  1. I'm excited about Fear the Walikg Dead. It's the spinoff series of the walking dead and it premieres on August 23 in the states so it will be available on Kodi and bit torrents August 24 here.

  2. Downloaded, but, haven't watched, yet.

    May delete it if I need the room.

    Waiting for the 1st July to download episode 2 of Mr. Robot. Looks like a very promising series.

    This is an interesting series. I am beginning to wonder if Christian Slater ( mr robot ) may be a figment of the main characters imagination something like fight club.

  4. I have the original "SE" lifetime visa which requires me to extend every 90 days at Changewattana. Years ago this used to be ok as the extension was processed at the diplomat section so you would be in and out in 30 minutes to 1 hour. Some time ago they expanded the processing section to include student Visa's and now it take a whole day of waiting to get your extension which is a real drag.

    Has anyone used the elite service to do the extension of stay for you? And if so what is the process. ( I know they can do the 90 day residence report but I am interested in the extension of stay report)

    Also any news on the 5 year driver license?.

  5. If you go to the Streamtopia website they have a section on how to get Netflix. I bought a box from them ( it was fully loaded already ) and it works very well. The quality of streaming on Netflix is excellent but for my tv shows I still watch them on Kodi (xbmc) as it has more up to date episodes than Netflix.

  6. I agree this is a good unit. Around the end of last year there was a problem with the Internet cable being cut in the south China sea. My ISP true throttled all the consumer bandwith to favor the corporate clients at that time so my internet was pretty much useless.

    I bought the AIS pocket wifi with a package of hi speed 21 Mbps and 12 gig data. I was able to stream movies over xbmc better than my true connection could even when it was working properly.

  7. I've never heard of this service in Thailand and a quick read of the terms and conditions on their web site says its up to you to ensure you have enough internet bandwidth for it to work. Also I thought the monthy fees were super high.

    Personally I think you would be better buying an androx box with Kodi. It's a one off cost of 4000 - 6000 baht and then everything is free.

    If you you dont know about Kodi and would like a someonr to program everything for you then I would recommend you contact Patrick at Streamtopia ( they are a sponsor of this forum) and he can set you up with a box customized to your TV and movie viewing needs.

    I recently purchased a box from him ( cost was a little under 6,000 baht and it is excellent.

    I also have boxes that I bought myself at pantip and fortune town for 4-5,000 baht and programmed them myself but the guys at Streamtopia do a much better job then I can so its worth using them. I plan to buy another box from them for my place in Phuket.

    And before I forget yes I get all the British TV and sky sports and TV from all over the world. I have TV show and movies and even radio. And it's all free other than the original cost of the box.

    Please note no matter what box you get they will all depend on the quality of your internet connection so bear that in mind.

  8. I would like to order some new furniture from Italy and have it shipped to Thailand. The company in Italy will ship it but I'm not sure what exactly I will have to do to get it out of customs and how much it will cost. I understand the thai import tax will be around 30% calculated on the price plus shipping cost and vat will be added to that price. The cost of the furniture will be around 50k euro.

    Has anyone ever done this and did any problems occur at the Thai side? We're there any unexpected charges and did customs give you any grief.

    Thanks

  9. A few new series to add

    Dig - an American FBI agent in Israel stumbles onto a g,oval conspiracy

    American Odyssey - a special forces team is wiped out by contractors to hide terrorist funding

    The messengers - only one episode but seems ok

  10. Down load it from tvaddons.ag and use the hub wizard to set up your basic addons. If you want live TV then just do a you tube search for Kodi live TV and you will get a bunch of vids with m3u lists you can use. Alteratively an app vdub25 will give u a couple of hundred live TV stations.

  11. I had planned to get the oppo 103 model but just hadn't got around to making a trip to piyanas at fortune town. Now that I know they are out of stock and may not be getting any more, I just saw another global format one on EBay so I may just order from there as I don't mind paying the 200 odd dollars shipping and customs if I really have to.

  12. The BPD 103 model can be bought on eBay for $835 which includes the global shipping program costs that ensure its delivered to your door without any further import charges etc.

    I have used ebay global shipping many times and although it's expensive it really works.

    I guess the only thing is you would have to check if it's only coded for region 1 DVDs or whatever they use if they use anything.

  13. Yeah it's all well good to be arguing over the world imploding, but meanwhile my view Is going to be wrecked by 190 new shoebox condos at Layan Beach.

    The bright side is that it may motivate me to get out there and buy another place with a better view.

  14. Does anyone know what the new project is on Layan Soi 2 that runs from the corner of 4018 road to just behind the beach. They have shored up the creek banks and the project runs all the way around the east side of the creek. The fenced off vacant land on the other side of Layan soi 2 is owned by the shangrliar hotel.

  15. My advice is buy a condo in your own name, or do a 30 year lease on a Vila from a thai.

    Google will tell you in a heartbeat that the maximum leasehold period in Thailand is 30 years. If you want to do a Thai company with nominee shareholders to purchase land or a villa then understand that you may be breaking the law, using a loophole to circumvent the law, or at a minium not acting in the spirit of the law. If you can accept the fact that one day you may lose your property then by all means go ahead and do it but don't come back here whining when you do.

  16. I was talking to an industry professional over the weekend and he said that True has the smartest technicians but they spend all their time working out ways for the company to screw home users out of bandwidth and allocate it to business users. He said the best system is TOT if you can work your way around a router as the technicians are so lazy that they don't bother to try to maximize profitability, block access or throttle particular sites.

  17. Don't laugh but I bought one of these http://www.mygroupon.co.th/deals/shopping_en/5-in-1-Steam-Cleaner-June-2013-/717120961 . I didn't buy from groupon just some other site on the net. Cost was about 1600.

    It works pretty well, I use it to clean the tiles on my balcony and the internal floors. It works really good but be warned it's very cheaply made and probably won't last that long. When mine does break I will buy another one as I've have gotten good use out of it so far.
