  2. No. One business buys another business and they merge the businesses/operations. Voila.
  3. Not much will change immediately, we are always improving moderation and content. The whole team is staiying, of course, we have been waiting for this for a long time. Forum structure will change a bit, better navigation etc. We need a better home page, better cloud hosting etc etc. We will share a few positive news in mid May.
  4. The clip is a Facebook video, so you may need Facebook on your device for it to work. Our team have asked Surf Radio to make it in another format (audio only).
  5. Yes, I sure remember that, and I remember you as well. 🙏 I think there is certainly time for another party/piss-up in the not so distant future!
  6. Agree! Best post so far! 🙏 This merger is all for the better for our members and for our staff. The dogs has been pissing on us for a year or two. Thanks for understanding! ❤️🇹🇭

  8. If you’ve talked to anyone invested in bitcoin lately, there’s a good chance you’ve heard about the halving. Some crypto enthusiasts intone the halving like a religious event with near mystical importance: They believe its mechanics are crucial to bitcoin’s continuing price surge. However, detractors claim that the halving is closer to a marketing gimmick. The halving is expected to take place on April 19 or 20, depending on the current rate at which bitcoins are created. So, what is it, exactly? And is it hard-coded genius, or smoke and mirrors? What is the bitcoin halving? The halving goes all the way back to bitcoin’s origin story, born in the ashes of the 2008 financial crash. The cryptocurrency’s creator—who went by Satoshi Nakamoto, but whose real identity remains unknown—invented bitcoin the following year, and dreamed of creating an international currency that would operate outside the control of governments or central banks. Crucially, Satoshi wrote that there would only ever be 21 million bitcoin, so as to temper its inflation and potentially make each bitcoin more valuable over time. Whereas the Federal Reserve, in contrast, can adjust the supply of dollars when they deem necessary, bitcoins would be released at a predetermined and ever-slowing pace. Satoshi determined that roughly every four years, the reward to create new bitcoins would be… Full story: https://time.com/6967414/bitcoin-halving-countdown-event-2024/
  9. TOPIC CLOSED Let's revisit this issue at some point in the future. I'm closing this now as it's gone off topic and downhill with lots of rumors and speculation, plus a few insults. Cheers 🙏
  10. Thank you guys for helping out with this website valuation. It's good to know.
  11. Wow! It could be several things: - Just a rumor - AN is buying Thaiger - AN is merging with Thaiger - Thaiger is buying AN I wonder which alternative is most likely?
  12. 7-Eleven Thailand don't accept debit cards as their sister company True Money want us to use the True Money app, which works very well as soon you manage to get approved as a foreigner.
  13. As of April 2024, Thailand has 14,545 7-Eleven outlets, which is an increase from the previous year. 7-Eleven is the first convenience store chain in Thailand, opening its first store on June 1, 1989 on Patpong Road in Bangkok. 7-Eleven has the highest number of convenience stores in Thailand, operated by CP All Plc. 45% of the chain is company-owned, and 55% is franchised. — ASEANNOW 2024-04-16
  14. Denmark's historic old stock exchange building in the centre of Copenhagen has been engulfed by fire. The 17th Century Børsen is one of the city's oldest buildings and onlookers gasped as its iconic spire collapsed in the flames. Everyone inside the building was able to leave and people rushed to rescue some of its historic paintings. Culture minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt said 400 years of Danish cultural heritage had gone up in flames. The building, dating back to 1625, is a stone's throw from Denmark's parliament, the Folketing, and the royal palace, Christiansborg. Danish media said the nearby square was being evacuated. The old stock exchange was being renovated and had been shrouded in scaffolding and protective plastic covering. It currently houses the Danish chamber of commerce, which described the scenes on Tuesday morning as a terrible sight. Local craftsman Henrik Grage told Danish TV that it was a tragic day. "This is our Notre-Dame," he said, comparing it with the fire that engulfed the roof and spire of the cathedral in the centre of Paris in 2019. Passing residents joined emergency services, as well as chamber of commerce director Brian Mikkelsen, in saving the art treasures from the Børsen. The Dutch Renaissance-style building on the city's Slotsholmen, or palace island, was commissioned by Denmark's King Christian IV with the aim of turning Copenhagen into a major trading centre. Its spire featured four dragons whose tails were twisted into a spear and three crowns, symbolising close ties with neighbours Norway and Sweden. Full story: -- BBC 2024-04-16
  15. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. This have now been adjusted to be shown less frequently during this newsletter campaign. 🙏
  16. OFF-TOPIC This topic is about visa agents for New Zealand visas for Thais, and has nothing to do with visa agents facilitating visa extensions for foreigners in Thailand. Off-topic posts has been removed and topic is now closed. /Admin
  17. Maybe. Just a thought: Could police/government in any country request your historical GPS locations in the event of court case/police investigation? Would Google share that information with authorities?
