  1. I want to buy a Kindle for a friend in the UK but she hasn't got wi-fi at home. Am i right in thinking that all she has to do is go to a wi-fi hot spot (say Starbucks) to down load the books then she can read them anywhere. Or do you need home wi-fi to use a Kindle. I suppose the same question applies to the use of a Kindle in Thailand without home wi-fi.

  2. An interesting range of comments here. I paid 3 million for my "concrete coffin" over 6 years ago which luckily at the time equated to 50,000 GBP. Now i did gather my thoughts and compared that to what a 100 sq m apartment would cost on the English coast or Med, a bargain i thought. I have had 6 happy years here so far and hope to have many more. If i had not bought but rented or stayed in hotels around the world i'm sure i would have already spent close to that 50,000. Even if i sold at half the purchase price i would still come out ahead.

  3. For those looking to get a PVR through True Visions there is a very useful article on www.somkiet.com/AudioVideo/HD-PVR.html which sets out all the options. Following this i bought the Orico 2.5 in 2598 HDD external enclosure and a 500gb Seagate HDD. Worked great from the outset and i am very happy with the PVR service (so far).

    The good thing about the external drives of course is that you add as many as you want as it fills up. Next time i will get the 1TB WD10JPVT which i've seen for 3,150 baht

  4. O.P. states that he already bought a universal remote. For anyone else who need one when theirs dies etc. There is a shop on Theprasit a couple of doors down from the store with the yellow front. They have all kinds of original remotes. My Samsung broke and I got an original one (not exactly the same as the one that broke) that works perfect.

    I need an LG TV remote as well and i live near Theppasit. Can you give me an idea of how far down the road, left or right. Thanks
