  1. I ended up buying Leo from the Thais over the security fence. You had to buy 4 at a time for 200 baht. The Thai seller would throw 4 beers over the 2 barriers and then I had to throw him 200 Baht.

    You coulda just climbed over it, no body said anything to me when I scaled it with a bucket containing 50 beers :o

    Also it looked to me like 100's if not 1000's of people got in for free, anyone could climb over the outside perimiter fence with no questions asked. Then once you had been into the priced areas they stamped your hand but never took yer ticket off ya. If you left that area you could re-enter with yer stamp and then someone else could get in with your ticket.

    I lent some random girl my ticket for all of 10 minutes, and it looked like 10 of em got in using it :D The staff knew what was going on but didnt give a <deleted>.

    Fookin good gig tho :D

  2. I have a set of Creative speakers and the sound is quite good for both music and games. Comes with two small desktop speakers and a sub-woofer and cost around 4500B. I was surprised how much output there was from the tiny desktop speakers and maintain quality.

    I have the same, its unreal how loud and bassey you can get it to run :o

  3. ATM withdrawals in Thailand have been averaging over 70 THB to 1 GBP for a good few years after the UK banks add their 1.5% charge.

    I withdrew THB 20'000 on the 13th of Feb, and after the 1.5% foreign ATM withdrawal fee it’s ended up @ 65.4 THB to the GBP. I know it’s been averaging the mid 66's since Christmas and I’m relatively new here compared to a lot of expats, but it’s the lowest I have ever seen it!

    I’m just wondering if there’s any economists out there who could shed a little light on why this is happening and when, if at all this declining trend will shift the other way?

    Thx :o

    Nong Nat seems to be quite popular at the moment. She would win the people's popular vote. biggrin.gif

    I'm sure most Thai politicians wouldn't mind working under Nong Nat. giggle.gif

    I wouldn't be surprised if some already had!

    Beat me to it, I think shes holed up with some lesbo @ the moment though :o

  5. …it's supposed to be 100 mbps, which presumably is 1000 kbps. Is that right?
    mbps (millibaud per second) is not commonly used. That would be 1/1000 baud per second. In other words, it would take 1,000 seconds to transmit one baud.

    1 Mbps (Megabaud per second) = 1000 kbps (kilobaud per second)

    Where are you subscribed at 100 Mbps?

    ---------------

    Maestro

    Have you just come out of hybernation mate?? Baud hasnt commonly been used to define data rates for over a decade!

    Mbps usually means megabits per second with todays modulation capabilitys, I think hes got his patch to the gateway mixed up with the actual ADSL line speed :o

  6. Does it count that my building subscribes to UBC and pipes it into the rooms? What details do you need, could I just say I am a subscriber and bluff it out?

    Get the manager to photocopy it for you, I used a personal one and the building one :o

  7. I really think that American men are far better than most men from other countries. American men have been trained and brainwashed from birth to take loads of crap and say thank you to our American wives. We were taught to work our tails off and if that wasn't enough money (it never was) to get a second job or at least a better paying job.

    That said, DON'T find an American man in Thailand because chances are that he has broken his chains and realizes that Thai men are far smarter. They never did buy into putting their woman on a pedestal.

    American men are nothing more than oversized girls! :o

  8. i did buy a new laptop in pattaya for 55,000 baht, i had it for approx i week.i left it in my condo all locked up and went down to my pool for a swim and 30mins later i returned to find the door locked and the laptop gone. so my answer now is no i donot bring a laptop to pattaya. :o

    name and shame the condo!!

  9. More than 60 per cent of teenagers have watched and downloaded pornographic photos off the Internet behind their parents’ backs,

    Yeah. And what their parents are doing meanwhile ?

    They're watching "Anna" VCD !

    What a country.

    In a few weeks, this "home made" porn VCD has circulated in all offices in BKK... among very old and conservative people...

    :D

    Is it online yet? I hadnt heard about that one :o
