same story as always.... Nothing will change....

Jules,

Maybe True is good in this area. The price seems ok too. I gather this is just for cable internet with no cable TV or is that included?

It may also explain the negative comments I saw which appeared to be mainly their subscription sat tv service..

Cheers

Andrew

Sent from my GT-I9305T using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

Yep, just for cable internet. TV not included...

So does that mean I get a free iPhone when I visit Phuket, in order to download the app???

I just have a phone I can use to call (no other BS on it)

Phuket Som Nam Na

Finally Karma kicks in for Phukit

Come on, guys! Lighten up!

For sure it is 'true love'

One of my most memorable smokes I had in an area with many many NON-smoking signs....

I did not want to smoke a cigaret at that time however, BUT there were 2 police officers in uniform smoking away, right under the signs. So I could not resist myself to stand near them and also smoke... There was nothing they could do

Khao Talo area?

Apart from True you may want to try TMN.

80 somewhat channels in their standard package (THB 300-THB 350 per month)

Can be extended with another 14 channels (especially the sports-channels) for a one time investment of THB 6000 for a TMN-box.

The office can be found in Soi Khao Talo near the Booze Cafe just past the entrance of Aekmongkol IV and opposite the "Khao Talo Market"

Quality is pretty good with some HD-channels and service is quick and accurate.

I'm not sure whether TMN offers internet, but a quick visit to the visit will give you an answer.

Good luck with your move

>I live around NuenPlabWan, am just last month I had the same problem as you have now

I have now True internet through cable, and I am very happy with them! I went to their store (a couple a doors down from Tucom, on Pattaya Tai, same side); was helped very quickly (bring passport!); made on appointment for the guys to come by on Monday (it was Fri when I was in the shop)(later I got an sms, if Sun was ok)(Sat morning I got a call from technican, if he could come now as he was in the neighbourhood.... yes, sure, and 2 hours later I had internet!) Great service!

My advice to you: check what your neighbours have and if they are happy with the service. Maybe you can do a package deal (with True) as you want TV as well.

Good Luck!

Jules and Joe,

Thanks for the info. A grea tidea to check out the neighbours! I will check out both TMN and True once we get there.

I have seen some very negative feedback elsewhere on Thaivisa regarding True who also seem to be quite expensive (by Thai standards).

Thanks again.

Avander,

Just FYI... I just got the bill (for the first time) from True.

1 months for Ultra Hi-Speed Int 12M/1.2M cost 599 THB + VAT 7%

Very acceptable for me, as the speeds are good and almost 100% up-time

And has Mahatma Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world."

Nothing more needs to be said

OP, I am with you as well!

IMO, (real) love is based on trust, honesty and respect. To ensure the 'never-ending' love, GOOD communication is a very strong requirement.

Treat women (ALL women!) with respect,

NONSENSE, you earn respect. period. There is a slobbering fool on this forum, from Newcastle, that respects his thai wife when she does not come home in the evening. What a fool.

Not true! You earn trust... How will you get any respect from anyone, if you don't show respect in the first place?!?

Of course there are always exceptions to any rule

Mr Surapong however noted that Thailand must pay a higher annual panda leasing fee to China, from the current US$250,000 to one million dollars

Talk about inflation !

Well you are getting 2 panda's AND possible panda bedroom action

It is a fact that Panda's are very much NOT horny at all, and mate extremely slowly

So, bring a case of beer and a comfortable chair, if you are willing to sit this one out

Treat women (ALL women!) with respect, and you'll be surprised what you get back in return. Maybe that is why most women think I am jai dee. I am, but not all the time I would not even treat a servant the way your friend treats his wife. It has nothing to do with Thai culture (I love been taken care of in every possible way), but this is (mental) abuse.

BTW, did you know that 70% of ALL the problems in the world is due to MIScommunication?!? In the domestic domain as well as in the world politics. Different languages, different cultures only add to miscommunication. Even when having the same language and same culture and background, how many problems are due to MIS-understandings?!?

"urgently re-assigned to a non-active position" (especially the "urgently" cracked me up )

I just love the way Thais are dealing with 'problems'

So, the mia noi is 'free' again Maybe I should give her my phone number She looks sooooo much nicer and friendlier than the wife....

In all seriousness, does anyone believes the husband is giving up the mia noi now?!? Who is taking care of him when the wife has finished with him....

Heading should read : "first foreigner that has been asked to stay longer in LOS"

No WP, no border/visa runs, and working every day

does someones know where I can find the famous "infamous" cartoon?!? I want to judge for myself...

I love cartoons, and they should be a bit provocative, if to have any effect!!! This cartoon has definitely 'effect' .... where to see it?????

OMB! Who would have thought that?!? Tablets are the gateway to anything, good and bad.... Deal with it, or ban the tablets (good luck with that )

BS! Nobody is enforcing the law anyway... If you pay, you can rent ANY bike anywhere (in Thailand)

Poor snakes...

I wish the South Koreans an EVER-lasting erection Som Nam Na

My heart goes out to the poor woman. Loosing your husband and child like this is just horrible!

Take good care, Watcharin Nuansai, and good luck for you in Buri Ram and the rest of your life

I use Mao Mao on 12Call... Prepaid discount packages that are being paid out of your normal balance. Many choices....

Call *500# and follow the instructions on the screen

I support a nation's right to self determination but as an American I'm bewildered as to why working-class citizens would choose to have an entrenched, familial bureaucracy as the titular head of their country.

Monarchies are a relic of a brutal past. My guess is that at some point in the future they will be no more.

You obviously do not know what you are talking about!

The US 'democracy' and presidency is ruled by money and money alone. The Dutch people trust their Royal family a LOT more than americans trust their presidents.

Landmarks are the best way to give directions in Thailand

BUT, farang use very different landmarks then the Thai people (most of us can not read Thai....)

The one that ALWAYS cracks me up, especially in BKK and big(ger) cities, is the use of 7-11's. Turn left/right at 7-11 is the most used direction and when someone asks me where I live, I always say "near 7-11" (especially if I do NOT want them to know where I live....)

The crane driver was probably too old to run away from the accident
