If you can't find any Poles will Brits or Yanks do instead (apologies - couldn't resist)

Just place a phone call to the lovelies in Sixth Sense and they will sort out the ghosts for you (however you must expect lots of fake evil laughter, drama and A-Team style gun fights)

I'm not entirely sure how my nationality affects my choice of bank but for the record I'm not an American

Many thanks for the info folks - I'll mull it over for a few days before making a choice

Hi,

I'm looking to open a bank account in Chiang Mai - I have a work permit so hopefully that will make things easier

At the moment I'm looking for people's advice/recommendations for which bank to use

I'm sure that one bank won't match everything but some of the things I'm considering (in no particular order) are

Which bank has the most and best location of ATMs across the city (I understand thee is a fee if you draw money from an ATM from a different bank)

Which bank has the best online banking services (I have to transfer money to a couple of different Thai bank accounts during the month)

Which bank is easiest to get a visa debit and/or credit card from

Thanks in advance

I don't know if you have a smart phone but there is a Major Cineplex app that has the times on it

If the purpose is to backup RAW files, you might be able to save yourself a lot of time by burning them to a blu-ray disk and mailing it back to your home.  Taking up a table at coffee shops and restaurants to upload your photos might seem like a clever strategy, but is that how you really how you want to spend your holiday in Chiang Mai?  Even if you can get a consistent upload speed to your server of 2 Mb/s (unlikely), it's going to take 66 hours to upload 30GB of data.

I often wonder if the discussion amongst the native Indians went something like this

"Should we help them?"

"They look harmless enough"

"What's the worst that could happen?"

Thanks for the info - we'll be going by car so maybe 17:30 to 18:00 might be a better idea

What is a good time to head out for this? I know it gets crazy busy out there - I see you guys are leaving at just after 16:00 is that a reasonable time or are you getting out there early to grab a good spot and set up you equipment?

Not a chance. Just as I had predicted in an earlier thread. I would have bet the bank on it.

 

I have a funny feeling that if number 1 had got 27,001 votes then number 3 may have got at least 27,100

I remember the halcyon rates of 71 baht for a quid - now hovering around the 50 baht mark

I know in the past me and the missus have circumvented this by going to a restaurant and bringing along our own drinks - are there any bars showing the footie on Saturday where me and my mate can do the same?

Something I don't understand and maybe someone can help with.  

 

If number 3 was already mayor, why did he quit and several days later decide to run for the office he just quit?

 

I understand he wanted to make merit and show respect for his late uncle, I think it was, by going into the monkhood.

But making merit and showing respect could just as easily have been done and he could have kept the job that was entrusted to him.  If he was doing it for Buddah, ok Buddah would have known, but the way he did it looks like he did it for public recognition of what he was doing. 

 

It was good that he was going into the monkhood, but the time in could have been measured in hours, only to then announce that he wanted his old job back.   One that the people gave to him and he then threw it away.

 

Why would anyone vote for someone who gave up the job they gave him and he threw away??   Thats what I don't understand.  Little help with this please.

 

 

My understanding (which could well be incorrect) is that if he had completed his term in office he would be be ineligible to stand for election again (similar to American presidents)

However by resigning early he was able to stand again

As members of his family apparently hold several other elected positions I can't see him being allowed to lose

Not sure how it works in other countries but when I last renewed my uk passport I did it early and so my current passport runs for 10 years 7 months - the issue date is September 07 (when I renewed it) but the expiry date is April 18 (10 years after my previous passport was due to expire - April 08)

Actually you would think that but there are several post in the Chiang Mai forum of Cockroach Visa discussing the merits of the different recipes of boric acid available at various households in the neighbourhood - lots of arguments and nasty posts - plus an obligatory rain post

Damn - misread the title - thought it was a post about beers

Thanks Null,

I might try going down the network range route

Currently the home and business have their own internet providers - 1 is true and the other is 3BB - so each location has a separate incoming line and router

Occasionally one of the services stops working (T.I.T after all ) and for those situations I am planning on running a spare Ethernet cable between the 2 locations and leaving it unplugged

When one service goes down I'll use the cable to connect the working modem to both the switch and the AirPort

Once both services are up and running again then the spare cable will be disconnected and the switch and the airport will be attached to separate modems again

$40 isn't the end of the world to throw an extra router into mix but (hopefully) most of the time it would be redundant

Hi,

I have a modem that I want to connect to a switch to provide internet connections to my wife's business and to an AirPort Extreme to provide internet connections to our apartment

I want to set up the AirPort Extreme so that it cant't be accessed by computers that are connected to the business switch - I don't want the business users being able to access data that is on the AirPort Extreme hard disk, nor do I want them being able any data on the computers that connect to the AirPort Extreme (these computers have got shared drives on them so that we can share photos, etc)

Does anyone know if this is possible?

I've posted this on the apple forum as I want to secure an apple device but please move to the general it forum if the solution is a general network configuration issue

Thanks in advance

Cheers for the info guys

With great timing my mate is arriving in CM on November 1st - from what I remember of elections the bars will be dry from 18:00 on the 1st

I normally stock up with a few beers at home but what happens in the tourist areas such as Loi Kroh - is my mate going to be marooned for a couple of days?
