I used TOT in the past but i had many problems, now i am with True and i am quite happy with it

I bought 1 in Pantip about 6 months ago, i can't remember how much i paid exactly, i think it was in the range between 4.400 and 5.400 baht, however what i still remember very well is that the power supplier went bust after just a month of usage, i took it back with the receipt handy, the staff looked like if it was a common occurrence and between a smile and a small thai chat between them, they told me that was my fault because i broke the internal small pin where you connect the power supplier wire (a total b/s), i then told them that it was simply impossible that i did that and after a small wait we went downstair to a place that looked like an "assistance point" for malfunctions or something, they told me that i had to wait 2 weeks to have it back, but just after a couple of days i received a call that it was ready to collect and i didn't had to pay anything at all, so to end the story short, if you have a technical problem have a good friend of yours to have a look at it first, otherways you might end up being charged for something you shouldn't pay for

When on the bus, was it given to you with an extra bill for the yakult? Was it a yakult lady doing the distribution? and...did you feel scammed...???

You must have discovered the advantage of drinking from these little bottles when on a bus, they don't block all of your view, so you will not mis a thing from the surroundings...

Luckily no extra charges were added,so no need to feel scammed, the lady distibuting them was definately worth an extra bill, what a waste of human potential! ... however knowing the company in question i wouldn't exclude that someone possibly after a week or two will knock on the door of the bus driver with a bill to pay ...it was a night trip so not really much to see outside...

There are wires and an electronic system named ACH. Neither worked for over a week. Turns out, Thailand residents (and citizen) are no longer permitted to wire overseas money anywhere but to banks residing in Thailand.

This has enormous implications.

Anyone else noticing this restriction?

This is huge

and your source is?

Hello everyone again, i just come back from a trip that taked me from the north to the south of the country and you will never guess what did they served to me into the double deck bus on my way to Chiang Mai.....

So for my way back i then decided to take a sleeper private cabin on a train, but inside the toilette i found a very strange notice and no trace of the notorious drink, does anybody knows if there is a delivery lady called Sannita by any chances? that would explain why nobody was delivering on the train....

I have been travelling lately and i went to see some old and new friends in Pattaya, in one of our chat one of my new friends mentioned to me of his experience at this famous spot in Pattaya, basically he went there a fews days ago with another group of friends, they sit down for a chat and ordered drinks and food, after have paid they left the place but the staff called them back to say they had not paid, this particular person is the classic guy that doesn't like to have arguments about small amounts, so he ended up forking out twice the money for the 4 people and left....i understand his point but i don't agree with this....

Being aware of this friend of mine experience, when i went there with other friends, i asked to pay the bill straight away and wanted a receipt, the girl at the till at first kind of ignored my request, then took my money and gaved me back the right change but didn't provided me with any receipt, i then told her to look at me carefully and remember that i had already paid for everything and she seems to have understood well what i meant. After about 15 minutes we left the place, but just after having passed the entrance guess what happened? "Hello Sir, you did not pay your bill !", now i have to say that it has all been sorted out very quickly, however, be carefull if you go there, as they seems to be extremely disorganised on this matter......enjoy your gelato

Thanks for the offer, i actually bought my one, however thinking about the 400 baht a day they are asking on Beach Road for a scooter, your offer might get many interested on it

At the present i can only suggest from which particular one to stay well away off, just send me a private message if you like to know, good luck!

....I just got fed up with the headaches and rented a new Yamaha Nouvo scooter for 3000 baht per month and my headaches went away.

wow that's amazing! i went for the same bike and for the same reason

.....some times I even try to ask how far they are going before I get on.

Don't do it! according to the police(Josh in particular) and the Baht Bus Cooperative, there is an untold rule that if you say anything at all to the driver, you will be then charged like if you hired the whole vehicle, nevermind if there are many other people sitting in the bus with you and he still do many stops and take more customers while he goes....hire your own vehicle instead, these drivers do not deserve any business....

Just avoid a particular well known brokerage/legal firm, as apart from the first impression they might give, you will just waste your money for totally useless documents, just send me a private message if you need more information, good luck!

Check with Sunbelt Asia.

You can do everything on your own, do the research, you can file and register your company without a lawyer too, you don't need a service like this, they have extreme fees and prey on ignorant new people, unless you just have plenty of money to flush down the toilet...

EXACTLY! in my particular case i have been provided with paper that would create more damages then good to me! and i was the person paying for it! theyr formula can be resumed very briefly like this: "we pass all kind of responsability to you, if there is anything not legal, wrong or whatever else we take absolutely no responsability in what we wrote and you, the paying customer, are the only responsible person for anything" i hope this open up your eyes a bit and can help you in deciding if they are worth your money or not.....

Check with Sunbelt Asia.

To me that sound exactly like if you say : "jump on the mouth of a starving crocodile!!!"

don't do it man! i have been into it myself and i wish someone had made me aware of it before!

All i can say is to be very carefull before you invest in anything, research is crucial and stay away from very bad brokerage/lawyer firms which operates locally, many people here have fallen victims at various degrees of this and other popular "businessman" (or just call it a pig if you prefere), send me a private message if you need to know more and i hope all the best for your enterprise.

normally between a 5 and a 7 there is a 6....

The divers inspected 1 container, and found no bodies or toxic product. What about the other 7 containers?

One container at a time, TIT it takes time to get things done. Besides they have yet to clear the contents of the remaining 7

exactly,do you think is easy to find a cheap storage these days? give them some time men, they really don't want to be caught twice for the same problem.... and did anyone yet claim that the previous human remains that have been found were just overweight tunas? probably they didn't feel the need of it as who dares to put in doubt the words of state officials?

".....Chon Buri's Samaesan district chief Pramote Towsakul said local people had in the past discovered human skulls in sunken containers but were too scared to report to the police...."

And...it would affect everybody, including the ones initiating/doing it.

yes i believe that's very likely, it remind me some "clever" people on the south of Italy that dropped radioactive stuff in their sea, that's very likely to affect him and his family too but what can we do? is a greedy world...

Bangkok - Pattaya

Train: 31 baht

Bus: 110 baht

....just in case

You cannot tell the difference simply because one of them doesn't exist, so what difference ??....

mmmm i don't think the answer is to just pretend the "issue" it doesn't exist, on the same way as i don't agree with people making it much bigger of what it really was/is, there are official proof that some government openly admitted this sad event taked place and i don't see why they would have shoot their own feet if this was just a lie, there are much more things happening out there of what we can openly see, take the Yakult ladies for example, i would have never taught they operated on that way untill i read it here, should i doubt it was all made up by someone? the odds are that the history was true even if i didn't seen it by myself, but with this i am not saying that is impossible that the whole thing was made up by the possible competition, maybe Vitasoy that create this website just to come up on the D-Day, actually the Y-Day, with this mind blowing story and give a lethal blow to Yakult....

Beginning to think there's an anti-farang peanut butter conspiracy afoot here....

agree, one of my favourite drinks disappeared some time ago too, it was the 1 liter brick box from Unif, a sweet green tea, i can't find it anywhere anymore, i guess it all went peanuts

This one is more `convincing`..

Yes that's definately of unquestionable truth

However, there are pleanty of bad and more or less "classified" stuff in all countries, but not every single plane having a "trail" is necessarely a "chemtrail" isn't ? by making it look bigger of what really is, without "official" proofs it will only play in favour of the "baddies" by making look like fantasious conspiracy theories even the few aknowledged real operations....

Sure, all the "evidence" is on You Tube......

Why? do you want to put in question the reliability of the source??

Dying will make a person good or bad on the same way as "living" does, it all depends on how a person will decides to act in their dying or living to make the difference between bad and good....

Millions were in germ war tests

Much of Britain was exposed to bacteria sprayed in secret trials

Antony Barnett, public affairs editor

Observer

Sunday April 21, 2002

The Ministry of Defence turned large parts of the country into a giant laboratory to conduct a series of secret germ warfare tests on the public.

A government report just released provides for the first time a comprehensive official history of Britain's biological weapons trials between 1940 and 1979.

Many of these tests involved releasing potentially dangerous chemicals and micro-organisms over vast swaths of the population without the public being told.

While details of some secret trials have emerged in recent years, the 60-page report reveals new information about more than 100 covert experiments.

The report reveals that military personnel were briefed to tell any 'inquisitive inquirer' the trials were part of research projects into weather and air pollution.

The tests, carried out by government scientists at Porton Down, were designed to help the MoD assess Britain's vulnerability if the Russians were to have released clouds of deadly germs over the country.

In most cases, the trials did not use biological weapons but alternatives which scientists believed would mimic germ warfare and which the MoD claimed were harmless. But families in certain areas of the country who have children with birth defects are demanding a public inquiry.

One chapter of the report, 'The Fluorescent Particle Trials', reveals how between 1955 and 1963 planes flew from north-east England to the tip of Cornwall along the south and west coasts, dropping huge amounts of zinc cadmium sulphide on the population. The chemical drifted miles inland, its fluorescence allowing the spread to be monitored. In another trial using zinc cadmium sulphide, a generator was towed along a road near Frome in Somerset where it spewed the chemical for an hour.

While the Government has insisted the chemical is safe, cadmium is recognised as a cause of lung cancer and during the Second World War was considered by the Allies as a chemical weapon.

In another chapter, 'Large Area Coverage Trials', the MoD describes how between 1961 and 1968 more than a million people along the south coast of England, from Torquay to the New Forest, were exposed to bacteria including e.coli and bacillus globigii , which mimics anthrax. These releases came from a military ship, the Icewhale, anchored off the Dorset coast, which sprayed the micro-organisms in a five to 10-mile radius.

The report also reveals details of the DICE trials in south Dorset between 1971 and 1975. These involved US and UK military scientists spraying into the air massive quantities of serratia marcescens bacteria, with an anthrax simulant and phenol.

Similar bacteria were released in 'The Sabotage Trials' between 1952 and 1964. These were tests to determine the vulnerability of large government buildings and public transport to attack. In 1956 bacteria were released on the London Underground at lunchtime along the Northern Line between Colliers Wood and Tooting Broadway. The results show that the organism dispersed about 10 miles. Similar tests were conducted in tunnels running under government buildings in Whitehall.

Experiments conducted between 1964 and 1973 involved attaching germs to the threads of spiders' webs in boxes to test how the germs would survive in different environments. These tests were carried out in a dozen locations across the country, including London's West End, Southampton and Swindon. The report also gives details of more than a dozen smaller field trials between 1968 and 1977.

In recent years, the MoD has commissioned two scientists to review the safety of these tests. Both reported that there was no risk to public health, although one suggested the elderly or people suffering from breathing illnesses may have been seriously harmed if they inhaled sufficient quantities of micro-organisms.

However, some families in areas which bore the brunt of the secret tests are convinced the experiments have led to their children suffering birth defects, physical handicaps and learning difficulties.

David Orman, an army officer from Bournemouth, is demanding a public inquiry. His wife, Janette, was born in East Lulworth in Dorset, close to where many of the trials took place. She had a miscarriage, then gave birth to a son with cerebral palsy. Janette's three sisters, also born in the village while the tests were being carried out, have also given birth to children with unexplained problems, as have a number of their neighbours.

The local health authority has denied there is a cluster, but Orman believes otherwise. He said: 'I am convinced something terrible has happened. The village was a close-knit community and to have so many birth defects over such a short space of time has to be more than coincidence.'

Successive governments have tried to keep details of the germ warfare tests secret. While reports of a number of the trials have emerged over the years through the Public Records Office, this latest MoD document - which was released to Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker - gives the fullest official version of the biological warfare trials yet.

Baker said: 'I welcome the fact that the Government has finally released this information, but question why it has taken so long. It is unacceptable that the public were treated as guinea pigs without their knowledge, and I want to be sure that the Ministry of Defence's claims that these chemicals and bacteria used were safe is true.'

The MoD report traces the history of the UK's research into germ warfare since the Second World War when Porton Down produced five million cattle cakes filled with deadly anthrax spores which would have been dropped in Germany to kill their livestock. It also gives details of the infamous anthrax experiments on Gruinard on the Scottish coast which left the island so contaminated it could not be inhabited until the late 1980s.

The report also confirms the use of anthrax and other deadly germs on tests aboard ships in the Caribbean and off the Scottish coast during the 1950s. The document states: 'Tacit approval for simulant trials where the public might be exposed was strongly influenced by defence security considerations aimed obviously at restricting public knowledge. An important corollary to this was the need to avoid public alarm and disquiet about the vulnerability of the civil population to BW [biological warfare] attack.'

Sue Ellison, spokeswoman for Porton Down, said: 'Independent reports by eminent scientists have shown there was no danger to public health from these releases which were carried out to protect the public.

'The results from these trials_ will save lives, should the country or our forces face an attack by chemical and biological weapons.' Asked whether such tests are still being carried out, she said: 'It is not our policy to discuss ongoing research.'
