theres a store selling bakery supplies located on Sukhumvit Rd near the junction of Soi Chaiyapornvittee

just to report back;

I found my way to the 'configure email client' page on the Cpanel for our domain and found the Secure SSL Settings for incoming & outgoing servers.

Incoming Server: IMAP Port: 993 or POP 3 Port: 995
Outgoing Server: SMTP Port 465 (as was advised by innerspace)

I went into my Outlook 2010 account settings and changed the details in there and selected "SSL" in the box where it asked what type of encryption. Then I sent a couple of test emails with attachments of 13MB to my colleagues. It worked. I tried from both our site offices, with ToT and 3BB.

As per your kind suggestions, I have also downloaded and installed Mozilla Thunderbird and using the same account settings (which were automatically configured, great) I was also able to send the same test emails from there too. So I'm going to familiarize myself with that and perhaps change over to it in future. I'm changing all of my colleagues' mail settings in line with the above and if they can get used to it, they all may even swap to Thunderbird (I see there is an option to 'add-on' a Thai Language pack, which would suit them).

File sharing is something that I'm going to look at next and see what is available. I'll try not to pester you guys too much for more information!

Thanks again for your kind assistance.

You can try these sites for the specialist shops in BKK.

If you are budget conscious and willing to consider buying 2nd hand, there will soon be a few folks selling their Phantom's and looking to buy the new DJI Inspire so you may be able to pick up a good deal. In which case try the classifieds and also the various 'stuff for sale' groups on Facebook.

Great advice guys, thank you all very much - its absolutely bang on what I was looking for. I've learned alot & I've got plenty of options to try when I get to work tomorrow... !

Thanks very much KK that's a good suggestion

I already have a dropbox account as it happens (although its full currently). I'll perhaps give it a whirl and see if I can get used to it or more importantly will see how the recipients take to it. Creatures of habit!

Hi guys,

hoping for some help please if possible;

I work from 3 different offices and my work involves sending emails with large size files on a daily basis >10MB.

2 offices I work from have 3BB internet and 1 of them has TOT.

I've recently set up an email account in Microsoft Outlook 2010 on my laptop but have encountered a couple of hiccups in sending emails (receiving is fine, no probs).

1) I found that whenever I get to the office with TOT, I had a problem in sending emails, they just seemed to remain in my outbox without sending, so I changed the SMTP outgoing mail server setting to "smtp.totisp.net" and that did the trick, but then when I went back to the other office (with 3BB) then I had to change it back again and so on.. Does anyone know another way to overcome this without having to change settings each time I arrive at a different office?

2) Also, whenever I try to send emails with large attachments (usually between 7 and 14 MB) I keep getting failure messages like "file size exceeded". I have found via Google that Outlook 2010 actually limits the attachment sizes to 10MB, but apparently there is a work-around by changing values in RegEdit so I'm going to give that a try. Meanwhile it has also been suggested by a man in the pub lastnight that the ISP's sometimes place limits on email sizes too. Does anyone know if there are any limits on email sizes with TOT and if so is there any solutions ?

I might just have to ditch Microsoft Outlook and find an alternative, any advice would be most welcome and appreciated, apologies if any of the above are dumbass questions

Thanks!

From what I have read it almost appears that if you are to be a "legendary character" in Pattaya you either have to be mentally ill, homeless or at least have some serious life issues. But as long as they wear a funny hat then that's alright.

"From what I have read", therein lies the difference.

Do you wear a funny hat or own a parrot per chance?

NCA = Nakhon Chai Air Bus station, Sukhumvit Rd next to "Heaven" complex.

I witnessed a policeman handcuff a drunk Russian that was causing a disturbance.

Then he stepped back and the Thai crowd set on him. He was kicked and kicked and kicked and stomped in the head... and finally one guy cracked his skull with a big piece of wood. CRACK! Probably killed the guy.

I too, stopped to make a video of the action.

When they cracked his head, I instinctively yelled NO! The cop & crowd spotted me and I took off and stayed away from that street for a long time.

Thats a great story, thanks for sharing. The bit where you instinctively yelled "No!" was captivating.

You were right to turn and run away though, god only know what danger you were in.

Their office is amongst the last row of shophouses on the LHS of Sukhumvihit road as if you were heading to Banglamung just before the turn off for Highway 36.

I'd rather sit and have a beer and chinwag with a baht bus driver than the idiots on thai visa

If you find any could you kindly report back here, as I'm planning a full-on birthday weekend on the Beer Chang.

Thanks in advance.

Big C extra on Pattaya Klang stock upto size 46 (UK12) in Kito brand flipflops. As do SuperSport shops in Big C North & Central mall.

Some good dashcams offer hard-wiring kits, which is a better option than using the cigarette charger (for those of you who drive the same vehicle). They have in-line filter and fuse and can connect to the igintion, so only come on/off as long as the engine is running. A suction cup mounted cam with cigarette lighter power is ideal for those who may drive different cars, or use rentals on regualr basis.

Are you saying they would fix a screen broken by a drop for free under warranty?

No probably not, sorry didnt mean to imply that, i just simply wanted to share for anyone who may drop their phone and smash the screen.

I've bought my previous S3 and Note2 both from the 168smart network shop in Tukcom. They asked if I want the Thai version with warranty or version without (looking in my device info it says United Arab Emirates). Price difference was about 1,000 baht.

Not that you'll be planning on dropping your S4 or anything but please note that after I did so it cost me 5500 Baht at the service center to replace the screen! Aycarramba!

It can vary according to distance pipe run but not a great amount.

Amount of refrigerant charge (kg) based on 5 meter runs can sometimes be found in the O&M manual.

forgot to add the smiley thing on my last post to convey a semi-joking vibe. So here it is;

This clown has nearly cost me a wing mirror on a couple of occasions whilst he meanders down the middle of Thepprasit Road with his carrier bags - as if there isn't enough to contend with. This chap is an accident waiting to happen, a danger not only unto himself but also to innocent motorists and cyclists. Lets hope he's packing suitable insurance, a trauma kit and a spare pair of shreddies in his tesco bag.

I think you have more to worry about than this guy if you drive that close to pedestrians regardless where they are on the road.

I get it. You're a pedestrian and/or clown who enjoys a brisk walk in the road and feel the need to add some balance to my earlier post. Fine, I'll allow it, but I warn thee that wing mirrors arent cheap!

I too have one which I have never used that is gathering dust in my office drawer. It's available for collection in Jomtien area for anyone else that wants one.

at the intersection of Thappraya Road and Thepprasit road there is offices for rent (sorry dont know the name but its the building with the large LED screen on it!) Can get a price list from reception on the ground floor.
