  1. I brought 2 dogs here from the states. I used a company called Air Animal. They arrange everything. Because of the distance of the flights it is best to have them stop in germany or whatever airport has facilities for dogs. They spent 1 night in germany, were let out for a wee-wee etc. before coming to phuket. Door to door service, did not have to pay any money above and beyond what I was quoted.

    I am sure the same company can do the same in reverse.

  2. I was enjoying the NBA Playoffs Live on Rawai cable when someone at their office decided to switch it to indoor field hockey instead. I marched right up to their office to file a written complaint. I sure showed them whos boss.

  3. Yo BillR,

    why not get a Thai person to call your number and when the thief answers, tell them it's worth 800thb and you'll give them 500thb for it?

    Might be better than having to get a new Sim, I know if I lost my phone with all my work numbers and contacts on there, it would be worth more than the 800thb I paid for it.

    GOM, do not be naive. I do not call people. People call me.

  4. I paid 800baht for that fine piece of technology! Whoever did it can rot in hell! I am on my way out the door to check all the mobile shops and if I see my phone there I will hire a sketch artist and catch you!

  5. you can definitely save 50 baht on that price. After all its your dads birthday, right? The hologram is a clear indication of its authenticity so do not push your luck going for 100 baht, you will look stupid especially if there are rugby shirt connoisseurs nearby.

    Print out my post and bring it to the vendor as proof you have out smarted him.

    Go outside and hail a tuk-tuk to the main post office. You do not want to go to one of these pay at post places, they charge like a 40baht commission, screw that. You can discuss your savings on the jersey with the rugby jersey vendors brother on the way as long as you sit in the front seat of the tuk-tuk. You both can laugh together about it passing your time on the way to phuket town.

    When you get back to the hotel bar, you can tell the tuk-tuk drivers cousin how the tuk-tuk driver ripped you off over a beer you bought for her.

  6. You do not want a thai vps. I have tried 3 different providers in the past including the same one that hosts sanook.com. You said you are looking for minimal english which would imply you want a managed host. Tech support is terrible and you will be nickled and dimed for services.

    If your concern is being geographically close to Thailand, then I would recommend singapore. Fantastic support. I have a VPS with Vodien.com . Go open a support ticket with them and they respond in seconds, 24/7 even during songkranlaugh.gif

  7. lets add the facts to this thread.

    He is asking to RECEIVE (pop) mail from godaddy (email.secureserver.net) and send via 3bb which is smtp.tttmaxnet.com.

    I would however suggest you use the smtp (send mail) settings from godaddy as he is listing a LAPTOP in the OP.
