I have a brief question which I am hoping you may be able to assist with. I am trying to setup a web page with thai characters.

The following text is in Thai unicode which displays correctly in HTML

ขอบคุณลูกค้าทุกท่านที่ให้สละเวลามาเยี่ยมชมเวปไซด์ของเรานะค่ะ ทางร้านเราได้จำหน่ายกระเป๋า รองเท้า และ

The following text is another form of Thai encoding which displays correctly in HTML

ÊÔ¹¤éÒãËÁèÊÓËÃѺà´×͹ %s'

My query is how can I input/save the thai characters to be in the same format as the second text example above.

Appreciate any assistance you can offer.

What are your experiences with GPRS providers in Thailand. True is offering unlimited GPRS for 500 baht/month. Has anyone used it?

Can anyone provide clarification on this?

Yes.

I have an APEC visa which allows for multiple entries valid for 3 years of 90 days per entry. Does anyone know if the new visa rules apply to APEC card holders, or are they exempt?

Thanks for your reply, but how is it possible to obtain a Tor Tor 3 for say a condo purchase costing 300,000 baht? I heard that the minimum to obtain a Tor Tor 3 is now 20,000 USD, significantly more than the cost of the condo unit.

I am toying with the idea of purchasing a cheap condo in Bangkok. I have identified a Thai building, approximately 10 years old in On Nut which has a number of studio units (27sqm) going for around 300,000 baht. Most of the residents are Thai and in general the units need a complete interior refurbishment including new floor, paint, bathroom, aircon, etc. Allowing around 100,000 baht to complete this, it does seem to make good sense to purchase one at this price, especially considering the low capital cost.

I would be very interested to hear if anyone else has purchased any cheap condos under 500,000 baht and their experiences with this process.

Is there any issue regarding obtaining a TOR TOR 3 form when transferring the funds into Thailand from abroad, especially considering that the purchase price of the unit would be under $20,000 USD in the first place? Does one even need a TOR TOR 3 in this case?

Comments most appreciated.
