  1. If he finds it or ever gets a new one I suggest the following I posted in an other OP:

    I have had a app on my iPhone for a long time (well 2 actually). The first is called "Find my iPhone" and it works from my computer (Mac) to give the coordinates of where my phone is if it gets lost or stolen.

    The other is called "Gotchya" and it is a Cydia app that if someone steals my phone and tries to put in a wrong password the front camera automatically takes a snap-shot and sends their face picture strait to my computer with coordinates. Then I just show the police the persons picture and give them the coordinates when they tried to use a password.

    But of $800.00 I never leave it anywhere anyways so it has NEVER been stolen.

    Can't find the app gotchya in apps ?

  2. We pay 20 baht @ the local shop, because someone in their wisdom decided to do that instead of the 15 baht that was asked.

    We only use it for cooking & coffee so it is exposed to high temperature. For drinking we buy the small bottles from Makro etc.....

    Similar , only used the large bottles for tea/coffee and cooking

    If drinking , would always buy nestle or just drink beer :)

    After reading the thread and what was meant to have happened i was about to say some people do deserve a slap when stepping out of line.

    But he was on the floor being dealt with and then more and more join in just for sport, Thai culture don't you just love it.

    Agree , they fight like packs of dogs ..

    But this guy was a pensioner ! Regardless of weather he picked a fight , you just don't do that !

  5. It could have been someone in the counting room short change the ATM cartridge.

    That wouldn't be the case , I used to work in a bank and you fill the cartridges yourself and then the ATM counts them

    One thing I notice with thailand is the ATMs are not really that secure , what is stopping someone with inside access from going to the machine and just opening it up ?

  6. Thug who had curfew relaxed by magistrates so he could go to Thailand posts his holiday snaps on Twitter - along with a very rude message to the furious readers of his local newspaper

    • Nathanial McIntosh was convicted of a 'sustained attack' on three people
    • Magistrates relaxed his curfew so he could go on month-long holiday
    • Posted pictures of his holiday branding his critics 'w******'
    • Amateur footballer, 23, boasts of his trips to pole dancing clubs and parties


    A thug who had his curfew lifted so he could go on a month-long holiday to Thailand has posted a holiday photo branding his critics 'w******'.

    Violent Nathanial McIntosh, 23, was convicted of a 'sustained attack' which included kicking and punching three terrified victims, including one woman, in Newquay, Cornwall, last August.

    He admitted using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent at Truro Magistrates in January and was given a 12-week suspended prison sentence and an eight-week curfew.

    Convicted thug Nathanial McIntosh has been boasting of his Thailand holiday after his curfew was lifted

    article-2300427-18F8F0C3000005DC-806_634

    The father sent an unrepentant taunt with a sunshine snap from the Thailand resort

    McIntosh, who had a previous conviction for assault in 2010, asked magistrates for an amendment as he had already paid for the holiday to the Asian country - and they agreed.

  10. Given the scams in Thailand would anyone risk using one of these,the operators could have a field day,they need to be maintained for a start,and it's likely those using it could end up seriously injured,I feel travel insurance won't be covering this.

    I see the appeal but I think anyone wanting to use these already has there head in the clouds.

    They are a European outfit and not Thai , so luckily no scams involved
