I frankly dont understand why a 5* is so necessary in bangkok anyway. The 4* hotels you get through priceline are great. In Sukhumvit...you most likely get the Novotel Lotus. On the river you often get the Marriott bangkok resort and spa which except for not being "close to the action" I would choose over the Peninsula anyday. Of course if you get the Peninsula...respect there is a two way street...be discreet. Of course nowadays, priceline is putting 5* guests in the shangri-la on the river.

Jimmy If I worked for AMEX...Id be making a heck of a lot more money than I do at my job ;-)

First to Valentino....lighten up....geez. As for Jimmac...picture this You have your wallet stolen. So now your atm card and cash are gone...the bank is so sorry theyll get you a new card in 10 days. Even in the days of atm cards, you still need travellers cheques for an emergency. Although all currency places in pattaya may accept all those various checks , when you need to get those checks replaced . American express is absolutely golden about replacing lost cheques....Ive never had a problem getting cheques replaced through them. Whether you buy Canadian $ cheques or US $ cheques get the amex cheques. Both Thai Military Bank and Thai Farmers Bank will cash Amex cheques fee-free. I just checked this on their site. Also I found out that if you lose your passport and credit cards along with your cheques...that amex will actually help replace them...and you dont even need to be a cardholder just purchasing the cheques is enough.

Spend the little bit extra and get AMERICAN EXPRESS travellers cheques denominated in US dollars. Youll sleep easier. Yes I know Canada is not a third world country but most people outside of North America even know Canada has its own money :-)

Several possible explanations 1) wrong type of memory 2) You put it in wrong 3) bad ram socket 4) bios issue 5) heat 6) Bad quality memory Suggestions 1) make sure you have good quality memory. computer stores dont necessarily sell you good stuff, a site like crucial.com will. 2) Make sure your bios is fully updated 3) make sure your memory is not running too fast. Some memory wont run at what is called CL-2 but will instead only run at CL-3
