You might, I do too, for the OP I cannot say.He asked about Free WiFi, I paid dearly for entrance to the lounge.

It was free in the Thai lounge too in BKK, so if you sit just outside the door you should be able to get on it. Just look for an Indian sat using his computer in an odd place.

Excellent, a Bill O'Reilly book on it's way to you!

I see you avoided Bushcrafts over-evaluation of the Expat's worth to the big-picture Thai economy. Generally something you pick up on. This follows on the heels of a headline regarding farang land-ownership to be quashed doesn't it. Anti-farang headlines seem to be common these days, must be trying to emulate the success of the UK's Daily Mail.

Correction accepted... I have made some effort at my own place with insulating foam on the underside of the roof and double glazing UVPC windows. But as I said my 12.2k unit handles things, I even lock the fan on low speed to keep the noise down and switch it on an hour before bedtime.... I considered for the OP that it was a bedroom and not needed for the midday heat. I also tried this calculator and came up with a slightly higher figure of 13,860 BTU/Hr. I agree with your recommendation of getting around the shops Carrefour (Now another BigC), BigC, Homeworks, HomePro, Numchai and look for special offfers. There are some units available at about 13.5KBTU, and there are often units they are selling off (end-of-line) at great prices. I just pulled out a Daikin leaflet, their 17.7500 BTU unit is 26,000 baht. I wanted to look at the Numchai website but there is a warning about it dumping trojans!

It's a catarmaran, not a cat house.

That is quite a big bedroom, mine is 5x4 metres (20sqm) and my 12,200 BTU/hr unit handles it fine. A 12k unit should handle a room that size, a little under 400 sq ft.There are always other factors, like a sun-facing wall, high ceilings, large window space.... or a person who likes it very cold ..... or is a bedroom athlete. I used these numbers... Sq Ft.............. SqM................BTUs 100 - 250............9 - 23............5000 - 6000 250 - 400...........23 - 37............6000 - 8500 400 - 550...........37 - 51............8000 - 11000 550 - 875...........51 - 81...........11000 - 15000 Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/42075 Are you sure you need to replace the current unit, it might just need servicing or gas putting in. Does it freeze up?

Yes that makes sense, thank you.

I believe there are two levels of intensive care. ICU and CCU... I have seen people in ICU who one would think did not need to be there. ( I am not a doctor, but I play one on TV). Hospitals in LOS are businesses, designed to maximise profit not health. Doctors/ consultants are on commission based remuneration. They also 'nickel and dime' you with lots of small items and unknown charges, except they are more than dimes. People are reticent to argue with doctors, as they are held up as Godlike. BPH has a reputation as being expensive here. Firstly when your brother arrives, try to tell BPH that you intend to move your father as the costs are excessive, they are frequently agreeable to retain a patient and reduce the charges. If that is not forthcoming, and your father is stable, I would consider moving to Sri Racha, the PHYATHA. Good luck with the Insurance company, best wishes to your father, and let us know how things work out. Lovedog made me think of another point.... there may well be a bike renter in the wings looking for compensation for his damaged machine. The rented bikes are generally renter responsible for all damages.

I am more of the opinion that you need to be selective of which ones you use, and of course if things do not work out, really expect them to backpedal and decline to assist you. The one you mention, Airasia, particularly the Thai wing of it, have served me well for quitte a number of times in and out of BKK. That and better schedules and prices than say Thai Airways. I use them to get around SE Asia, to go between LOS and UK, I step it up a notch.

Yes Taiwan tourist visa is not required for citizens of United States for a stay up to 30 days. Taiwan business visa is not required for citizens of United States for a stay up to 30 days. Taiwan tourist visa is not required for citizens of United Kingdom for a stay up to 90 days.

Most of the customers seem to have passed that stage and are at the thirsty/hungry red eyes and a headache symptoms. A greasy fry up seems to help and that is what you get there, cheaply. No shorage of takers so something is being done right. Last time I went there was because the girls in Canterbury Tales couldn't be arsed doing my breakfast.

Oh I know it isn't perfect. I first used it many years ago and am not the type to change until something fails me. They seem to keep it up to date and have added formats as they come around. I like the price too......40MB isn't going to hurt me.... hardly huge these days, Microsoft issue bigger updates to fix their screw-ups.

I have Format Factory for conversion and am quite happy with it. Format Factory

Yeah I normally get the driver to pop the bonnet while I check the liquid levels and look the service logbook over too.
