  1. I was just looking for this yesterday at makro ( Ubon )...no have. However, i remember seeing it in the past. I havent checked our tesco / big c yet.

    Hopefully just temporary out of stock.

  2. I was at the iStudio today, just to kiiiiinda take a look at the 6s. Spoke to the owner whom I reserved the "unlocked" 6s 128gb with. He said that I may actually already get it next week....depending on the quota ( no idea what that quota is or how it is calculated ). He also said that most of the sales are for the 64gb Pink Rose Gold.

  3. I never had a Premier League Team allegiance...just follow a bit here and there. I've been following a bit more of Liverpool as of late though :).

    HOWEVER, once Dortmund meet Liverpool in the final of the Europa League at the end of this season there will be zero sympathy.

  4. Really?! They are unlocked? What is the point of releasing it only for True / DTAC? I remember the iStudio guy saying that I have to sign up for True or dtac, but after 2 or 3 months can cancel the "contract". Wasn't quite sure what that meant or how it worked, so I just assumed it would be locked on their carrier. The guys english wasn't too good.

  5. Sorry for pulling up an "old" thread, but I believe it is still useful for Ubon residents.

    I had a back problem and doing my own google investigation, it turns out that it is not a big issue and an easy fix for a chiropractor. I remembered this thread about a local Chiropractor that spoke english. However, I found his office location was fairly vaguely pinpointed here. I did manage to find him though after a couple of U-turns and walking up to an office hoping it was the correct building smile.png

    I spoke with Dr. Den ( his English is ok ). He gave a brief history of his schooling / experience. He combines traditional Thai Massage with Chiropractic.

    He cracked a few spots of my back...while getting ready to crack the back, I just remember thinking "Sh*t, this is going to hurt"...but it didn't. Actually felt pretty good. I had a approximately 15 minute session and my back is fine again. What really shocked me though, which I've never experienced before, he cracked my ears...I am still confused by how he did it.

    So, here are his GPS coordinates ( keep in mind, the entrance to the blue turquoise housing complex is from the main street....not from a small soi ).

    Latitude: 15.283811
    Longitude: 104.898423
    Accuracy of GPS signal: 33 feet

    15.283811,104.898423

    As you enter the complex, just stay left. At one point you will be driving parallel with the main road, with only houses on the right hand side of that complex ). His House number is 198/14

  6. Yes, I actually just pre registered for the iphone 6s 128gb today at an iStudio in Central. Speaking to the sales guy, he said they only sell the "locked" versions of True and Dtac I think it was. The unlocked versions will become available roughly 3 weeks later. sad.png

    With the dollar being so "strong"...any word on the official prices of the new iphones?

    Well, to quote my own post...Apple has listed the iphone 6s/6s+ with price online and here the official pricing

    6s:

    16GB1
    ฿26,500.00
    64GB1
    ฿30,500.00
    128GB1
    ฿34,500.00

    6s+

    16GB1
    ฿30,500.00
    64GB1
    ฿34,500.00
    128GB1
    ฿38,500.00

    Now lets hope the unlocked versions are available shortly after.

  7. Well, just completed my border run. I stopped by the new immigration, and they seem to be partially operational...there were cars parked outside and I saw a female immigration officer walking around.

    On the way back from the border I went to the "old" immigration in Phibun which was full of Asians ( assuming Laotians ). So that one is still in operation. There were a few notes posted on the door ( in Thai ), maybe one of them mentions the move? See attached picture.

    Here is a picture of the new immigration and an overview of their location

    It seems like the the move could actually happen pretty soon.

    Edit:

    Here is the exact location / coordinates of the new immigration:

    Latitude: 15.200369

    Longitude: 105.410140

    Accuracy of GPS signal: 16 feet

  8. Technically it shouldn't give you problems, but being in Thailand, I guess it just depends on which immigration officer you get.

    When my dad came to Thailand he opened up a bank account with 400k, solely for visa purposes. He also had a seperate account for his day to day spending.

    He never touched the 400k account, until needed for visa renewal. When immigration saw that he didn't use any of the money and received interest, they wanted to know what money he was living on and requested to see his "everyday" account and where the money comes from.

  9. THANK GOD there was no online forum where the Wright brothers asked about advice on regulation how to build / fly an airplane.

    Some people here would just be in their business...nobody wants to fly, too risky, it crashes....how much do you think you can charge for a ticket...it's been done before and failed...you guys are doomed...your brother will stab you in the back....youre wasting your time etc etc etc

    THANK GOD Steve Jobs was not on ThaiVisa talking about building a mobile phone with a touchscreen, music player and full internet browser

    Thank god....I could go on and on.

    What do all successful businesses have in common? They thought it was a great idea.

    The op is on to something. I hope he gets his Visa / Paperwork sorted out and executes his plan well.

  10. Hey Dutch90,

    While I can't give you information on your question ( sorry ), just wanted to give some "support".

    You are on a good path and "idea" and it seems as you have the energy to do it. There are enough people that would want to do a tour in isaan. I for one would've loved to do it before actually moving here, but didn't know of a guide.

    I also get a few customers who travel different cities of isaan on seperate occasions and may enjoy a guide.

    Good luck to you and your gf on your venture and don't let the nay Sayers get to you.

  12. I think he has done a good job of keeping the job applicants application confidential.

    And what s/he filled out really is...hmmm...an insult. The op mentioned that English was a requirement. Why did s/he waste his/her time to fill out the application and wasted the op's time by having to read through that ( while it was entertaining, I'm sure the LB didn't mean to be entertaining ).

    While it may be true that a LB has to go through "trauma" because of their "orientation", does not mean they should be treated as a different person. I am sure that the op would've posted this online if it were a real male or female. The fact that s/he is a LB has nothing to do with the application itself. But from the op's point of view ( so I assume ), did she not only miserably fail the application, but also failed the visual.

    Why get so upset? The Applicant was at no time identified, except being a 25yo LB.
