Seems Naam Too Uum is still wreaking havoc upon the supply chain to Chiang Mai...
The shelves are empty everywhere and my hoard of in has run out...
Has anyone spotted any?
PS Coke Zero just won't cut it...

What Is The Future Of The Baht?...
2011-11-10 17:06:16
I was just wondering what effect all the flooding and economic dislocation will have on the baht?...
The BOT has already said the GDP will be lowered - There is a bunch of foreign export currency that will not flow in...
The Government will be forced to go on a deficient spending spree to try andfix (appear to fix) a lot of the damage... A big chunk of that will flow out of the country thru Seimens and Mercedes dealerships (Especially if MRT were to spring a leak)...
Many businesses, factories and an airport that were damaged by the flood will most likely not be rebuilt...
Long term many Multinationals will be rethinking their supply chain... Moving to higher ground in say China...
All these factors seem like a perfect storm that sees a lot more money leaving Thailand than coming in...
Maybe a silver lining for those of us retired in the Land of Smiles and opining the days of 45-65 Baht/USD...
Any opinions?...

Constant "The Connection Was Reset"
2011-11-03 21:06:48
I the last 2 weeks I am constantly getting "The connection was reset" error screens.
(see screen shot below)
Once I hit reload the webpage I was going to pops right up.
I have 3bb with their standard wifi router, my browser is Firefox 3.6
Has anyone else had this problem lately?

Must Have Iphone App For Traveling Outside 3G Area
2011-10-30 15:57:19
I like to take road trips out side the city...
On thing I find is that once you get out of the 3G capable area the my IPhone's Google Map slows to a crawl...
It can't get to the maps fast enough or not at all so it becomes worthless...
Then I found Maps Enhancer 1.3... Cydia Source: http://cydia.myrepos....com/apps0rama/
http://www.ambot-ah....-or-ipod-touch/
This add a setting that stops the phone from dumping the map cache...
Just remember that you must open up maps (Zoom In) and go to the places you want to visit before you leave the 3G area - view your road trip and let the phone download the maps - then when you actually go on your trip the maps will be on your phone and not need to access the internet
