It's so bad the practice is forbidden in several countries. On the same level as pyramid scams.

Nominal 220, 50Hz but expect anything between 160 - 240.

Do check your power supply though, as most stuff nowadays has power supplies that eat everything between 70 - 240V 50 to 60Hz. The label will tell you. Those are good wherever you are in the world.

If it's 110V 60Hz only, it'll go poof (or BANG more likely).

Here's a proper meter for insulation and earth bonding test. Lightbulb test mentioned above is at least an indication you have some grounding.

If you can't afford it, pay someone to do it for you.

Try the St. Regis, at Ratchadamri, http://www.starwoodhotels.com/stregis/reservations/index.html

With their current special offers, if you stay two nights you may be able to stay within your budget.

No.

I thought that as a board sponsor, Walen was allowed to advertise for himself without having to resort to shills?

As On Nut is where it ends to be a free ride, expect it to become a lot quieter again when they start charging fees.

Also many gawkers using the free tickets to run the whole line back and forth, enjoying free aircon and views, getting off again at or past on nut, total price still 0 Baht.

Trade it in for an android driven pad. You'll love it, promise!

- Open source Linux based OS

- Developer platform free to download, make your own apps

- Sideloading just a checkbox away (download apps from everywhere, not just the market)

- LOADs of free or ad-supported apps

It's no wonder Apple is fighting Google so hard on every front, they see the writing on the wall.

There's one in Hualampong railway station, one in Mochit Bus station, not sure about the cost and opening times and/or security.

Eventually inflation will catch up with the promises and everything will be fine, keep talking...

Riel for purchases up to a dollar (conversion rate around 4,000 Riel to the dollar)

Dollars for everything else (get change in dollars and Riel, no coins)

Pristine dollar bills only (except for $1 bills which may be slightly used)

Trashed Riel is fine.

Ban Mo, inside the Ban Mo complex, there is a 'resistor lady' selling bags of 100 of most all values (1/4 W, 5%) @ 10 Baht a pack. Other types are also available at a premium.

AFAIK the 7 days is a normal extension that can be granted. If you want/need to stay longer, the 'refusal' is a trick they can use if they are so inclined.

("Your application for extension is denied, you must leave the country within 14 days)

IIIRC immigration can grant you a one-time 7 day extension, 1900 Baht on a visa exempt entry.

You can go in advance.

They will most likely want to see a ticket out of the country to grant it.

Immigration is in Chaeng Wattana soi 7, bit of a hike. If you want to go by public transport, take:

- Skytrain to Mo Chit

- Minivan to Chaeng Wattana soi 7 (25 baht, right outside of Mo chit station)

- Shuttle bus to immigration building (free, right inside the soi, left hand side)

Their official exchange rate board has been suspiciously broken for a long time now, draw your own conclusions.

Every time the Nation posts an article online it becomes breaking news here, minus the dashes.

It's the web scraper they use that messes up dashes. Read it as 20-30B.

Csipsimple should be plenty for all your needs. Open Source, Free, Dialer integration, filters so you can choose which number patterns go through the normal dialer or through sip etc. etc.

Hi,

I'm from Nigeria, and have some interesting business proposals...

Another happy customer

Beware though that they are usually in fact hydrogen balloons, not helium, if you source them locally. Hydrogen is a lot cheaper, have fun popping them with a cigarette butt. And who cares about the fire or two...

I'd try to sleep next to the lines instead of on them, that, or wake up before 6am... Otherwise there's a few places under the highway; a bridge, perhaps?

Got one, happy with it.

Only thing it doesn't do, and the 670 will, is decode DTS 6CH, but I just re-encode and add AC3 6CH to the files that don't have it.

Otherwise, it has played everything I throw at it and the price is right.

You need to buy an app

Walking distance from the Ploenchit BTS station. Some details and map here:

Tesco Lotus also has them.
