Hey folks,

I just got another lead for satellites. Call Khun Tarini at 02 992-7302. She speaks English (don't talk too fast), and has a shop at Zeer Rangsit and sells those PSI (for 13.999.-- Baht!), but also has a, what she said, much better version where you get more English channels, for 22,500 Baht. I'll check it out this Wednesday and will post my findings here.

Dear Jeff1, dear Monty,

thanks to both of you. Jeff1: I just called Forward Satellite Co., but the girl on the mobile didn't understand English, so my wife talked with her. What they sell, is what everyone else sells: PSI. If you want ALL Thai channels as well (for your wife & kids) they charge you 5,000 Baht extra.

Monty: Yes, that's the biggest one, I now understand. For us, there is just one option and that's a movable 213 cm dish for right now, in promotion at 14,500 Baht. www.thaisat.net is one of their dealers and has a website also in English. Go right here http://www.thaisat.net/productdetail.asp?lang=en&pid=27803.

To thaivisa.com: thanks for a great place to be in contact with the expat falmily!

Thanks to all of you!

Hi everyone,

I've been a customer of UBC for over 10 years now and realize how much I spent for those mediocre programs where commercials are cut into a still picture.

I have taken a bold step today and cancelled UBC effective June 1st. Now, I would like to get a good deal on a satellite installation with a movable dish. I know that prices have come down quite a lot.

Does anyone know about this field and has had good experiences with some product? The only supplier I know as of today is www.thaisat.net.

Any suggestions welcome to

To all the naggers who have responded to my post:

there will always be those who never recognize an opportunity. They are the same who always think they are right. They are the same bunch who never get anywhere in life and whose main activity is trying to upset those who are trying to help others. I just wanted to show you a way to call your family cheaper back home. Why don't you just continue paying the same overprized call rates here and I enjoy my cheap rates alone.

And please ask the moderator to remove my post ... to make you happy. It won't bother me.

cdnvic,

you sound pretty sarcastic. Been planning on that or do you always do this in forums? Go and check it out first and then complain.

By the way, 1cellnet doesn't use calling cards.

My mom is 82 and her heart is working at 50%. I'm happy to be able to call her now much more often.

Cheers!

Yes, this is good news for all expats in Thailand who want to call their folks back home at extremely reasonable rates. 4 Baht/minute is, of course, not to Papua New Guinea or Zimbabwe, but to destinations like the USA, Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Hongkong and others. Those who are interested can contact Dario at 01 495-7355 or have a closer look at www.1cellnet.com/wallstreet.

What I do not understand as well is the following fact:

Last week (I guess, it was) some official from the WHO came to Thailand to investigate the situation and within one day (!) he declared that Thailand was free of bird flu disease.

I do not want to make any assumptions, but one doesn't have to be very smart to get the picture here...

Thanks for a job well done, but it should have happened at least a decade earlier... What did the CIA do during the last decade? Just spending taxpayer's money? But, don't miss the point: Saddam Hussein was a tyrant to his own people. The REAL danger is Usama Bin Laden & Associates. They can strike anytime, anywhere and they can kill you or me, or any of your loved ones. Let's go and get them and rid the planet of the worst danger!
