  1. Debit cards that come with a local bank account may not be a secure option. I only have experience with Kasiklorn but I suspect other banks do not operate differently.

    Once the cashier swipes you debit card and enters the amount it is immediately deducted from your account, even before you signed the slip.

    Not a real problem, except if your card was stolen, because the thief can take as much as he want. A sure way of limiting your eventual losses is to have only on your account the amount you a prepared to lose.

  2. I'm just having CTH installed now, mainly for premier football, is there an online TV guide that shows what's on etc ?

    There is a schedule search facility...

    http://www.cth.co.th/en/schedule/

    ...but it is a little limited.

    Indeed, VERY limited. But there is also good news regarding the BPL info: a separate website CTHBPL.com.

  3. While we are at it, what do you reckon is a good coffee machine with grinder on top? At work , we had 2 Siemens and even if it is German technology, they were both often broken.

    Here in Thailandd they are at around 50,000 baht. What about Bon Cafe and Severin coffee machine with incorporated grinder? Are they any good?

    Don't know about these, but I bought last year last year a Solis Master 5000 (around 40K) (Swiss made) from company in BKK. and I'm satisfied. They mainly sell to offices, restaurants and hotels. Google it.

  4. And don't forfet that CTH has now an additional channel with the Sky Sports Team commentators ( John Dykes & Friends): BPL News, Football Today, both almost daily and Fanzone, ...

    This channel also shows the Sky selection with comments on weekends.

  5. I dumped TrueVisions and got CTH. Not having an extensive choice - for my taste - of English spoken programs is sometimes a blessing: No TV can be a welcome experience.

    Sky News was a revelation: how to present news in an attractive way. All EPL matches in HD is also great, but I miss tennis.

    CTH workdwith subcontractors and that is I think the reason why the 'end bill' is different between different locations. I did not have to pay installation, but had to pay VAT on the contract, but not on the deposit. Local subcontractor is also Thai only.

  6. Some things went wrong, a lot can improve, but I'm grateful all matches were shown, with English comments and all in HD!

    And yes, TrueVisions did a better job with all the money they stole received from us. But HTC will improve and soon I will forget how clumsy they were at the start.
