  1. Thanks xyzzy. I have had my two numbers registered with AIS for many years, so I tried the code that you stated and I got the same message as you so I'm good. I registered these numbers with my passport a long time ago so if I lost the sim, I could keep the number. Also, anytime I want, I can go into an Ais office and upload my address book which will save it in their system.

  2. I see, you mean Europe as in "most of the rest of the world." I think I get it now, but one last question, I have some Inuit Indian heritage in my family, so technically, I am part Indian. Does this totally exclude me from the group, or could my vote be considered with some sort of a 3/5ths compromise. I think that was tried somewhere else back in years past, not sure how it worked out. :)

  3. Guys lets vote let them join the group or no,as an admin i say no twice lol

    I don't get a vote, as I am NOT from Europe so I am not entitled to be in the group. So I guess it is the back of the bus for me. lol

  4. One other thing I would suggest. I have the debt card limit on my ATM/debit card set to zero. I had my card stolen once and someone made a health charge on the card. It seems in Thailand, or at least Pattaya, that a purchase with a debit card does not require a pin. So I have my card set up so it is only an ATM card. As a result I carry it everywhere and often take out amounts like 900B, some times more than once at a time, from ATMs so I always have "small money".

    This is a very important point, unlike in the US, there is little consumer protection on fraudulent charges, and what little there is, you would be very unlikely to find somebody to help.

    When I first started coming here, somebody told me something that has rung true for many many years with almost no exceptions ... IN THAILAND, THERE ARE NO REFUNDS.

  5. Also I understand their is an island off the coast of Southern Thailand where the vast majority of the population are Muslims.......that must be a barrel of laughs.

     

     

    There are a number of islands down there with almost 100% Muslim local population. Koh Sukorn, Koh Tarutao, and even Koh Lanta.  All of these places have some tourist facilities, and the local Muslim population are more genuine and friendly than the other Thais who have relocated there to serve the tourists.  I've had some good times there, and always found a cold beer.  The south of Thailand (other than Phuket) is my favorite area, nice beaches, and you can get laid every day in Koh Lanta and other places with little difficulty. On Koh Lipe, I banged a different massage girl every day.

     

    I was in Sungai Kolok for a night last year when the train was severely delayed, and I did not want to cross into Malaysia that late and try and find a taxi to Kota Bharu. It's your common border town, but the number of western tourists is very low. I found a 500 baht/night hotel that was clean, had my last pork meal for awhile :) and I hit a few beer bars. All the girls working there were from Isaan, but with mostly Malay Chinese as customers. Had a ST back at the hotel with a GG from Nong Kai - a long way from home!

     

    I think this report is a bit sensationalist, but that's Patrick Winn's style.

  6. Where would one find this rather trendy establishment ? 

     

    I believe this is the place in the same building as X-Zone, correct? I think the name is Irany - Soi 16.  I actually walked through the place about a year ago, wondering what it was all about. They let me in and I certainly don't look Persian. B)
