BTW, why did you walk down the Soi ? You didn't take a motorcycle ride ?

so if u go 22 feb, count 30 days as from 22 feb, which is 22 feb.

You must be kidding, Bro. I just came back from Times Square. Stood there for 15 minutes to listen to the Fat Botak play piano and sing song. That fellow must have helluva lady killer when he was young. Can play and sing well. Must get him to sing "zhangwhat huajai" by Bie.

You're one step ahead of me. What I'm going to do in BKK and the rest of Thailand will depend on whether I can find and marry a Thai girl. BKK is just a transit for me; I'm really looking forward to life in Northern Thailand. So at the moment gotta build my social infrastructure in BKK first..haha.

The cards are using the mobile telephone network operating ethier CDMA 2000 or GPRS ( which is very slow , max speeds are 192 Kbps) . Cos Thailand does not have any 3 G ( max speeds 384 Kbps) network at this time ( feb 2008) , though they have plans to roll out this network before end of this decade. HSDPA or 3.5G networks ( same like M1 in Singapore , 3.6 Mbps or above) maybe you have to wait till the Buffalo or Cows to "come" home.

personally i doubt that as TIT ( THIS IS THAILAND) .

If u want a cheap n good GPRS card, get one here in SIM LIM for about 200 bucks for usb connections.

If you're downloading games and videos, even my TOT at 1.5M is freaking slow. So I suggest you forget about aircard. Bro Unforgotten is more knowledgeable in this respect. But I do know if you want anything of this sort, it's either Pantip Plaza @ Pratunam or Fortune Town Mall @ Ratchada. The latter, get off at Param 9 MRT.

I'm not renting. How much is your rental and what is your budget ?

BTW, what do you do everyday ? Make babies ??

Indicative pricing of GPRS or Air card ( It's not compatible with our 3 G network cards here in Sg/MY) is about 10,500 Baht . I saw it at Fortune IT mall in Jan this year.

Another place if it's nearer for you is Secon Square IT section.

For TOT or TRUE ,ADSL in thailand is still freaking SLOW only some DSLAMs upgraded to ADSL 2+ ( but not for consumers YET). They still doing ADSL ( older standards) supporting up to 2 Mbps only and Line conditions are shite.

Haha...I guessed as much. Ratchada animal huh ?

I didn't ditch my job; no job to begin with, so how to get ditched? Cannot be shitloads; shitloads in Europe, Canada or Australia liao.

Can describe your 4,500 Bt room to me ? I'm quite surprised that the rental is so low. I know of a few girls working in Asoke; they rent a damn bloody small room with zero facilities, like a rundown attap house. 2000 Bt per month !

haha, well ratchada's pretty convienient for eveyrthing, except that now i cant head to the MPs of course, unless i want to wakeup without my johnson.

4500, nothing much to shout about but there's cable, aircon, bed, cupboard, balcony and a clean toilet with western toiletbowl.

4500 is considered expensive because my aprtment is freakin darn near everywhere. 5 mins away from subway, 1stop away from esplanade, carrefour and 10 mins walk from hwaykwang.

i could get my wife a better room with BETTER facilites . 4500 including aircon etc, and cardkey, wifi, gym etc. BUT location will always be compromised. (think ladprao , ramkhamheang, sukhumvit 101/1)

i think my apartment is pretty ok, and its not cramped, it's 30sqm, pretty big after repositioning the bed and the wardrobe.


no job to ditch! income leh? wah last month's toto winner is you ar? hahaha
