  1. As a new iphone user can someone plse advise if possible to download free ring tones from a non-apple site without going thru itunes. I have tried to register an ID with itunes but they will not accept details of a non-thai credit card as my mailing address is in Thailand. Any good options here, thanks

  2. For those interested, Muang Ake Vista has re-opened all 18 holes, was out there on Sunday to check and all reports received it is playing okay. The only negative is that their restuarant downstairs is still closed down so no lunches after golf unless you go to Muang Ake main clubhouse

  3. Yes gkinbkk that is correct as I purchased one early last year to watch the NRL on Setanta Sports via another dish and satelite and most games were in HD and superb quality that you can nearly smell the green grass !!!!

  4. Good news for Rugby fans !!! True Visions (UBC) are now televising "Setanta Sports" free to air on Channel 107 (gold & platinum subscribers).Aust TV lost the NRL rights last year and Setanta televised all selected NRL games including state of origin games all last year via the Fox and Channel Nine networks in Oz.If you have a HD box then even better as most games are in HD and programes can be sourced from the Setanta Sports website. No I am not associated with either True or Setanta just an aussie that appreciates his rugby league !!!

  5. With all the latest publicity about certain companies trialing 3G around Thailand do any members have any inteligence about anyone setting up a 3G base station for coverage within the Banchang area and if so then which company ? thanks guys !!

  6. It's not on True Visions unless they're going to show the RWC come November.

    Used to be able to get some rugby on Australia Channel but they have lost the rights recently and only show Aussie Rules now I think.

    There could still be some on Astro???

    Pubs like Jameson's and Shannanigan's will have some on to sit and watch and have a beer, or maybe ask Kim or Colin who their service provider is.

    Setanta Sports Asia is a pure Rugby Union & League channel http://www.setanta.com/asia/TV-Listings/ this gives you a sample of today viewing but the times are HKG so you need to subtract 1 hour for Thailand viewing. To get this channel and satelite you need an "Open Box" set top box and a dish. Suggest that you may wish to contact JSAT TV,I think they have a branch in Pattaya. I have had one for the past 3 months and its great because you also get the games in HD.

  7. I also purchased an open box from JSat recently so I can watch all the Aust NRL games and I am very pleased with it and also the after sales service from JSat and no I am not connected with JSat whatsover but have had dealings with them over the past 7 years.

  8. Could you just get a hotel room/suite? Maybe at the SGS or Westin so convenient to both the MRT and BTS. You should be able to book a meeting room, maybe use an acronym if you think it is a problem using your hotel's name?

    The Amari Boulevard on Suk 5 has a great small boardroom on the lobby level & this hotel is a close walk from Nana BTS, no I am not associated with this hotel but have used this room some time ago for meetings with overseas clients.

  9. A quick phone call to the Landmark can confirm that they do not have Turkey, Roast Beef or a large variety of salmon on Weekday lunch, only on SUNDAY BRUNCH

    My mistake. The last couple of times was indeed on a sunday. I am aware that many hotels have brunch on sundays. But I just didn't realise Landmark have brunch on sundays, since my creditcard statment (and receipt) says lunch.

    Cheers

    Thanks all for your feedback,because of location and convenience for our group I have booked the "Landmark" for the dinner buffet and will give all an honest feedback after our dinner.

  10. You can check out my blog

    http://www.Bkkgastro.blogspot.com

    For a decent amount of buffet reviews.

    Some I would say are quite good are

    JW Marriot

    Plaza Athenee Bangkok

    In the lower sukhumvit area. Make sure you go during Friday or Saturday when there is a larger selection and spread. More expensive too of course, but at the Plaza Athenee for around 1900 Nett you can have unlimited Maine Lobster grilled and served to your table.

    Also decent but personally not as good in my opinion

    Hyatt Erawan

    Rennaisance

    Intercontinental

    Centara

    Thanks for this info,what about the "Landmark" & "Amari Boulevard", any comments on these ones ???

  11. Go to Lower Sukhumvit soi 4 and hire yourself a "tour guide" she will know which are the best for sure and will have tried all of them.

    Please do not get angry but it is actually a good suggestion.

    Thanks Maprao but this would be for a group of approx 13 people
