sometime ago i tried to enter one site with some cheap entertaining value and it took me straight to the royal thai police site Ever happend to you?

Dario, the website you offered the link to states moderate at 5.0, where did you get massive 8.2?

Yes, I just saw it on the earthquake.usgs.gov website. Make no mistake: It is recorded with a 8.5 magnitude! That's almost as strong as the Dec 26th tremor!

Have a look here: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqsww/Qua...quakes_all.html

Are we again the only ones realizing what is happening? Is the government on alert? Are they busy evacuating? Or are they again just doing nothing?

Actually the highest is stated now 8.7

Of course if a foreigner commits a crime against a Thai our boys in brown will follow-up.  What about the cop who committed premeditated murder of the two Brits in Kanchanaburi?  Has that case been dropped or what?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Might be, the cops on bail.

I call for justice.

So can anyone tell me more about Boss Tower?? Are there special rates for students. What about the rooms. Has anybody pictures of them?? What is included in the rates and what ist the outfit of the rooms?? Like fridge, safe etc.

I send an email to boss tower, but they didn't respond until now.

Maybe somebody studies at Bangkok so they can help me.

Hi,

I checked out bosstower last year. It's got some really great views, although on one side a new tower is going up which is going to really annoy them. You better not have fear of heights because some of the rooms are very high indeed.

The room I checked out was the lowest in price, which came to more than the price of some of the better apartments a bit further away. I think they charge alot for the general ambience of the place, and they have compulsory maid charges (or they did when I went) which you get charged if you want the maid every day or not (so to speak).

I decided against the place because 1) It was too expensive when compared to other places that in many examples are in better locations 2) It was very new and nobody had alot to say about it 3) The room was uninspiring and rather depressing in all browns and greys, despite its beautiful view.

At any rate, definitely look at it before making your decision. The staff were very helpful and offering to show many different rooms.

Will.

OxfordWill, I completely agree with you. One month at Boss Tower was enough for me. That place is over priced, though it's an easy place for foreigner to land in. There's so many better deals around BU, Kluay Nam Tai. That is, if one prefers to live at that area,,, I've chosen nicer neighborhood farther away from BU.
