Been looking at the Techline car cd players in MBK come with a built in video screen for around 3,000 baht, anybody got one of these or know if their any good before I go buy.

Thanks,

Have a look at this site has fox, BBC all the football live plus lots of other sports. http://atdhe.net/watchtv.html

Try Evergreen Hotel just off Nathan Road Kowloon side and right next to Temple Street Market they have triple beds rooms and I think within your price range www.evergreenhotel.com .

Not really Sukhumvit but not too far away either. There are a couple of shops that do repairs in Seacon Center. On the floor where they have loads of stalls near the cinemas.

I have a Q here.

A "BB" gun? What type, the little plastic "bbs?" Or real ones of .177 cal?

I have two lf the latter that need repairs but do wonder about the legality of them. BTW, neither are CO2 powered, one is air pump and the other spring powered.

It's a plastic pellet gun not much power as I wouldn't want to do any damage to the chickens and a 1.77 would kill them. Heard theres a few shops in Chinatown that sell airguns maybe someone can give youa bit more info but I not sure if you need a license for them.

Thanks I'll give it a go tomorrow, it's not much wrong really I think it's the rubber gasket inside as if I put plumbers tape around it seals for a while.

Got one of those BB Gas filled air guns great for keeping the chickens and dogs and the odd cow off our drive but the magazine has started to leak (gas hissing out) I'm in the Sukhumvit area this week and wondered if anyone knew of a place that'll repair it in the area.

Thanks in advance.

I've an account with LloydsTSB which I've had nearly fifty years when we sold up and moved out hear six years ago I changed my address before we left and get everything sent to us in Thailand mind we don't get monthly statements but I check that on line but they do send our our new cashpoint cards when their due.

Why don't they take their 30 billion baht and use it to improve the lifestyle of the farmers out in the countryside. Everything seems to revolve around Bangkok and to the people living up there you might as well just have poured that money down the drain.

Have they seen the state of the roads up here or how about using it to give the poor people some of that land that the government are stiing on doing nothing and give them a chance to fend for themselves rather than having to rely on "heroes" to fight their case for them.

Theres more to Thailand than Bangkok.

Not all double glazed units are gas filled unless it's really noisy no need to go to the extra expense. Have you looked at the seals on your windows if there are gaps between the rubber seals then join them together with a drop of superglue (on the seals not the frames).If your going to use secondary glazing then they'll probably be sliding units which don't work so well with noise as you can't get a good seal. If your current windows are UPVC then maybe you can change the windows not the frames to double glazed units.

Thanks for the replies think I'll go and invest in a mediaplayer today together with a nice big hard drive.

When I watch movies using usb plugged into my dvd player sometimes the picture starts to stutter for want of a better word and the sound goes out of sync. I'm using a Kingston 4 gig stick if I used one of the faster usb's would it make any difference and also anybody with one of the media boxes do you get the same problem using them as I'm thinking of investing in one.

Thanks.

Try www.traveller2000.com they'll send the tickets out to you or deliver to your hotel for when you arrive.

Messing around today and found this website http://www.iphoneinthailand.com/NS_Telecom/ for a shop at MBK selling second hand iphones/Blackberrys with prices and photos of them plus a lot of accessories and repair items.

Isn't there a new Tunes hotel just opened in London, I know the earlier you book with them the cheaper the room.

Chinatown Boutique Hotel half way down Petaling on the side street 90-100 ringet cut above the others there.

Funniest thing I ever saw wasn't here but in Hong Kong New Terotories back in 1978. Driving at night and by the side of the road is a group of people standing round a fire with an oil drum on placed and a guy busy getting into the said oil drum. I always wish I had stopped to find out what was going on as it still has me thinking 32 years later.

I ran utorrent for a long time without port forward and didn't have any problems, but because it kept saying you need to open a port I thought I would give it a go. I get right to the end and think I have done everything right but still it doesn't open a port. I wish I had left well alone now as I haven't got any connection at all. I think somewhere along the line I have checked or unchecked the wrong boxes,

either in windows firewall or utorrent connections, but I can't remember what the connections were before I started!

I have thought about getting my IT guy round but him being Thai I'm not sure he would understand about torrents. What do you think?

W.

How about removing Utorrent, restore your computer to a date before you made the changes then download Utorrent again not sure if it'll work but easy enough to try.

I've tried all the apps to boost the abysmal sound I get out of my 2G and nothing works searched the net and came across this on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXDYoNXFwl8 It may sound drastic but it does work very well what you do is pierce the speaker cover holes with a needle, I've heard about it before but thought what a crazy thing to do but lots of people on YouTube praised it so I thought give it a go ( what's the worst that could happen I'd have an excuse to buy a new 4.0,) it works amazingly well just been on Sukhumvit Road with all the traffic noise and could still hear the dial tones when I made a call.

Police will hunt for more such drugs mules and dealers

zero efforts to catch cocaine users . Immunity ?

And if they went after the secondary user you'd be saying the suppliers had immunity, surely it's common sense to target the suppliers bringing the stuff into the country.

You've got to watch Agoda rates, a friend of mine had their hotel on Agodas website checked it one day only to find they'd put the rack rate up by 60 percent to make their price look even better without asking for permission to do so. Lots of better sites around where you only need to pay ten percent deposit instead of all up front with them.

Better to stay Chinatown you'll get a room at Chinatown Boutique for around 900 baht very modern and clean plus you've got a bit night life around you nothing by the embassy, then take the monorail at Pasar Seni to Ampang Park cost you 20 baht then it's just a five minute walk straight up the road to the embassy.

Wasn't this the guy who was dressed in black that put himself in the middle of a battle at the same time the men in black were firing back at the soldiers.

No this isn't their warning for Thailand it's for the UK. They give the same warning level for Thailand as they do for Burma and don't even think of going to Bali.

Probably have a little man in a back office never been outside of Australia watching CNN all day.

Stayed at The Crystal Guesthouse on Chulia Street around your price range, mind that was about three years ago but it was brand new then and the staff were great.

Had the same problem myself when I first got mine, your probably connecting because you have email turned on as I did or maybe the location finder may do this.
