Tablet computers before food and education?

The opposition Pheu Thai Party is o...

Re: Hua Hin Jazz Festival 2011

The TAT have yet to announce it officially, the second week in June is the most likely which would put it at the 10-12th. Highly unlikely that it will run on a Sunday to Tuesday as the primary market is Bangkok weekenders (the last nine festivals have all been weekends). As usual the "marketing...

Re: Camera and photography thread

Can anybody recommend good places around Hilton Resort to shoot? . Just walk out of the hotel complex, turn left or right and follow the little sois around, plenty going on. Here is a photo-map of the area though the shots were taken a couple of years ago: http://www.tourismhuahin.com/photo-map-hua...

Re: How To Create A Wifi Zone At Home?

Standard one will do the job, no point in getting anything fancy when the connection speeds are not that fast or reliable. Use a basic Linksys one here (802.11g) that does the job, simply hard-wire it to the existing router or LAN connection, go into the admin panel and put in the details given by t...
