  1. “permission to own a personal gun must be granted by an army general, not a colonel.” Right that’ll fix everything immediately make sure it’s a General making the decisions not a Colonel. I’ll make sure I write that one down because it’s not like I’ve never heard any stupidity or nonsense like that before during my long military career an answer like that from high up sounds typical to me. Sounds familiar.

    So there's no register or record of how many guns someone buys, and no question asked about why anyone would want to have five? And that doesn't only apply to Thailand, of course. Guns have one purpose and one purpose only - to maim or kill. Why would anyone need five? Why would anyone need even one?

    All you need is one.

    AIS lost its license to broadcast all HBO movie channels , Fox movies, Chanel V and more . They replacing lost channels with few new ones.

     

    losing about 10 movie channels replacing with 2 new movie channels , and monthly price change of 100 baht cheaper .

     

    any others still got license for HBO and Fox? Did not see on true line up.

     

    anyone with ideas ?

    I called AIS and True and found out that the contract is in the process of going back to True soon this year!

    Their phone are always busy I don't think your one-person campaign will make any difference I am sure HBO Max will be launched soon different pricing though will be more expensive

    Normally after a few hours the AIS recording is not STILL telling you to leave your number and wait 24 hours for THEM to call you back ????. This morning when I called AIS I got through within 20 minutes time. Now impossible ????. Good job AIS customers keep it up! ????

    Yeah but never for this long and everyone with AIS can read the message in English or Thai it’s more like every single AIS customer not really a “one person” anything ????

    Apparently they are in Thailand if AIS or True or (you fill in this blank) stop offering their channels.

    Coincidence I just read this on the phone with True literally at the same time with a supervisor who says they’re getting it back. I like the way AIS does it better they offer more channels than True ever did like FX and Fox News. They don’t know the date yet but apparently True is getting it back according to Di the supervisor I’m talking to literally right now on the phone.

    I just gotta say your belief that AIS dropping a bunch of western channels from their TV service is going to be crippling or mortal wound (or even very hurtful) to the company doesn't hold water at least in my book.  The western population in Thailand and the number of Thais that understand any significant amount of English is small (and maybe getting smaller based on periodic education reports & surveys).   And since the great majority of the channels being dropped did not have a Thai language sound track made the channels un-interesting to Thais.  Kinda like me (who is only fluent in English) watching a Thai or Chinese language TV channel.  Throw in all the free stuff you can find on the internet now days and HBO-type services wanting higher contract pricing and it just makes a bad mixture to make a profit from.

     

    Now I wish AIS was not dropping the channels also, but at the same time I understand "This Is Thailand."

    That’s literally the only marketing tool AIS has is their playbox with western channels. That’s why they were able to catch up with and by pass True but apparently that’s gonna be short lived.

    And we can see that the HBO contract is not important to AIS hence the removal

    Most Thai's I know they use the same Service provider that their family and friends use as they get free calls to numbers on the same network as for internet service provider that might be a different service provider 

    Right that’s why AIS stole the contract from True back in 2016 then because it’s “not important”? Really ????

    Either HBO wants to drop the service and it seems they do as they are bring out HBO Max later this year or HBO wants to increase the price of the current service and AIS don't want to pay the increase more than likely due to lack of useage.

    IF HBO want to drop the service there is nothing AIS can do and if AIS don't want to pay more for the same content there is nothing you can do about it except move to a different service provider

    Of course you could see if AIS will keep the HBO channels if you are willing to pay double that message will be passed up through their chain of commands

     

     

    Yeah and HBO probably knows how important the contract is to AIS they probably just figure if AIS won’t renew it True would be happy to have it back so True can get all their business back again. It’s a corporate power play like before with True in 2017.

    Naw....AIS makes the the great bulk of their business and profit from their mobile service...and they are the king of the hill for mobile in Thailand.  Having almost as much mobile market share as True and DTAC combined.

    If it was not for the HBO contract True would still be way ahead of AIS like they used to be back when True still had the contract for themselves. Then everyone switched to AIS BECAUSE they got the contract after True lost it lol. This contract is the only reason why AIS is up there with the big boys now, without it well I think it’s obvious. Obviously they didn’t get big by making good SIM cards ????

    I know and losing this contract will kill that to. Who wants to get their phone internet and cable from all different companies in this country? Maybe in the US or Europe but people don’t like to do that here because it’s extremely inconvenient to use multiple companies for phone internet and cable in Thailand. True has not even fully recovered from it and they were a big company before the HBO contract but not AIS this contract made them what they are today before the contract AIS was just another company and if they lose that contract they will barely be as good as DTAC.

    Haven't seen anyone on here saying that they are willing to pay double the current price to keep HBO and the other channels

    I think most people use the service provider that gives them the best signal quality and voice quality for the area that they live in and use a seperate service provider for their internet service Don't put all your eggs in one basket comes to mind

    It has nothing to do with price it’s simply about keeping the current service as is. 

  13. I made it very clear to AIS as I will everyday when I call that if I have to drop AIS Playbox because of this then I’m also dropping both phone numbers we have with AIS and internet service. I told them I will discontinue all AIS services if this happens and that I will encourage other customers to do exactly the same. I also told them that they can forget about all of my AIS bills next month as well if they do this. I threatened to totally cut off AIS as in total boycott.
