You are aware the speed will reduce greatly at some point (very soon I expect). True does not sell unlimited 3G - there are specific limitations and after that point is reached the speed will drop. You might want to read the data on what you bought and advise what your download limit is using the "H" 3G speed.
I'm not using 3G.
I'm using the local Wifi hotspot, connected using Wifi.

Why do you have to put the SIM in your tablet to use WiFi? Just wondering.
MSPain
Cheaper and easier.
Without the sim one would have to subscribe to a True package, beginning around 300b p/m or so.
With the sim it is simple, stick it in, unlimited use for 107b p/m automatically deducted from the sim card balance.

^ Thai Asia Pacific Brewery (TAPB), Guinness being imported other than draft and distributed in retail outlets.
If the OP can get cans of Guinness to supermarkets they will be sold out fast. Though he won't be able, as another company already has the sole import license.

Why not just work in one of the EP's or TSM's then, so you don't have to work any evenings/weekends? and get two months off with full pay.

I appreciate everyone's concern about my salary.. but that's beyond the point! Could this topic please focus more on Kalasin itself. Cheers!

As for your salary, 33,000 x 12 is a lot more than 18,000 x 10 or 11. Two months off fully paid is a great way to end the school year. When you get there I would just go around and talk to other foreign teachers in other schools there. Being rural Isaan there is almost certainly going to be positions available as new 'teachers' start, get a shock at just where they are, and make their excuses and leave. In such an instance don't feel bad for your school, though perhaps a little bit for the director who was probably taking the other 15k of your salary for himself.

Screw the beers and get cans of Guinness into the supermarkets.
Isn't there only one legal importer (importing company) allowed for products like this?
Though you won't be able to as the sole legal importer has decided to stop, and as I believe no one else is able to as they are the sole licensed importer for the product.

Sure, you can get unlimited broadband for less than 4 bucks a month in Asia,... I don't believe it !
You're not in the rip-off, developing world West any more mate.

The police and embassy will certainly take action.
How long was Richard left handcuffed and emancipated in the police cell again?

Government school EP in a neighbouring province pays their teachers 33k x 12 months, filipinos who teach science get the same (they of course have degrees in science). They are also much better than most of the native speakers that go through the doors as teachers in the 30-40k TEFL field.
I have never known any teacher in Thailand to get 12-month paid salary.. This must be a good school !!
Eh?
No. You must be really inexperienced and not have met many others than degreeless chancers.

Silly Westerners, placing so much on unimportant things like honesty, truth, integrity and morals.
Odd people.

Probably crank figure was released State side and people measured RWHP here.

Just talked to Sven and he said he was just letting off steam, before going back to teach at his school's English camp after Songkran.

The customers are the emerging middle class Thais in Bangkok. Couples that earn each 30 to 50,000 Baht a month, live in a condo that costs 20, a car to pay off that costs another 20 and leaves them with 40,000 Baht of spending power. They still eat in the streets day in day out but blow out 3 or 4,000 Baht for a night out on a weekend. And this is a rapidly growing market!
This is the reality that is much larger than most expats realize.
Most of course have nothing to do with this class and are surrounded by locals earning and living 1/4 of that, so it comes as a surprise just how many Thais are living as such.

samsung galaxy tab 8.9 inch. 10k baht
10 inch is too big for me, 7 inch too small.
Only downside is no sd card slot for expandable memory, so you need an extra external multi-card reader for sd card/usb slot.

Well that was a fast download. Speed test:
Ping:47ms
Download: 6530kbps
Upload: 781kbps.
Those numbers are admittedly pretty meaningless to me, but certainly fast enough for everyday peeing about. 107 baht unlimited p/m. Amazing. Well done true!

Bought a Samsung Gal. Tab, the internet in my house is from a LAN cable though. I wanted some sort of wireless for the tablet.
The Truemove Wifi signal is 3 out of 4 bars in my house in BKK,
Just look at where's covered.
http://www.truemove.com/3g/en/wifi_area_bkk.html
So go to the 7-11, buy a truemove-H simcard for around 50b. Put it into your phone and top up with at least 150b.
Call the help 1331, they were great with excellent English and just tell them that you want a username and password for Wifi. They'll set it up in a minute.
Then dial *871*4# and you get an SMS with your username (the phone number) and a 4 digit password. Put the simcard into your tablet and off you go.
Unlimited Wifi for 107b p/m!
It takes it out automatically every 30 days so just do a top-up at the 7-11 before the end of every month.
Fantastic service. I'm just downloading a 290mb game and after that will do a speed test.

I am totally satisfied with it. I can commute, tour ans go for a track at the same day. Great allrounder. Of course it should be better 20 horses more. For 200k great value for thailand.
What are people realistically expecting with a pipe, fuel controller and air filter?
Does the US version have more HP? if so, how?

HOB (House of Beers) used to have an all you could drink special about 1 year ago. It lasted about a month. Something like 450b or 650b. All the Hoegaarten one could drink.

^ you weren't picked up as a suspected teenage motosai thief?
-
so how are you satisfied with the bike guys? Was it worth buying or are you tired of it already?
from most reports it's a great bike for what it is. For 200k it seems like great value if you're looking for something like that.
Can somebody make a youtube with a real bike sound,
No they can't. get one's lazy ass to a dealer and ride one,

I want to drive my children to school on it. Is there a gas tank seat mod out yet? Perhaps use the frame sliders, one standing on each side?
Where is the sarcasm font when you need it
There was a school near my old condo. Many mornings at the traffic lights I'd see a policeman taking his two young kids to school on his bike. One on the rear seat, one splayed out flat on the gas tank, no helmets of course. Then running the red light if nothing was coming. Imagine the results of that in the West. Policeman sacked and possibly imprisoned, kids taken away to care.
