if you enjoy the "water festival" it is spelt Songkran, if you don't enjoy it then is is spelt songkram which translates as "war"

I think they might be getting serious this time: Illegal Airport Taxis To Be Punished With King Power Shopping Trip

probably more correctly they may not provide "support" for Mac users - though saying they provide "support" for Windows users could probably be a breach of the trade practices act in many western countries just about any ADSL modem/router/switch/airport combination that you can get your Mac to talk to should be able to talk to true's network just as well as a Windows PC, but if you ever need to talk to true support staff you will just have to pretend you are a PC user and yes as the others have said you do not need a separate phone line for ADSL, you can (fax or talk) and (ADSL) on the same line at the same time bkkguy

but my point was this is not necessarily what TOT was referring to while a single web page may not load that much faster if you are a multi-tasker the difference can still be significant - with a couple of torrents downloading I can still google and check email while on a skype call to Oz much more easily than I could on a 2 Mb connection but I am just tormenting you because you are trapped in the distance divide rather than the digital divide :-) bkkguy

mahjongguy perhaps you might like to read up on contention issues with ADSL connections and how ISPs can offer connections with different contention ratios to different customers at the same exchange, eg business or home customers at 20:1 vs 50:1 for example which can have a significant impact on ADSL speed to the customer and yes while the international link speeds are a significant factor I can easily get 6Mbps+ speeds to Asia and Europe and 4Mbps+ speeds to the US from an 8Mbps connection in Bangkok and while your milage may vary from Pattaya I would not automatically dismiss anything above 2Mbps as a waste! bkkguy

speak to your health care practitioner about Melatonin - it may be useful in getting your circadian rhythm back under control, usually start at a small dose then increase gradually till you find the dose that works best for you. highly recommended by pilots and trolley dollies bkkguy

Embassy Confirms Bangkok Italian Restaurants Officially Outnumber Bangkok Italians Not the Nation BANGKOK - The Italian embassy in Bangkok officially confirmed yesterday that Italian restaurants now officially outnumber Italians in the city. With the opening of Italy 24, an all-night pizza diner on Convent Road , the number of Italian restaurants in the capital climbed to 981, which is one more than the 980 Italian nationals registered with the embassy. Full story

you can now suffer true's poor service and congested international links instead! and after the harrowing customer service experience of getting this upgrade installed (in BKK) it was hard to tell the difference surfing the web, but I was pleasantly surprised to see sustained download speeds 5-6 mb/s from some sites during off-peak times! bkkguy

perhaps he is giving them some hints on how to do a war on drugs? bkkguy

also movieseer does not list cinemas within a complex - I movie I wanted to see recently was shown on movieseer at 7 times each night at one cinema complex but didn't say that two of those times where at the 500 Baht a ticket "loveseat" only cinema and another was at the 700 Baht a ticket luxury cinema in the complex! bkkguy

when in doubt google Braun Contact Details - Thailand bkkguy

or perhaps try the ex-ICON group - I am sure they can give you some helpful advice, they have a hotel there now: Manathai Surin bkkguy

At least someone listens - from not The Nation: Paedophile Caught in Country That Is Not Thailand Wayne Nelson Corliss, 57, who was fingered through pictures released this week by Interpol, was apprehended in, of all places, Union City, New Jersey, in his homeland of the United States. The crazy twist of events has led some analysts to speculate that either Wayne Nelson Corliss, 57, is not a paedophile or was simply on a quick return trip home to take a break from his paedophilia in Thailand. full story bkkguy

and bacteria in food is not harmful. think of yogurt!!! obviously anyone looking for sensible information on the many dangerous molds that grow on cheese need to be getting their information from more reliable sources than lvdkeyes bkkguy

among that 25% there are probably more Buddhists and men with black hair than there are men that identify themselves as gay - should the Red Cross ban all black-haired Buddhists? when the Red Cross is carrying out its absolute duty to protect the blood supply it should be focusing on high risk behavior not labeling all people of a particular sexual orientation or hair colour as pariahs and a threat to society is this a Red Cross list that grants highest concern to young children? if the child is 10 or 15 do we only have to think once or twice? or if it is a gay man from a long term monogamous relationship that gets infected from contaminated blood then we don't have to think about it at all? bkkguy

now that the bars have given up on trying to get the go-go boys to actually dance they are now employing coyote dancers to do the dancing instead. If bars can just get some guys in who are willing to actually have sex for money then the go-go boys can get back to what they really want to do - sitting around smoking, using their mobile phones and talking amongst themselves without getting bothered by the pesky falungs! bkkguy

walk around any shopping complex or other cruise areas and every moneyboy in sight will catch your eye and smile and you probably don't need to sniff their armpits to know they are not "gay" except for pay! bkkguy

this ad on skytrain stations for a chocolate sandwich biscuit always looked gay to me, but most comments seemed to be about Thai skin colour preferences! bkkguy

as distinct from empty heads promoting it! tired old boyztown shows meet tired young Sunee go-go dancers - I am peeing in my adult diapers with excitement! bkkguy

so why does Take Care continue to raise money to buy condoms and distribute to bars? bkkguy

you're not trying to imply that all the "Mr Whatever" events in Soi 4 look the same are you? bkkguy

if you cross out some numbers then they cannot do anything with the information then why demand it? and there is no valid legal reason for them to ask for it so people should be upset! bkkguy

but they are run by the same co-op that runs the baht buses and given the ripoffs by meter taxis in tourist areas in Bangkok I am not holding out much hope! bkkguy

as a moderator of a forum on a web site that (at least in part) only continues to survive because of advertising revenue such a recommendation is perhaps a tad unwise! bkkguy

sawatdee forum seems to be down - do dns, no nothing. has Spike finally pulled the plug? After he closed a thread on the pronunciation of pattaya calling everyone "a bunch of pricks" and saying he had better things to do with his time the forum went into "admin post" only on all forums and now the whole site seems to be gone completely! bkkguy
