  1. It seems I need to transfer my old sim card in my good 'ole Motorola flip phone and go 4g with AIS (if I want to keep my number).

     

    So where in Bangkok does AIS have offices in which to do so? Are they still in the Glass House ?

     

    Are Telewiz outlets an option?

     

    Tnx.

  2. Is there a financial ceiling on the amount of goods one can bring into Thailand (currently)?

     

    A friend of mine had some dresses for his gik (still in the package) and the customs officers charge him 1000 baht as a duty.

     

    I think he got taken.

  3. I remember the shock in Alabama when folks read about Thaksin going to war with Georgia.

     

    What? Fortified red wine?

     

     

     

     

    According to US laws (and treaty agreements) when a democratically elected government is overthrown via military coup, financial aid must be cut off. Now all sorts of exceptions can be made (Egypt s a prime example). Up to the affirmative action president Obama.

  4. You wouldn't believe how insular the Untied States is and is becoming even more so. My sister tells me virtually nothing was reported about the Thai protests over the government's ramming through the amnesty bill to pardon Thaksin or the months-long anti-government protests that followed it. Now suddenly the headlines are screaming "Coup in Thailand!" People are shocked

     

    Flash,

     

    1. First off, no one is shocked here in the US. No gives a shit in reality. For those that care i.e. : ex-pats and regular visitors, it's a different story.

     

    2. The amnesty bill is in no way comparable to a coup.

     

    3. Your sister should not rely on televised news if she wants to keep up with Thailand.
