Mike KIWI Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Bored out of my brain. Only 7 days to go. Tropicana has a nice pool just meters away which I wish I could use. Anyone want any tips on getting back in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gsxrnz Posted October 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2021 Learn the Michael Jackson moonwalk . They won't know if you're coming or going. Or....wear a suit. Thais never ask anybody wearing a suit what they're up to. Wearing a suit gives you superhero powers that makes it look like anything you do is unquestionably legitimate. 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the punishment is for absconding, not that I am going to do so. Edited October 19, 2021 by Mike KIWI adding something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have ordered a SIM in time for your arrival and added a 20 Mbps data pack to it: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ais-4-10-20-mbps-wifi-6-i2832805441-s10335143437.html I guess you were busy enough getting everything together just to be able to land. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you jumped here directly from the nineties? Decide on the phone and package you want beforehand. What's your budget and requirements? If you don't, you'll be dependent on the knowledge, honesty and competency of the vendor that you choose. I wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many phones are still SIM locked to a particular network for instance the phones sold in 7/11 are locked to True, at AIS and Dtac shops they display 2 prices the cheaper price is for a monthly contract and SIM locked phone...not sure if the expensive price is unlocked or not ? I'll have to ask next time I'm in there. 24 minutes ago, Mike KIWI said: wonder if tukcom is open. Yes Tukcom is still open, around half the phone shops have disappeared though they seem to be very slowly returning..I never could figure out how so many shops selling the exact same thing could make a profit all within in shouting distance of each other ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB JOSHUA Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 From what you were saying, boredom and so close to the pool but can't use it, this was the main reason I went with Phuket Sandbox, freedom of the island and was in the pool quite often + some bars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
