  1. I wonder if that's the same group of posters who simply abhor the Thai-Chinese for being a lot more resourceful, hardworking, clever, entrepreneurial, and of course wealthier than their wives' families.

    (Watch the haters start pointing to 'corruption,' 'greed,' or 'conspiracy' et. al., as if their 'inlaws' are any different in that aspect, and as if these bitter-boys themselves weren't screwed over by 'inlaws and relatives' who were *not* Thai-Chinese)

  2. Thanks! That's great news, though I would really like the 3G version because I spend quite a lot of time in India where WiFi is anything but ubiquitous and 2G mobile internet starts from 60 Bt per month with 6GB data allowance and you can get 12GB for less than 600 Bt at 3G/HSPA speeds.

    Don't need 3G if your smartphone already has 3G. Just use your smartphone to create a "portable Wifi hotspot" with your own password, and your tablet can use that Wifi signal. Correct?

  3. Decided on the Londoner buffet last night... it was awesome. My only issue (if at all) is that I wish they had cranberry or cranberry sauce for the turkey. Otherwise, the turkey was great, sidings were good, stuffing was great and gravy was great. (especially the roast beef gravy on the *turkey* !!!)

    Good desserts, great salad, and great shrimps.

  4. Hello!

    It's that time of year again. What's your recommendation for this year's best priced turkey buffet?

    Years ago the best was at a sport bar at the corner of Suk 22 (or was it Suk 20?) with Big John as manager... around 300 baht for a simple but awesome turkey buffet.,.. but I never saw it again after Big John left.

    Afterwards I did Bully's Bangkok for around 650 baht and last year I think I did The Londoner for around 900 baht/person.

    So far this year:

  5. I'm looking to buy black and white prints just to frame and decorate my simple apartment.

    Where do I buy these in Bangkok. There are a few in Ikea but very lacking in variety.

    I'm looking for the very artistic nude erotic type... very classy and sexy in good taste. Framed, they would look great under my overhead halogen lights in the living room. The size I need is 50 x 40 cm..

    Any recommendations where to buy?

    Samples here:

    *Or, if I buy the file from the stockphoto site above and have it developed... how do I crop it to make it exactly 50 x 40 so it will fit my frame?

  6. Okay, so my co-worker borrowed by adapter (output 3.42A) and plugged it into her notebook (4+ amperes) so there was a mismatch.

    My question: Can this damage my ADAPTER? (I don't care about co-worker's notebook; I made it clear not to do it if the amperes are different but the lad went ahead anyway when I was out of the office)

    Now that the adapter has been returned to me, is it safe to use it on my notebook? I'm concerned that if the ADAPTER has been damaged, it will then damage my notebook.

    Thanks!

  7. I had a check up at Piyavate hospital in the past, and naturally, it asked for my phone number.

    I normally do not give my phone number except to "trusted" places, such as a world-class hospital, which is presumed to treat patient records and information with utmost care.

    Yet I received an SMS SPAM from Piyavate yesterday, with a 50% off for some chick up I think (it was in Thai). :annoyed:

    I am not doing this to attack Piyavate's reputation, but maybe if someone from Piyavate (or another hospital) sees this post, they can clarify where this falls under patient information care.

    Thank you. :blink:

  8. Yes, expensive.

    I miss the Sukhumvit 20 Sports Corner deal by Big John (he doesn't work there anymore). It was only 300+ (a little less than 400) but it was great. No fancy tablecloth, but it was great; moist turkey as well as ribs, salad, apple pie, ice cream, and some other stuff (not a big selection, but still good). Amazingly cold beer too.

    Big John where are you???!! :(
