Hi Johng.

I thought that was a promotion they ran during the summer.

I asked about promotions last time i was there and they replied they didn't have any.

Monty,

I guess i'll go tomorrow and see if i can get the 512/256.

What do you pay once you reach the quota?

I'm a bit worried reading the experiences of Madsere, but i guess it's worth a try.

Hi.

I'm about to set up a small business here in Pattaya.

Who to use and who to avoid?

Any advice/recommendation gratefully appreciated.

I Went to carrefour 2 weeks back and got the pricelists for ADSL.

The ones i saw at 512/256 went for 7500/month.

Is there something im missing here?

Got the IPSTAR 512/128 for 5000/month and i'm happy with it. Thanx monty

Where i live (soi bongkot) we get powershortages whenever it rains heavily and that takes me offline at times. Apart from that i've experienced a drop in my connection once. And that lasted 5 minutes.

It works just fine, even when it rains and the power doesn't go out.

The 1.5 GB bandwidth limit/month sucks however.

And for that sake i would be interested in getting ADSL.

But im not interested in sharing a 512 connection with 5 ppl at 7500.

It's pretty lame even at 2500.

Hey Lopburi3.

I've posted questions relating to the O-visa in this thread before and thought it appropriate to continue in the same thread. But I'll make sure to make new posts in new threads hereafter.

Thanx for your answer.

I'm on a 30-day visa. I've done visaruns to Poipet every month for 6 months.

If i have to go abroad, why did the immo at Poipet say i could go to bkk and get the o-visa?

Or are you saying i should first get an extension of my 30-day Touristvisa for support of wife, and then change the status to O here?

Best reagards,

Hi.

Is it true that i can go to the immis ofice in bkk to apply for my o-visa (marriage)?

I thought i would have to go abroad to get it.

An immo told me this at poipet last weekend.

If i have to go abroad, where's the best place to go? (dont want to go back to Europe)

Since there is a farang WP / thai empl - ratio Sole prop shouldnt be doable.

Right?

WAAAAAaaaaa... is this for real??????

This just my day

Now im gonna go have a beer and kiss my beautiful soon-to-be-legally-married-wife.

Best regards to all of you. And this site rocks!!

Hi guys.

I'm 37, a Swedish citizen, and quite confused by all of this.

I am getting married to a Thai girl as soon as relevant papers arrive from the authorities at home. My gf is 6 months pregnant and i hope we'll have everything settled by the time the child arrives.

I'm currently on a 30day-tv doing visaruns to Cambodja. (done 1 so far)

I want to stay here for atleast 6 months, but probably 1 year, and read that if i do visaruns they might refuse reentry after 6 months.

If i go for the O-visa i will need to show all types of records (marital status, finance, crime) which would mean i need to go back home (marital and finance is ok, but criminal record requires me to go in person). Besides the marital is about to change and i guess the imo will find it conflicting that im single in the swedish papers but married here (will he want a new status report from Sweden?).

Are all these requirements really necessary for a family "O"-visa? Jeeez..

Some say the requirements arent there if i go to Penang, is that true?

What would you advice me to do?

Hi Monty!

Thanks for your reply. I think i will need to look into the IPStar package and see if i can try it out somewhere.

I'm on a TT&T line right now, but ADSL isn't supported in my area in Soi Bongkot (accordning to the ppl at Carrefour & TT&T website).

The connection over the phoneline isn't that stable and my modem reconnects about 20 times a day. Connection speeds are a blast too.. i've never had more than 45 kb/s and often get 16.8/19.2/24 etc. I've noticed a reduction in speed and more frequent reconnects as the wind picks up (apart from once when i think it was a bird that took a break and s(h)at on the cable).

This makes me wonder about the ADSL too, should they cover my area anywhere soon. I guess the ADSL would drop alot too.

Thanks alot for the information.

Best regards,

NoBuzz

For eample IPStar by CSLoxinfo?

Is it any good?

/NoBuzz

CSLoxinfo? IpStar?

Why wasn't it any good?

Hi,

I have recently moved in to Pattaya and rent a small house here (soi bongkot).

I'm currently using a 56k modem to connect to the internet out of my home and i am waiting for the ADSL to be installed in my area. The very lovely lady over at TToT promised me that my area would be covered by 1/7. As i called them today however, they said august/sept.

Needless to say, i'm about to go ballistic and im acctually considering moving to a new location.

Am I really out of options here? Are there no other suppliers for ADSL / "above-modem-speed" - internet?

With hopes of gentle guidance from seasoned expats,

NoBuzz
