  1. I took my AIS 3g aircard to Australia and it worked with one company straight away, then I tried another company and had to make a slight adjustment with the new company's help (on phone--but one person was not smart and then I called back later refusing to believe there was no option, and I got the smarter person--so don't give up). I have also tried it with TRUE, iMobile and DTAC here in Thailand and all work. So even tho I am American I have never tried it there AND America can be weird like that and too controlling but give it a shot. Maybe a friend in USA can walk in and ask at some business.

  2. I am wondering how the AIS 3G internet coverage in Chonburi will be effected?

    AIS does not have 3G in BKK but does in HuaHin, Chonburi and ChaingMai on the 900Mhz band. Please leave the band (900Mhz -2100Mhz argument to the many other threads on that subject).

    PS, What is 'OTOP' in the previous post?

    All I can say is I wish AIS 3G was not the only option in Chonburi, Service, just trying to get an honest answer out of them is like flying to the moon. Very frustrating.

  3. sorry bit of a newbie question here:

    I go to Mae Sai every 90 days to get my non-O marriage visa renewed. When it comes to renew the visa (after one year) can i do this at mae sai also? I was thinking I had to go to BKK. If I can do this at Mae Sai is there an office to go to or is it the border crossing?

    Yes, you can.

    But the Immigration for extending visa etc is not at the border. It is a couple of km before the border on the highway. After the trafficlight I would say it is 2 km. When you come to the walkway-bridge slow down. It is about 200 m after the bridge on your left side.

    And as OEJ says, the people there are great.

    :D:D:D

    Help! Is all this info still accurate??

    "upon arrival in Mae Sai you don't need any assistance in finding your way to the Burmese border. The imposing edifice of the newly-built Thai immigration and customs office at the very end of the Chiang Rai - Mae Sae main road, is impossible to miss. Upon being stamped out of Thailand, you cross the bridge and enter Burm. Roughly half-way over the bridge a small office on the right houses Burmese immigration, where you're offered a one-entry pass for $5 (B. 250) or a limited 10-day visa for $10"

    and this:

    "we saw a large billboard sign reading 'Thai Immigration Office' with a huge arrow pointing right. We stopped the songthaew, paid the driver and went to the office, only to discover that it had moved a kilometer north; they hadn't the time yet to take down the old sign"

    I got my one-year-visa in Mae Sai Wednesday 29th of April and the Immigration was still there 2km before the border.

    I did not see anything that looked like they were going to move soon.

    :):D:D

    I just need to cross the border (every 3 months) as my 1 year non-imm visa is still good until October 2009. So which office do I need to go to, the one 2 km before the border or the one at the border????
