Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels!

Charge them $15,000 a day for escort...should cover things.

Had a nice walk around last night at Fashion Island. No Galaxy S phone anywhere! Lots of HTC Desire HDs though. Looks nice, but nobody has one turned on that I can play with a bit....which is something I like to do. I don't know, might splurge tomorrow....one thing is it seems so big.

Thanks for all the ideas, I'll be looking around carefully for a little while, no need to jump in and buy something right away when my iPhone still works perfectly, but I need a new toy soon!

They are accredited now by ISO 9001? Bizarre! Oddly, no mention of the agencies that really matter in being accredited with in Thailand and Asia: ISAT, WASC, and EARCOS.

Hi All

Well, I have had my iPhone 3 now for over 2 1/2 years, and it has served me well. I believe the time has come for me to get something different, and am quite interested in going Android.

The Samsung Galaxy S looks very nice! Are there better phones than that in Thailand? I will look around a lot, and have been eying some Motorolas and HTCs online, but don't know if those companies officially have models out here in Thailand. Are the Evo 4G and the Droid X available here?

If you have any recommendations for phones in Thailand of the same caliber as the iPhone 4 or the Samsung Galaxy S, I would love to hear it! Most preferable would for me to be able to trial run a phone for a couple weeks, but I know that is not possible, so I would appreciate local reccomendations based on my criteria.

Thanks

Tom

Most descent Thais would not be seen dead in Pattaya , All Abuse of people women or men at any age for sex is wrong , I take it many people (falang) can speak Thai. When you know some of these so called low life hores and prostitutes you will find some genuine people . many do not want to be there and are there because of circumstance. So who is worse those who use them or them for being there.

That being said, you can get hookers of all ages and genders absolutely everywhere in Thailand. Pattaya, Cowboy, Nana, Patpong are just the tip of the tip of the iceberg as far as prostitution goes here. I live in a pretty much all Thai part of Bangkok, on the outskirts, in an area where middle class gated communities are in the majority. I could walk 30 minutes in pretty much any direction from my housing estate and easily find hundreds of prostitutes if I wanted to (the thought skeeves me out to no end however). Just they way things roll here in LOS.

what a lovely country!

As a child in the 50s we got caned, but it wasn,t for bad behaviour really, it was for treading on rose gardens, or fighting in the playground, or talking in class. Our discipline was taught from a baby, not hardly verbal, a look from dad was enough to put fear into you. IT'S got to be taught at HOME, correction-with love, right and wrong, the black and white, the good and the evil,--I used to hear parents say if you don't behave i'll go and get a black man-or a policeman. That is not good-but in them days it worked.

I got into just as much trouble as the next kid, but my parents never had to resort to physical punishment. Time outs and groundings were enough for me. Many of my friends who were physically punished on a regualr basis by their parents became fighters, as they saw violence as being a reasonable way to get what they wanted. My parents taught me to think about my decisions, rather than whip me because of my decisions.

As such, I find physical abuse of children as sick and sadistic, and in my many years that I taught never had the need to resort to that kind of behavior.

Always a good idea to have the laws, but I've seen many moto accidents in progress, and it is almost always that they are driving crazy and without heeding any rule that autos have to. Car drivers are supposed to coddle the boys on bikes, they just cut you off with impunity and flip you off as they go by. Not much sympathy from my side in this matter.

1 I use Daniusoft Ipad video converter (19 tax) to convert from avi to Ipad optimised MPG4 on my PC

Seems to have a little loss of visual quality.Perfectly acceptable

I converted a batch of movies during night

Why pay for a program to convert files? Handbrake (Google it) does it perfectly, and is FREE!!!!

Hi, got a nice little Mifi portable wifi device, up to 5 devices can hook up to it at once. It came with a TOT card that has 2gigs on it...just wondering after that is finished what you all feel the best deal is for pre or post paid cards, considering cost and speed. Thanks

Hey now ... the Reds are strong and POPULAR most particularly in Thaksin's homeland of Chiang Mai! There were at least 100 of them at 3 kings monument tonight!

Oooooh 100 of them. That only cost Takkie Boy about 5000 baht! :lol::lol:

Laksi IT plaza, formerly Laksi plaza, is a very pleasant place. Oodles and oodles of laptops...but not sure if they have what you are looking for. Also, Fashion Island's IT center on the 4th floor is quite large now, they have everything. Plus nice wide clean aisles, and if you get there fairly early and on the weekday, not too many people!

I like Wunderradio.

Looks nice, but 7 bucks for iphone! yeeks! I use shoutcast for my radio.....

The lame UDD supporters protested at DSI for about an hour and a half, they dispersed at noon and proceeded to Ratchaprasong intersection for their evening activities of som tum and ya dong.

Great! Glad they had fun, and see them next year for another commemoration!

wow there must be at least 20 of them!

I have a very strong 8-10 mb connection.....and this thing stutters every 15 seconds, has to rebuffer, even when setting buffer to high. Pass! Anyway, won't find the shows I like on it, they're all at torrentz and eztv ^^

Finetune works great, quite close to Pandora. Has a free iPhone and iPad app as well!

If you have an iPhone, you can download one of many apps that radiostations, many for free. I like "finetune" myself, it is like Pandora, you put in a name of an artist you like and it searches out music that would fit that feel of music....magical. then buy a pair of speakers here at a Panthip like place for about 400-500 Baht for a nice little setup, plug your phone into the hotel's wireless, and you are ready to rock! If you have a smart phone different from an iPhone, I'm sure it will have some kind of streaming music app.

I promise not to hijack this thread, but it seems to me that most of the negative remarks regarding the Kindle are answered through: The iPad!!!

Did they ever figure out who assassinated that retard? Please give them a medal!

By all means, bomber, please do blow yourself up....just don't take other people with you. Optimally, you should strap the explosives on your body, row out to sea in a little organically constructed raft, and push the button. That way you can at least feed the fish!

No jail time and a tiny fine in the case of a Red beating up an old, small PTP man

Red-shirt Actor Given Suspended Jail Term for Assault

The Criminal Court handed down a suspended one month jail sentence and a 2,000 baht fine to a pro-red shirt actor for assaulting a Pheu Thai Election Director for Surat Thani province.

Hey, hey!, hold it right there!, wasn't this bozo caught carrying and distributing weapons for the Red Shirts during the May riots???

Another Red leading the way to peace and harmony, ack ack!

With the size of my music collection it takes about 15minutes to open... and my base unit is not exactly slow either

iTunes always has been (and probably always will be) bloatware

Your computer must be pretty old...? My main library of songs, on a samsung 500 gig hard drive now, fills up about 300 of the gigs. Itunes opens it nearly instantly, maybe 10 seconds....I agree, Itunes is a pretty big program for what it does, but I find it full of really great features.
