Guest Posted January 25, 2002 Report Share Posted January 25, 2002 Hi Folks, Could any of you regulars/expats in LOS please tell me exactly what type of adaptor i will require to connect my laptop to the telephone system please! The hotel in Pattaya i have booked states each room has an additional telephone socket for pc connection etc. I am from The UK and consequently my laptop has the satandard UK Telephone connections! Perhaps you may think it's a waste of time even taking the pc with me, and just use an internet cafe for surfing whilst there??? your advice and views on both subjects would be greatly appreciated!

gummigut Posted January 26, 2002 Report Share Posted January 26, 2002 Sorry don't know about England. Thailand uses the same telephone plugs as the US though. Basically it's four line telco with crimped on RJ11 plugs. Not sure what an RJ11 looks like? Could do an internet search or go to a Radio Shack or electronics shop If you got a laptop, I'd bring it. Easy to get an internet connection via any of the cards they sell at 7-11. Handy depository especially if you have a digi camera. Luck to you, <<burp>> [ January 26, 2002: Message edited by: gummigut ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2002 Report Share Posted January 26, 2002 Thank you for that info! Very helpful indeed! wasn't too sure about the cards you reffered to at the 7-11 store though? could you perhaps expand a little on that please! I do have a digi camera and will be bringing it with me! and your idea of transferring the images to the laptop is great! i was just going to fill my smart media cards then revert to my normal 35mm camera!! Just one more thing! and i hope you will excuse my ignorance here! But as i am a los newbie can you tell me if the power supply is 110 volt? Probably a very stupid question! and if so as i said i do apologise ahead of time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy Posted January 26, 2002 Report Share Posted January 26, 2002 Hi again Dave, I have taken my laptop and it ran fine on the mains power, you just need a two pin adaptor. I bought a LoxInfo internet package. AFAI it was 750 baht for 35 hours. There is no paperwork, they supply you with the dial in number and a username and password. When your time is used up you can no longer login. Sounds like you will have a great trip...prepare to be a convert!

gummigut Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Thailand is 220 or 240 (or whatever) volts but most (if not all) laptop power supply's are both 110/220 volt compatible. I'd just double check by reading the info regarding inputs that's printed right on your power supply before plugging it into the wall here in Thailand. If you have an AC power supply for your digital camera, chances are it's just a plain 110 volt adapter. As to Stump Dog who says there are always people here willing to help out. NOT. I want to kick some posters ass!!! Bring on the newbie!!! Hazing at Casanova's!!!! <<burp>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
