  2. I clicked the box then it shows me 8 images with another question in Thai. Impossible to pass, and therefore I cant order a nice OnePlus1 thingey.

  4. As a hack-around though. Download cyberghost or other free VPN client and use an english ip address to order.

  5. I have VPNs up the wazoo here, so there's no need for me to get more :)  But the point is that it's a remarkably poor experience, and probably costing online merchants dearly.
