Re: Movies at Hua Hin Cinema

My son wanted to watch Vampire Academy (a very poor Harry Potter take off), so we went last night. There were 4 hi-so types (from Bangkok by the shade of their skin) who refused to use the machines, and created a bit of a fuss, so they re-opened the box office just for them.

Re: 3BB Internet Speed

Both Expat TV and 365 Sport require a minimum of 3 Mbps. Every time the fibre drops out (see Farang's graph above - every dip) the screen freezes. OK, you'd get there eventually, but it isn't good viewing having to wait for the speed to restore before your programme continues past the freeze. All of...

Re: Movies on DVD

Mentioned it to my son, and he produced the DVD from his bookshelf. Unfortunately its in Korean with English subtitles. My son agrees that it is an amazing film.

I'm too lazy for subtitles, so I'm downloading the 2013 remake instead.

Re: WIFI ALFA DONGLE

I haven't seen that particular dongle, but yes, there are plenty of similar devices.

About a year ago, Sargeant was happy with the device he purchased from Telewiz (Pranburi Tesco, 3rd floor Market Village, Big C, Pala U Rd, etc)

Re: 3BB Internet Speed

Brilliant news Farang. So I guess the dips in performance that you were reporting here have gone away

The above graph represents what my friends are experiencing now. So, did the problem simply go away, or is there something 3BB and/or you did to resolve it please?

Re: League 2 - 2013/2014

Not Wimbledon - the Wimbledon that were in the Premier League re-badged as MK Dons. AFC entered league football much later.

Wat Cha-Am Kiri (Wat Cha-Am Cave)

To find this temple, as you drive North from Cha-Am, follow the road, past the flyover over the railway, then look for the entrance of the temple on your left. DSC03239b.JPG When you get into the temple grounds, parking is more than adequate. At ground level, there are various temple buildings, incl...

Re: All about "Dentist in Hua Hin" Useful information.

I'm sure the work will be to a good standard, but with the 30 Baht per visit scheme, the queues will be huge.

Experience with Mrs BB at Hua Hin Hospital tells me that an appointment refers to the time that you are called, and permitted to join the queue.
