Small thing, but a few years ago I finished a Thailand visit with a side trip to Phnom Penh and flew Bangkok Air. My flight back to the U.S., on Eva (I think) was later in the day after my return flight from Phnom Penh. Having booked the flights separately, the information about the Eva flights was not in Bangkok Air's system, but I did have a print out of the Eva itinerary. I asked the Bangkok Air check in agent in Phnom Penh if she could check my luggage through on my Eva flights later in the day. To my pleasant surprise, not only did she understand my request, she was able to do it.

Brooklyn Diner on Soi BuaKhao - UPDATED Jan. 12, 2015

I had the bacon cheeseburger recently by way of Waiter on Wheels. It was quite a good burger period. Cheese slice probably came wrapped in plastic from Big C, but that would be quibbling. It did have real bacon. -
Good luck, but offering seat selection doesn't guarantee there won't be a change of aircraft.

On the other hand, going from Suk to 2nd Road on Klang went quite well late this afternoon.

Getting back to Teelack's original question, I should think the best answer is to get to the AIS store at his earliest convenience. Worst they can do is say no. Some of us could show we had topped up our mobile number online through our bank. Whether AIS, DTAC or whoever would care might be a different matter.

registered sim cards and banned internet sites
nkped replied to 9cisco999's topic in Technical problems or questions.
As I said at 43 above, registered my SIM at the AIS store yesterday. Checked my number at the AIS site https://aiseservice.ais.co.th/eServiceWeb/ today and it came back with my name associated with the number. -

Since some take great comfort in such things, thought I would pass this along "This week on 60 Minutes, Lesley Stahl and producer Shachar Bar-On got an early look at Memex, a powerful new search engine developed by DARPA, the U.S. military's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The inventor of Memex, Chris White, sat down with Stahl and Bar-On and explained how Memex works--and how it could revolutionize law enforcement investigations. (See Chris White's demonstration in the video player above.) "The internet is much, much bigger than people think," White said. "By some estim -

Probably just a coincidence, but I discovered this morning I could not send SMS texts and, apparently, could not make calls on my phone with an AIS SIM. Even topped up 200 baht through Kasikorn as a I thought that would generate a text to me. Nothing. It worked fine as a WiFi device. So I headed off to the AIS store in Central Festival. Young lady checks my number and then checks to be sure there is a SIM. Then she restarts the phone. After all, it's a computer, if all else fails, reboot. The phone worked. She then asked if I wanted to register the phone. I had brought my pas -

Brooklyn Diner on Soi BuaKhao - UPDATED Jan. 12, 2015

Missed the suggestion it was some variation of an American breakfast. Believe it includes what our British colleagues call bacon. -
What everyone overlooks is that the play NE lined up for before the off sides penalty and the display of rooster fighting would not have been a kneel down. A kneel down would have resulted in a safety, two points and a free kick with enough time on the clock for a play or two. Brady was clearly going to dive forward to keep it out of the end zone. He would probably have kept the ball and gotten it out of the end zone but the Seahawks solved the problem for him.

Perfect, not that cold but far enough below freezing that you don't have to worry about slush on the roads.

Flew to Buriram today on a Nok Air ATR-72. Thought it best to not ask the GFE provider whether she had seen the news.

You checked? On second thought, that's probably a given that he is single.

Trip to Bangkok immigration for retirement conversion
nkped replied to nkped's topic in Expat Issues
Walking out on the water here, but the officer told me I would get 45 days and after a month I could go to Jomtien for the one year extension. -
After living in the Seattle area for 5 years, I can verify they never apologize. After the replacement officials bestowed on them a touchdown against Green Bay on the last play of the game a few years ago, the local sports radio guys were earnestly explaining why the call was correct.

Made my trip to Bangkok Immigration last week to apply to convert my tourist visa to a non-immigrant O. Hope I got the terminology correct as, yes, it does matter. I had executed my income affidavit the day before at the US Embassy. The first step is getting to the correct office. My first try to figure out where to go on Google Maps gave some place SE of Lumpini Park. That would not have been good. I needed to go to Division 1, which is out in the direction of Don Muang airport. http://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/location1.html I copied the address from the website and showed i

"Across Asia, which is the epicenter of the motorcycle boom, two- and three-wheeled vehicles account for about a third of all highway deaths, with the highest numbers in Southeast Asia. In Cambodia, for example, motorcycle crashes represent 67 percent of all road deaths; in Thailand and Laos it has reached a staggering 74 percent. . . . . According to the World Health Organizations (WHO), Thailand, with 38 road fatalities per 100,000 in population, is the worlds second most dangerous place to drive anything (the Dominican Republic is first)." From a longer, somewhat meandering article, De

Anybody bought levitra recently? Yes, I know it will be pricey.

I knew of Katy Perry but it was telling that I recognized almost none of her music. True has the game on 3 channels with Thai commentators and none of the commercials. Sigh

In El Paso, Texas, the locals all seemed to be of the opinion there was no car beyond their right foot. You would consistently see cars stopped at intersections or coming out of driveways with the front third of the car sticking out into traffic.
