  1. I have got Zyxel router from True if I start the computer it does not work. When the technician from True was here he disabled and enabled my ethernet cards (got two do not know why) and it worked, I am trying to do the same thing but it doesn't work. Is it Windows 7? Do I need drivers for this router? What to do really? When I call True they always want to do the same steps and that doesn't help.

  2. I am using True 6 mb. line now, I am living in the On Nut area but I am too many times offline. Are there any better Internet Providers? True visited my place a couple of times and they keep saying that there is no problem with the line, why am I offline so many times? Is True a direct line? Because there is a hotel in this street and they are connecting a lot of computers on one ADSL line, does that matter for my speed or is it a real direct line?

  3. I bought leather shoes in Sukhumvit, I think it was Tony's leather, expensive shoes, look great but he did not care about how comfortable they were to walk on. It feels like I am walking on a couple of nails, I want that they remove these and put some sole in the shoes.

    I have been back to Tony's leather in Sukhumvit (next to Time Square building) a couple of times but they just do not take it serious, so will not go back there.

    Do you know a good address in Bangkok?

  4. You wrote this KerryK. <EM>When I go into a go go with my GF I always buy her a regular drink and myself a soda. </EM>so I do not understand this <EM>Who said anything about bringing your girlfriend to those kind of bars? I didn't.</EM> <BR><BR>I am living here ten years, I can speak and read Thai. You are saying that women who work in a gogo are looking for a husband, how long are you here for? And no ThaiPauly I had no bad experiences here in Thailand but I am not interested to have a bargirl as a girlfriend or wife. Think you two know the stories. And KerryK. I hope for you you find a nice lady in those establiments. I think most of the women who work in a gogo are looking for a husband but if yoiu take them out of the bar it will cost you a lot of money because those women are making quite a lot and of course the family back in Isan wants some.

  5. Yes you a real gentleman, bring your girlfriend to those kind of bars. Those girls do not think you are a gentleman, you are the same as the other gentlemen (pervs) in the bar only the difference is you drink a soda and the rest a beer, they do not care whatever you drink, it is all about the money.

  6. Some points I do agree, a lot of Bangkok expats look different from Hong Kong or Singapore expats, a bit more overweight a bit more under-dressed. And a lot of teachers do not like to be a teacher, sad for the students. If you sit behind your computer now with a hangover and have to teach in a couple of minutes, you are one of them, of course you enjoyed the 2 for 1 in The Londoner last night and the attention from women, who you paid not enough in the morning.  But I do know a lot of teachers who love their job. He is not saying all Expats are Sexpats but you can't deny there are many. I have got a company in Bangkok and I work too much , no time to be a sexpat, what a pity. Yes and of course I do not like Thaksin, think he took some money from this country.They did not freeze 46 billion baht for nothing is it? Quite clearly buying votes from the poor people who thinks he is a "good man" when you give them some money.<br><br>I do agree --> so many expats are complaining on Thaivisa about Thai people and Thai culture.  If you do not like it, go home farang. <br>

  7. The Russians are working on this problem --> Rich Russians kill pirates on vacation. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

    16,000 unarmed merchant ships each year to try healing through the Gulf of Aden to sail and not the Somali pirates to be upset. A Russian cruise business now turns the tables around and loads of Russians to hunt down pirates before the coast of Somalia, the most dangerous waterway in the world.

    His business idea is simple: His cruise ship is the bait for the pirates. If the real pirates try to board the seemingly harmless ship, they experience a surprise. Instead defenseless merchant sailors they are confronted with Russian tourists armedto the teeth . A macabre tourist fun.

    A day on board the chartered cruise ship costs $ 5,790. They drive until the real pirates attack. At least one pirate attack is guaranteed by the travel agency.

    The route goes from Djibouti to Mombasa in Kenya. The ship sails as close to the Somali coast as possible with a speed of only five nautical miles. The tourists can buy and use weapons according to their wishes and budget.

    A gun-type AK-47 can be rented for $ 9 a day by the Russian passengers on board. 100 rounds of ammunition cost $ 12. A grenade launcher costs $ 175 a day. This rent includes three grenades. The use of one of the railing mounted machine guns should cost $ 475.

    In order for the pirates not to get stupid ideas, rich Russians will receive an extra personal protection. On board of the ship are at any time a large number of former employees of Russian special commands. The Russian elite fighters on the cruise ship mainly take care of security at night.

    The reaction of the internatinal military association combating pirates to these tourists are still unclear.
