I read on FB that this place had a soft opening today. Having had my fill of Sunday Roasts, my friend and I thought it would be worth a look and a taste of some of the daring items on today's menu. I had the bruschetta on house made focaccia bread. Lots of bits of good things on it around it, including some very nice tomatoes. I decided to try the seared tuna as a starter, and the owner Ewan wisely suggested I eat that and then decide if I wanted a main course. He was right..remember, this was my breakfast (as in "break fast') for the day, and so I wasn't ravenously hungry. The tuna came, an

Well, Air China may have crappy planes and schedules, but they might just make it up with a bit of interior decorating such as the above. If they want to go to the next level, the air hostesses should wear the bikinis while working too I do hope it makes Gloria Steinem's head explode! Go China Air!!!

For some reason, this song came to mind last night and was going through my head...one of the great songs from The Band in the late 60's. According to Wikipedia, It was actually a bigger hit in the UK than in the USA, and I wonder if it was because of the differences in the meaning of "that word" in the refrain ...

Sorry...I should have mentioned that I cleaned the redirect after I was informed it came back...once it's been cleaned it's a while before the bugger comes back again. Keep trying though. As soon as it's reported, I can clean it.

jacko, I'd suggest a visit to the AIS office in Central Festival at this point.

That's pretty good, mike_asia, but it's not been updated for AIS 4G yet...says carrier doesn't support it, probably because it's a test period. It certainly does support LTE until Jan 10.

jacko, what make and model is your phone? I'm not sure what Global Mode is...does that mean you have ROAMING on? If so, I've not turned on ROAMING. I'd I can't get LTE, the phone reverts to 3G or 2G as signal allows. There's never been a problem getting some signal except at Superbaby where I'm pretty sure they're using a mobile suppressor. I have a Samsung S5 as I mentioned earlier.

Could be there is no 4G out in the boonies where you live. You will definitely get it if you come to civilization again. OTOH, mine didn't work until I had rebooted the phone (as they sort of say in one of their setup pages).

BTW, just send *411# to get started.

No, I didn't try a USA server because I was only interested in network raw speed, not network delays thru slower connections.I suspect the USA server connections wouldn't be any better than my cable capability now, since that would go through many hops and slower nodes. This isn't going to be good for torrents due to the restrictions on traffic capacity (currently 4GB). I'd use that up in a day. As long as the traffic is metered, I can't really think of anything it's that good for, but it's fun to watch the speedtest screen peg the 50Mb marker!

I received an SMS from AIS last week that invited me to join their 4G test rollout. I followed the SMS with a USSD code to them, and they sent me back a message saying I'd successfully been added to the 4G test. I have a Samsung S5 which didn't require any further setup. This is a typical result of a speedtest over 4G. It's much faster than my TRUE cable connection! The test runs until January 10, and allows up to 4GB of traffic during that period...and it's free!

Is that your final answer? Anyway, for clarification ... http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/topic/63575-movie-quiz-10/?p=1085038

Does it matter which bank's ATM you use when using the Schwab debit card? If so, then a quick consultation of this link http://bankexchangerates.daytodaydata.net/default.aspxfor USD to THB (TT) might be useful. Right now it shows that Krung Thai bank is giving a lovely 36 THB per USD.

I think that's what my friend has..a banking account. My account is with the brokerage. It has check writing, debit cards, etc, but is definitely not with their bank.

I have a Schwab One account. I don't know their other account types.

Interesting. I think it depends on the account type at Schwab. My ATM charge refund is given as a credit along with the debit for the amount I withdrew on the nearest following business day. It's a lot easier (for me) to track that way too. I have a friend who gets his refund like you, at the end of the month, and we have different account types, so figure that's the reason.

Schwab refunds all bank fees so you get the TT rate when you use the ATM. Open a Bangkok Bank Account, send your Citibank transfer to that USA account (no fee) and then it shows up in your Thai Bangkok Bank account.

Bangkok Bank ACH transfer, Gary!

Maybe they got tired of reinfecting the site...one can hope. Actually, Frostfire did a great job of finding what we thought was the vector that reinfected the site after a few days, deleted it (it was actually in the mysql database hidden in a "blob", for those who know about that stuff), and we thought we had it. Then it happened one more time. I deleted the infection, Frostfire confirmed that the code he'd deleted was still gone, and it's not happened (to my knowledge) again. I can't say it's 100% certain that it's gone, but this is the longest stretch of not showing up that I can rem
