    Best airline deal for Bangkok to Chiang Mai flight?

    Did they charge for this upgrade? What's the advantage of upgrading later rather than during booking time?

    With AirAsia all assigned seating is at a cost... Premium seats cost more than regular seats... The best seat in my opinion is the front row bulkhead seat.... I would recommend booking the seats in advance... If you try to upgrade later the good seats may be taken...

     

    We do monthly weekend getaways... And my travel habit is to do have flights booked 3-4 months out so the plane is usually empty when I book

    With Air Asia you can select premium seats at the time of purchase... Also If you book thru their App you can go in at any time after purchase and request upgrades such as seat assignments... Also the App allows you to have boarding passes on your phone for domestic flights... 

     

    The App is great - We usually just do weekend trips to the beach in the south (Krabi) with small backpack (no checked baggage)... With the App and premium seats it's a very pleasant trip... No need to arrive early to wait in counter lines - the boarding pass is on the phone... with premium seat you get boarding priority so no waiting is gate line - and with front row seat you get gobs of legroom and exit the plane first... The hardest thing becomes trying to find a coffee shop in the CM Airport! ?

     

    Tip: An excellent weekend beach getaway is AirAsia CM to Koh Lipe!... Air Asia includes and takes care of the van and boat arrangements!.... I recommend staying at 10 Moons! and make sure you tuk tuk over to Sunset beach for the sunset!...

    UPS Battery is SH5-12 12V 5Ah, can I replace by 12v xxxAh (maximum that I can find ?)

    in The Electrical Forum

    Curious if you have a UPS that has a small 12v battery could you wire up (I know it would not fit into the enclosure) a large deep cycle 12v battery instead of the battery that came with it?

     

    Something like this:

    Check out Kayak.com to see a comparison of pricing...

     

    I prefer VietAir as they fly into Swampy which has the airport link and you avoid Don Mueang which can be a zoo at times..... and they are cheap...

     

    Also I have found that the airline apps ( Especially AirAsia) have cheaper promotional prices than thier website.

    How can a blank contract paper be totally in Thai?

    If you want anything changed or updated at BK Bank Invariably they hand you a blank document that is a form that is fill in the blanks and boxes to check... Which they want you to sign... It is totally in Thai and they fill in the blanks at thier lesure after you have singed your life away... :coffee1:

    It did not fail, some human failed to turn the dials and swithches properly and/or failed to plug in cables properly.  

    And it should be pointed out that that human was not a Thai... But a foreigner... #TheUsualSuspects..

    Satellite TV

    in Chiang Mai

    If you have a satellite dish installed and I assume a cable that runs from  the dish to a room in your house you can buy a decoder box for a few (~30) free channels that are mostly Thai... Here is an example of the box you need...

    if you go to Amorn Electronics they sell them as well as some Big C... Also look for the street side shops that have satellite dishes outside they also sell boxes... but really prefer to upsell you to a bootleg service for an annual fee...  Just make sure the box you buy has a connector in back for the coaxial cable and refers to Ku-Band (this is the satellite channel available here)

     

    Also If your dish is old and has not been used it may have got knocked out of alignment and may need to be repointed  to the satellite
