    If they allowed you to create your favourites by defining channels (i.e. CNN, HBO, etc.) rather than channel numbers then nobody would really care about these updates as your favourites would stay the same whatever channel they move to.

     

    At least if they're moving the stations around then simply change my favourites to the new numbers automatically. It's not rocket science.

    Vietnamese Consulate in Khon Kaen - Reports?

    in Visas and migration to other countries

    Posted · Edited by bkkmick

    Just got back from Hanoi.

    The process is like this (for anyone interested):

    Either go to the Vietnam embassy nearest you and get a visa (allow 2-3 working days and bring a photo) or contact a visa agency like suggested by theoldgit ( myvietnamvisa ) - they did it same day for me after paying $40. You will receive a "Letter of Approval" which will list your name together with other foreigners arriving the same day that the agency processed.

    If you're getting the visa on arrival then print off this form: http://www.approval-letter.com/form-on-arrival.pdf "Application for Entry and Exit Visa" (it says take two copies but that is no longer the case - only one required).

    When you get off the plane in Hanoi airport and head to passport control, you will find the Visa Upon Arrival (as it's called there) opposite the row of passport control officers. There are two windows: go to the left one (as you look at it from passport control) and hand "Application for Entry and Exit Visa" together with the "Letter of Approval" and your passport. Then go around to the window on the other side and wait (there's no queue) for the robotic voice to call out your name (it's not so clear, so listen carefully - surname followed by forename). Pay the US$45 (April2014), receive your passport with the visa and head through passport control.

    KL - What can I get now?

    Thanks Joe.

    That sounds like an option I'd like to try.

    I've been googling around and there are many versions of what to do.

    If we fly to Udon and stay over night are there any agencies that can handle the rest? (i.e. travel to Savannakeht?) The AirAsia flight gets in at 7pm so staying in Udon sounds like a must.

    A google search suggests it's about a two hour drive to Savannakeht so leaving early in the morning would work.

    Cheers

    A friend brought an iPhone back from Japan. Where can he get it unlocked to use in Thailand?

    He says that he tried MBK but no luck.

    Android device for supporting website

    in Mobile Devices and Apps

    Hi

    I support a couple of website that use 'classic ASP' (I know).

    I'm off to Ireland for a few weeks and need a device should anything happen that needs my input.

    So, basically, I need a device that allows me to edit ASP, FTP code to the sites, LogMeIn, decent size screen, keyboard.

    Any recommendations?

    Cheers

    Mick

    p.s. Forgot to add: Not too expensive as I don't go away that often, so I won't need to use it that much

    Bangkok to Belfast

    Thanks guys.

    Seemingly the Mrs. has sorted out flights to Belfast via London on BA (not my favourite), THB42k each for 4 (one kid just turned 12 so is now an 'adult') adults and THB38k for a kid. Including a two day stop over in London on the way home. Show my kids some sights.

    All the best.
