  1. Blu Ray movies were cracked about 2 months after the tech was released. Was pretty funny after Sony had boasted how it was "uncrackable". However that is still a very low price for a copied disc, I saw them for around 300 each in Fortune IT mall, becareful they arent fobbing you off with just a regular dvd.

  2. "Especially if you are a guest in our country"

    I get so bored of hearing that along with Thais saying 'MY country' when talking about Thailand. It's pathetic and shows obvious insecurity issues. I would never say to any non-Brit in the UK 'you are a guest here' nor do I refer to it as 'MY' country, it's just sad and a little bit paranoid too....

  3. So Lost season 4 finished a few months ago now, apparently the official release date for the dvd set isnt until Xmas and me and my gf are itching to see it. I was wondering if it was available in MBK or anywhere like that yet? Also my gf can barely understand english so we always need subs, problem is though we find that with many 'local' versions that thai subtitles are either incomplete, a few mins behind the audio or complete garbage. Anyone know if the subs are ok too?

  4. I used to teach in a private language school at the weekends here in Bangkok. Most of the kids were from fairly wealthy families and many went to private schools. Whenever we did anything related to world geography I would be able to spin the globe, stop it and then ask a kid to find Thailand. There were several occasions when the kid would have to give up after 2-3 minutes. I'm sorry but you can dress that up whoever you like about not needing to know about the outside world but being unable to find your own country on the world map is just pathetic.

  5. You don't say what programme you are using therefore I cannot download your balance sheet, however, your balance should show income on one side (bank loan etc) and ALL outgoings on the other. A loan of 5mill would attract interest charges and presumably have a set repayment rate each month and it is this repayment rate grossed up for twelve months that should appear on the outgoings. A simple excel sheet would do this for you.

    Sorry those files are MS Wordd (2003)

    In the income statement under 'Operating expenses' I have the 1 years payback of the principle of 1 million and then under 'Interest expenses' I have interest paymnets of THB 80,000.00 (8%).

  6. Ok so I am looking at buying a second hand Ipod (Id prefer a Nano) and Ive seen some ok prices here on ThaiVisa but Ive also been looking on Ebay and I am seeing some for around $40, this seems very cheap but Ive heard people say stuff about their insides being replaced with cheap crap.

    Does anyone have any experience with buying second hand ipods here?

    How can I check if it has been tampered with?

  7. Hello,

    Is anyone on this forum good at finance? I am doing an entrepreneurship class at an international uni here in Bangkok, I am currently putting the final business plan together and I am having some problems with the financial statements. My main problem is the balance sheet:

    The balance sheet is at Dec 31st 2009 and it has 5 million baht in the current liabilities for the bank loan. My problem is that the bank loan is made at the start of 2009 (January) and throughout the year 1 million baht is paid back so the loan in current liabilities should be 4 million....but then it doesn't balance :o

    I have played around with this for a while but don't seem to be able to figure it out, can anyone help?

  8. P.s Anyone here getting 'Brothers in Arms: hel_l's Highway' on the 23rd? I cant wait for it to come out and looking for someone to do online co-op with.

  9. Might wanna check your NAT status too (run a test), make sure it's open.

    Also if you go to Xbox.com, then in the top left click 'International' and choose a country in Asia (like Singapore) then go to the forums you can often find people making threads with lists of gamertags from this region.

  10. Yeah totally depends on the game, I play Bad Company a lot and never any lag, I think its cos the games are run through Ea servers. COD4 is usually ok, GTA4 is ok once I actually get into a game but getting in is the hard part and is sometimes impossible.

  11. I have a Compaq Presario C700 laptop and I left the mains power supply at uni today :D

    I must use my laptop tomorrow so will have to go buy a new one, does anyone know how much they are and where I can get one? I live near the Mall Ramkamhaeng.

    Only 41% battery power left! No internet for me tonight! :o
