  1. You won't find a Thailand ISP with that kind of storage I dont think... and if you did, pushing that kind of bandwidth thru it will lead to investigation. If the objects you are uploading are videos, they will eventually be seen... hope you understand what that means exactly :)

     

    I get 1mb/s on average upload with my premier package at 3bb, and I hear that True's new service gets 3mb upload. Either of those would do 5GB/day and 50 per week if you could let them go most of the day. but again, if you use that much bandwidth your account WILL get scrutinized, so if your doing something illegal here in Thailand, you WILL get caught. Thats the way they got the idiot uploading his videos from his hotel last year... forget the guys name.. was big in the news at the time.

  2. Need to find a good honest and reliable place to rent a mini-van type vehicle for a week in mid October.

     

    It will be traveling from Pattaya to Phuket/Krabi and a few places in between. Must have insurance and all that, of course.

     

    Anyone had dealings with any company or person with one they can recommend?

     

     

    Thanks,

  3. IMHO you need to contact Calum of Solor Golf.

     

    HIs board name is Doghaus. He runs the annual FLB Ride Her Cup, and is a very good guy... One of the best I know in Pattaya. He would be happy to give you all the info you need. If you prefer to call him, his number is:

  4. We had breakfast there after going to a Thai disco all night about 3-4 months ago... was terrible. Much rather pay a bit more and get something better.

     

    Price is NOT everything. True, its cheap... and its likely not going to make you sick, but it was just disgusting. Not a very good trade off for the saved money, IMHO.

  5. I suppose... if you think "a bit of a surcharge" is a 100% markup.

    Your better off having one of the expats here on Pattaya Talk getting a card for you.

     

    Well, thats not true I guess.. its only $6 for 100 baht, but still... Just something about giving a falang a 100% markup on anything that just doesn't sit right with me.

     

    For the record I would be happy to get a card for anyone who wants one... You can pay me actual value via PayPal at todays exchange rate, and including the small paypal fee (I think its like $0.25 + 3% or something). I have done that for people before. Come to that, if I know you I wont charge you at all and you can slip me the 100 baht next time your in town.

  6. Lol.

     

    Sorry, didnt see it :)

     

    Posted from my phone... wasnt really paying attention. Just wanted to make sure it was out here somewhere... Drove all the way to the old shop in Naklua... would have been good to know :D

     

    As to nude photos... Ya, we could get some... tho most of the staff there are male :D

  7. Sorry Villa, not sure why I missed this... the new forum pointed it out to me lol. (nice!)

     

    Iphone does not and has no plans to support Flash, so no.. you will never be able to see that (or any other Flash content) on Iphone.

     

    One of my biggest complaints about Iphone. Its Apples opinion that Flash should not be used on websites because its too heavy. I happen to agree with that idea - I have always hated developing or hosting Flash applications, but its not really up to Apple - Flash is very prominent on thousands of websites... all of which will not work on Iphone.

     

    Silverlight has the potential to replace most Flash content, but I dont think Iphone supports that either. Not sure about HTML5 either, tho I am sure Apple will eventually support that at least.

     

    Love my Ipod... hate the Iphone.

  8. Any particular reason why?

     

    I mean... I am sure they have good doctors at the hospital, but they are likely not as good as the ones that do it all day every day... and checking a prescription for glasses is one of the easiest things to do... its not rocket science by any stretch... Not arguing with ya, just curious about the reason... it would seem to me that the guys that do it at the place(s) you purchase the glasses are likely just as good if not better then the ones you will find at the hospital, and in many cases likely the SAME doctor does both (I know several clinics open after 5pm that have docs working there after they finish their shift at the hospital)...

  9. Well... its that time of the decade again. Time to go see if my poor(ish) eyesight has gotten any worse since I last purchased glasses (2.5 years ago, give or take)...

     

    Last time I was happy with the service I got at the optometrist in Mike Shopping Mall lower level on the beach road end (Cannot remember their name), but figured since a quick search of this section had no returns, I would ask here. Where do you all go and why?

     

    If I recall last time I paid about 7k baht for 2 pair of very good glasses... Lacoste (not knock offs), and they have done me well over the last 2+ years... Truth be told they are still in good condition and could likely go another year or 2 if my prescription hasnt changed, but I think I am ready for a change lol. So... Where to go?

     

    I dont want any place that pushes copies... one thing I don't (and never will) skimp on is my glasses... since I wear them 16+ hours a day and work 12 of those behind a computer... Would prefer Digital Performance eyewear if they can be found in Thailand (Glasses made for computer users - expensive, but reduces headaches after looking at computers for 12 hours lol). I used to pay $500+ back in the states... and would pay the same here if needed.

     

    TIA

  10. Ahh, also will add I was in Mistys after that... got there about 3:10... they were open, but the lights popped on after about 10 minutes.. girls fled upstairs. Music was stopped, but came back on quieter and the girls danced another 5 minutes or so until another cop came by... place closed at that point... tho a few of us (including Paul) ended up staying until a little after 4 (pissing the Thai manager off in the process lol)
