This only a urine test. Hardly conclusive of guilt. There are many legal substances that cause a false positive. The police assume any positive is guilty and seem to demand a large payout to be released.

1. There should only be 1 DHCP server on a network
2. By default your Linksys is expecting to see a modem only on the internet, not a router. The way you have it setup now is the simplest.

To give an update on my experiences with Pattaya Eye Center. A month after cataract surgery and I still have poor vision in the affected eye. The doc agreed to make glasses to correct for the wrong lens used. We discussed it and I explained I did not want or need bifocals, just wanted my distance vision back. I could cope with reading. I went to pick them up a week later and of course they were bifocals. He claimed I needed them. I refused to accept them and he reluctantly agreed to make them the way I had requested. He was also eager to operate on my other eye. I refused to consider that until I could see ok in the 1st eye. Our relationship then turned very icy, When I picked up the remade glasses he refused to see me. I have been concerned all along about this doc's policy of removing all labels from the medication he gives out. I had no idea what I was taking. I had asked him several times for the names and he refused, but claimed it was very expensive and charged accordingly. Today I went to Pattaya International for a 2nd opinion. I do have complications from from the surgery and when he checked the other eye he said I could most likely wait 1 to 2 years before needing surgery. PIH gave me more meds in a labeled pkg and charged 1/5 of Pattaya center. I believe Dr Nattawat is in need of funds to pay for that well equipped office. Get a second opinion!

Lock your modem in the safe

My advice is if you have to use him, get everything in writing before the day of surgery and going over it with just before surgery. As for me, time for a new doctor as I have lost all trust in him.
I believe in the US, it is considered unethical to do both eyes at once. Risk of infection too high (can spread from one eye to the other, then both eyes at risk)

Well as I posted earlier, I went and had cataract surgery at Pattaya Eye Center. It did not go very well. First the good; well equipped office, very clean, staff seems very well trained. No pain at all and very little discomfort.
Now the bad; I had discussed with the doc about corrective lens and using different lens in each eye to eliminate the need for reading glasses. I told I did not want any of that and would be happy to continue wearing reading glasses and needed distance vision the most. I thought we both agreed. After the surgery I mentioned I thought everything was blurry through that eye and he replied of course the new lens is just for reading. He acknowledged we had agreed differently but he thought it would be better for me to do it his way. It did not work. Almost a week later and the vision in that eye is getting worse. I went to see him and he claimed everything is fine. I asked why I still have poor vision, he offered explaination. So it is off to get a 2nd opinion. I hope to be able to wear glasses to correct this condition (the wrong implants). He did indicate it would possible. Right now both far and near vision from that eye is the same as before the surgery and getting worse. I was told I had a 60% loss due to the cataract. Good luck in whatever you do.

Check the Microsoft website. Some wireless models have had driver problems. I believe fixes are available

Thanks for the info on this doctor. I am presently seeing him and about to schedule the surgery. Very timely for me.

I believe the police here are not interested in property crimes. They have enough with violent criminals, The jails are full of them.
-
does anyone if this is what I have heard called a "Huun"?
-
I think you have to realize the police do not care about property crimes. It takes too much time away from their other activities. They are not crime fighters, they are here to make some baht and keep major crime to an acceptable level, meaning out of the international press.

My understanding is that any person collecting benefits must have a ss number which requires a green card for a foreign national.

If you want to put info on keys I suggest requesting them to drop the keys into a nearby place you now and trust, or the local police station
I would doubt the police would be of any help. A friend of mine found a Canadian passport and the police refused to have anything to do with it.
This was 2 weeks ago in Pattaya.

wonder if they have shut it down for some reason... it would sure be nice to find a way to transfer funds to my BB and or SBC accounts easily and cost efficent online!
You can xfer to Bangkok Bank NYC, which will then flow to your account in Thailand. Google BB NYC they have current instructions. This is a us xfer so there is little or no cost.

It is almost impossible to open a new account with a bank that does not already know you in the US. If someone knows of any please share, as I have had no luck.

This is becoming more and more of a problem. Many companies and government agencies are preventing access from Thailand based ip addresses. To tell if that is your problem. or something else, try using a proxy service (use google). If you can then access the site then you are being blocked, usually based on the location of your ip address. I expect this will become more widespread in the future.
If you have a fixed ip address, as most of us do not have, then your address could be allowed.

I have a friend in the same area and he has exactly the same problems. Good luck getting it resolved

I am from the US and the company administering my pension does not do written correspondence. Only phone and email. I can not even send them a letter. I must receive my pension electronically. They will not send me anthing other than email stating my pension benefits. Will that be acceptable? I read somewhere internet printouts are not accepted.

I had a similar problem. A system was installed 1.5 years with a vga extension with no problems. Then the video card failed and was replaced. Now vwey poor quality video (higher quality vidow card). Changed monitors and it improved but not high quality. I then switched to a DVI cable (digital) and all is well. Better than before.

I have seen replacement blades in many local Thai hardware stores. Just go ask.

I have done this before. I remove all componments from the case and pack them carefully and place in my luggage. When you arrive just buy a new case and reinstall, boot, and go. Always to do a back up of your hard drive.

I would read that online form very closely. I believe when you apply your electronic signature you are attesting you are physically in the USA. All apps from SE Asia must go through Phillipines. To get mine I had to get my congressman involved.
