My US purchased Nexus One Gets all the OTA updates and installs them just fine.

You may search the xda developer forums for your model and update your phone manually with the stock ROM or maybe cyanogen's mod

Hello,

I am looking for a piano teacher for my son.

Do you know someone?

yamaha piano shop in Central shopping center.

Can also try up stairs @ Big C

In Phuket opposite Tesco-Lotus in Billion Plaza there is a piano shop. The only one I've seen.

You could try there.

Shop is called Piano Pros.

Skippers bar @ RPM

Pepper's bar in cherng talay

Sorry to somewhat hijack this thread, but does anyone know a place that will sell codeine? Back in Oz I used codeine to cope with my endometriosis.

I'm not surprised people are hesitant to give out opiods here, but right now I'm getting around not having it by taking too many Panafen+ (paracetamol with 9g of codeine) - paracetamol makes me sick without actually releiving any pain, so it'd be much better if I could just get what works and take a reasonable dosage.

Any advice? Just moved to Phuket (Kathu, specifically) last month.

Thanks!

Codeine Like all drugs in the opiate family are a controlled substance in Thailand.

Tylenol 3 ( paracetamol codeine ) is available from big hospitals (BKK Phuket, Int', Mission, Vachira) but not from local pharmacies or Tesco / Supercheep

Vicodone and Percocet (Oxycodone) are not available in Thailand at all.

Side note: It's an all or nothing thing here. they have 2 levels it's Tylenol3 or straight up to Morphine. And again all are sequestered to hospital space.

I might suggest you look at Tramadol I've been told it works on the same/similar receptors with out being in the opiate family.

From RPM go out pull a u turn. Go to the koh Kaew lights pull another u turn. Turn left immediately before the PPT gas station.

Thailand has good laws in place - just not always followed.....having said that, under Thai law, police or any other legitimate party, must have a warrant to tap your phone, land or mobile(also sms even more difficult to get a warrant for and must go to the service provider). If no warrant was issued, nothing can be used in a court of law against the person. I know from personal experience, that selected and creatively(by police) used bits from a phone tap was used to form a case, that was thrown out by the Thai Judge. Unfortunately, no disciplinary action was taken against the BIB. They just got a smack on the hand. This law has been followed since 3 years or so ago and has been upheld in all cases. That is not to say that your phone wont be tapped to get them going or provide more leads. By far the best way here(or anywhere), is to have nothing to hide and don't break the law. The BIB aren't going to keep tapping your ipod, just to listen to the lies you just gave your wife about being alone etc. and what you are going to do to your "Mia Noi" next time you meet. Even they have a budget after all.....

So by letter of the law a warrant or equivalent document is required for phone tapping.

It seems that a land line is easier to intercept as up until very recently TOT was a Govn't asset.

do the mobile tel-co's cooperate frequently with the BIB? AIS, DTAC, TRUE?

Now assume that you have nothing to hide and don't break the law but say you've made a Thai person loose face, and they want to screw you over and they have family/friends/connections in the police. should you worry?

This thread is not about 1st, 2nd, 3rd or even 4th world countries it is about the Technology and legality behind phone tapping in LOS.

(Might be more of a legal question than a Tech Question)

In the USA any phone taping requires a warrant from a judge. (supposedly)

Is there any such check in the Thai Legal system for phone tapping?

Are Mobile phones treated any different from a land line when it comes to such?

Further more, could the police or DSI put a check on a mobile number to see the incoming/outgoing calls and not record them. Would this monitoring still require any higher check or is no one above the DSI?

Would the normal checks for procuring a phone tap /number monitoring be lessened/abolished during a state of emergency. (e.g. monitoring persons of intrest 'red/yellow/green/perrywinkle-shirts')

OK I'll put my Tin-foil hat away now:lol: Just curious:jap:

A friend had this problem with a group of kids loitering in a Sala across the street from his house (drinking beer, smoking, congregating late, the type of shit a young-en would do away from the parents)

Any way his Thai neighbors put a solution the the problem before he did.

they ran an electrical wire out to the Sala and installed a light. Suddenly they were not so incognito anymore and chose to move on to some where else.

Maybe this will work for you??

good luck.

That's got to be a 150cm mound of undies!! holy crap!

another variation to the tipping, when i get a massage I pay the bill and then give the girl 100thb tip

No specific rule of thumb but i go 20-50THB at lunch and generally 100 THB at dinner. (100 baht is not that much in the big scheme of things and can really make a good difference to a food server) also I always give the gas station attendant pumping my gas 10baht i figure if he/she gets a few of those their lunch for the day is payed for.

cheers

OMG I want one

(Credit: Cervantes Mobile) Is that a keyboard in your pocket or are you just happy to see peripherals getting so small?

In either case, fans of the incredible shrinking gadget might like to know that Cervantes Mobile today unveiled the Jorno, a fordable Bluetooth keyboard that can turn a variety of compatible mobile devices into a pocket-size laptop.

(Credit: Cervantes Mobile) Folded up, it measures 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches by less than an inch, about the size of a deck of cards, and weighs just over half a pound. Unfolded, it tallies up at 8.5 inches by 3.5 inches by less than half an inch and locks into a rigid surface so you can use it on your lap or a nearby table/chair/sidewalk.

The keyboard--a sort of Stowaway Keyboard for today's mobile devices--comes with a detachable cradle to position your portable display in either portrait or landscape mode. As for typeability, the keys are said to be 15 percent smaller than standard keyboard keys, but we'll have a better sense of what that means for e-mailing, blogging, and essay writing once we get our fingers on it.

The itty-bitty keyboard is designed to work with a variety of Bluetooth-enabled Apple iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, RIM, and Symbian devices, including the Apple iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, Dell Streak, HP iPaq, Motorola Droid X, and Nokia N8 and N97, to name a few. It has a rechargeable lithium ion battery that supposedly supplies up to a month of wireless productivity per charge, based on "normal" usage.

It'll go for $99 when it's pocket-ready early next year, but it's on preorder now for $79.

I bought a 120 GB slim in April 2010 from the US. It has a universal power supply even though the casing says 110V. So you don't need the voltage converter to use it in Thailand.

Matt

Thanks! Exactly what I wanted to know. thank you for confirming my suspicions.

The PS3 Slm will work fine in Thailand and all games are multi-region. Stick an adaptor onto the the plug and you're good to go!

A lot of purchased DVDs in Thailand are multi-region too but most of them are Region 3 (so you won't be able to play these ones). :jap:

Thanks MarvinBerry, I know most of the DVD's off the corner are Region Free to begin with. Almost all of my Legit DVD purchases are USA Region 1. So I think i'm good to go.

Not too worrid about the region coding on the disks since I have a handy little Soken dvd player that plays all regions and just about every format video file.

When you say stick an adapter on the the plug you're talking about pins and prongs and the fit, not a voltage converter correct?

Searched the forums and found this

http://www.thaivisa....mes-in-bangkok/

PS3 Games are region free, will only run into region issues for DVD. BR should not be a problem as USA and Asia are same Region code for BR (Region A). according to the above thread.

Any info on Voltage??

I've searched around the interwwebs and I've found various sources that state even thought the back of the PS3 is labeled 110v it's internal power supply is 110-240. All posts stating this (showing the unit disassembled with the voltage indication clearly viable and videos of it being plugged in) have been of the original "fat" model.

Specifically will a US PS3 Slim work on the voltage here?

Are there any Region issues that I should be aware of RE: Games, DVD and Blue Ray?

Thanks!
