  1. If, as you imply, your computer is several years old then it will probably be best to replace it. I would assume the internal problem can be repaired but it may need a new motherboard depending upon what the problem actually is.

    If this is the case a new laptop will be the best way way to go as the repair could be very costly

    So you can't go to a public park?  An outdoor venue that's usually lightly populated as Thai people, for the most part don't use them.. too hot and they don't like walking in the heat.

     

    And darn, there goes my gym. Probably. Since I live in Pattaya, they are allowed to open until 9pm.. but will probably adopt this Bangkok strategy

    Gyms increase the health of the users and should remain open I agree

    We had an invasion about three weeks ago. The Wife said it was the warm weather. I said "Oh, are they coming on holiday"

    The slightest drop of anything left in the kitchen was pounced on in minutes, the worst being the tiny ones at about half a millimetre.

    The place was covered in white ant chalk but perseverance paid off in the end.

    can't answer the survey as I feel the government are making a right <deleted> of things plus I feel the new wave is not new at all, Thailand has had lots of infected people who fortunately are asymptomatic or do not fall acutely ill or die it seems, don't know why vitamin D?

    So will there be loads of deaths? maybe not...

    165 - 200 ms is normal to UK. 200 ms doesn't mean server is loaded.

     

    200 ms used to be normal, but with Seamewe5 in use, latency has dropped on 3BB. TOT switched to SMW5 months or a year ago.

    It isn't heavily loaded at that timing but really you need to know exactly the route the signal is going to get an accurate value

  6. It depends entirely on the route the PING is taking and just how busy the server is. 200mS is not fast but it does seem that the server is quite heavily loaded

    With whom do you have a Thai account? I'm sure all main Thai banks have on-line banking facilities. 

    I have been living abroad, with no UK address for the last 15 years but my UK bank has not threatened to close my account so far. I do keep it active.

    However, if you do wish to close your UK account, I'd suggest a borderless account with Wise. (formally TransferWise) You can have any UK incomes, such as pensions paid directly into there and then transfer your money into your Thai account. I've been doing this for 2 years now without a hitch.

    And in multiple currencies within the same account. I have in my Wise account Sterling, Thai Baht and Euros. Used it for over a year now and never had a problem. From my experience it is excellent.

  8. That has been known for quite a while so why is this suddenly news? Cant people read what the facts are. Go online and look for the facts will tell you that obiese people and people with underlaying medical conditions are most at risk.

    Maybe if everyone understood this then the use of the word "case" could be clarified i.e. a cse is when someone has the virus. This does not mean they are in hospital or have died from it.

    Taking the analogy with other viruses, maybe a lockdown in needed for people with colds or cases as they are lovingly referred to.
