WhamBam

I did that this year.

finished a double entry TV.

Got another double entry TV after 3 months in UK. (No double entries now, obviously).

No problems at all.

What border and price ?Was it a mini bus ?

Pong Nam ron Better known as Hat Lek

6 seater mini bus

2,800 including food and visa for Cambodia.

for phone number and more details. Speaks very good English.

I used VIP visa company at the Queen Vic on Soi 6 off Beach road this last week.

A very pleasant experience.

Good driver who was not weaving about in traffic nor tailgaiting, yet drove quite quickly. No harsh braking / accelerating.

A light breakfast and a meal at the end of the trip included in the price.

A short break on each leg of the trip and only 30 minutes wait at the border.

Everything done including paperwork.

All in all a hassle free experience.

Drink a few for Lemmy.......

A great sugestion, the man was a one off, a legend!

Cannot go out tonight. I'm sick.

Tomorrow though, a drink to Lemmy!!

Met him once. A great guy and some great music.

I hope he blasts those angels in heaven with some great rock music and gets them rocking!!

I like the advert on during the football over the last few days that showed the two women pleading and wai'ing. Next thing you see is them being run over by a drunken driver.

I thought that advert drove the message home.

Pity there are not more adverts like this on Thai tv.

So much b*tching between the pollmaster and SB. To me, this is doing POTY more harm than good. Can the powers that be not send them both off to PM's with it and leave the rest of us to have some fun reading and commenting on POTY?

Or is that way too sensible a thing to ask?

Tetley Tea Bags.

Extra mature cheese.

Marmite.

Hello,

A friend of mine forwarded me your message. I have two LED message boards for sale. The one retailed at Decco for 7,490 and I am selling for only 5,000 Bht but need to move on it

Can you post a few more details, please or PM me with details.

Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies.

Very helpful.

Does anybody have suggestions on where in Pattaya to buy a scrolling LED message board for a shop / restaurant window, please?

One that can have the messages changed by the shop owner.

Thanks.

Yes, IDP needed.

I got pulled on 3rd road last week. UK licence and IDP required.

The police also checked tax on cars and m/c.

No dodgy fines, all to be paid at the police station.

uk licence as well, since when is that a requirement in Thailand ?

An IDP on it's own is not valid it needs to accompany the original licence.

Can you show me where is says that in Thailand

It is not so much where it says anything in written form, but what the Police ask for. If you do not produce it, they either take the m/c or your licence and give you a fine to pay at the police station. fine paid, you get you m/c or licence back.

The AIS 3G (white) Pocket Wifi 21.6 Mbps made by Huawei will take other SIM cards. Mine took my g/f's True SIM as well as my AIS.

USB to micro USB.

Warning comes with it not to leave unattended when charging because it can get hot.

Not cheap for what it is.

I did notice other independent brands available when I went to one of the big computer / phone shopping complexes.

30 days AIS 399 Baht + VAT(?) Fair service but not brilliant.

Yes I went through it and was wondering what it was about. Looking for the abductors seems likely.

I had just been stopped on the railway line bypass, but that was for a licence and tax check.

PP. They DO want to see an IDP, a UK licence may not suffice.

Yes, IDP needed.

Better than the UK where they have been known to throw the odd fridge or tv out the window

In my last condo they were putting up notices asking people not to throw rubbish out the windows. I thought that would be common sense, but .........

I am also fed up with getting e mails who want to give me lots of money as they have accumulated wealth and need to get it out of the country. Do people really believe this crap.

seems enough do believe.

Nigerian scam

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/876021-nigerian-man-arrested-after-scamming-thai-women-out-of-millions-of-baht/?p=10152985

One born every day.

How can so many fall for a scam like this?

Looks like a skateboard ramp for them to launch themselves through the unopened window to gain entry.

Wait!!

What skateboards here?

Or the launch ramp on an aircraft carrier, or ............

Been there. Done that. I stopped looking / trying.

Keep it simple. Keep it light in your heart.

Do not commit to a heavy relationship. Try the old adage of love 'em and leave 'em. Treat them mean, keep them keen sometimes works best too (not something I tend to do).

Do not pay pay pay - more is expected if you do.

Stop looking so hard. The harder you look, the harder it is to find what you want.

Move away from Thai women. Maybe try another nationality.

Go with the flow.

That today I got my 30 day extention in an air con office with friendly staff.

My English breakfast was cooked and served hot with the usual friendly smile at my favourite eatery.

Tonight I will be sat with good, helpful friends (who helped me move condo the other day) having a chat to set the world to rights.

Tomorrow the g/f will be here for 2 days.

Life is good. It could certainly be a lot worse.

30 day extention done this afternoon.

Very helpful staff.

Great air con.

In & Out in 20 nminutes including filling out forms for 30 day and residence.

A far better place than it used to be.

It would be very foolish to rely on the condo management to keep your computers secure. It's not their problem. It's yours.

obviously and the whole point of the topic.

The replys saying any connection to this network is open are incorrect.

Connections across an unsecured wifi are very easily viewable with standard equipment and limited ability unless end to end encrypted. Avoid the open wifi if your security is important.

Connections via lan (assuming not relayed over wifi to router) are not visible through wifi traffic. It is however visible by anyone with the right access and tools on the main router itself. A step harder then reading unencrypted wifi traffic but easier to achieve with an open wifi as access to the router.

To be safest, connect your own router to the lan port and run your own secured wifi (wpa not wep) . Use a different subnet and zero risk of IP conflicts, as someone falsely mentioned. Run a VPN on that router that connects to a remote VPN server, encrypting every single byte that passes through the condo router.

Add firewall, anti malware and common sense and secure from all but the average western government.

Thanks.

Interesting

I do have anti-malaware and a firewall (not windows firewall) installed and file sharing etc turned off on the laptop. Also a program running to detect https as opposed to www or http.

I can set up wpa - having done so before and change router passwords, though a bit rusty on the subject, not doing it too often. Simply a case of refreshing my knowledge.

It seems I am now to get a LAN connection and will be happier with that.

My obvious concern is security with passwords be it for thai visa, e-mail or online banking that I prefer to do from the comfort of the condo.

Some may feel I am a bit paranoid in that respect, but to date, I have never had a problem in the past and I do not want one now or in the future

Are you crazy?

Security guards with guns?

even very few police in the UK carry guns.

Why would you want some unregulated person to be given weapons to shoot ( most likely miss ) someone and possibly injure an innocent bystander?

Sounds like utter madness to me.

Thanks

Thanks for the information and helpful replies.

Been moving into this new condo, so not been on line a few days.

Hopefully this matter might get resolved with the condo management, but .....

There are potentially 300+ condo units here using the insecure service. That is a lot of potential damage waiting to happen.

I do have access now to a secure wifi to access bank and similar accounts, but wouldn prefer this paid per month wifi to be made secure for obvious reasons.

I have read and taken note of what has been said ^^^^^ above and appreciate the responses.

Thanks
