Good to hear that it all worked out, and no problem in having 2 modems (I have 3 ) just in case you have a problem again you can check if it is the modem by plugging the new one in.

Edit: //

Which modem did you buy ?? Is it capable of ADSL2+ ?

Monty,

do you know if this works the same for SCB ??

The Apple TV might be the perfect media center for the average tech connected home. It's tiny, it's powerful, but unfortunately when it comes to streaming video, it's useless. Sure it does some stuff with video, you can hook into a computer running iTunes and play movies, and you can buy movies and TV Shows, but good luck playing anything you own not purchased via iTunes. Oh, you decided to rent an HD movie from Apple tonight? I hope you planned ahead because it's probably going to take three or four hours to download.

Apple TV ??

Which is it Word or Yahoo, as I don't know I tried them both.

Yahoo indeed pasting doesn't work anymore so that leaves send the Picture as Attachment only

Word Pasting a picture does work for me.

Edit: //

After I opened the Picture in my Favorite program (Irfanview) and selected copy, I could paste it in my Yahoo Email.

They will give you 30 days for a fee of 1900 THB !

Because your last entry was on Oct 22, you have to report 90 days from that day. That is around 20 January, 2013.

@Chowny77

if at the appointment date, you don't get the extension, just ask for a 60 Day extension based on Marriage, then you have time to investigate and make travel plans to either Savannakhet (Laos) or Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) to get a Non Immigrant O Multiple Entry visa again for the same reason.

For Kuala Lumpur you need to show 100k in a Thai Bank Account, Savannakhet no financial proof has to be shown (not yet).

More info about these 2 locations here in plenty on this Forum !

Still deciding what to do about the pay-off.

I understand that you are in doubt on what to do, but I think what Lopburi3 wrote is the best thing to do.

Good Luck

Actually it is. I would have your wife inform officer, if he actually requests envelope, that she is sorry but her husband will not allow this on advise from his Embassy.

Home visits can indeed be part of the deal (however they never ever been to my house), but still the asking for the envelope with the 3k is outrageous.

If they would come over to see if our marriage is legit (that's what the whole home visits is all about (I guess)), I would "Wine and Dine" them and maybe give them some gasoline money but 3K, NO F Way

Edit : // Spelling

Firstly he is not talking about an extension he is applying to change over his visa to a Non O Marriage Visa. I dont know where that is approved. But I'd like to follow the thread to see if he can do that in country. So wait for the experts eh. Also I dont understand his sentence " The paperwork got stamped my passport gets stamped the same with until the end of January". This doesn't actually make sense, OP can you edit please.

1- There is no such thing as a Marriage Visa, it's an extension based on Married to a Thai

2- All the paperwork you submit to immigration gets stamped. If you apply for an extension based on Marriage, all paperwork will be send over to Bangkok who will then give the final decision, this is only done in case of Marriage, (maybe also in other cases) but in case of retirement the decision is with the local Immigration office.

3- The stamp "until the end of January" is the under consideration stamp. Usually 30 Days from the date you apply.

That is very unusual, where do you live ??

I have done my 2nd extension based on Marriage just a couple of months ago, and there haven't been any home visits or asking for envelopes with money inside. I am in Pattaya btw.

It's just an ordinary bribe as the decision of granting you the extension is not with them but with Bangkok as all paperwork needs to be send there. That's why it can take a long time (30 Days or more) for the result to arrive.

But it ain't a easy decision should you pay or not. If you don't feel comfortable paying, just wait for the decision from Bangkok to arrive, and if they "fail" you, just go to Savannakhet (Laos) and get a Multiple Entry Non-O Visa.

In addition to the above 2 posts, even a Extension based on Marriage doesn't need the help of a lawyer, it's a bit more paperwork but still doable on your one.

Highly suspicious, I would suspect poison.

A neighbor might not have liked the idea of three dogs living next door.

How cruel this sounds, but I have to agree. The family (at our home in Buriram) has the vet coming over for the pups injections 2-3 months after each litter, and for them to die this way because of a missed shot, indeed highly suspicious.

But it also could be because of what they eat, as they will eat anything.

Trying to figure out what Zhulian is.

Perhaps owns Makro.

Makro is owned by Metro, maybe you remember them because they are the company who threatened Microsoft with legal action for infringing on "Metro" trademarks held by Metro AG. "Metro" had been the name of Microsoft's new "Windows 8-style" user interface.

Just google streaming tv, you will find lots of sights where you can

find 1000s films, tv series,documentaries, I stream them from my

computer to my tv, you just need decent provider for Internet I

have TOT 10 MB.

The best are cokeandpopcorn,projectfreetv,iwatchonline,tvlinks

I use a Nettop pc with HDMI and connect to my LED tv,works great

i watch what i want when i want,not 5 10 year old repletes .

regards Worgeordie

Thanks for those, I am now watching old episodes of South Park

Alternatives would be

= Sat TV ( Look at http://www.jsat.tv/ )

- Cable TV (I have no idea about the Providers in Chang Mai)

- Internet TV

- Download from the Internet (Newsgroups, torrents etc)

But remember that when you are using the Internet for watching TV, when the Internet is Down you will not have TV.

Today they asigned my conection as above and its been ok all day so far ( touch wood )

It's been a long time since I have seen "fresh" Brussels Sprouts in Big C Extra even the frozen ones aren't there anymore. But you could check Foodland they normally carry them.

Mine is 101.109 I see that a number of members on this and the range you are on all had problems

Could you check your DNS Servers because before I was (on all ranges) getting one ToT Dns and the other one was Google DNS (8.8.8.8) but now I am only getting two ToT Dns servers, 203.113.7.130, 203.113.5.130

Yes all my modem lights were on but no connection, quite strange, also out by Phoenix anyway its on now.

Rimmer,

any idea what your internet address was at that time ?? This morning I was on the 125.25.x.x range and was unable to connect, but now I am on a 125.27.x.x address and everything is fine.

Cheapest option for you is, before you leave your home country get a Double Entry Tourist Visa which will be give you on arriving 60 Days + 30 Day Extension and then do a Visa Run for again 60 Days + again a 30 Day Extension

You might try changing your DNS to Google DNS (8.8.8.8) or OpenDNS to see if that fixes it. If you are on TRUE, their DNS servers are not the best.

What I understand from the OP, I think he is on ToT.

ToT already has the Google DNS as DNS set up, but in the Pattaya forum there is a Post that ToT has DNS problems with certain Ip Ranges. Maybe that problem is not only limited to Pattaya but maybe Nation wide ?

No Problem with ToT Pattaya using Firefox 17.0.1
