  1. Massage therapists work for practically nothing in Thailand and often have to wait for hours to get a customer and they only get paid for the time that they actually work.

    They wait for hours because, just like the fish doctor places and the bars and the tshirt shops, there are 10 times more of them than there should be, all chasing the same elusive 100B.

    If they want to earn more they need to get a job that is in demand, or do their own job better than everyone else so that they get more of the available business and are busy all day. This is real life. Sitting around on your backside for hours on end waiting for one customer to provide your daily wage via a big tip is just fantasy.

    Why sit in a shop all day when you can sit in a bar all night (or part of) and make a nice pay day for less than hour's "work?"

    Maybe because these girls don't wanna work in a Bar and sell their body ???

  2. Take a look at the local TESCO-Lotus outlet, back in the tech section. Also check SE-ED Books if there's a local outlet.

    I wouldn't buy anything from those guys as they don't know anything and will answer yes to any question you might have.

    You can buy your GPS from those guys but if there is a problem, the only answer they will give you is "Mai Roo"

    This idiot thought that repeatedly sounding his horn would persuade me to drive through a red light. As someone said above, I doubt if he would pay my fine.

    I feel ya Brother, I had the same thing happen to me today where a Foreigner in his car (I was on a MC) tried to push us out of the way by constantly honking his horn and revving his engine. I just moved to the front of the line of the other lane and let the idiot pass.

    You don't wanna know how many middle fingers exchanged hands wink.png

    And unfortunately this time there weren't any BiB waiting to fine his b@tt.

    Patience is a virtue

  4. The Link craigt3365 gave you is a very good starting point.

    And this company also delivers right to your front door.

    Note When you buy a gps, the best Map for Thailand is the Nostra or ESRI (same company but changed names) and the latest version is 12.30. When you buy from EagleGps this map comes preloaded.

    Good luck !

  5. ^^ The favourites are stored in the Current.GPX (You should make a backup of this file if you want to keep your favorites) or make a backup of your favorites via Base Camp

    Here is info from the Gps Society how to update Maps

    How to update map for nuvi or Mobile XT

    Map update: if you download map from gpssociety.com website, you will get a file names "gmapprom.img". Connect your nüvi to a computer via a USB cable. The computer will see nüvi as a removable drive (like a flash drive) such as G:\, for example.

    For 3-digit models: when clicks at nüvi drive, Garmin folder will shown. When browse under this folder, there is a installed map file with the same name: gmapprom.img. You can copy and replace this file directly. If the file name is "gmapsupp.img", just delete it after copied the new file.

    For 4-digit models: map file is located under Garmin\.system folder. Normally it is hidden by default. In Windows Explorer, go to Tools > Folder options... > View and click select "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" and remove the check mark in front of "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)". Then the .system will be unhidden.

    If you have additional question(s), please call: 0-2266-9945 or contact via email at: [email protected]

    For Garmin Mobile XT: replace the file name "gmapprom.img" with (or gmapsupp.img) the new one under Storage Card/Garmin.

    Note: it is a good idea to make a backup of previous map file first in case that you lost the map CD that comes with the package or if you have other country map file installed with the same file name: "gmapprom.img".
