IATA is Farang.
Why can't AOT, which is Thai, look after their domestic problem.

An International airport is not a domestic problem.

Custom officers just doing their job by checking if you are not exceeding the tolerated amount of imported duty-free products.
I think you misunderstand.. they weren't checking the visa run bus. I know that is normal. They were set up in front of the meetup point (in Bangkok), stopping people before they even arrived to start the visa run. My friend was stopped, as was another farang that came in a taxi from the same direction. I suspect they were looking for overstays to make a some tea money. On the other hand, maybe they were just doing their job and had received a tip that some red-flagged name was going to show up for a visa run.

Kindle isn't great at handling PDF files. The Sony range of e-readers are better for those who have a lot of PDF stuff to read.
Goodreader app on the iPad for viewing any PDF files is the way to go these days.
The only advantage of the sony readers and indeed the kindle these days is the readability on the beach or next to the pool and battery life.
Some other advantages of Sony reader:
-Easier on the eyes, especially if you're using it for long reading sessions
-Smaller and more portable
-PDF reflow is the best i've seen
-75% cheaper than iPad

Not only is the storage attackable from the outside, but those cloud storage sites have admins and developers who know every detail of the mechanisms used.
Those persons need money... like everybody.

It amazes me that anybody would trust their passwords and any personal information to be managed by someone else, especially a web site.
No kidding. Write them down, pad and paper. You can't hack that, just keep it in the safe from your G/F
Can't hack that? Wanna bet? With 350 workstations to manage, sometimes the user was not available when work was required and a simple look under the mousepad, under the keyboard, or in the top drawer nearly always yielded the password. To impress on them the need to not do that, when they returned to the workstation and found a Notepad message that they had been hacked they frantically called for help and were reminded that it could have been a bad guy.
Absolutely.. in fact, nearly all password hacks are the result of people doing stupid things like writing them down or putting them in a TXT file on their desktop. These aren't the ones that get on the news, but they are the most common by far.
