Ok, I take my bike to Surat airport all the time.

Best route for me is to take the normal route to Surat but turn left on to Highway 44 to Krabi ( about 30km from Donsak) and go for about 38km and turn North on Highway 41 and in 25km you are at the airport. Airport is right on highway 41 so hard to get lost. No worries with traffic lights or crazy traffic on either highway.

Parking is free, easy and relatively safe as the airport is in fact an Air Force base. I always lock my bike with a cable and lock just in case.

Hope this helps.

Turn left to Krabi hwy Why ???? I have done it heaps of times, just keep straight through but turn left at Big C...........easy, don't see how you can get lost.

With the new bridge you can turn right at the Big C crossing and left onto the bridge, and than straight on, that road pretty much leads you up to the airport.

Which link?

The left hand has no clue what the right hand is doing or is up to

Ohm rental at the ring road, at the Chaweng Noi intersection, have 'egg shell' like helmets at around 1,500.-THB, good quality, currently in size M and L

May be hard to find someone to serve you tho

Indeed, victim died

Checked with Telewiz in Tesco Lotus, Chaweng. There is supposedly black out in a small pocket in Plai laem, out phones work fine outside, a few 100 meters away from the house.
According to telewiz only phones with pay as you go SIM cards need to be registered and this can be done until 31st July. Very unlikely AIS or anybody will block you so you get registred. The law is not in place until 31st July. Phones who have a contract don't need to be registered, due to their contract they are already registered, like my # number.

Thx

Bugger! What do you need to register, passport, shoesize, etc?

In Plai Laem we have currently a phone outage on AIS, anywhere else on the island same problem?

Guilty until proven innocent

About the same spot as a water truck a couple of years ago.

Downhill curves are not to be taken at high speed.

Apparently.

I have a Koh Samui info and weather blog with daily weather updates. It's been running for over 8 years now but am not allowed to post a link here so look it up on your friend Google or one of his cousins

Sorry Neilly - no idea other than I have seen lots of different engineers working around the island.

A TOT upgrade on Samui is desperately needed but I worry about the ability of the engineers to support it.

I was fed up with TOT sending a telephone engineer for internet connectivity problems. They seemed not to be able to understand the possibilty of the phone working whilst the internet was not!

I have now transferred to CAT fibre optic - through a third party. The only down time that I have had since November was when a macro machine dug up the cable.

How much do you pay per month for the that service?

I always lock my car when I park in footbath.

And especially in a no parking area!

Thx Jimmy, found it!

Stopped by there today and the repair shop is no longer, anybody an idea where he may relocated to or if he still is on the island. Or possibly give an alternative. Much appreciated.

Plenty of foreigners living on Samui have this card!

Mum is visiting an am in need of a 'cheap' international phone calling card. Skype or other associated social networks are unfortunately not an option.

Do they still exist, international calling cards, to call from Thailand to Europe?

Any ideas are much appreciated.

Use it on a very regular base, ticket with Resident card is approx 7,600.-THB r/t BKK. I need to fly at various times during the day and can't use or wait for discounted flights. Served me very well during the last 5 years and saved me lots of money.

As already mentioned, application can be done year round.

Good luck Rusty!

t's a plague at the moment, Many people lost service for a few days already, we got sorted within 2 days. Am using 3BB and service in general is good

WE had a 2 months loss of phone landline by TOT though, in Plai Laem.
