  1. Hello from Thailand! Woke up early the day of my first flight (Wednesday), worried about entrance requirements. So i logged into onwardtickets.com that has been recommended by other forum members. I booked a flight out three weeks after my arrival, valid for 48 hours, paid $16 by credit card. I got an email with a flight booking PDF after just a few minutes, and then five minutes later I logged onto the airline website using my last name and the reference number on the booking. Nice! They had a booking under my name. Just arrived in Thailand yesterday, transiting in Hong Kong. When getting my boarding pass, the agent had a checklist of required items. NO Thailand Pass required, and NO insurance requirement. She did want to see my vaccination certificate and my visa. With no visa, she asked (but did not ask to see) if I had 20 thousand baht or equivalent, and she asked to see my flight out of Thailand. I showed her the booking email PDF I downloaded to my cellphone, and then the big moment arrived. She logged onto the airline website to confirm and no problem. Done and dusted, got my boarding pass. Best $16 insurance I ever purchased.
  2. The HDD on my 3-year old Lenovo Ideapad crapped out a couple months ago. Replaced it with a same-capacity SDD and at the same time doubled the RAM. Went from two minute boot up time to 20 seconds. No heat problems. The fan doesn't run nearly as often or as long as before the change.
  3. I've seen this website mentioned several times, posters saying it's possible to "rent" a ticket. Have you used this service yourself? I'll be flying in next week on a one-way ticket, and want to be prepared to buy something last-minute at the airport if necessary. Hoping to hear some actual experiences successfully boarding (or not!) when asked to show an onward ticket.
  4. Howdy! I will be arriving in Bangkok this summer, and will need to quickly set up internet. I have a few questions for the forum experts: Will I have any problem doing this with a tourist waiver, or eventually a NON-O visa? Which provider is recommended for basic internet, no massive down/uploads? How long does it usually take to get installed? I plan to move after six months or so. Can i get a monthly or 6-month package? What about SIM adapters that plug into the laptop USB port?
