True joe... but thats why I said "free" sites. Its not just porn and torrents... but "free MP3s" or just about anything else "free" is suspect. Hell, even links directly from reputable websites are not even safe. There are millions of virus-infected websites around the net, and not even all of them are intentional. Some legitimate websites are infected as well. Even the FLBBar website was infected by one of its components a couple years ago - The gallery software as I recall. MM updated to the latest version of the gallery application and it was infected (not a cracked or torrented versio

No idea mate. It may well do, but like you I never got out until afternoon... so I dont know for sure. Be prepared for a long trip from Naklua to center pattaya tho... better prepared then annoyed :) btw, I will be at Cherry Bar on the 19th... 18th ill be on Soi 6, and 17th am going to Ban Chang for their one day songkran. :)

I hired one about 3 years ago on the beach for 2500 all day. 8000 is crazy... no way I would pay that for a speedboat.

Preaching to the wrong crowd miss Jaa. Most people here wont pay 2k for a LT.. much less more for a ST. Your rates are fucking crazy.

Its pretty obvious that most people posting suggestions here have not been here for Songkran. Sukhumvit, as well as ALL roads in to pattaya, will be gridlocked with traffic moving slower than those walking on the side of the road on the 18th and 19th - moreso on the 19th. Sukhumvit is gridlock from the second road in to Naklua (I forget its name) until around Soi 87 (opposite Makro shopping center - other side of Jomtien). Not sure about the 18th, but on the 19th the regular bus service did not run last year. No big busses came down sukhumvit at all - so even the Rayong-bkk line mu

Avast is likely the best FREE AV/AM software out there, but if you do a lot of hard core surfing, I recommend BitDefender. Of the paid AV/IS systems out there, I have found it to be the best mix between resource usage and ability to detect/fix new issues quickly. And at $39/year for 3 computers its not too expensive.

Never been much of a Porn person... much rather go get the real thing... and I live in the Porn capital of the world, and have plenty of money. No need for porn :) As to downloads... I do have my sources of programs, but none come from websites, and I know how to verify files before they ever reach my computer. I do not use Torrents (except on a very very rare occasion), and stay away from any website that offers cracked software (or anything free for that matter). I am a software developer... I know exactly how viruses and adware work, and how to avoid them. Many people do not.... at

I set it to run once a week at like 4am. If you browse the internet all day, or visit suspect sites (like Porn or "free" download sites), then run it nightly.

Thats one of my favorite free softwares... The guy that wrote it is a german kid (well, was when he wrote it years ago), and hates spyware. its not a "virus" remover per se... but what you had was not a virus. It was "Scareware"... linked in there with Adware. System restore always works, but is buggy as hell sometimes.. gotta be careful doing a system restore. Glad it worked tho!

Try Spybot Search and Destroy... not sure which virus you have, but it finds most of them, and is free. Get it here: http://security.kolla.de

Finally an answer that makes sense!

How much is the electric billed at? Still tho... I think too much for an apartment, especially if your raped on the electric at 8b like most places in town.

I never noticed the salt to be honest... if there was any, it was only a very very small amount, and I ordered a side of chips with every order (I like using the beans for bean dip =P) It has been a long while since I was at tequila reef... Will give it another go in the next few days. I love mexican food... I do hope they are better then I remember.

Tequila Reef has nothing on the quality or portions at Mikes. Not sure what you ordered... likely an appetizer. I'm a fairly good size bloke and I can never finish my meals there - always leave stuffed. It is a bit spendy compared to some places, but well worth it IMHO. TR on Soi 7 does not taste near as good, tho their sloppy nachos are better... I think thats the only thing better IMHO.+

True - I can have a night out here for less then 1k baht sometimes - usually when I go to the Cherry Bar and end up staying there all night lol. Walking street on the other hand... There are a number of bars that I can't walk in and get sat down before I have 5 drinks on my bin lol. Oh well

When I budgeted my trip I would do it like this: Pay for hotel/plane on my credit card in advance (I always stayed at the same place), so that was paid up. Budget 10k per day for all but 3 days of the trip Budget 15k per day for those 3 days I usually had money left over at the end of the trip... but not always. I would sometimes get 2 STs in a day, then take 2 (and once 3) ladies LT at night. Money goes fast here... Heck, I STILL spend 10k on a good (or bad) night out, tho its uncommon now that I live here.

This in Thailand or USA? Cause if its in Thailand, and your using Thai purchased CDs... that might be your issue. The fail rate of Thai CDs is pretty high... I lose one in 4 usually. With a good USA brand I get a 100% success rate. If thats not the case, your drive could be dirty. You said its a laptop... then when you open the drive you should see the laser head in the tray. Use a can of air to blow it (gently!) clean. If you see anything on it, you can use a Q-Tip and rubbing alcohol to clean it, but GENTLY - do not scratch it, then blow it dry with the canned air. Only do that if it

We have had a couple cold days this week, but not too bad. If you are used to cold weather then come as usual. If not, bring a sweater or buy one here if you need one. You shouldnt tho... in the day time its fine (just cool), but at night if you ride a motorbike (especially out of town) it can get downright cold. That said, today was hot as usual so the weird weather might be over. 10k a day is plenty for a good holiday. Enough to buy things, have a shorttime, eat well and a long time every night (even paying LDOP prices).

Your right. You are not worthy. You are not worthy of the shit I flush down the bog every morning. Looks like you might just be learning... tho I kinda doubt that. Your too stupid to learn simple things. :D

If you want more replies... it would be a good idea to learn how to post the details here. Some people here have logins for PA, but my guess is that most do not or will not be bothered to go there to look. I know I won't... and I am in the market for a new place.

Yup. WAY too many warning flags before you even got to the room. Thats what forums like this are for... learning (preferably ahead of time) things just like this. Been reported a number of times on this forum.

Unless one of the cable companies has a line in there, your options are nil, other then over the air by AIS/DTAC. Even satellite requires that you have a phone line (or other internet connection) to work. I suggest you choose a new village, if possible. Pick where you want to live based on your needs... if you can that is.

First, not everything you have read about Pattaya is true, likely. Become a member here first by following the instructions in the "HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER" thread. Then read some of the newbie section. Most of your questions are answered there. Few people will respond to you when you are not a full member.

Ignore the idiots. Your just fueling their next rant. I personally don't expect the SALESMEN i do business with to be highly educated or use correct punktuation Now if the owner of the school were to make the post... maybe. A salesman? No. Sure it would have been better maybe, but who gives a shit really? Its not like anyone is going to sign up from this forum actually intending to LEARN thai... they just want the visa.

So... your saying that each person in christchurch is "6 times" more important and/or more missed then each of those from the other "incidents"? Not cool dude. Its a tragedy, to be sure... and our well wishes go out to the families of those lost. But there is no way you can compare the above events in the way you are trying to. 240 grieving families is quite a bit less than the 2752 families that grieved (and are still grieving) after the trade center tragedy.
