  1. I have a few cans of beans now and I would like to turn them into "Baked Beans". What should I add to them?

    Onion

    salt

    pepper

    Heinz Ketchup

    Any other ideas?

    The best baked beans I have ever had in Pattaya come from Lone Star Texas Grill.

  2. How much would a decent router cost in Pattaya? The router supplied by 3BB is ADSL 2+

    I bought a gigabit Zyxel NBG4615 for under 2500B from JIB in Tukcom, but it is only a router not a modem/router. So I use that with the 3BB router in bridge mode (ie just the modem part functioning). For me the 3BB modem works OK and it was OK as a router as long as only one or two devices were connected to it. However it wasn't fast enough to handle many connected devices, NAS drives etc., and I particularly needed the gigabit functionality for local data transfers. I did use it in conjunction with a very cheap gigabit switch prior to getting the Zyxel, and that setup worked OK too.

    I also bought a TP-Link gigabit modem/router in the UK for just over GBP30 which I have as a spare.

    If you only have one or two devices on your router and no real requirement for gigabit connections (this covers most domestic users) then the 4-port 3BB one is probably as good as any. The modem part certainly works well for me.

    Not sure that your problem is actually down to the router part of your set up though.

    People are saying they were working on the servers in Bangkok. Let's hope it makes a difference.

  3. and as sods law would have it, just after I posted the above all modems lost their dsl connection for about 30 mins

    If they all lost it, then you can't blame your modems and its a outside problem.

    With the cheaper modems this happened a lot to me.. mostly overheating and stuff.

    yes mate I am fully aware of that, I am trying to get a feel for whether it is a street - city - regional or national issue, as not many are reporting the issue on here then I have to assume it is very localised

    Recently I had an outage because they were trimming the trees outside the village.. and took down a complete pole by accident. Even the best modem in the world could not have helped me.

    With a new router at least it would be easier to configure and manage.

  4. Down in Jomtien VT 5

    But what exactly do you mean? Is the DSL down or is the DSL up but with no data being transferred? The two are totally different problems though the end effect for the user is the same.

    Have you tried restarting the modem/router? What are the LEDs indicating?

    Good questions K.

    When it hasn't worked in an hour or so I reboot everything.

    It's bad when it is showing connected and not working.

  5. Make sure they include the spiked stick thingy in the price so you can train it properly with torture like the mahouts do.

    It is not spiked stick thingy it is a Goad.

    It is a metal hook.

    They are sharpened every day as the Elephant has thick tough skin that can damage the Goad.

    Goads are expensive you do not want to be buying a new one every week

    I have read many times that Goads are illegal in Thailand. FWIW.
