  1. MD-82, 1-2-go is the loudest. and they have just started a shuttle. CNX is projected to double to almost 50,000 commercial flights a year in the next 7-10 years. I currently live near the flight path, but will be moving at some point. Or until all the 1-2 go dinosaurs fall out of the sky, they are ridiculously loud.

  2. I had ubc for four years. don't waste your money. buy a dynasat satellite with an f=1 box, get the aguila ku satellite and it is just as good, or just as bad...Ubc sucks, but it dose provide most of the availiable content in this area, which isn't much. It certainly isn't worth the price. But if you like soccer then it is probably worth it, it is on 24/7

  3. check your phone hardware. I suffered for 2 years and finally I had enough and the problem was a 20 baht piece of hardware in my phone box just outside the house. constant dropping of connection and low speed was almost eliminated. it isn't always the problem at maxnet.

  4. I too use Charles Schwab in the US, and was advised not to switch to HK, although they would do it for me. Taxation of US citizens is well-documented, and it won't make a difference where yo do the trading. What is different is that Schwab HK is controlled by different laws, subject to the edicts of HK SAR and mainland China. Too, the services are different, and you should be aware.

    thanks backflip, considering all options, just hate giving them any tax revenue

  5. Hi guys,

    We are 4 guys from CR that will come for 4 days to play golf. Done it before and played many good courses.

    We have Highlands, Mae Jo and Royal Chiang Mai on the agenda but we want one more.

    Green Valley or what do you suggest. We are 9-15 hcp´rs.

    (I have tried to search the forum but not easy. Search for "golf" and you got 200 topics and noone about golf. Try "golf in Chiang Mai" and then you got an error. )

    Thanks in advance!

    :o:D:D

    chiang mai/lamphun golf club...it is near the highlands twords san kampaeng and is probably as good as the others yyou have mentioned

  6. What is the deal with discipline in Thailand? I'm not just talking about little kids either but 16-18 year olds that openly disrespect their parents or any elders for that matter and seem to suffer no consequences. I don't think I've ever seen an adult tell their kid off for anything except perhaps to say they're being too loud but that's it. Classic example today my husband's 18 year old cousin borrowed FILs car this morning with the promise to bring it back in a couple of hours because it was needed in the afternoon. He just got back at 6.30pm and all he got (after causing a lot of inconvenience) was "why are you late?" he blatently lied, got on his motorbike and hooned off! He's done this at least a dozen times but they still let him use the car, borrow money etc...I'm a little baffled by it. Has anyone ever seen a Thai couple discipline their kids or teenagers? Do the farang with kids have issues with their spouse because of discipline issues?

    Because the word "responsibility" has no meaning in Thailand

    that is a great post

  7. there are shops everwhere. I don't know any rules or regs regarding possession. Thai gold is 96.5% and can be bought in 5,10 baht bars and some larger. I hold mine at the bank. don't know about shipping. one of my dealers is 053-234-060, her name is "tik" and speaks english well, honest etc.
