I tried AEO in pattaya and there was a fee.

So I do not beleive this is true for all of their ATM's.

depends on what card you have.

I have both True (docsis) and 3BB (standard) and there are actually no difference between them. Both works perfectly well within Thailand, and woefully slow beyond.

this is what i wanted to find out as i download lots from outside Thailand

Bloody Luxury, when I was a lad me mam used t' send us down t' butcher shop wi' a slice o'bread to rub on the butchers counter.

You young uns got it easy nowadays

You had bread? You were lucky. When I was a lad, my mum gave me a sheet of glass dipped in rat poison to gnaw on every morning for breakfast & I was glad to have it.

not to forget walking daily barefoot through 25cm snow to school

We only went once a week as we only had one pair of shoes between 5 of us.

Those on a UK pension could suffer because they are only due to increase

by a pathetic 2.5%

Sorry but UK pensioners residing in Thailand do not receive any increase.

Except the ones who still live in the uk

I know very little about the financial state of the baht ,but i did hear from a reliable source that his company believes that Thailand wii devalue the baht ,i personally havn"t a clue so dont castigate me.

Very bad here.

Where?

They all charge about the same 900 baht ,you might as well go th Bangkok pattata ,been getting it for years ,if you are retired and high risk you can get it free at banglamung hospital if you have a day to spare.

Glad to hear his girlfriend of 3 months and who now wants a high priced car ,"is not like that" she joins a very large band of other girls that have gullible boyfriends

I switched to the 9Mb option for 900 baht that was offered by 3bb a couple months ago. They seem to have upgraded me as I get about 20 Mb. I'm happy. There are times when traffic is heavy and I don't get full speed, but in general I get some fast downloads. Several GB per hour.

Thanks for the reply.

When i first went to my wifes home many years ago her mum had a few of her old lady friends around and when they were talking to each other not realizing that i understood one old lady turned to another one and said something along the lines of "i wouldnt mind his shoes under my bed" ,these things happen just take it with a pinch of salt and as for foreigners being forward with Thai women ,its usually tourists in areas like Pattaya that do it,thinking all Thai women are the same ,it does not happen among polite people who live here.

90 views and no one to help? someone must have the internet

at the moment i have a "premium" line sharing with 10 others and download quite a bit ,its ok and 3mb but i was wondering if i should change to the cheaper 10 or 13 mb internet sharing with 20 others ,asking at the offices is a waste of time different answer from every member of staff.any help appreciated

At least the were not drinking alchohol,or they would be in trouble when they get back home.

I take rampril 10mg and my blood pressure hovers around 114/68 sometimes it rockets to about 125/70 i kid you not.

Yes, you can drive motobyke to Khao Khew zoo. Entrance fee for 1 person = 100 baht, and for motobyke = 10baht. You can drive slow inside zoo without helmets, stop at any park place and feed any anymals, except small wild monkeys. There is a lot of fun.

100 baht?? When did you last visit? Thai or 'foreigner'?

Price for foreigner

Price for Thai

Bad taste. I don't want to be forced to pay to see a 'free show'.

They are very good there last time i visited with my wife and son ,we took my daughter her husband and our grandaughter,they were on holiday staying with us ,i got Thai price with my d.l and as they were our familly members they were given Thai price as well ,well worth a day out its signposted off sukhumvit after sri racha ,enjoy the trip.

You cant drink alcohol but you can take a drug to give yourself the same effect ,a little like muslim finance ,you cant take any interest but there are ways around it to make a profit ,-hypocritical or what?

Why single out Muslims, same as Christians who don't adhere to the ten commandments or followers of other faiths etc, etc, etc...

We dont tend to go around bombing people who dont agree with us in the name of religion

"A Police Corporal wanted to search Mr. De Smet’s trouser pockets but was prevented from doing so by Mr. De Smet ......"

Ah. What has it got in its pocketses, my precious?

I'm looking forward to the sequel of this bust.

Is that a gun in your pocket sir? or are you just pleased to see us?

At the moment i am in out computer room and he is in the bedroom with his girlfriend ,i can see the light under the door and its very quiet ,now i AM worried they have both just started uni ,the last thing we need is--------- well you know

I see no problem with Pattaya's image. It is a shit hole dedicated to perverts and deviants of all faiths colour and nationality. Truly an international destination of global reknown as the worlds biggest brothel and formulated by the local government to facilitate the transfer of foreign exchange for service rendered.

Unless it is the Adams Family there is no way that Pattaya can or will be considered as "family friendly"

Trouble with armchair travelers like you is that you only know about one small area of Pattaya,for the most part it is a nice town where we have lived and brought up our son as have thousand of other decent people.

Went to Tesco in South Pattaya this morning. I would have spent about 2,000 baht if they had the things they used to have. In the event I only spent 500 baht. Now if I had wanted 500 litres of cooking oil that wouldn't have been a problem. They have a whole aisle full of that.

We are the same ,i now find that the shelves are full of repeat items that they have loads off just to fill the gaps ,whoever does their ordering must be a moron.

my wife constantly fills in those forms at the enquieres desk complaining ,but no one has ever contacted her

Is ice forming on the evaporator or any of the piping in the system once it quits working? I am not talking about condensation coming out of the vents, but ice forming.

I think it may be as when we park a large pool of water eventually forms under the car ,much larger than normal for an air con

i have also tried turning down the temp control as sugested ,no differance.

Former Belgian Police Officer assaults Thai Police Corporal at Pattaya Police Station

PATTAYA:--Just before 1.45am on Saturday, Police were called to the Lucky Star Beer Bar on Pattaya Beach in front of Soi 8 to deal with a Belgian patron who was accused of stealing money from a tip-box situated at the front of a sound stage.

Mr. Jos De Smet aged 52, a former Police Officer from Belgium, was accused of stealing 800 Baht from the Tip Box and is further accused of using 400 Baht of the money to pay for his drinks before he left the bar. As he left he was stopped by the Bar Manager Khun Pisan aged 32 and the female singer Khun Gidapar aged 40 and was asked to accompany them the short distance to Pattaya Police Station at the front of Soi 9 on Pattaya Beach. He refused and when Police arrived, he decided to go.

When he arrived at the Police Station, he was taken to the 2nd Floor investigation room where he was subjected to a search. A Police Corporal wanted to search Mr. De Smet’s trouser pockets but was prevented from doing so by Mr. De Smet who was in a heavily intoxicated state.

Gotta love this photo: looks like he is dancing to the Abba song 'Money Money Money'.

No its definitely gangnam style.

Here in Pattaya it seems cooler this year,we havent had the aircon on for weeks at night and as one poster said you can cuddle up to the wife and not get to hot ,something we used to do every night back home to keep warm

Check the drain pipe is not blocked by a wee dead critter, look under the car, should have a puddle of water, not when it's moving though eh.

Actually when we stop there is usually a large puddle on the floor
