Told that there are changes to phone numbers in Thailand from today.Can any one please clarify what they are?
How do they apply when calling from outside the country?
So far we have had 3 Thais give us 4(!) versions on what to do.

I've 48 legs of mutton,lamb and hogget if you want 'em. Really fresh, so fresh all you have to do is catch the buggers and they are all yours. They are roaming my orchard at present and eyeing off my tropical peaches.If my neighbour doesn't come and take 'em back where they belong , then it's going ...

Found some sad and unsettling stats on HIV and AIDS rates amongst children in Thailand according to the UNESCAP Organisation.Seems some of the worst figures are for Prachup Khiri Khan-19.23% and Ratchaburi -11.48% for children under 2 years of age.I find these figures unbelievable! www:unescap.org/e...

A rather large drain flowing out of central Thailand (that some call the Chao Praya ),and the major oceanic currents the sweep down from China around the bottom of Vietnam and u...

Maybe I should have been a little more observant- I have to admit my Thai is not so brilliant- but maybe the system is doubling as an information conduit to the poor soul as ,I believe, his cell phone is down -he probably now has to pay his own bills!

Ah ah, I knew there was something more to it !

We enjoy watching the free to air Thai Global Network tv broadcasts via the Optus satellite here in Perth, Western Austrllia. The live news and current affairs is great to watch along with all the usual froth and bubble of Thai tv. But we have a regular problem some days with speech and pic out of s...

Jaime,
the dew-point forms( unseen )on the outer face of the inner lining in a cavity wall situation ,thats why ventilation should be considered.

Oh, well as the Thais say '' falang dong"!
