I find it hard to believe that the problems described would be isolated to one individual (thus far) if the admin password were compromised. It's much more likely the user's password was compromised. Mobile posting

I just got an extension in November, but still have to do my 90 day report in December, since I last arrived in Thailand in September. I asked about it specifically and they said I had to do the report based on my entry date. Mobile posting

Yes they have done that in every election since Thaksin came to power. Now the anti-government rabble is demanding the country be run by an unelected council of the rich and powerful. They don't want democracy anymore, since they can't win. Mobile posting

We watched from the back deck behind FLB last night. Here are some photos taken with an S3. Mobile posting

You posted this identical message on at least one other forum. I'm going to have to remind the membership that you are a shill posing as an enthusiastic customer or friend of the bar. You are spamming with your praise. I don't know your interest, not do I care, but it's not helping your friend. I like Ricky and Private Dancer and wish them the best, but take a very dim view of your contributions. This is a deceptive tactic, and I will not allow it to continue on this board. Final warning.

Thanks, CT. That's a well thought out article, IMHO. Democrats, bah! Every time they lose, they try to get power thru, as he said, "elite machinations"....then they hold power until they are once again voted out. Their only chance to maintain power is to remove democracy from the table...yes, Democrats are misnamed indeed.

We'll be opening the back pier those nights, put some tables out..I checked..it looks like a good view. Mobile posting

I think posting the details would be more effective here.

Indeed, when I go back to the USA, I seldom use cash at all. w When I first moved here, I used to exchange $100 bills for people who didn't have any Thai baht. I'd put those $100's in a wallet, planning to use them in the USA.H However, every trip, I came back with about the same amount of cash I had left with. Cash just isn't necessary except for things like coffee's and small purchases. Part of that might be what I do in the USA....I don't spend time in bars or gogos, pay barfines, or pay women for sex. Cash is pretty much standard.for all those activities. I do recall an outcall hooker who came to my home in the USA who brought her own credit card imprinting device. She gave me my carbon copy as she left. Now, she probably has a wireless terminal.

Some of us need to do that. I have a merchant account (for CC transactions), but do not have electronic access to it, so to move money from that account to my other, I have to update both passbooks...every time. Whenever I move money from that account, I have to use the company stamp...it's a real pain, but will be over soon. I read I can switch to the passbook free e-savings account just by going to a Kasikorn ATM...no need to go tot the branch. I hope they can deal with the transfer

I had no idea about that account type. They say a regular savings account with passbook can easily be changed to an E-account (without passbook)...perfect. Thanks...

The problem I see with using debit cards freely and for all sorts of purchases is one that is based on Thai bank's antiquated passbook usage. If you use your debit card frequently for those small daily purchases (and I have no real problem with that, altho I agree that cash is faster), the day you go to update your passbook (and that day will come), you'll find that you've gone into extra pages, and the bank will ask you to get a new passbook. This takes at least a half hour, getting into the right queue (probably not the one you were in), new signatures on the new passbook, copies of your passport (again) and other rigmarole. Just to avoid that, I only put large purchases on my debit or ATM withdrawals.

Another BM used the url shortener , goo.gl to shorten the long google maps link. I noticed that and found that Chrome has an addon that will take the URL in the toolbar and shorten it. You can find it here. You can copy shortened url that into your clipboard and then use it instead of the horrendously long google map link. Google maps used to have a "LINK" button that gave you a locked link to a view, but that seems to have gone. Hope that helps....

The link is there when the ad for RG comes up, but it's not always showing unless you do a few refreshes on the page. The direct link is here http://www.pattayapages.com/residence/ which can be accessed by the HOTELS link at the top of the forum page, and then clicking on the banner ad for RESIDENCE GARDEN. Please use the link and the booking form on this page or we might lose the FLB rate if not booking thru the website.

You did the climb up wat tham seua...good for you! I did that with a lady friend when i was 56 yo and it was a challenge. it would probably kill me now. Some of those steps were a bit high. Fucking monkeys attacked our lunch bags and got away with everything.

Aha. Here it is http://goo.gl/fj5rsY Well, he sure is adamant about this place. Any others who have had problems there?

A cautionary story indeed. I have resisted debit cards since they came out, and always made a point of going to my US Bank to return the card when they sent me a new one, demanding a simple ATM card instead. Now, after many years in Thailand, I've lost the will to fight it, and have been using a debit card for all this time. I have luckily yet to find an extra charge on the card, even though I use it several times a month to buy gas and groceries. But, it's good to stay aware of the potential for massive headaches at getting an incorrect or fraudulent charge removed.
