Guest Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 It seems now every sky train station is equipped with a ton of high end flat screen TV's and an astounding number of speakers. At first they were playing movie clips, but it seems only a matter of time until passengers are constantly bombarded with annoying commercials. I kind of liked the sky train stations before as a place I didn't have a computer screen or TV in my face and something blaring in my ear, but those days are over. The commercials must work as I see a lot of Thai's glued to to them, sigh. The cost of progress I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom Michael Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 I noticed them too when they first went up. They were only showing digital computer graphics then. What brand are these ? I believe Hitachi or Toshiba ? They look really nice, some sort of Plasma screens. I did not see the picture from either a DVD or TV input, but I would be interested in getting one of those screens for home use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash999 Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 Those are plasma screens... Very very expensive! Saw one for sale in the Sogo Amarin mall a while ago for 400,000 Baht. Not sure who is in with the government to supply these things but they're doing well for themselves. Saw that there are now plasma screens all over the airport, even in obscure locations in the domestic terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 How about white buses, green buses etc - 50 satang fare and lunatic drivers who didn't stop for passengers (they just slowed down and you had to jump on or off)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hi, "p.s. And the effing board just kicked me out again ... FOURTH TIME TODAY. :banghead:" I think this might be due to the increased security features of this software. If your IP address changes while logged in, you will get kicked out. I'm guessing that is happening to you. Not sure why you would be getting a new IP address that often though. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I just stay logged in on my home computer. When I go back to the board, I may start reading and decide to post. But then my post will be rejected - with the message that my credentials do not match my security code. It's got to be the security features doing it. (I'm on True Internet, which can be a pain in the butt at times. I get a lot of phone messages telling me they are "improving" their system.) Never had the problem on the old software.

khunsanuk Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hi, Not sure. I too am on True and leave the board open the entire day, yet have not encountered the same problems. To be honest I doubt it is True that's causing this, or there would be quite a few more people with the same problem. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
