  1. If you have a wireless LAN, you can use Skype via a PDA or other mobile device while wandering about.

    Slightly off-topic : for a "rude" member, you are behaving exceptionally well...

  2. I have an internet shop and get all the time (this month less), orders from Nigeria, Indonesia, sometimes Vietnam, sometimes ex Sovjet countries, Venezuella (but funny enough not Thailand) with stohlen creditcard number.

    How do you know the creditcard numbers were stolen ? And how difficult is it for a bonafide internetcafe to detect spyware ?

  3. Internet cafes, especially the cheap ones, are notorious for being full of spyware, keyloggers, and I won't use public computers in Thailand for internet banking or e-booking.

    Do you have any facts to back your statement ? Or do you rely on rumours ? Just curious.

    I have been using internet banking and booking airline tickets online for 8 years and 2 of those in Thailand. I have not had any trouble, or maybe I'm just lucky. I delete temp internet files , clear websites viewed & delete cookies every time I finish. With Internet banking just remember to always log off, and change passwords often. Bank pays for lost money anyway, well mine does. Yes I think it's just rumours.

    Thanks for your replies.

  4. Saw them stringing up  cable around my moo baan that didn;t look like electric or phone, so I asked what it was and indeed it's... Cable TV!!! 'BTV' apparently.

    I was already getting increasingly fed up with UBC, especially the huge cost and secondly the stupid Red Screen of Death during commercial breaks.. So you bet that at the first opportunity that UBC dish comes off!!

    So.. what's BTV like then?  Price?  Does it have BBC World and perhaps ESPN/Star sports?  Don't rally care about anything else though I suppose they offer some movies, series and perhaps Discovery/National Geographic?

    Cheers,

    It's called "WETV". Price is 350 Baht per month, they have BBC, DW, a movie channel and quite a few other channels. Office opposite SriTanna School at Huay Kaew Road.

  5. Try to remember Thai education is 1/4 of ours and 99.9% of most Thai have never been to another country! So how are they suppose to know what the real world is really like!

    Try to remember that Thai education concerning inner culture is 4 times more than ours. So how are we supposed to know what real inner culture is really like !
