Thailand and Myanmar to improve the transporting and trading of farm products, including fisheries goods. Minister Thamanat Prompow said that a...

Yep, I also need a headphone jack for plugging the phone into an amp and playing music when Bluetooth speakers won't cut it. Other essentials that are being phased out are a dedicated microSD card slot which the higher end models don't have. There was very little difference between the one I ordered...

Got the regular "mai mee" in MV when asking about POCO phones. Even though it is the same company, the Xiaomi shop doesn't sell them so ordered online through the official store on Laz. Impressive that you can get 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage on a mid-range phone as standard these da...

I'm amazed that if it needs a bespoke charger and won't work with a standard one ... why didn't it come with one? As you say, very Applesque

Watched the first episode of 3 Body yesterday, and it is loosely based on the narrative in the trilogy's first book, though the order of events is a little mixed up. However, the characters are way younger and way better looking which has probably been done to keep the attention span of the Millenni...

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
