Today for some strange reason, when I call up www.hotmail.com
it is redirected to to the Thai version of hotmail.
I have not changed anything in my browser setting or anywhere else as far as I know.
It's slightly annoying and really I would like to change it back to English does anyone have some ideas how to do that ???
By the way I am using a Thai ISP Ji-Net.

If the satellite "footprint" does not reach northern Thailand
then you won't get a signal, no matter how big a dish you get.
Have a look here http://www.lyngsat.com/mea1.html this is the Astro your talking about right ??
Now have a look at the Ku band coverage http://www.measat.com/footprint1.html
Does not look to promising to me
monty the good old days of Irderto 1

The yellow building with the boat parked in front ??, I can see it from here.
Some one else told me how happy the guy in charge was to finally have ADSL,and about his eratic opening times. ( or are you the very same person ?? )
In fact some one even closer claims to have ADSL ....it must be to do with tea money.
After searching the Thai webboard have a look here if anyone is interested
I found this from "Knot"
เมื่อว่าผมวิ่งไปถามที่องค์การ กับ TT&T มาได้ความว่า เพื่อนๆที่เป็นเบอร์ของ TT&T นั้นที่ขึ้นต้นด้วย 3 กะ 7 ลองไปขอติดตั้ง adsl ดูนะครับเค้าบอกว่า adsl เข้าไปถึงแล้ว ส่วน เพื่อนที่เป็นเบอร์ของ องค์การ นั้นไม่ต้องกลัว เค้าบอกมาว่าประมาณ 2 เดือน จะทำให้ได้ทั่วพัทยา(อันนี้ไม่รู้โม้ป่าวนะ)แต่เค้าบอกมอีกว่า บริเวณ ซ.บัวขาว ถ้าไปขอตอนนี้ได้เลยนะครับ จบข่าว เราคงต้องรอต่อไปน้า เซ็งๆๆๆ isdn 56 kWe find that TT&T numbers starting with 3 and 7 have to wait a bit longer another 2 months they said that a year ago.
Soi Baukow can get it now... marvelous.
By the way, we are still waiting to a reply from TT&T by email (it will never arrive)
The phone number they give on thier website for checking coverage area and further information 02-693-2100 extension 1292 does not work (surprise surprise)
Yes I truely believe that Thailand will soon be a first world country

I am still waiting for a reply to the email my girlfriend sent to to AT&T asking about
thier planed roll out of ADSL to all parts of Pattaya... they said it would happen a year ago
Obviously they don't give a flying wotsit about customer service.
So does anyone know where I can get an ADSL line from
I am in Soi Yensabai it's not far from second road where they can get ADSL.
I don't mind changing telecom companies as long as they can provide ADSL
if TT&T can't deliver could TOT or Telecom Asia ?
I suppose I could go to the TT&T office and offer some tea money but it would be the last resort.
Any way what ever happens

She has no regular income (apart from me) as i told her to pack her job in (shop) and go home
Why tell her to stop working ?????
A tourist visa to where ???? I will guess Great Britain..... correct ?
How long have you known each other ? if it's more than 5 minutes and you are sponsering her then the chances are pretty good I think.
However I'm not the one giving out the visas

I had my girlfriend send an email to TT@T asking (in Thai) when they planed to roll out ADSL all over Pattaya, like the promised they would do a year ago.
No answer from them yet, will we ever get an answer ??????

A friend who stays near Carrefour Pattaya wants to obtain a broadband connection with unrestricted access. What's his best bet?
Satellite
best bet is to pray

Yes the larger the dish the smaller the beam width of the dish.
So a bigger dish requires more accurate pointing/alighnment,but will have better gain..
A smaller dish does not have to be so accuratly pointed but has less gain.
for boats at sea you need gyroscopic correction of the Azimuth and Elevation.
cheap NOT.

My girlfriend has a small internet cafe in Pattaya (Soi Yensabai) just 5 computers. Most of her customers are school kids wanting to play Ragnarok, other than that she has bargirls come to write emails to their "darklings" and helps them write those emails, this is where most of her money is made.
The charge for playing games is 20 baht per hour.
Internet was 1 baht per minute
but now due to competition it is down to 40 baht per hour.
(now she has someone open an internet cafe right next door to her)
ADSL is still not available all over Pattaya and even where it is available the cost is astranomical ..so she still uses a 56k modem.
Today as it is half term for many schools around here she took just over 1000 baht... thats a good day, she opened the cafe from 10 am till 10 pm .To break even she needs to take 466 baht a day.
Good luck.

I had a long wait to get out of Thailand and back in when I did my visa run on the 26th of December.
If it was due to the gambling crack down or just because it was high season I don't know it certainly want a fun trip 12 hours door to door.
Any way the kids where begging as usual so at least some thing don't change
And it didn't rain that day so I count myself lucky.

I am using Ji-net too.. I am mostly happy with the service and speed for a 56k modem.
but the billing people there have made a big mess up and are trying to charge me over 5000 baht for an account I have not used

Wait till 5 minutes to midnight when Big C is about to close

If we're not happy its Mung-you ( impolite) Goo - I (impolite)
Normal -Chan /Phom (I), Kuhn ( you)
Soppy - Teerak Jah
Grovelling - I call her Kuhnying.
Then theres the distinctly insulting-EE hah / Bok Hah
Normally I would just call her by her name ??? the same as she calls me by my name.
some times as a joke I say khunying and she calls me khunshai.
or dahk ling (a corruption of darling) but oddly very similar to the Thai for a monkeys red arse after calling her that sometimes I need to use the Soppy/grovelling -Teerak
or maybe warn jai- sweet heart.
But I am told the best would be Toon huar kong pom
means something like my princess.
I don't dare use the hah - sut - sonteen - mung words
she might get ideas that the ducks need feeding

ISDN is a digital line 128Kb download 64Kb upload (invented by BT in England) but it is not ADSL which is the modern succesor
ISDN in Ubon would probably be the best bet as I doubt ADSL has reached there yet, still waiting for it in Pattaya
and it's still very expensive.
I am using Non stop cafe 56k dial up from JI-net.com and can keep the line open for 13 hours or more at a time for just 3 baht.
