90% of Thai's can read English you know.

LOL 90% can't you mean or 90% of people working in the banks can, and anyway being able to read something doesn't mean you understand it.

If you don't speak any Thai at all, you can always point, but half the brilliance of Thai food is in how it's eaten - what spices to add, sauces to dip, etc. Watch those around you.

Have fun.

LOL thais aren't gourmet, they add anything they see available to their dishes making them too salty, sweet or spicy.

Only listen to what your brains tell you to add AFTER you tried the dish.

How many of you whingers on here speak a second language

i do speak two foreign languages one being english.

It all depends on the water pump you have(power consumption), do you really need to pump water during a power outage?

If you plan to take a hot shower during a power outage , these generators won't be enough, you need to have a look at 6KW and preferably diesel generators.

Classifieds are the way to go, market in here isn't simply made for second hand as everyone keeps everything until it's totally broken, outdated or simply selling stuff because of going back home.

The driver trying to flee the check point deserved what happenned to him, Mad Ali's only mistake is that being a volunteer he can't act like a police man and stop someone from running away.

always ask for the first floor when living in pattaya, might save your life

it is locked by default as far as i know, to activate gprs/edge on my phone i had to send a command to my provider( DTAC) to activate 3G i had to call the call center.

just give a try to activate data on her phone and see if it's working or not, on the other side she can also go back to a prepaid and keep the same phone number.

In Koh samui 3BB has demo kiosk with the IPTV stuff so you can go and have a look in case of doubt, it might be the same in the other main offices in different provinces?

to change a type of pemission of stay, you need at least 21 days of validity on the remaining permission of stay however to get an extension of stay based on bisuness, this requires a work permit that you cant obtain without a non-immigrant visa first(B preferably)

as in every upgrade there's a risk, if you unit is just able to be turned on and turned off and nothing else happens, it is bricked and will need JTAG service to be restored to a working state.

if it is your case, simply bring the box to the provider and it will exchange it/jtag restore it.

500 baht should be the max you should pay but of course those thai sellers will try first at 1500 baht

Hope someone will post it on youtube for those who can't attend it.

simply tell them to do this : http://www.ilo-phuket.com/legal-documents/urgent-work.html

on the other side no one will ever check if the voice had a work permit but why would you pay tax on an income derived from work if you dont have a work permit LOL

I do carry a weapon......of mass distraction

as long as windows won't see it you won't be able to install a driver, however have a look under sound, gaming in device manager, the card might be there and if so you can install/update the driver.

your provider will send you SMS in english if you set it up that way.

i have the same opinion as mat(blueIT) regarding car rental(only deal with internationnal companies avis etc...).

one of my friend rented a car in samui in nathon and ended up at the police station, this is quite an incredible story :

car was fine and contract was signed between him and the owner(a thai lady), gasoline quantity wasn't written on the contract and the rent was from 8PM to 8PM three days later.

he brought the car at 10AM(so 10 hours earlier than expected by the owner) BUT the owner complained about gas missing while gas quantity wasn't mentioned in the agreement they signed and she refused to give him back his ID/passport.

he promptly went to the police station and talked with a very good english speaking officer(mister naron), wich asked the owner of the car to come to the police station right away, once she arrived, he pulled out a big file about her(many people had the same problem with her) and started to tell her she's damaging the image of thailand by acting like that and that petrol in the tank wasn't written on the contract.

in the end she had to apologize and drive him to the ferry but she refused to shake his hand LOL.

Wow, you really are a privileged member(certainly written on your ATM card)

I was starting to think that maybe there was a typo, then I went back and figured it all up again and no... That's what I'm asking for... 45,000 baht... But let me explain...

Even with the prices you have given it still comes up to 41,700. But that's without the power transformer which you can get a cheap one for somewhere between 1000-1500. But this is one of the higher quality ones that run 4000-5000 baht. Bringing me into the 45,000 range.

you can get original "copies" for that price but for original games expect to pay a little more.

Lol Xbox 360 doesn't need power adapter, the units sold here are 220V, and i'm taking about originals game in their new packaging(sealed) but you are right you can buy copies(fake discs) at 100 baht.

You have a lot of very old games in your list, these games can be sold for 200 baht on ebay or not...

15k would be a better offer IF your unit is a Jasper or a xbox slim, if it's a xenon, falcon, opus, zephyr it is worth nothing cause they get RROD(especially xenon).

On ething i learned was to never use the front brake, hit that on sand and your gone.

Lol you have to use front brake, that's certainly because of this way of thinking that honda introduced combi brake on all their bikes.

Lol i felt of my chair, are you serious?

new games are at most 1600 baht in thailand(originals) but most of them are below 1000 baht, a new xbox 360 with kinnect is 11200 , 3 extra controllers 4500 baht.

you are selling your stuff even more expensive than new.....

you don't get social security if you are director of the company.

the 15th is the last day to come back in thailand.
