It seems everybody is having TOT problems. I was fine until today. Now can't access any US sites. Thai sites are OK.

Another thread running here.

My TOT ADSL has been absolutely awful today. Can't connect to international sites at all.

Usually 10Mbps and very stable. Did a speedtest on "testmy.net" and shows everybody with TOT is in the crapper.

Strangely enough, ThaiVisa is faster than ever!

Well, you don't want the "boys in the hood" wearing them, do you?

And Microsoft is a saint??

Bill Gates gives away billions to charity and medical science.

Not a saint but pretty good.

And Microsoft is a saint??

Thank you, RichCor!

I get excited about FO, but the voices in my head keep saying, "if it works, don't fix it".

No doubt, I will eventually make the switch.

TOT in Phrae is telling me it's a 2 year contract. Same prices and speeds as on the flyer.

Installation is 119 baht, and the modem/router is 1650 bht.

I've been undecided because my ADSL is 10mbps and mostly problem free for the past 5 years.

Is it worth making the switch?

Bah...Humbug.

I don't see a 30/3 package offered for 1200 bht.

Is this an older package or am I missing something?

For Christ's sake...have you guys ever heard of good manners?

My guess is a moth. Looks like a type of "Hawk Moth"

The pink one is an "elephant hawk moth".

The green one is an "oleander hawk moth".

The green one is very common in our yard.

Why do we have this discussion? Drinking water in TH does not contain any minerals, it's as clean as distilled water.

This discussion keeps dragging on mainly because you keep posting inaccurate nonsense.

True. But you fail to mention that the "rules" mean absolutely nothing.

You know that as well as I do.

Best advice is check with your local office, and then be prepared for anything.

As said, the insurance should be in the name of the car owner. Then specify who the named drivers are in the insurance policy.

Drinking water is most certainly NOT the same as distilled water.

It's more than one or two offices requiring funds seasoning using the combination method.

Play it safe and leave it in there for 3 months prior to applying for an extension.

Thais are not well versed in gift giving.

At Christmas time, all you see in the stores are gift baskets filled with that bird nest crap.

Better have that sign read "ring the bell once".

Otherwise they'll stand there pushing the button like kids on Halloween.

Craig:

What a nightmare! Sincerely sorry for you; not just the flooding, but all the personal trauma as well.

Are they really going to be able to "fix" all that? I would think that the lingering contamination and mold danger would be extremely high, requiring a lot more than just drying out and new flooring. Like I said, they had to cut out the drywall in our US house because it soaked up so much water. I could see black mold growing on it before they even got started. They literally gutted the whole house. Be sure you're getting a complete and competent repair to USA standards. That flood water looks like sewage, and I would not be comfortable moving back in until getting a clean bill of health by contamination experts. Down the road, it could be very dangerous to your health.

I sure hope everything works out for the best. But remember, this is Thailand. You have to be super diligent. I know you've got a million things going on, but don't let even the smallest detail slip by you.

I will never know why bad things happen to good people, but my thoughts are with you. Good Luck!

(P.S. I too have always had positive experiences using Agoda.)

I did get it restored each time at a competent body shop recommended by my Honda dealer.

After all, that's what insurance is for.

And I will admit that while I was expecting a nightmare, they did an excellent job including paint matching.

I think Mr. Shots estimates may have a little humor attached. At least I hope so.

I would have dropped a log.

You're not ruining your car in Phuket , it gets ruined all over Thailand. People here have absolutely no respect for other peoples property. The mai pen rai - attitude rules here. You park your car in a public place and it will be damaged.

My beloved car has been bashed 3 times. Twice in parking lots while I wasn't even in it (of course, no notes left). And once, rear ended at a red light by a drunk.
