  1. Germinating legal cannabis.
  2. I live in HH and am waiting for my wife to return from overseas. She's been there several months, and because she already did one ASQ here, she won't do it again. She'd rather stay with the kids. I remain hopeful that this train wreck will eventually come to an end hence the more constructive attitude from this farang.
  3. If Hua Hin is to open by October 15, then there needs to be a complete plan, protocol for accepting inbound foreign travelers. For instance, how would they transit Subvarabhumi enroute Hua Hin, or would only direct flights into Hua Hin be allowed? There isn't much time to sort out the logistics when one part of the country is open but the main arteries are closed.
  4. Update. My DDNS seems to bounce back and forth between 100.x.x.x and 171.x.x.x addresses on its own one or more times per day. There are brief periods when my DDNS hostname is 100.x.x.x that I can access the NVR remotely. But I can't control how or when it decides to switch, so it's pretty useless most of the time.
  5. I'm setting up my NVR client to be able to view the NVR remotely via my mobile phone on the AIS network. When I hit https://whatsmyip.com, I get one IP address in the 171.x.x.x range, but if I log into the HG8145 and look at the WAN configuration page, it shows a totally different WAN IP address in the 100.x.x.x range. My NVR client, using either address as the NVR target, can't get logged in. I've got port forwarding set up correctly AFAIK, having done security systems professionally since NVRs were a thing. Obviously, DDNS doesn't come into play because I'm referring to the NVR by IP first just to get it working that way. Once I figure out why I can't make the connection, I'll use the resolved name of my NVR. Traceroute, on my mobile phone to either address times out due to a large number of hops. I sort of suspect that the router managing the "outer" IP address in the 171.x.x.x range isn't forwarding ports properly. I don't have anywhere near enough Thai language skill to talk to 3BB tech support. Has anyone else run into this with 3BB/Huawei? If so, how'd you get it working? Thanks!
  6. I was talking with a HomePro sales guy about a Samsung smart TV that I'm thinking about buying. At first he told me that it comes with a 3-year warranty. But later, he slips in that well, actually the first year is a 100% purchase price warranty, the second year covers 70% of the purchase price, and the third year covers only 60% of the purchase price. Reminds me of road hazard warranty on tires. I've never heard of that for TVs. Is that prevalent here, or is it something that HomePro does?
  7. Isn't it because the migrants from next door are cheaper labor than Thai workers?
  8. Sorry if this is slightly off-topic but those labels you're referring to -- are they on an exterior film? I noticed a black spot near bottom center of my windscreen. I can feel it with my finger but was afraid to start picking at it just in case the thing got bigger and next thing starts to blow off while I'm driving. After a couple of washings it didn't budge or diminish.
  9. I got 60% all the way around and had real issues seeing the road in front of me at night. I was about to have the windscreen tint pulled off when the guy at the shop adjusted my headlights (Nissan Kicks) which helped a lot. I'm still not thrilled but then again, I don't drive a lot at night. Driving on rural highways with no street lamps solangs and motorbikes with no lights on is my biggest worry. I may still have the windscreen re-tinted at like 30%. I *do* think my car is a lot cooler with tinting.
  10. This is exactly what we want for the house we're building in Chiang Rai. Do you have any points of contact in that neck of the woods?
  11. I opened up an account with a different bank (KBank, actually) and moved about half my savings there. The silver lining is that KBank has easy mobile payments for my utilities - PEA and PWA. Bangkok Bank doesn't have a payment option for those guys.
