Toyota dealer?

This page seems list the AIS discount replacement phones starting at 100B. In Thai language only.

I don't know about cruises specifically but there are a number of well recommended travel agents in CM. Do a search on travel agent in this forum.

I'd like to visit this place. Map reference or how to get there directions please.

One more Thai thing to annoy the Saudis.

Experience in Australia is that about 1.5Mb or better is needed. So most places on ADSL should be OK. Netflix will buffer and reduce quality to try to compensate for low speeds. Get a free 1 month trial and try it.

Depending on take up, the arrival of Netflix may impact overall net speeds for all. It had ISPs in Austrlalia scrambling to improve their bandwidth following Netflix turn on there. 'the Netflix effect' they termed it.

Today Netflix launched in Thailand and another 130 countries. First month free. From 280B/month.

There was an extensive Tricity billboard campaign running in PTT gas stations over Christmas, so perhaps Yamaha are not ready to give up on it in Thailand. .

LOL. when I read the TAT forecast of a rebound of Russian tourist numbers within 3 months I thought what is that prediction based on, Now we know. Based on nothing but hope.

Thanks. Wasn't sure whether both models supported bands in use here.

Which carriers support 4G with iphone 5 or 5s.

Have you checked the classifieds here on this site?

The easiest one to find is probably the one on the corner of Sridonchai Road and soi 1, just off the SE corner of the moat.

Probably something to do with complying with Thailand's anti alcohol promotion laws. I notice that the new label no longer has pictures of the product in a glass.

Do the border run. It is possible to go and back in one day on Greenbus or you could stay overnight in Mae Sai or Chiang Rai. You avoid CM immigration and you get 60 days more, not 30 days. It is 656B return CM to Mae Sai for a VIP seat on Greenbus

7 or 8 years ago I did track down a guy who made and installed neon signs. His factory was in a townhouse in the Nong Hoi area. Lost the details now. In the end I decided against it, mainly because of cost. The transformer and flashing mechanism cost over 20K baht, uses quite a lot of high voltage electricity is noisy and generates heat. A sign using LEDs has none of these problems. I have seen a number of LED sign shops around town.

Motorola phones? Do you live in 1800 something?

The Motorola E and G have been some of the best value low and mid range android phones (respectively) in the world for the last 3 years. Perhaps the OP is a bit more up to date than you think.

Motorola withdrew from the Thai market a few years ago, shortly before the phones division was sold to Google and also before the award winning Motorola G and X were launched. The Motorola brand is now owned by Lenovo.

So what exactly is changing on January 1st in terms of ASEAN? I thought one of the aspects was freedom of movement between member countries without the need for work permits etc. for ASEAN citizens.

No it only applies to 'Skilled Labour' in certain professions. Even then, there are various controls which mitigate against this. It is estimated that between 0.3 and 1.4% of the workforce would be covered by the current mobility agreements once the qualification recognition frameworks are finalized.

Labour mobility for skilled workers is another issue.

Between 2005 and 2012, Asean countries signed mutual recognition arrangements (MRAs) in six sectors - engineering, nursing, architecture, medicine, dentistry and tourism - as well as framework arrangements on MRAs in surveying and accounting to help facilitate cross-border labour mobility. These agreements allow each member country to recognise education and experience, licences and certificates granted in another country.

But implementation in this area has been slow because in practice, existing national legislation and regulations run counter to regional commitments to labour mobility and discourage cross-border movements by professionals.

GT Rider maps. Available direct from them or at a bunch of places around town. Sales outlets listed here http://www.gt-rider.com/maps-of-thailand-laos-maps/retail-map-sales-outlets-thailand

I wanted to read some of the studies that say less class time leads to better educational outcomes, I couldn't find any. I did find these 3 studies that suggest the opposite though.

In this instance at least, it sounds like a job well done by the Royal Thai Police.

Is that a sag in the bridge approach in the last photo from Twitter

You could. But genuine parts for these small bikes are cheap and better made. Price difference probably less than 100B.

Worth checking the price for a new spare part IMO. Bought a whole new seat for a Honda Dream last year. The original Honda part was cheaper than the seat repair places.
