  1. Good idea but there are no individual letter boxes.Just 1 one each floor for all tenants on that floor.It is adjacent to the elevator.A small sign posted on the bulletin board on the bottom floor may work.
  2. Just thought I'd share.
  3. I lived on 14th floor of 2A and my next door neighbor had a corner unit-very nice on the 2B end above the pool.
  4. I think 1k baht is his limit.Oh,you mean for the condo. I lived on 14th floor of 2A and my next door neighbor had a corner unit-very nice on the 2B end above the pool.
  5. Apple Store in Central Festival 3 years ago for sure.Can't remember if its still there. From Pattaya Concierge:Apple fans can found(sic) Apple products at iStudio shop on 1st floor.Not sure if that info is current.Here's a Youtube video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=786q9XC_ewc And from another site: and technology stores with a certified Apple reseller on the third floor http://www.pattaya.bangkok.com/shopping/central-festival-shopping-mall.htm
  6. Agreed,it has been for sale,unlocked/no contract since November 2011,IIRC.The 4S was my 1st iPhone.
  7. I have bought 3 3GS on craigslist & ebay the past year for use overseas.I still have one that I use worldwide.The 5 stays home.Unlocked 4s are available in both places also.
  8. Huh? A few short days? Apple has sold every phone since the 3GS on the open market like everyone else roughly 2-3 weeks after introduction.(Unlocked,no contract)

  10. What are they testing?
  11. I should have said "next season" when I referenced Telemundo,so that may offer a few more matches,in addition to TSN for you.
  12. Agreed MM,but its the nature of the "sport".I simply posted info I thought relevant to us (US) soccer fans here.
  13. I wish you luck.Like you,this season has been on Fox Soccer & Fox Soccer Plus.And of course ESPN2.Do you get Telemundo?If so,and its a SAP broadcast,you will get English commentary if you choose.Soccer in HD is amazing.How about firing off a few-mails to Fox,ESPN and NBC.
  14. Correct,I'm the only American who has never seen it.But I just watched "The King's Speech" for the 1st time.Interesting insight to a sliver of your history.
  15. By "world",you mean a country with just 2 or 3 professional sports?I wasn't including the dart league though.
  16. All along,I thought it was that silly day-long game named after a bug,played with a flat bat,that was a mans game.Try playing with a round bat and w/o "any kind of nappies or pads"-that's a challenge.
  17. Of course,not to be confused with rugby.
  18. Wrong on both counts IMO. I've only been watching PL matches for 20 years in USA and I am not aware the matches were scheduled to appease TV audience.Surely not for US viewers.I can't think of a single sport outside of midweek college football games that may possibly fall into that category.And those games are televised in addition to the multitude of Saturday games.No other sport to my knowledge does whatsoever in my country. Soccer isn't widely viewed here but the fans we have a fanatical.The number of fans that travel to WCQ matches and the WC Finals is astounding,considering the product on the field has dropped precipitously recently.The 4 WCs I have been to show an great amount of US fans.
  19. NBC networks to televise EPL next season Read more here: http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/04/16/3347310/nbc-networks-to-televise-epl-next.html#emlnl=Today_in_Sports_Newsletter#storylink=cpy NEW YORK -- NBC is all in with the English Premier League. The EPL feels the same way about the U.S. broadcaster. All 380 English Premier League games will be televised live by NBC and its networks next season as part of a three-year, $250 million contract. The deal comes at a time when Fox and ESPN also have heavy involvement in soccer. But the world's most popular league in the world's most popular sport will belong solely to NBC for the next three years. "Nowhere do they consume sports like they do here," Premier League CEO Richard Scudamore said Tuesday. "We are not unhappy with our current broadcast partners (in the United States), but I can see we are on the threshold of taking it to a new level." The telecasts begin Aug. 17 and will be carried on NBC, NBC Sports Network, Telemundo, Mun2, other NBC television properties, and various digital outlets. NBC is scheduled to air 20 games, with 154 on NBC Sports Network; 76 of the telecasts will be in Spanish on Telemundo or Mun2; and 22 will be shown on other NBC Sports Group channels. Windows for the national telecasts are 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. ET Saturdays on NBCSN, and 12:30 p.m. on NBC; 8 a.m. Sundays on NBCSN and 11 a.m. on that channel and Telemundo; and 2:30 p.m. ET Mondays on NBCSN. In addition, NBC is making available free to all carriers of NBC Sports Network a package of every EPL game played at 10 a.m. ET on Saturdays - the primary starting time in the Premier League. Called Premier League Extra Time, it is similar to DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket. "I can't wait for Aug. 17 to come and we get started," NBC Sports Group Chairman Mark Lazarus said. "It's about making this one of the key pillars of our landscape." Arlo White, who currently calls MLS games on NBCSN, will handle play by play from England. Former Premier League players Lee Dixon and Graeme Le Saux will handle analysis. Former England national team star Gary Lineker will be a special contributor. NBCSN plans 600 hours of original and weekly studio programming. Rebecca Lowe, a fixture on European soccer coverage in Europe, will host a studio show from NBC's international broadcast center in Stamford, Conn. But all game production will be done on-site in England, with NBC using England-based announcers on games White doesn't work. Lowe recognizes the challenge of appealing to not only the avid soccer and EPL fans, but to the casual viewers - and even to newcomers. "It's a difficult balance," she said. "We have been aware of that from Day 1. I've never really had to do that. "But I think Premier League fans in America are the most sophisticated of football fans. Unlike back home, you have to seek out the games here - or you did until now. So we respect that and how much fans have put into following the Premier League. "I guess we would err on the side of the sophisticated fans while still educating the more casual fans. It can be done both ways." Lowe pointed out that something as simple as league standings - she called it "the table," as all Brits do - are compiled differently on each side of the Atlantic. In the U.S., the standings show wins, then losses, then draws (never ties, which are an entirely different matter outside the States). In England and elsewhere, its wins, draws, losses. Lowe added there won't be any extra attention paid to Americans playing in the EPL "unless they are part of the story." "There won't be any Clint Dempsey Watch," she said.
  20. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1I7ADRA_en&q=how+many+calories+burned+per+mile+when+running&oq=how+many+calories+burned+per+mile+when+running&gs_l=serp.12...3824.3824.0.5522.1.1.0.0.0.0.131.131.0j1.1.0...0.0...1c.1.9.serp.IqfOWtlhJ5E No possible answer to 1st question.
  21. In Thailand I suppose.
  22. $2450,possible but doubtful in US.The subsidized price here in the US is $199 with a 2 year contract and if you look at any of the 4 carriers offering it,there is no plan at $100+ per month except in extreme cases. Here's the definitive answer to the question,just 1 day ago,which was in my favorites. Choosing an iPhone 5 carrier: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-57512327-233/choosing-an-iphone-5-carrier/?tag=nl.e798&s_cid=e798&ttag=e798 and a little more insight: http://www.zdnet.com/iphone-5-16gb-costs-an-estimated-207-to-build-7000004476/ Hopefully tomcat this will slow the off topic back &forth.BTW,unlocked I5s were available about 3 weeks or so after introduction for $600+ for the 16gig model,IIRC.
  23. Good 1st post.Awaiting gabor's input.
  24. Here 's the list that I failed to include in my post last year. List of GSM cell phone frequencies by country http://allworldcellphones.com/gsm-frequencies-list.htm A follow up to short's post #11.
