I'm in the US. I wired some money to my Bangkok Bank account so I could transfer it to a friend in BKK. I did this about a year ago. During the process it sent an OTP to my Thai (DTAC) number. I put my DTAC SIM back in my iPhone in order to get the OTP. Now unfortunately I've lost my DTAC SIM. Any idea how I can transfer money from my BKK account to my friend's SCB acct from the US without a Thai SIM card? (Sticky problem.) I guess I'll wait for Thai business hours and request a replacement SIM from DTAC.

Kind of a silly question I guess...but I've done this twice recently, after always using distilled drinking water previously. Well, I haven't died (obviously), but I'm kinda wondering if the bit of indigestion I've been feeling lately could be from this, or something else. Seems like it would be OK to use tap water (which I normally don't drink, but have always used for brushing teeth, with no apparent issues), because, 1) the water gets boiled, which would kill bacteria, and 2) not much water stays on the egg after I pull it out of the pot anyway (I use a spoon with holes in it). But I know little about the tap water here, nor have I ever been very adept at science and biology, etc. Anyone able to cite some data about this? Thx -- BTW, I live in BKK and was going to post this in the BKK forum...but this new 'asean now' site appears to have changed the BKK subforum. The categories there now (see below), don't seem to be appropriate for this sort of post, whereas before I could discuss pretty much anything Bangkok related there: Bangkok News Bangkok Events & Offers Sanitized Businesses in Bangkok

I drove from BKK to south Jomtien to take an intensive sailing course on April 10. The course lasted 11 days. Since then, I've been relaxing and catching up on things in my hotel here. Now I'm considering what's next. I could very well be wrong but, I think I saw that driving (/traveling), between provinces is "discouraged," but not banned? So, if I wanted to drive back to BKK, I wouldn't have to go through any checkpoints which could potentially be a hassle (or worse)? However, I have no pressing reason to return to BKK. So, maybe I'd be wiser to (or may as well), stay away a while longer...maybe find a room to rent by the week, or even month? Any helpful info/advice appreciated. Thx
