Re: Satellite solutions

With an andriod box, there is an app ilikehdtv, which has many sport channels that might have golf. English Sports monthly package is 400 baht a month.

This is a good alternative to UBC, as it contains most channels that UBC offer.

Re: Satellite solutions

recommend Thai expat tv for English TV, gave up my UBC 8 months ago and have never looked back. I see a lot of people share a concern over streaming tv over the internet, but this service works well, since the servers are based in Thailand. To set this up, I recommend an andriod media box, a good on...

Found out today the Black Mountain waterpark now offers annual membership for unlimited access to the park:

Adults: 3500

Re: buying a TV

Wife recently got a wide-screen TV with all the bells and whistles, was surprised to find it also listed wifi capability. Connected it to my home wifi, and now can watch youtube without passing through a computer. Amazing what they have these days. Think tv will be going digital so make sure you ge...

Re: An alternative to Petchkasem Rd when heading up to Bangk

The mini vans to Vic. Mon. are running as usual, have been all the time, except when Phetchkasem rd was blocked by the farmers a couple of weeks ago. The stage at victory monument has been removed and is heavily congested with traffic again. This week should be interesting as the police have been gi...

Re: Mobile phone expired validity

Just thought i'd give some info on why SIMs have validity periods on them...operators like DTAC have to pay license fees on all numbers active in their networks..with 25 million active subscribers in DTAC, license fees are substantial. To minimise this, operators recycle numbers. With prepaid cards,...
