Re: Ipad2 and e-mail connections

I got a micro sim from the airport. Costs about 890 baht per month unlimited data. Top up as needed. I think it was AIS. Other packages available too. Or if you have an iPhone the iPad will share the data connection as well.

Re: Sunlight hours?

We have 14 hours a day at the moment, with 43 degrees and 80% +++ humidity from 10 am in Dubai, I'm not sure how they do the fasting for Ramadan during these high temperatures.

Re: Repair of refrigerators
