Snake
in Chiang Mai
We are getting a lot of one type of snake in the house. It is about a foot long, slender, pale yellow underneath & bright yellow & black horizontal stripes on top.Does anyone know what it is? We have a guide to Thai snakes but it is not listed in it.
Thanks in advance
According to this description it looks like a Buff-Striped Keelback (Amphiesma stolata) - one of the most harmless snakes in the world.
More information is HERE

I subscribed recently to TT&T Maxnet 3BB, 4 Mbps plan in Bangkok.
The file download speed is excellent, I can download files from America at 400 kilobytes per second or more.
But I don't do a lot of file downloads anyway.
What is more important is the web browsing speed.
And this is where Maxnet is very bad indeed.
Many web sites in Europe, Asia and America are being opened very slowly.
For the past 5 days it is even slower than before.
In the evening time the latency to some overseas hosts is as high as 10 seconds.
It results in a very long waiting time to open a website, sometimes 30 or 40 seconds or more...
Unfortunately True Internet is not available in my condo.

Hello there,
Did anyone notice that the TT&T Maxnet web browsing speed has deteriorated dramatically over the last 5 days?
On the other hand the file download speed is still good, no problem.
This problem affects only the web browsing speed, most of the websites in Europe and China are being opend very slowly. The latency with Russian sites is around 10 seconds!
I am in Bangkok on 3BB Maxnet 4 Mbps.
The ADSL modem is from Maxnet: Huawei SmartAX MT880 with original firmware as it comes from TT&T (I did not upgrade the firmware).
And I don't use any torrents, I don't even have any bittorrent software installed.
The local Speedtest is producing excellent results though:
Download Speed: 3990 kbps (498.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 506 kbps (63.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

I have done quite a number of Tracroute tests over the past 2 days.
I noticed a very chaotic routing to nodes in Europe, Asia and America.
What happens is that one of the Maxnet routers (mx-ll-58.147.0-69.static.tttmaxnet.com [58.147.0.69] or mx-ll-58.147.0-73.static.tttmaxnet.com [58.147.0.73]) which is within 2 or 3 hops from my "default gateway" or even the "default gateway" itself would decide to route the packets directly over the long path to the destination network segment (probably in an attempt to save the cost TT&T may want to use some cheap satellite link for overseas traffic).
However the remote router overseas for some unknown reason would not direct the packets by the short path to the destination host which is on the same network segment but rather decide to return the packets back to the Maxnet network in Thailand. This results in a very high latency and payload. After that the packets are being directed to their destination over the normal long path.
I have never seen this kind of routing before. Is it normal?
Are there any Internet routing gurus here in the Forum? Please advise.
Below are two recent Tracroute results (one is for a popular host in Moscow, Russia and the other one is for a well-known host in Shenzhen, China).

Good news.
What about the old Nong Khai immigration office? No any changes over there?
Why didn't you apply for a 1 year extension of stay?

Try the sponsors on TV and do not broadcast it.
I am sorry I don't understand what you mean by "sponsors on TV", how to find a reputable sponsor?

You will probably get all sorts of kooks ringing ur numbers trying to get a slice of that 70 million action
That's why I want to deal only with a reputable real estate agency and I need your advice. What precautions need to be made?

A foreign businessman from Europe will come to Thailand on this coming Thursday, the 26th of November.
He asked me to help him find 2 luxury beachfront villas for purchase in Huahin area.
His budget for each villa is from 17 to 34 Million Thai Baht.
The total budget is nearly 70 Million Thai Baht.
Can anyone recommend me a reputable real estate agency in Huahin or Bangkok? The expected comission is from 3% to 5% on the purchase price.
Any advice will be very much appreciated.
Please write to email removed per forum rules, please call or PM or call my mobile 086-861-8833.
Thank you.

My CAT CDMA connection may not be that great, but at least it is normally around 200kbs when connected to a UK website and rarely drops below 100.
Do you mean that the file transfer rate is 200 Kilobytes per second?
When I was using EV-DO "Revision 0" (maximum download speed 2.4 Mbps) 2 years ago in CAT CDMA network in the North East of Thailand (Udon Thani, Nongkhai) I was able to download files at 215 Kilobytes per second.
Now CAT CDMA has upgraded its 3G network in Thailand to EV-DO "Revision A" (maximum download speed 3.1 Mbps) and we can download files even faster, at 300 Kilobytes per second...
When I was using HSDPA connection in Singapore (3G GSM network) the downlink file transfer rate was only 20 to 50 Kilobytes per second.
It proves that EV-DO is a better technology than HSDPA, and there is in fact a very good 3G network in Thailand in the form of CAT CDMA which was launched 3 years ago.
In this respect Thailand is far ahead of China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, Pakistan, Bangladesh (the countries where CDMA is popular).
Actually CAT CDMA was one of the first 3G networks in South East Asia. But very few people know about that.
So, don't wait for HSDPA (3G GSM network) in Thailand, just go and subscribe to CAT CDMA EV-DO unlimited plan at 790.- Baht per month.
Waiting for HSDPA (3G GSM network) in Thailand may take 2 or 3 years more...

I believe the Hutch numbers include their voice customers, not sure if they sell EVDO data ?
Hutch has been selling EV-DO data for 2 years already, but it is available in selected areas of Bangkok and Pattaya. They don't want to advertise this service very much until the whole Hutch service area is covered with EV-DO. The fact is that Hutch CDMA network is very old so they need to replace the transceivers at every base station, not so fast.

Why are we even talking about WiMAX? This is a technology that never flew. The big players Nortel etc have canceled their WiMAX development because it has become clear that implementing a WiMAX infrastructure is technically infeasible. WiMAX mobile and WiMAX fixed lines systems are not even compatible. This WiMAX is like a buzz word that they think will make them look clever and high tech when in fact WiMAX is dated, and effectively obsolete now.
I don't think that WiMax or anything like that is really necessary as soon as we have CAT CDMA with its EV-DO "Revision A" data service at 3.1 Mbps right now.
It can be easily upgraded to EV-DO "Revision B" with typical download speed reaching 14.7 Mbps in the future.
There is a great potential in CAT CDMA network.
Unfortunately this potential has not been explored to full extent so far due to a poor management of CAT CDMA network...
3G is already here in Thailand for 3 years, but very few people know about that.
Forget about HSDPA in Thailand. Even if it is available after 2 or 3 years the cost will be much higher than the similar EV-DO conection from CAT CDMA.
-
I'm afraid Thailand is not ahead of anyone with it as others have opted to go directly GSM based 3G and gone for so called 3.5G with HSPA
We can not compare apples and oranges.
I was actively using HSDPA connection in Singapore.
The fact is that the actual download speed is much lower than expected, even lower than CAT CDMA.
Many people have been disappointed with the poor performance of HSDPA.
Currently CDMA with it's EV-DO data service "revision A" is much superior than the current implementation of HSDPA in any GSM network.
Take a look at the overwhelming success of CDMA in India and Indonesia!
CDMA technology can provide lower call rates with better overall performance as compared to GSM.

The NTC has earmarked just 2.3Ghz range to Wimax and people wonder why Thailand will never have a 1st world technology infrastructure!
The lack of foresight and planning is staggering! No country in the world has given the entire 2.5 AND 2.6Ghz spectrums to a bloody broadcaster! Even Laos has reserved these spectrums hence why there is 3 or 4 WiMax service providers.
Why say anything about 4G?!? They can't even plan for WiMax (~3.5g) - so just what happens if WiMax becomes the accepted 4G standard??
I quite agree with you. It's been all talk and no action for years. I wonder how and when there will even be 3G here not to talk of 3.5G or 4G for that matter. I believe it's all part of a game plan to keep people tied to True's and other epileptic super slow speed internet connections.
In fact 3G has been available in Thailand for 3 years already in the form of CDMA2000 1x EV (CAT CDMA network) but very few pople are aware of this unfortunately due to a very poor marketing strategy of CAT CDMA.
EVDO is a 3G technology used in CDMA networks. And Thailand is 3 years ahead of China, India, Indonesia. In fact Thailand was one of the first countries in South East Asia to launch EVDO service!
But very few people know about that...
Thailand has to learn from India and Indonesia where CDMA is extremely popular due to a clever marketing policy.
There is a great potential in CAT CDMA network. Now EVDO Revision A is up and running with theoretical download speed of 3.1 Mbps and upload speed of 1.8 Mbps.
This fully conforms to 3G standard.
This kind of speed will not be available in any GSM network in Thailand in the next 2 or 3 years...

Its only one way for him: extradition. It will happen sooner or later as US is much stronger on the ground in Thailand than Russia.
Do you want to say that if "US is much stronger on the ground in Thailand than Russia", it means that CIA and FBI can do whatever they want in Thailand and give orders to Thai government? Thai government has never obeyed orders from the US.
Thailand government is clever enough to balance between Russia and US.

This good enough?
Wow, this is the best map of Thailand I have ever seen! Thank you very much.

The CAT CDMA network coverage is very good.
Are you sure? It seems to me that only about 5% of Thailand is covered according to that link.
Well, according to the CAT CDMA network coverage map which is a bit hypothetical it looks as if 100% of the whole Thailand is covered, they have roaming with Hutch CDMA network in Bangkok and central Thailand including Pattaya.
As far as I know CAT CDMA EV-DO 2.4 Mbps data service is working in Samui and Phuket too.
-
Been in South Africa the past 5 months, soon to return to Samui...
While here I have been using a 3G HSDPA modem on my laptop. Heaven
What is the status currently in Thailand with this service? Is it available, how good/bad is it. Coverage and providers? Don't really want to go back to ADSL again....
As far as I know HSDPA data service is not yet available in Thailand so far. Please corect me if I am wrong.
But anyway 3G is already working in Thailand!
CAT CDMA is a 3G network. Although it is using the CDMA2000 1x EV-DO technology which is not compatible with GSM.
The CAT CDMA network coverage is very good.
I was using an EV-DO modem (Sierra Wireless Aircard) in the CAT CDMA network in Udon Thani and Nongkhai.
This EV-DO modem can achieve data download speed of 2.4 Mbps.
Please see the screenshot of the speed test I have done in Udon Thani (North East of Thailand).

CDMA in Thailand is a dead end road today. And the road will soon be completely closed
It is hard to believe that CDMA network in Thailand may be ever closed down. The CAT CDMA network is already deployed, it is up and running. It is one of the most sophisticated CDMA networks in the world. Millions of dollars are already invested in this project.
Tuesday, 20 May 2008CAT to bolster CDMA network
CAT Telecom will spend THB800 million (USD25 million) this year to expand the coverage and data transmission capacity of its CDMA2000 1x network in 51 provinces, reports Thai newspaper The Nation. The expansion will focus on northern and rural areas not covered by fixed line broadband services, said board spokesman Pongsapat Pongcharoen, following the board's approval of the investment last Friday. Of the total, THB220 million will be used to triple maximum data transmission speeds to 3Mbps and increase network capacity to serve 500,000 data users. The remainder is earmarked for coverage expansion, said president Phisal Jorphochaudom. The 'CAT CDMA' branded provincial service, which offers 3G 1xEV-DO high speed wireless data coverage in selected areas, currently has just 40,000 voice and data users. State-owned CAT has yet to reach a final agreement with Hutchison Telecom International Ltd (HTIL), its joint venture partner in Hutchison CAT Wireless Multimedia, on a planned nationwide integration of their respective 1x/EV-DO networks.
There is a news that CAT Telecom now wants to sell its CAT CDMA network to Hutch or somebody else.
Not surprisingly, the Chinese telecom giant ZTE wants to take over the CAT CDMA network with all its assets.

According to some sources the requirements for Non-Immigrant Retirement Visa "O-A" have been relaxed now.
- You can enter Thailand on any type of visa including the tourist one.
- While in Thailand you can apply for Non-Immigrant Retirement Visa "O-A" on the spot.
- You need to be over 50 years old.
- No medical certificate, no any proof of funds, no police clearance.
Can someone throw more light on this? Is this really working?
- You can enter Thailand on any type of visa including the tourist one.

I'm just going to be watching this thread....however, I do know that Hutch/CAT use the 2000 band, rather than the 2100 that's common in the rest of the world (or is it vice versa?).
As far as I know both Hutch and CAT CDMA networks are operating in the 800 MHz band. Someone told me that there is also another CDMA network in Thailand which is operating on 450 MHz.
Laos is using only CDMA 450 MHz.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you.
