To my knowledge, no it isn't

A friend of mine just bought one in the UK and when he got back to Thailand, it wouldn't charge. He took it to the Asus authorized service center and they had never seen one before. Turns out the USB cable is defective and they have to order one from Europe.

To my knowledge they are also sold out in the US and UK. My friend had to order one online.

Thanks so much for your reply.. I did check online (USA) and Amazon, Tiger Direct and B&H Photo all have them. B&H has the best price.. $399. for 16 Gig and $499 for the 32Gig.. Amazon and Tiger are $50 to $250 more...

Does anyone know if the EEE PAD TRANSFORMER is available in Thailand?

Also, my first 30 days are Visa exempt, as I'm from NZ. After 28 days I will go to Laos and get a tourist visa, 6 months double entry. Does the 6 months take effect from the date the visa is issued, or from the date I first arrived in Thailand?

I believe there are no 6 months entering your calculations.

1. You apply for a double-entry tourist visa at the Thai consulate in Vientiane and receive it the following day. The visa's issue date will probably be the same as the date of application and it will be valid for two journeys to Thailand within the validity period, which the Vientiane consulate usually makes 90 days.

2. On each of the two arrivals, you receive permission to stay for 60 days. Each of these can be extended at the immigration office by 30 days.

Why not make it easy... you are from NZ and eligible foe an APEC Card. This allows you to come and go as you please.. You can stay a maximum of 90 days and then do a boarder run... check it out

If one has a iphone4 with ais 3g always on internet, is there any need for the 3g version of the ipad?? You could just tether or local hotspot all the time, no? As well as not having to buy and maitain a separate sim number/account... or has AIS got some better 'always on' deals now??

You are correct... There is no reason to buy the 3G model if you will enable BluetoothTethering . But you will drain your IPhone battery faster. The only advantage to the 3G model is when you use it independent of the IPhone as 3G is faster.

I saw iPad2's for sale at Pantip today ... the fully loaded 64GB, wifi + 3G was going for 36,000 Baht.

No I didn't buy one.

I just bought this model of the iPad2 (64GB, WiFi and 3G) in Singapore and paid S$ 1'380.00 (THB 32'000)

It works fine here in BKK with the 3G SIM from True, no problem.

1380 = 33,709B

Tethering over iPhone works well, and the 3G plans for the iPad aren't all that great. True has a companion plan where you pay less if you already have an iPhone plan but it's still pretty expensive. Best option is probably prepaid. I'd recommend true as they actually have 3G, Ais 3G is rare and doesn't work with the iPad.

The only other advantage of the 3G iPad is that it has a real GPS chip built in. The wifi doesn't...

Pre-paid is not a good option as the iPhone wifi is always connected unless you turn wifi off which defeats the purpose.

If you pre-pay 500B you will need a refill in 2 days... I am talking from experience... Your best option is a plan from

DTAC or AIS.. 550B per month gives you unlimited wife plus a good amount of free minutes and SMS

Sadly Thailand is not on the list :-(...

I did ask the guy at iStudio at CM Airport Plaza when... He gave no date but did say May

Yesterday I was at the Pullman Hotel in Khon Kaen where Apple was conducting an IPAD 2 training session for iStudio

employees...

I believe you will see the IPAD 2 at iStudio next week....

If you are really looking for a Tablet... Check out the Asus EEE Pad Transformer... It blows the iPAD away

Firstly, I don't think this will ever happen.. But if it was too happen... They could always restrict the tablet from displaying programs that are not educational.

They could always contact APPLE, as they do have an educational program that is very affordable..

Yes. Thailand should bring in this law to prohibit older Farangs and other foreigners from marrying very young women .

I have seen some farangs with young wives who could be their grand daughters!.

Laos and Cambodia have enacted these law: why not Thailand.

Laos and Cambodia are Communist Countries and the Gov can do as they please.. Thailand is a Democracy and should act as one.

Perhaps the Gov views this as a means for Farangs to dilute the available Thia woman population thereby leaving only leftovers for those wonderful Thai men
