CAT provide a Microwave link via a 20 Cm dish pointed at their nearest tower 7 Km away .I chose a medium speed pakage 7.5 Mbits download when I do a speed check It shows much higher at aprox 10.5 Mbits , of course the actual download speed is limited mostly by the uploading site, on a few ocations I have hade problems I get a call back in 2 hours to tel me the electricity was out at the transmitter or they sent enginers (3) the next day , strong wind had moved my dish, corected in 10 min no charge. cant fault the service I have had from them, the oridgnal instalation of dish on very thin 8Mt pole. cost about 8000 Baht compleat with 4 chanel out and wifi Router .Monthly cost 631 bhat

  3. Hi I went this morning ,horendas trafic jam throu a minor bumper bender lost about an hour got there at 845 ticket machien not working found another que to join got a ticket about 930 got a seat this time ticket came up at 1.20 Transation tool les than 30 sec .why is it taking so long, last time i didnt get a seat and had to stand for 3 hours, bean doing this for 10 years 75 now and standing for three hours is tiring to say the least. two new officers behind the counter and and so much slower than the guy who has served me for the past 9 years, I am sure they need to double the staff increase the number of windows and qudruple the number of parking places. or how about cutting it down to two times a year one included with your yearly visa and one at 6months.just thinking about when I am 90+. sorry about the rant ive still got a pain in my but for sitting so long

  5. Hi

    two places I know .One is globel but my mate who bought one from there had to buy the drive gear that attaches to the gate and some other fittings and mains wireing seperatly an it worked out about the same as the guy who supplied and fitted mine some years ago for about 24k including wireing and stainless welding. He is on the road from airport to sangkanphang befor you reach the Ping river and is next door to a car dealership. I think it is a Masda Dealer but not sure. He has a very big fancy stainless gate permanently outside

  9. Hi I have just come back from Chiang Mai immigration, About a month ago I tried to make a booking for to day didn't get a ticket or a page to print, tried to go back and do it again but it would not let me but showed that the time slot for today was now booked. I gave up and went there at 07.20 this morning, signed in on the que paper at No 46, when the Que ticket giver outer arived i got no 16 for my one year non imig. visa renewal Que. The staff arrived and started processing applications by 10.00 they were up to No 8 ( 2 officers at 2 desks working on my Que). At a few minuits to ten (the time I had booked) my name was called out and I was fast forwarded .My interview took 40 min but the officer was interuped many times by staff and I can get it done for u bods, I felt quite sorry for her, then was told to sit and wait for my passport to be returned about another 30 min, got out at a few min after 11.00
