Exactly . Agree 100%.

A court dissolves an entire party , the one in power mind you .

(Well it could have been the army arresting all the MPs same philosophy)

Then the opposition can take over , no general election .

Surrealist

Hmm, I thought the party in power did some things that were against the law? Could that be?

Alright . They voted themselves in power thai style with a little help from the courts .

Its perfectly legal .... in Thailand .

Coz havent heard of any other democratic country IN THE WORLD where such thing have happened .

Anyway whats the point to argue now .

PS Edit : If anyone here has heard of a similar story outside Thailand please provide a link .

Germany 1982 http://motherearthtravel.com/history/germany/history-20.htm No new general election, but a new coalition formed. A normal democratic process.

Abhisit was put in power by those who were legally elected... thus he is democratically elected.... why do some people have an issue with this.. are they completely ignorant..?

Thanks... say it again and again until people understand...

Complete nonsense. The fingerprints are being taken for some time now, though.

What you need is a 3 month vacation in India

They showed me around several places in Bangkok when I was searching 4 years ago. Just a standard company.

Here is a less than professional review - the guy seems to like it. His info is complete nonsense, though - this is a 16 bit device, CD quality sound. The surround output is headphone surround. This may give a cheap and cheerful sound boost to older machines (USB 1.1!) but newer ones have much better sound cards built-in or available as upgrades. Not for 900 Baht, though.

Tell us something new

The shipping agent is correct. The Non-Immigrant O-A ("Retirement") visa does not allow you to import your personal effects duty-free. In my case an estimate was made, a list of more valuable items was hand-written in my passport, including items I didn't bring (e.g. TV) Obviously they didn't even bother to look at the inventory list - they just wanted to collect a lump sum, maybe based on the volume of the shipment. And that's what they did.

Time to fly Thai Airways - only 4,175 Baht. At least that's an evening flight...

Early May is a borderline case for going there. The Simlilan Islands are a national park and closed for visitors from May 15 to November 1. Information on weather conditons can be found here.

Please note that the electronic queueing system is now operational. On entering the office get a queue number at the desk immediately to your right. Then wait your turn at counters 18 and 19 on the other side of the entrance.

Suggest to move this to "Farang Pub - fun, entertainment and Expat life".

Thai Customs website:

2. Prohibited items

They are goods for which either the import into or export out of the Kingdom is prohibited, e.g.,

...

Counterfeit goods and pirated items

...

Take a look at the Happy/DTAC site. All the features you want are possible.

Bad quality and decidedly dodgy, to put it mildly. Plus they want you to pay for downloads

Not only do you need a karaoke player software (here is one) but your CD/DVD-ROM drive has to support CD+G. Not all of them do. To find out run the free Nero Info Tool.

DRM-free MP3s?! Get real dude...

You won't find any through legitimate distribution channels.

Absolutely wrong. Amazon and other sites like Emusic offer MP3s for paid download. No DRM.

I'm downloading from iTunes with US and German accounts without problems, so I assume a UK account would work as well. I'm not aware that they sell in MP3 format but the DRM-free files can easily be converted to MP3.

Avatar = Pocahontas + Dances With Wolves + Special Effects

You must have been reading some reviews because I read that somewhere. Film critics always try to compare current movies to some movie in the past.

To be fair to Avatar, it cannot be paralleled to any other movie in history. It is revolutionary. A ground breaker that will send movie making to a new level. It is also the most expensive movie ever made, at $300 million.

A common criticism by some critics is that the story line and dialogue were a bit thin. I disagree.

This movie was produced to be watched in 3D. I wouldn't recommend anyone watches it in 2D because you will lose too much as the production relies a lot on depth. I've already heard complaints about the 2D version.

I watched Avatar before I made my remark. I don't have 3D vision and I thought the story was weak indeed. Just impressive design, all flashy and no substance. That's what I think...

Happened to me only one time. They can advance the meter by pushing a button somewhere. I mailed in the complaint form to see what would happen - nothing. Time for the airport express to start.
