Financial benefits a really arguable here. Taxi cost about 350 thb door to door. For a single traveller, that could make it. For 2, that starts to be a little more difficult. 3 or 4 and it is definitely more expensive. How many travellers are travelling alone ???

Anything that's not a taxi is good .

Tap water filtered with a Pure brand two-stage filter/UV works fine for me.

I've been using True ADSL for 18 months. This morning was the second time that the ADSL line was down for an hour or so. I consider that a pretty good record. You can report service outage here or by calling 1177-02-(and your number).

Should be this one.

Point it out to the waiter and say you want it as your main dish

The shrines dedicated to Hindu gods or any other deities or spirits have nothing to do with Buddhism. But it is not forbidden for Buddhists to pay their respects there or pray for good fortune or make wishes. They are part of popular belief structures and supposed to be powerful. It's as simple as that.

I doubt that the Mormon boys will have much success. I have to ask if they looked exactly like this:

Just so I can stay away from them...

Before buying a new router, how can I upgrade the firmware in my Zyxel True-branded P-660HW-T1 v2 router? Is it even possible?

...

It's not possible. As you already noticed, the True firmware has the option for an upgrade removed. Just buy a proper router.

1. Clean out the fridge with a strong mixture of vinegar and water. Then put a fridge deodorizer in.

2. If you want to waste lots of energy and money, sure, leave the airco on all the time. I use electric fans only. Saves an amazing amount of money (for Thailand).

I had a fast and painless experience with my retirement extension (800k based) at Suan Plu today. Arrived at 08:10, number 9 in line (seems I was lucky and got a queue number that was returned), processing started at 08:25, my number was called at 08:55. The process was quick, including the new photo taking and fingerprinting procedure. Obtaining a re-entry permit also proceeded well. Total time spent: 1 hour, 45 minutes, 30 minutes less than last year. I have to say that it seemed unusually quiet, many seats available. It started to get busy when I left - good that I'm an early riser .

I just read a fasinating article about a North Korean restaurant in Phnom Penh, complete with NK Music and NK waitresses. As a long time student of Kim Jung Il's wacky world, I was super excited when I read that there was also a branch in Bangkok!

My research only reveals that it is close to the NK Embassy in Pattanakarn district. (where is that?)

What can you tell me about this place? Any info is appreciated especially an address or phone number.

I must say that I am desperate to visit as I will be returning to farangland for an extended period of time on April 20th.

Thank you for any information you can give me!

Update: a link to find it on Google Earth:

Just trying to get a queue number for August 11 but nothing appears after Select Queue in the fields: Queue, Date, Time, Counters, Reference No. Error message is Data not found. Did anybody get this to work yet? Thanks in advance.

Sorry about your bad experience. Please do not rely on any statements on Thai DVDs about English subtitles. Very few actually have them. You may be interested in the Taiwan DVD of Love of Siam which has English and Chinese subtitles. This is the long Director's Cut. The US version will be out later this year. Not sure which version that will be.

There might be a way to make your player region-free. Take a look for your model here.

I bought a Dazer-II. It works with the dogs who annoy me here but it doesn't work on all dogs. Trained police dogs will not be deterred and some dogs just cannot hear it. Worth a try, though.

If you're dealing with packs you might need more than one . And carry that big stick, also.

True offers several packages. If your fixed line is from True and you have either a TrueVisions or a TrueMove subscription, the prices in the right-hand column apply. All prices are subject to 7% VAT. I use the 4Mbps overseas/5 Mbps local package and I'm satisfied. Note that not every line will support 8Mbps speed - mine doesn't.

Anyone been to a resort with a private pool? Any recommandation would be nice and not too expensive would be great..

I enjoyed this one, great pool and I thought it was good value.

What kind of cyber crime would you like to commit?

With the VAT added in, UBC and True internet always have a few satangs trailing baht owed.

Now, it normal for most businesses to round up, but most aren't monthly contracts, with millions of subscribers. What the local True clerks do is to take the extra satang, but give me a reciept for the amount on the bill, not the actual amount recieved.

Is this what everyone else experiences?

Yup, it sure is. Solution: pay by credit card and it will be the exact amount.

I'm very happy with my Nokia 5800. It has all the features you want at a reasonable price. It comes with a stylus, but the on-screen keyboard can be switched to fullscreen, so you don't need it. Good software available, including GPS navigation and map for Thailand from Garmin.

Your mobile should have an option to enable or disable sending of the caller ID. Go to the settings menu for calls, disable it and call another mobile to check if it works. This is country-independent, but the roaming network must support it.

Not supported in Thailand, if shut caller ID of, calls will not go through!

Just tried, the call did go through, but the caller ID was showing even though it was switched off. Thanks for making me aware of this .
