  1. I am off back to sunny old England :D  and would like to know whether I'd be better off exchanging my Bahts here in Thailand or wait till I get to England or doesn't it make the slightest difference?

    Another question, I have an Thai bank a/c which has issued me with a 'visa electron' card...can I use this in the U.K and does anyone know what the 'penalties' for doing so are?

    Thx!  :D

    Jingingna..ja!!  :o

    If you do decide to get it changed in the UK, do NOT use the post office, there a bunch of robbin jippos :D They'll swear blind to you that they cannot be beaten....

  2. Word of advice if your planning on buying from http://www.sinsiamelectronics.com/tvmenu.htm on silom road near the BTS.

    Recived delivery of a TV/Home Theatre system yesterday evening, within 2 hours the home theatre had packed in, 100% manufacturers fault and not theres I know, BUT. They say I have to take it to the shop to have it looked @. Is this the usual protocol in thailand? I countered by saying that I would be filing for a refund from my CC company for defective goods if they didnt sort it out @ my home, now awaiting a phonecall. Do their engineers not have legs?

    Surely this cant be right, what would have happened if it was the TV that packed in? They would have expected me to take a 40" TV to the shop to have it looked @?

    Avoid these people, complete pi55 takers from what I can gather :D

    The other thing they did, was convince me to travel to the shop to pay for the items promising same day delivery if I did, upon arrival I was told they never had it in stock and I would have to wait till the following day, so that was another 2 hours these jokers wasted.... :o

  3. Be V.Carefull, some of the less exclusive malls that look cosha will have shops in them selling top quality fakes but passing them off as original :D I remember paying USD$200 for some sunglasses in singapore that turned out to be fake, this was from somewhere of similar standing to Emporium :o

    Yer pretty much going to pay the same here as you would in the UK anywayz, + theres not the same selection in thailand.

    Deffintely some bargins to be had though, in pattaya a month or so ago there was a cerruti jeans promotional stand in one of the malls for some reason, they were selling genuine polos/underware/etc @ less than 20% of the UK highstreet price.

  4. MICROSOFT Corp.’s next-generation operating system codenamed “Longhorn” is now being sold illegally for only 100 baht in one of Bangkok’s popular information technology shopping centers way ahead of the software’s public debut in 2005.

    I first saw CD of Longhorn more than one year ago.

    That's fresh news !!!!

    But everytime I go Panthip, they sell me a CD for 150 Baht.

    Does journalist have a special price, or am I usually screwed up ?

    there taking the piss yeti, the windows CDs are <deleted> quality un-printed CD-Rs with a photocopy for a sleave, if any.

    You can get any PS2 DVD game for 100 bat with a top quality printed disc and sleave :o

  5. http://www.sinsiamelectronics.com/tvmenu.htm  have some models , i went for a samsung plasma , not sure what you looking for .

    if you go to HomePro they have catalogues ( sony , Samsung , pioneer )  with a lot of different models

    as i said happy with it , but for the price was expected to be ...

    price can be drop by 10% too ( not in Central or Hompro )

    bye

    where r u from if you dont mind me asking, they would only offer me a 5% discount :o

  6. What does my mia   noi do all day.?Well, when she is Bangkok she has to go to school or work. I paid one and a half years for her at AUA, and lately she has been working in a business I set her up in .

    It doesn't throw off enough cash to make her independent yet, thus I still have to pay her apartment rent and other incidentals.

    When I am in Thailand the mia noi usually comes down to my beach house in Phuket with me on holiday leave. In Bangkok, though I can only take her out to small places where I am not likely to see my business partners or their wives  -  as it would not be socially acceptable for her to appear in public with me. She understands and accepts this.

    One thing that she really  likes to do is come to Hong Kong or Singapore with me. Again she stays in the hotel when I have business oriented functions but otherwise we can go out to many places in those towns. And, of course ,she really enjoys shopping with an American Express  credit card that I got  her.

    Also when I  am too busy to spend time with her, the mai noi is welcome to have family members from Issan stay with her in Bangkok, so there is often a brother or sisiter in the apartment. But, when I come for the night they need to disappear quick. Also, she knows that I have detectives checking on her to ensure that she never receives any male visitors, because the moment I discover that she has slept with another chap, the monthly payments will cease, and the apartment  rent  and the BMW lease will no longer be paid by my accountant.

    So could we say it's like buying exclusive rights to a prostitute?

    no thats called marrige in this town :o

  7. if yer using a thai orange mobile its 15b a minute to UK landline or mobile.. very reasonable

    Is that a special offer? When did that start?

    There's nothing to indicate this on their website; Orange (Not that it's up to date)

    I've been gettin that rate since around easter maybe even christmas, used to be 20bat? I think it maybe offpeak only tho :o

  8. Does anyone know of any Internet cafe's with ADSL in BKK and a place around Koh Samui ? Im looking for a place with around 512mb ADSL.

    cheers :D

    most internet cafe in bangkok will be using ADSL, im not sure but probably samui aswell. Its 512kbps by the way :o

  9. maybe some threads should be closed not because they go off topic, but because of the topic? george, oh george....................... 

    yingisagirl is most likely a guy troll.

    Thank you! At least someone knows what I'm talking about.

    Cheers GFB. You know.. I was just thinking exactly the same. Maybe it should be "cumming" on the title. :o

    No one is coming to kiss my arse, by the way? :D

    no but i'll cum in yer ass if that invitation is open aswell :D
