While the store said that all the items that had been sniffed and licked were removed and destroyed. And the whole area was thoroughly cleaned
Yes I believe that 100%

I've got the original CTH dish which is Ku band and 24 inches I think (?) but I've no idea of the frequencies?
You can try to manually retune the receiver to the 11-12 GHZ frequencies on the Lyngsat page shown in yellow
http://www.lyngsat.com/JCSAT-5A-and-Vinasat-1-2.html
Look in the receiver menus for "add transponder" fill in as much details as you can and let the receiver search for new channels.
for example transponder number 2
frequency 11008 polarisation Horizontal SR ( symbol rate ) 28800 FEC ( forward error correction ) 3/4
If you cant find the menu to add a new transponder then try a full auto search. -
Frequencies in the 3 ghz range are C band you would need a 1.5 meter or larger dish and appropriate LNB. If your dish is smaller than 1.5 meters and solid its most likely a KU band 11-12 GHZ
The receiver can tune to either C or KU band depending on if you have the correct size dish and appropriate LNB -

As the pages for entering tax payments in the bluebook ( for my wife's car ) are full up and being the ultimate cheap Charlie I refused the testing center's offer of 300 baht to do it ( book back by friday ) and decided go to the DLT next to the Regents school
and apply for a new blue book myself...it was to put it kindly chaos as usual very very busy..they said the blue book would be ready tomorrow after 2PM
so I should have accepted the very reasonable 300 baht offer
Luckily I dragged my wife along who had to fill in the application form and supply copy of her ID card if she hadn't have been there I would have needed a power of attorney form signed by her.. so another trip home and back...what a palaver

So the sidewalks actually weren't removed, just replaced with narrower versions?
In that particular area in front of Pizahut they removed the VW camper van man selling assorted stuff who had been there for years and years
then removed a façade on the Pizahut front wall that was about 18 inches wide then dug up the pavement and relaid it, so they made the pavement about 18 inches wider for the length of Pizahut and then you walk straight into the electricity pylon shown in the photo.

Remember ( when converting ) that they only give you a licence for the category of licence you all ready hold
so for example they wont ( some mistakenly do ) give you a motorcycle licence if that category is not on your foreign licence.
in that case you would have to do full tests for the motorcycle licence color,reaction,depth perception + computer theory test + actual on the track riding test.

Never tried to update as do not believe the lifetime DL is even available to Thai anymore.
about 2 years ago my wife (Thai ) was able to update her old paper " for life" drivers licence to the new plastic one at Chonburi ( Pattaya) DLT
they told her that no new "for life" licences are being issued but people with one already can update.

Buriram erea or is it same same all over Thailand?
Probably the same all over Thailand.
You have to tell them what you want doing, make sure you watch them do the things you want or they might not get done.
most of the time they work on the " if it isn't broken don't fix it" principle
..when the belt breaks then its time to open the cover and change the belt.

So they have now moved them to right in front of the Waterfront condo.
Guess they have to amend their sales brochure with " condo with scrap yard view".
The boats have been parking in that tarmacked area long before the Waterfront condo was built
they also use that area for the Christmas / New year and Music festival so at times its very very noisy. ( + scrap yard view )
The "super high tech marina" was supposed to have allowed the speed boats to stay on the water but raised out by buoyancy floats
(so no need for trailers any more )
these are what you can see in my second photo ..all stacked up on the shore line broken before it even opened !!
All the boat trailers where removed from the sea side of the road where they put them I don't know , they didn't go under or on the fly over as I suspected they would, maybe the nice men in green found some land nearby to use.
view in 2009
robotic parking park destroyed

It's tomorrow...any progress?
Yes they moved 99.9 percent of the boat trailers from the sea side of the road -

101 things to do with a dead CTH setup
in IT and Computers
Posted
This is the list of all transponders
http://www.lyngsat.com/JCSAT-5A-and-Vinasat-1-2.html
from all the satellites that are co located at 132 degrees east
(0.2 degrees is not detectable with a dish that small ) looks like there are 3 sats there
JCSAT-5A Vinasat 1 and Vinasat 2 they all appear to the dish to be in the same place no need to re align anything.
with your setup you can expect to get the channels in the KU 11-12 GHZ band shown in yellow from the above link
