BKKdreaming

Its not free but depending where you are, most areas have Internet cafes that's gamers use with comfortable chairs, a/c, fast PCs etc that sometimes I visit to get out of the house as there so cheap 10 - 20 baht an hour.

and go at school time or bring earplugs as it is LOUD ''

but yes I have done that too

cheers

Do you need to study Thai for an Education visa ?

if you were up in Issan could you study Issan, or Chinese in Chinatown or ??????

and does it even need to be a language ? Could it be Cooking , Thai boxing or Website Graphics ?

Just wondering

Paypal account is in a Thai name / address ./ Id card , same name etc as Ebay account

will they get in any trouble if they accept too much $$$ into the Paypal account ?

it is not that much by western standards , lets say $10,000 US in a year

Will Paypal shut it down , restrict it etc ?

We would like to try and sell higher priced items , but if that works we could hit $1000 a month,

And we all know how Paypal seems to run by its own rules and freeze your account for breaking rules you were never told about !

thanks for your ideas

I see that Mcdonalds has free WiFi at some of its stores,

How do you log in ?

and are there other fast food / coffee shops that have free WiFi ?

I have free WiFi at my hotel but it might be nice to have the option to look something up if I am out and only have my "half-Smart" phone with me

Thanks for the info

I think the train is better than the bus , which is better than the minibus

At least with the train you normally do not have someone driving towards you on the wrong side of the road with no lights !

and yes flying is even better if you book the cheaper flights months before !

but you cannot expect 1st world service in 3rd class !

And I quess another question is , what phone carrier has the best service out in the middle of no where on the train ?

We do need to put photos up on twitter wherever we are !

Can you post some "day trips" leaving early 6-7-8am and getting back to BKK around 8pm ,

staying a few hours in a decent size town to check it out.....

and if there is a train station like Bang Sue that you can get close to by BTS -MRT ?

I would rather spend time looking at fields than the back of buildings crawling thru BKK

Hello viewer! How about Nakhon Pathom? 2 hours approx out of town.Most of the trains stop in Bang Sue or you have trains going places out of Wongwian Yai & Thonburi Railway Station ( Bangkok Noi ) Nakhon Pathom is a fab place! I will post some info and pics soon F.J

Sounds good , can you post the early times they leave BKK area and the last few trains returning ?

and some pics when you can

As I am sure you know that Thailand rail travel as is the whole of south east asia and the world could not be better covered as it is by The man in seat 61 ( wwwseat61.com } anyways good luck on your venture I have travelled to Thailand from the uk by land, sea, and air. by land ( rail ) was for me my best ever travel experience.

the website wwwseat61.com seems dead , was that the correct URL ?

OOPS it seems to be here http://www.seat61.com

and here is the page for Thailand

is DTAC or AIS better for the monthly internet rate

is there a chart somewhere comparing what is available , and gets updated since there seems to be many promos

I only took the Train from BKK to Hat Yai once

worst part was getting out of BKK which took a long time

Can you buy a ticket from one of the stops, like Bang Sue (MRT stop) or others on lines going other directions ,

Back in the USA now and it seems the selfie stick is not a big thing here.....

i have not seen an ad for one yet !

I bought a cheap one and the usual bluetooth trigger button in Chinatown but have not hooked it up yet

I bought 4 Swann IP WiFi HD cameras the other day

does anyone have suggestions about a program to monitor the cameras on my desktop

also a good Android app ?

I would like to set them up to record when there is motion , maybe upload them to Google+ or Dropbox etc

plus send me an email notice that they have been activated,

yes Swann has an App but it seems to have problems

thanks for your help

 

 

 

Where in Bangrak and Chinatown exactly? Any specific locations/times?

 

Chinatown is not that easy......

go to the main "Gold" street Yarawat , on the left side are many alleys / streets full of stuff......

and they there are a 2nd floor or more ( I never went upstairs)

These alleys extend all the way to the Indian area

There is also an area for tools , cheap electronics and more, 

You could be around there for days !

chinatown , JJ weekend market if it is stuff you think you can resell

He often talked about his addictions, sorry to see him have to finish off this way

Go get international calling card for say 500 baht then pickup phone dial number on card follow the prompts make your call when done hang up phone. Rates are cheap.

but does your mobile carrier also charge you for minutes to use the "cheap" calling from a phone card ?

if this is a serious "get out of Thailand , I got no stinking visa" question than Costa Rica might be a better idea

 

If i was a teacher i wouldn't let the pupils / students use mobile phones / pads in the classroom .

 

Yes that is the rule, but I teach math and physics and the calculations can get intense, so I allow them to use the calculators in their mobile devices. 

let them buy a calculator and stash the phones , 

you made your own problem letting them use the phones to begin with.......

Those of you who are not teachers are missing an amazing juggling act. My students can be killing zombies on their iPads while simultaneously having an unrelated conversation on their phones and taking notes in my class.

and 10 minutes later remembering none of it !

where can you buy Monk bags with Tiger Beer logo ?

OK....where can you just buy Monk bags ?

BS number,,,,,,,Thais with outside jobs or factory jobs are working 10 hour days , and they are on the internet 8 more hours ?

and how many not in the top 10 large cities have no internet ?

if the question is how many hours do people taking the BTS stay on the internet than maybe 8 hours....but not all Thais.......or any other country when you say "All"

How do you make it look like you are calling from "work" in Las Vegas when you are really in Thailand ?

My understanding is there isn't much drug cartel violence in Puerto Vallarta. There are a number of places not heavily effected and some very effected.

We were in a private house in Mexico city years ago when some "Cops" searched the place for drugs........and the Mom worked for the Puerto Vallarta government....

but like everywhere it is very isolated , makes good news , much the same as BKK

I am in upper Mexico.....its now called California !

is http://zayhi.com/index.php?lang=en internet calls or Thai landline out calls ?
