Thanks for the helpful responses guys - its good get some finally!

I will take a look at the links mentioned and see what I can find out.

Cheers.

Anybody have an useful replies!!!>???

Why do I instantly think of ...

Was thinking more about this

Has anyone tried doing this?

Does anyone know whether Thai Meteorological Dept use them?

Or where to get them in Thailand?

I am interested in trying, but need to work out a couple of things first, like Notices to Airmen?

Would be good to hear from anyone with any experience.

Mityon has it in stock too, but I want to get it on finance spread over a year so that I can ride it sooner rather than later.

fmi! Where is a cheaper place in PTY to buy?

Hey there everyone

Just moved to Pattaya, and want to buy a CRF250 for some gentle(-ish) off roading / trail riding.

I have just been to Mityon and they want a 60% deposit! Having just put down a big lump of cash on a new Ford Ranger, that is difficult! Has anyone got any experience of paying a smaller deposit?

Also, anyone ridden the bike? It seems like a real bargain, but obviously it wont be up to the standard of my previous bikes (KTMs). Will it still be good for off road fun? I had a DT200 in BKK and that was pretty fast and fun...

Advice gratefully taken...

Thank you Hughden,,,,couldn't be more perfect.

What are posters' perceptions of the delay for an update to appear in Thailand?

I'm sure it used to be like at least 6 months but think the iPad update came in a lot quicker?

Hey there - am selling my MacBook Air - 3 months old, latest version with 664GB SSD - my add is in the classifieds section.

will look into it.

Hi GuysI am thinking about starting my PPL or maybe just a microlight qualification either at Pattaya or in Sriracha. anyone done one? here or abroad? was it fun? challenging? scary? boring?microlight course is shorter and cheaper, but might not be as fulfilling. opinions welcome, or if anyone is interested in joining in...Paddy

anyone interested in climbing in BKK - let me know.

I was an instructor for 10years in the UK, moved to thailand 3.5 years ago and havent touched it. Am off to Krabi in about a month and was going to head to the raquet club to get a little bit of training in before doing a little bit down south.

let me know if anyone is interested!

thanks for your responses guys.. and I do assume you are all guys!

this is pretty poor then - what i am getting is just plain awful. I will speak to our manager and ask if it is possible to swap to true...

I trawled through the longest thread in the world yesterday about the best way to check your speed (jeeze?!), and I know what I am getting is below average, even for here. If true and TOT both have lines into my building, will they be seperate lines? Is there a chance that it is poor infrastructure within my condo that is causing the problem, so changing provider wont make any difference?

thanks again for the replies.

Dear All thanks in advance for any help with this... Just moved condo - only 100m down the street near Asoke. in last condo, internet was provided wirelessly by smartzoneonline.com 4Mb - streamed content through a VPN no problem from the UK / USA (-*ahem, definitiely not Pandora and Iplayer*-) Could d/l from Usenet at 400kbps through the UK VPN. moved to a condo 100m away, on TOT 6mb line... now speeds are 5.9Mb in Thailand, but 30kbps max internationally. Its even slower if i try and connect through the VPN. I know that it is limited by the number of connections from thailand to teh rest of the world, but surely it cant be this bad? It is truly horrific. just incase it matters - using the same computers - win7, Grabit. overplay.net VPN Only thing that is different is I was only plugging a network adapter into my computer in the old place, now I have a wireless G router/modem plugged into the phone line. please help someone!
