I just got a land line and am selling my Itigno mobil modem which is used with a lap top to access the GPRS AIS system.

I bought it new from AIS and will sell it for a resonable discount.

Its simple to use you just plug it into the USB port of the Lap top and your in biz.

The sim cards cost under 1000 baht.

This is a very important issuse for my family. Somehow my wife got on some program with AIS called "Freedom" and all mins are charged at 2.5 baht. Dont ask me more as I dont know how she did it or anything else but our phone charges are much less now. Its a prepaid card as well. Does anyone else know about this program? Its for every min, all day and night and anywhere in Thailand.

Seven drown as boat sinks off Samui

KOH SAMUI: Seven people have drowned and 10 are still missing after a boat returning to Koh Samui after a full moon party on Koh Pha-ngan sank early this morning

Speaking with the Gazette at midday today, Pol Col Arkom Saisamai, Superintendent of Samui Police Station, told the Gazette that about 40 passengers were aboard the Sea Breeze on a return trip to Koh Samui at about 5 am, when the overloaded boat started to take on water.

The trip from the Koh Pha-ngan, famed for its all-night full moon parties, to Koh Samui usually takes about 20 minutes.

Col Arkom told the Gazette that the seven victims were three Thais, an American man, an Israeli woman and two other foreign victims who have yet to be identified.

“About 10 people are still missing. The Marine Police and other officers are searching for them now.

“The injured survivors have already been transfered to Koh Samui H ospital, but none were seriously injured,” Col Arkom said.

He added that the victims had most likely been drinking and had little sleep, both factors that would have contributed to their deaths.

Hello drinking water does not help lubricate the body actually very well.

I recommend drinking water (hot as you can stand it but not boiled and never cold) only wihen you are thirsty.

Use raw coconut oil, 2-5 TBS per day in a smoothie or some other way.

Ms Ta Good Stuff

supplies me with it here in Samui if you need it and she can ship anywhere in Thailand!

Most coconut oil in Thailand is cooked for 8 hours so make sure you get really "no heat", cold extracted, organic raw coconut oil.

Thats my two baht for today

This is what you call "shit hitting the fan"!

HARROWING 1ST HAND ACCOUNT OF TSUNAMI

author: expat in Thailand

An email from a dive instructor in Thailand. It is the best - and most

harrowing - description of the tsunami I've seen. Incredible.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sitting around, day after Christmas, just staring at the TV, some movie

we've seen before. Mid-morning, post-breakfast stupor controlling Karin

and me. The power flickers and we moan. We'll have to get up and do

something? Then we hear some yelling outside.

I look out the front door, still puffed up with pride about our new

house, just 400 feet back from the beach. People are running up our

street yelling. It looks like a fire at the large two story resort that

effectively blocks our view of the beach. Smoke and dust coming up and

all these people.

Then a small line of really brown water comes rolling towards us. That's

weird. But I reckon it must be some strange full moon high tide. So we go

upstairs so we don't get wet. I look out the window and try and take some

pictures. There is a quiet rumble to it, like those white noise

generators that are supposed to help you sleep. The water is getting

higher and higher and then it destroys our friends cement bungalow! Then

our front door caves in, and then water is coming up the stairs! HOLY

SHIT. This was the last point my brain worked for a long time.

We try and throw a mattress out the window to float on, but the water is

rising too fast, and out the window we climb. It's all going so fast.

It's faster than conscious thought and by the time we are on our second

story roof, the water is coming out the window. We jump.

Karin doesn't jump at the same time or did I jump too early? We're

separated. I scream her name, but the crashing roiling water mutes me. I

can't hear her. I scream and scream until I get hit by something and

pulled under. I can't swim to the top, I pull myself through trash and

wood to the surface and off I go.

Ahead are trees wrapped in flotsam and as I look a Thai guy is struggling

to get free of it, as I pass by at 30 MPH I realize he is impaled on a

piece of wood and can't even scream.

My brain shut down when Karin disappeared, and now all I can do is

survive. Something triggers and I swim. I swim to avoid the trees which

will trap me, possibly kill me. It seems that I am atop the crest of the

tsunami, which is less like a wave than a flood.

From on high I can see the water hit buildings, then rise, then watch the

buildings collapse into piles of concrete and rebar. I swim to avoid

these. Left and right I paddle, looking ahead the whole time trying to

figure the hazards. None of this is conscious, this isn't me thinking it

out, it's some recessed part of the brain coming out and taking control.

I was busy seeing the weird things, like massive diesel trucks being

rolled end over end. Or the car launched through the 2nd storey wall of a

former luggage shop. Or the person high up in a standing tree in a lurid

orange thong. Or the older foreigner that got stuck in the wood and steel

wrapped around a tree, and then his body torn off while his head

remained. I couldn't scream.

I was pulled under, my pants caught on something, I decided that this was

neither the place nor time for me to die, and ripped my pants off. I

surfaced into a hunk of wood which cut my forehead. A 5 gallon water

bottle sped by, and I wrapped myself around it like a horny German

Shepard on a Chihuahua. I was passing people with bleeding faces and

caked in refuse. Some people reached out to me, and I back, but the water

was too fast and erratic. Some people screamed for help and I told them

to swim. Some people just stared with empty eyes, watching what happened,

but seeing nothing. Some were just floating bodies.

At some point, I passed a guy, cut on his cheek, holding onto big piece

of foam. We just made eye contact and shrugged apathetically at each

other. Then I turned ahead to watch fate. When I looked back he was gone.

Trees were pulled down, and their flotsam added to the flow. I was hit by

a refrigerator and pushed towards a building that was collapsing. I swam

and swam and swam and swam and still was pushed right towards a huge

clump of jagged sticks and metal. I was pulled under, kicked towards the

mass, cut my feet and kicked again. I popped up on the other side, spun

around and pulled under again.

Down there, I knew it was not the time, and I pulled my way up through

the floating rubbish of my former town. I pulled and pulled and my lungs

ached for air. I flashed on Star Wars, the trash compactor scene, and had

some big grin in the back of head as I popped up. Sucking shitty water

and air deep in my lungs.

This went on for seeming weeks. Time simply left the area alone. I

grabbed the edge of a mattress and floated. Breathing, just breathing.

Awareness brought back by the sound and look of a water fall. Trying to

push up onto the mattress more and more, and it took my weight less and

less. Tumbling over the edge, sucked under again, and out I shot, swirled

into a coconut grove, where the water seemed to have stopped. There was

even a dyke like wall around the grove.

The water spun and churned, but went no where, and got no higher. I

wasn't swimming, or climbing, but something in between. I made my way to

the land. Every step had to be careful with broken glass everywhere, and

sheet metal poking out. It was a long slow struggle.

The low rumble had stopped, and now is the occasional creak of wood on

wood and metal scraping. Moans came across the new brown lake. A small

boy was in a tree crying, asking for his parents in Norwegian.

I climbed up onto the dyke and looked around. I screamed out for Karin,

only getting responses in Thai. I stood there, panting, trying to find a

thought, anything. As I came back to earth I needed to pee. The first

thing I did after surviving the tsunami was piss! Along limps an older

Thai guy, finds me, naked atop a dyke amid the destruction, covered in

mud and filth, pissing. He didn't even smile, nor did I.

I spent the next minutes running from high point to high point screaming

out for Karin. If I made it, she could too. There was no response from

her. I found plenty of other people, and helped who I could, but always

looking across this vast area of new lakes for her head.

Through the trees was a PT boat, a large steel police cruiser. The boat

and I had been brought more than a kilometer (2/3 mile) inland.

I was standing near a tree, hoping for a clue, anything to say she was

out there somewhere. A small boy in a tree whimpered, and I pulled him

down. We went inland. There were houses, still standing, a whole

neighborhood atop a rise that was untouched. Just feet away were cars

wrapped around trees. I handed them the boy.

I had finished my medic training exactly one month before, so I went to

work. Pulling people out of mud, from under houses. One car, upright

against the trunk of a tree still had the driver. He was dead. It went

on. Before this I had only seen a dead body once or twice. That was

remedied very quickly. I pulled people out of the water, only to have

them choke and die right there. I would take someone's pulse, scream for

help, then find that they had died before we could do anything. It was

beyond any nightmare or fear I have ever had.

An older Thai woman came up to me with a pair of shorts and averted eyes.

She was ashamed that I was totally naked. I smirked and slipped them on.

She smiled and scurried away.

Roaming the former streets looking for foreigners to send to the higher

ground, a place where we could all meet and tend to wounds. After an hour

the Thais came screaming out of the mud saying there was another wave

coming, and flying into the hills. We were left alone. Those that could

walk did, the rest were carried. We made a new base, higher and safer.

And the same thing happened again. And again.

Eventually we ended up in the jungle at a park, where there was water and

high ground. It was messy. Eventually there were about 300 foreigners,

about 120 of whom were injured pretty severely with broken limbs and

ribs, near-drownings, everyone had gashes of some kind, severed fingers

or toes and shock everywhere.

There was no medicine, no tools, no scissors, no bandages. Nothing but

well water (of questionable cleanliness) and some sticks and clothes. I

tried to find anyone medically trained. It was only the diving

instructors who all had basic first aid. So we cleaned with the water, we

broke sticks and set bones and talked people into a relatively calm

place. If someone was severely cut, we used their own clothing to mend

the wounds. It was a horror story. The floor was covered in blood, people

were moaning, or vomiting or asking us to help them. And more arrived

with every new wave of cars and trucks fleeing the "next wave".

After hours of this, we got news of helicopters evacuating the injured.

So everyone rushed towards the trucks. I had to scream and push and pull

people out of the way. The ones who needed the evac the most were the

ones who couldn't get to the trucks. After twenty minutes of sorting

through the priorities, and feeling like we had a handle on it, someone

brought me to a girl who was bleeding severely out of her thigh and was

in shock. No one had brought her to our little clinic area, they had left

her in the back of the truck.

Finally, after a few helicopters had pulled out the worst, I headed back

down. Through rubber tree plantations, and coconut groves we drove. It

seemed quiet and relaxed. At the last corner it was devastation. The road

was clear and dry up to a certain point and then it was a horizon of

rubble. I shuddered.

Someone on a scooter came up and asked for a doctor. Everyone looked at

me! I jumped on and they took me up roads I never knew existed, and over

bridges that were barely standing until I was brought to five foreigners

in the middle of nowhere. One of them was a good friend and diving

instructor. It was the first person I had seen that I knew. It was a

total joy. He was banged up pretty bad, but he got out and sent off to

the hospital. Then the Thais came roaring up the hill, saying there was

another wave. We had to carry four more people with broken bones

(including a broken hip) up a hill. There was no wave. There never was.

I stumbled back down, wandering through the town looking for people to

help. I found only bodies. I found one with a tattoo like Karin's on a

scooter under some rubble. I pulled her out, and it was a Thai woman.

Still griping her scooter, mouth agape.

Eventually I made my way back to the dive shop I worked at. We had always

whinged about how it was too far off the main road, but it survived. It

was a center for the survivors. I walked up to find friends alive and

things clean and organized.

I had been able to keep on, doing what I could to help people, to close

out my mind to what was around me and look only at what I was doing, to

not see the dead people, to not worry about where Karin was. I had held

together so well.

When I found out Karin was alive it all fell apart. I could smell the

destruction, the horror I had just walked through, just lived through,

that she had lived through. My body shouted out all the bruises and cuts

I had ignored. It all struck me and threw me to the ground. It was too

much. I could no longer accept this.

We hugged and ate and slept. My feet were cut up, I had small cuts all

over my body, and a sinus infection from all the bad water. Karin had

gotten hold of a coconut tree, wrapped herself around it and never let

go. She had a few bruises and small cuts and a black eye. I was ecstatic

to see her like that. First time I've been happy to see a woman with a

black eye.

Most of the rest of our friends had come through. They had set up first

aid stations and help stations, organized food and created a center for

people to meet. The diving community came together and became our

support, our medical care, our food - they did everything they could to

help and then some.

(snip)

The next day I went back to where my house had been and surveyed the

damage. One bungalow nearby had been lifted up and dropped on top of

another. The whole beach was visible, meaning all of the two or three

story hotels that had lined it were gone. There was a jet ski just near

our house. The bottom floor of our house was gone, the upper floor was

missing a couple of walls. The only thing left, was a plastic Jesus doll

I had bought as a joke. So I was left with nothing in the world except my

own plastic Jesus.

The level of destruction is virtually impossible to describe. On our

beach we had approx. 2500 hotel rooms. It looked to me, that maybe 50

could still be called hotel rooms. The week between Christmas and New

Year's is the busiest of the week. Without warning, without an evacuation

plan the survival rates were minimal. The wave at our house was about 7

meters high (20 feet) and in some places it was 10 meters (30 feet) high.

It wiped out the third floor of most resorts. The number of dead is

astronomical, several thousand on my beach alone. By the second day you

could smell it, and in the short walk to my former house, we passed about

10 bodies just strewn about.

Our final glance of the town was a cattle truck stacked full of wrapped

up corpses. We wanted to go home.

In Bangkok most people got help pretty quick. The Swedes, Germans and

English had charted flights for their citizens to get home. The Thai

government gave free hotel rooms to survivors and there were lists of

places to get food.

EXCEPT the Americans. I went in to find out what help I could get - I was

able to get a replacement passport, a toothbrush and a paperback book.

They said it was not their policy to arrange flights home. I was cut up,

still covered in a pretty good layer of mud, I had no home, no money, no

clothing (except some borrowed off Keith) nothing at all, and they could

do nothing to help.

They did offer to let me borrow money, but they would have to find three

people in America who would vouch for me, and that process should take

less than a week. In the mean time I was (screwed). I was destitute and

rejected by the embassy. Karin was with me (she's Swedish) and said that

I could still try and emigrate to Sweden. I was VERY tempted.

In these last days, watching politicians go on about helping and giving

aide, but they won't even take care of their own citizens? I am very,

very angry. All the other nations of the world were taking care of their

own citizens! Eventually I got a flight home with JAL (that would be

JAPAN airlines) not even an American company, but a JAPANESE company

helped me get home.

I am still listed as neither found nor alive. Before I left I had spoken

to the embassy twice on the phone, giving my name so I would be listed as

alive so my family would not worry. I went to the embassy twice, once to

get a passport to replace the one lost in the tsunami, and they never

listed me as alive or found. I flew out of the country using said

passport and am still not found. I went to the hospital three times, and,

as of yesterday I am now listed as injured (having been in the states

three days already). My family is now waiting to see how long it will

take before they are notified about my status. So am I.

It does raise a good question - if I am missing or dead, do I have to pay

taxes?

While spiteful about the embassy, I am grateful to be alive, and that

those I care about are still alive. I still look around and am in awe at

what just happened. I really feel like someone has slipped me some

roofies and I woke up in America.

the beef butcher has the best food possible in Thailand!

Raw food dogs live well and smell nice!

I have heard folks arriving in at night still handing over the visa forms to these travel agents 10 pm and getting their REAL visas the next day! easy as pie! and normal in Penang for visa service

I would use a travel agent in town do it and pay them the extra little amount the ask and pick up your visa the next day from them. This is normal in Penang and really happens there dailly.

They all like it as they make more money for them all and they dont have to look at your face!

Most guest houses offer this service too.

here is a web site with more truth for you about the situation possibly?

www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO412C.html

The US Military and the State Department were given advanced warning. America's Navy base on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean was notified.

Why were fishermen in India, Sri Lanka and Thailand not provided with the same warnings as the US Navy and the US State Department?

Why did the US State Department remain mum on the existence of an impending catastrophe?

With a modern communications

check out the web site if you want!

Just got this e-mail sent to me does not look good for Aceh folks!

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 30 (Bernama) -- The death

toll in Acheh, the region

worst hit by last Sunday's tsunami, may exceed

400,000 as many affected

areas could still not be reached for search and

rescue operations,

Indonesia's Ambassador to Malaysia Drs H.

Rusdihardjo said Thursday.

He said the estimate was based on air

surveillance by Indonesian

authorities who found no signs of life in places

like Meulaboh, Pulau

Simeulue and Tapak Tuan while several islands off

the west coast of

Sumatera had "disappeared".

He said the latest death toll of more than

40,000 in Acheh and

northern Sumatera did not take into account the

figures from the other

areas, especially in the west of the region.

"Aerial surveillance found the town of Meulaboh

completely destroyed

with only one buiding standing. The building,

which belonged to the

military, happens to be on a hill," he told

reporters after receiving

RM1 million in aid for Indonesia's Tsunami

Disaster Relief Fund here

Thursday.

Rusdihardjo said there were about 150,000

residents in Meulaboh, which

was located 150km from the epicentre of the

earthquake while Pulau

Simeuleu had a population of 76,000.

The contributions were from several corporate

giants.

Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB), represented

by Chairman Tan Sri

Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid, gave RM200,000; Guthrie,

represented by Chief

Executive Officer Datuk Abdul Wahab Maskan, gave

RM200,000; Golden Hope

Plantations Berhad, represented by Group Director

for Corporate, Legal

and Public Affairs Norlin Abdul Samad, gave

RM200,000; Maybank,

represented by Head of Public Affairs Wan

Norhiyati Ibrahim, gave

RM200,000 and Sime Darby Group's Motor Division,

represented by

Director Yip Jon Khiam, also gave RM200,000.

Ahmad Sarji also handed over a PNB contribution

to Utusan's Tsunami

Disaster Relief Fund, which was received by

Utusan Melayu (Malaysia)

Executive Chairman Tan Sri Hashim Makarudin to

help Malaysian tsunami

victims.

Ambassador Rusdihardjo said a combination of

earthquake and tsunami

had left 80 to 100 per cent of infrastructure in

Acheh province, such

as hospitals, health centres, transport and

communication networks and

homes, destroyed.

"Looking at the scale of destruction, it's

difficult to say when the

search and rescue operations can be mounted in

all affected areas," he

said.

He said rescue efforts were hampered by

transportation difficulties

and lack of fuel.

Rusdihardjo said that at this time

international help, especially in

the form of medicines, clean water, food and

clothing, were desperately

needed by Indonesia to aid survivors in Acheh.

"Now we are worried about the outbreak of

diseases such as cholera,

the work of disposing corpses and the absence of

clean water following

the contamination of water sources," he said.

It would take years before the situation

returned to normal, he said,

adding that the Indonesian government was not

able to estimate losses

caused by the tragedy as yet.

He expressed his gratitude to Malaysia's help

although the country

itself was hit with 66 lives lost so far and

property to the tune of

millions of ringgit destroyed.

"We are deeply touched," he said.

Rusdihardjo said Indonesia was also seeking

Malaysia's cooperation to

mount search and rescue operations from its

shores because of the close

proximity of the two countries.

So when is this suppose to hit Samui?

This is important as I live here!

Please let me know if you know anything!

"under-age prostitution is Asian - not foreign. "

I don’t understand what you are saying???

How did you manage to read the book?

Ok do people just write for writings sake or what?

Why write something so confusing?

"under-age prostitution is Asian - not foreign. "

I don’t understand what you are saying??? How did you manage to read the book?

Ok do people just write for writings sake or what why write something confusing?

The new Thailand.

First make it as tacky looking as possible! This is very important.

Make sure it has absolutly no class, very very loud and bright too.

Are they all deaf?

The more florescent lights the better, add to this plenty of TVs and radio blasting, add as many toxic cigarettes, caffeine drinks, some whisky and plenty of plastic bags (3 per item) and red dyed chemical meat.

There you have it! And if you set up a concert stage have the brightest lights shinning from behind right into the audiences eyes all evening.

This is the new way for modern Thailand.

Crash and burn is the only way to change this class of trash it looks like!

May these brave men rest in peace.

The Muslim religion has been interpreted to say, “You can kill for Allah”.

But there is nothing here but only men who power trip others for there own gain using this "belief".

They are knowingly or unknowingly killing to control for power.

And who ever kills for Allah is way off the truth.

I say today we should end all religions……… as they only divide the planet’s people more and more.

The first religion to go should be this one too it’s the most dangerous in its interpretations.

I am ashamed to be from a race of people with these sorts of beliefs and actions.

Good was here long before the god concept!

Lets all be good for the sake of these fallen men, humanity and this wonderful planet!

Oh this is great, all free range organically grown chickens for Thailand!

Just the way it was for the last 3000 years until recently!

You really are a good man mr toxin

We sould start by feeding all the cockroaches to the Thai chickens!

Many things here to try and follow!

It reminds me trying to catch a big cockroach in my house.

Birdbrains are not what they are, more like this lower creature the cockroach if you ask me.

It’s hard to think or predict what a cockroach will do.

Where the Bygone?

Ok smokers you win, lets just open it up and have all our kids follow your fine example.

This will make you really proud and upstanding citizens.

What a great world and example you are creating.

You all are absolutely the REAL trash of the planet and I hope you get off here ASAP!

Shame on you for subjecting anyone or anything to your filthy toxic smoke!

If you must then I suggest you all eat a cigarette and die please now!

This is the real sickness of the human race.

This is unfortunately the truth of the matter.

The vast majority of Asians (and not just the Asians unfortunately) have not formed the mental understanding yet of the differences between a “plastic bag” and a “banana leaf”.

It’s basically the same thing to them.

Something that holds say, “food” to be used and then discarded as conveniently as possible later when not needed.

This normally is anywhere outside their personal space boundaries (about 2 feet around them normally) which as we all know must be perfectly “clean”.

With their bodies, cloths and such they think they are “clean” and that is good enough for them.

Yet these days these same products they use on their bodies are actually full of toxic chemicals found in their soaps/ shampoos/ powders and most of the other modern personal body care products but that’s another subject.

After their personal space boundaries end, literally “anything” goes!

Now this is fine if you are playing in a natural world with banana and palm leaf products all around you as in the past.

But now with “our” modern consumer products; like styrofoam, plastics and many other dangerous chemicals, you have an environmental nightmare that doesn’t go away once we all “wake up” to these facts.

The Government could control most types of solid waste pollution very easy with setting up effective laws against the use of single use plastic bags, Styrofoam, etc and make mandatory use of biodegradable products and recycling of other durable packaging materials.

But they don’t because they are involved in making BIG money from these short term disposable products with unfortunately long term catastrophic environmental consequences.

I call this the worst sort of leadership possible.

If Mr. Toxin (note his nickname) had any leadership qualities worth anything to Thailand he would recognize this and set up a system immediately to remedy 90 % of the problem by enacting a quick set of new effective laws which protected the environment.

This man though seems only interested in building up his financial empire of financial wealth at the expense of everything and anything else, particularly the environment.

So there you have it, bad leaders create bad quality of life for the county, in this case for possibly forever.

Cleaning up toxins from the environment can take literally thousands of years in some cases.

I am waiting for the day a leader has the mental understanding (duh?) and conviction (balls) to do what it takes to create a clean, “environmentally friendly economy” with lasting results.

So far I have not heard anything (total blank) on the subject from just about anyone in this county except for the King which everyone seems to “listen” too but take little or no action on what he says unfortunately.

Mr. Toxin Shitty Water I am afraid will go down as the most pathetic leader who finished destroying the Thai environment once and for all.

lesson dont trust a cockroach with a knife!

SMOKING BAD FOR PETS: INSURER

From correspondents in London

DOGS living with smokers have a higher incidence

of serious conditions

such as asthma, nasal and sinus cancer and lung

cancer than those who have

non-smoking owners, a pet insurer in Britain

says.

Research carried out in the United States also

showed that cats living in

smoking households were twice as likely to

develop certain forms of

cancer, including lymphoma, Asda Pet Insurance

said.

"Many people don't realise that passive smoking

can have a very harmful

impact on pets in the home, with knock-on

implications for vet bills," a

spokesman said.

The effects of passive smoking were greater on

young animals because their

lungs were smaller, their immune systems were

less well-developed and they

breathed faster, the insurer quoted veterinarians

as saying.
