It happens to me quite often also.  I am on 3BB 9mb with a Belkin router.  I use Firefox 5.  It occurs on two different computers that I use.  I have just gotten used to it, and make the extra "click". Maybe someone else can explain the cause.

Try changing your DNS server addresses.

Open your Local Area Connection box and choose Properties.

Click 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IP v4)'

Use the following DNS Server addresses:

preferred DNS server: 8 8 8 8
alternate DNS server  8 8 4 4

The above examples are Google's DNS servers, but if you do an internet search for OPEN DNS SERVERS you will find many more.

The problem with many Thai DNS servers that are used by default, is that they are basically crap - slow, unreliable, sometimes constantly rebooted by a so-called 'tech' at the ISP.

The DNS server is what translates web site addresses into IP addresses.  i.e. www.google.com into 74.125.235.51

Using a decent DNS server can solve all sorts of connection problems.

Once you've changed your DNS settings, you may need to restart your router, browser and/or PC depending on the age and type of your OS.

Good luck :)

&lt;br /&gt;Curious, any comments on the number of people still in the city? What is like around the soi Nana area? Traffic situation?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;<br /><br />Most people including myself are still in Bangkok. Why? because most of Bangkok has NO flooding. Thais are being made to panic by missleading mass media reporting in the Thai media. We have been promised flooding now for several days but apart from the outskirts in the North and east Bangkok is still dry and I will predict will remain so.<br />
<br />Famous last words, <img src='http://static.thaivisa.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> Glug Glug Glug SWishhhh <img src='http://static.thaivisa.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/hit-the-fan.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hit-the-fan:' /><br />

I have read in the paper today that the most dangerous time for Bangkok to flood will be on Saturday at 6pm, I plan to go to the Chao Praya river to watch this ficticious event and will return home and write to you again when I am proved right. I had a very similar response from Thai Visa members who were adamant that Mr Abhisit would win the last election I hope that you will have the courage to appologize to me when I am proved to be right.

You are right. I live 50m from the river on the east side near Rama 5 and the flood water is no worse than last year.  The main Phiboon Songkhram Road which is 150m from the river is dry.

90% of central and downtown Bangkok remains 100% dry, and according to the Thais I know who have lived here 40 years, don't expect 90% of Bangkok to get anymore than 20cm maximum of temporary floodwater.

Look at the big Google map TV members have been updating - its all GREEN dry markers in central and downtown.
