^ That's a pretty good price, only about 1,000 baht more than if I purchased in the U.S. and brought it here. The uplift was lot more on previous Nexus devices.
-
Typically DTAC also bundle in significantly discounted services as well, the net savings from which can stretch to 3.600 - 5,400 baht over 18/24 months. But we'll have to wait for something on DTAC's website to see for sure.
I plan to wait a bit to see if people are happy with the GNex 5, and then purchase in the U.S. during a Christmas.New Years trip, where I can get the unit for $385 all in, or about 12,000 baht.

It really depends on the exact location. In the Amphur Muang (City of Phrae), DTAC and TrueMove H work fine. In the smaller districts TrueMove H is probably a better solution. I spend some time in Long, and TrueMove H is fine, but as you are no doubt aware, it is fairly hilly there so I've seen a lot of dead spots, except if you are on AIS (GSM900, no 3G in those remote-ish areas).
I always suggest talking to neighbors to see what they are using - I guarantee they'll know better than anyone here.

Note this is one year warranty
Who is the warranty agent?
I'd submit that any units available here/now are grey-market imports, are not localized by LG and that LG would not provide warranty service/repair/replacement.
Perhaps the shop provides the warranty? Or maybe you'd return it to the U.S.?
The LG D821 (i.e. localized Google Nexus 5) does show on the LG/Thailand website as "coming soon". http://www.lg.com/th/phone/all-phone
At the few shops in MBK where I asked today, any which had the GNex 5, and many did, they were grey-market imports from the U.S. - purchased in the U.S. by Thais, consolidated and shipped/hand-carried here. The one unit I was able to hold/examine was the North American variant, the D820. It seems like the avg. price was 16,300.

As near as I could determine, DTAC shuttered their previous version of their Android app. a few months ago, and then rolled out this new version on 1 Nov.
To me it seems like a completely new app., definitely better, faster, slicker, more informative, but then I hadn't used the old version in a few months - it always hung/FCed and there was not a version in the Play Store. I think it is a WiP as there are screens for inbox (SMS?) and notifications (USSD?). My current version is 3.1.11.020
Also, you have to be on 3G, rather than WiFi, and no need for a password. Assume verification is done OTA via SIM/IMSI/IMEI etc.
I just wish TrueMove H had something similar.

We had another long thread on this topic. I did my best to say that this would fail. I did my best to say it wasn't health care reform. I did my best to say that nothing had been done to address the very high costs of health care in the US.
I did my best to tell that this was not government health care or free health care, but rather a mandate that everyone buy insurance or pay a fine. I did my best to warn. I did my best to say that costs would go up. I did my best to say that it wouldn't work.
Who's laughing now?
Not me.
By all accounts things seem to be working pretty well in Massachusetts, but understand that many here fear/dislike change, expect instantaneous results, prefer to be negative and never offer workable alternatives.
Not sure if you were prescient, or just another nattering nabob of negativism. Are you picking lottery numbers now?
I'm from MA and have family/friends who work in the DPH, and they seem to be extremely positive.

FYI, DTAC launched a pretty spiffy, new e-Service Android app. on 1 Nov.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=th.co.crie.tron2.android&hl=en
They also launched a new web-based e-Services platform which is greatly improved over their already industry-leading platform. (Although AIS now have nearly equivalent Android/mobile and web-based platforms.)
You may have to re-register for this new e-Servies platform - I did, and had to create a new password.

Thai social media is on fire with this - we got a few warnings yesterday during the day. It seems like, based on the localization (Wireless Road, a few ATMs: Kasikorn and Bangkok Bank - a stone's throw from the Lumphini District Police Station
) that several ATMs were skimmed and PINs compromised, quickly sold/transferred to the Ukraine, where they were used at a potentially complicit bank. -

Full disclosure: I voted for Obama, twice.
What is so hard to understand is why he failed to closely manage, perhaps even micro-manage, the entire ACA implementation process instead of assuming everything would work. Some may say that the POTUS must delegate and hope for the best, but for a program that may well be his only lasting legacy he should have had the best/brightest working on this and reporting weekly on the status. Many have commented on the sophisticated systems Obama and the Dems used to raise money, target outreach and get out the vote, and the brains/software/systems behind those highly successful efforts. It just seems like it would have been fairly simple to get some of those same people to manage the ACA/Healthcare.gov efforts, and even pull in some folks from Massachusetts.
Instead of nailing a three pointer to seal his legacy he fumbled the game away calling a time-out he doesn't have, a la Chris Webber.
If Only Obama Cared As Much for ObamaCare As He Did About Reelection
After the 2012 election, a great deal of time was spent discussing the wide technical gap between the capabilities of the Romney and Obama websites as well as their respective get-out-the-vote efforts. While Romney had entrusted a deeply flawed system called Orca with his Election Day strategy, the Obama reelection team relied on a robust website that many have attributed, at least partially, to his victory. It’s too bad that the Obama administration didn’t use that technological acumen to build a website that was at least half as sound for its signature piece of legislation, ObamaCare.
The centerpiece of the whole Obama campaign was its fundraising capabilities, without which all of the other applications may have been moot. The 2012 campaign’s online donation system was a complete rebuild from the 2008 effort, VanDenPlas said, “a multi-region, geolocated, three facility processor capable of a per second transaction count sufficiently high enough that we failed to be able to reach it in load testing. It could also operate if every other dependent service had failed, including its own database and every vendor.”

Might be easier to just get a calling card? Free local access, 1 baht/min to fixed or mobile in the U.S.A.
http://www.thaitelephone.com/EN/calling-card/thailand/catphonenet/index.php
Any shared connection, even a 30/3 3BB FTTx line shared across 10 units, and God knows how many devices, using routers with no provision for QoS for VoIP traffic, means that you're going to run into all sorts of potential problems.

no mention of LTE in the brochure.
A colleague visiting from the U.S. had one which I got to use this past week - had to configure some apps for him. Seemed pretty nice but I'm not a 7" tablet fan myself.

If you are alumni/ae (graduate), of a college or university in the U.S. it is usually pretty easy to get an .EDU email address. I graduated many, many moons ago - long before email was invented - and got one from both undergrad. and grad. schools, for free.

More maps...September/October updates.
My tracert to EUR goes via Singapore and the UK, then into EUR, often Amsterdam.

Some customers are still waiting to hear from CAT that their issues are resolved. Were supposed to hear today (7 Nov), but nothing so far.
We are cutting over one customer to CAT OnNet (FTTx) 30/5 currently. Awaiting some reports on experiences. Not expecting much.

The BTS station at Asoke was impassible at ~ 12:30 PM, arriving pax. backed up from the mezzanine to the platform, in-bound trains very full.

Many people here in Thailand ordered the GNEX 4 from the U.S. Play Store, albeit using a VPN, and then a re-shipper like shipito. Shipito even have a facility in some sales tax-free states, but maybe with a slightly higher fee?
Obviously you'd need a Google Play account, and a valid/acceptable credit card, and an account with shipito.

shipito: http://www.shipito.com/
LG did ultimately localize the GNEX4/16 GB (LG E960) for distribution in Thailand. I think the MSRP started out at 17,900, then dropped to 14,900. It is now down to 12,900, at least it was yesterday when I saw it at a TGFone shop in MBK.

^ Uhm, that sounds like an "involuntary" downgrade.
Been know to happen on TG when VIPs show up, and move members of their retinue booked in Economy or Business, up to join them in Business or First, and unceremoniously dumping full-fare business or first pax to the rear or off the plane entirely when they complain. (Some have even been threatened with police action if they fail to move rearwards.)

If going to the Bangkok International Trade and Exposition Center (BITEC) I might take the BTS (Skytrain) - Sukhumvit Line towards Bearing to Bang Na station - E13 - and use Exit #1? I think you can walk up Sukhumvit Road a short way and then duck into a recently constructed walkway which will take you into BITEC.

so please support your notion that the report is full of lies
Jeez, that's no fun. It's so much easier to just dismiss something I don't like, agree with or have a desire to learn about.

Kinda, sorta hard to gloss this one over, but carry on...
New York, NY — An independent panel of military, ethics, medical, public health, and legal experts today charged that U.S. military and intelligence agencies directed doctors and psychologists working in U.S. military detention centers to violate standard ethical principles and medical standards to avoid infliction of harm. The Task Force on Preserving Medical Professionalism in National Security Detention Centers (see attached) concludes that since September 11, 2001, the Department of Defense (DoD) and CIA improperly demanded that U.S. military and intelligence agency health professionals collaborate in intelligence gathering and security practices in a way that inflicted severe harm on detainees in U.S. custody.
According to the Task Force, the DoD specifically:• Excused violations of ethical standards by inappropriately characterizing health professionals engaged in interrogation as “safety officers,” masking one of their key functions;• Implemented rules that permitted medical and psychological information obtained by health professionals to be used in interrogations;• Required physicians and nurses to forgo their independent medical judgment and counseling roles, as well as to force-feed competent detainees engaged in hunger strikes even though this is forbidden by the World Medical Association and the American Medical Association;• Improperly designated licensed health professionals to use their professional skills to interrogate detainees as military combatants, a status incompatible with licensing; and• Failed to uphold recommendations by the Army Surgeon General to adopt international standards for medical reporting of abuse against detainees.http://imapny.org/medicine_as_a_profession/interrogationtorture-and-dual-loyalty

So you had the exact same SIM for seven (7) years without a problem. Then you get some new Chinese key fob phone, whatever the heck that might be, and now you have a problem? Does that pretty much sum up your travails?
The rocket-scientist in me says it might be your new phone.
It might be sending all your details IMSI/number/IMEI OTA to a cloned IMEI to which they then resell all your credit. Proabably a scam, but maybe not a Thai scam?
At a minimum I would bin the phone, and likely get a new SIM and number.

If I were purchasing a new device today I might opt for the ZTE MF70, which is a new generation of USB form-factor devices which can also double as a stand-along MiFi router, with power provided by a simple USB charger, or even a portable battery pack.
This device supports rates to 21 down/5.76 up Mbps and costs less than 2,000 baht here.
