Ok, I got the computer I think that I need and thanks for everybodys advice. The next question is who to choose for the internet?? My room dont have a phone connection and will have to do things wireless (still trying to figure how this works)

Can I please get some more advice on who to choose and what the cost might be?? Will probably be using it most of the time to surf and chat. Not sure if I can download movies etc the same as I would back home but might like to try.

Also does anybody know who can sell me a good second hand laptop for a friend...

Thanks...

Ifn yer room aint got no tellyphone then you aint gitten no intranet lessen you steals it from yer neighbor silly!

1. the internet options open to you depend on where you are in chiang mai, i.e. some areas you have many choices, some areas you have almost none. use the thaivisa search facility to look for previous discussions on this issue (many)

2. for secondhand try thaivisa classifieds, citylife-citylife.com, bahtsold.com and craigslist bangkok

First, go to the computer club web site and see what you can find there: http://chiangmai-geeks.phpbb3now.com/ucp.p...a6e304c51c047f6 . The question has probably been answered.

But I would really recommend you come to the weekly meeting at 1 pm on Tuesdays at Tuskers. Get all the info you need and more first hand. And that way you can discuss what people recommend and make sure you understand all the options. The computer knowledge ranges from EXPERT to NOVICE, so everyone fits right in.

And the meetings are always an education to all of us.

This is not correct. Internet service is available from the cell towers, no telephone required.

Get yourself a Cat CDMA. Its a little usb device that connects to the internet by wireless at good speeds in CM .Cost to buy about 8000 baht and 800 a month. Its fast enough to download video and live football.....I get downloads nearly always higher than 900 and sometimes as high as 1400.
