At first, Blinky and I got off a bit on the wrong foot as he had a tendency to go quite rough on newbies. But throughout the years we grew to understand each other better, and at one time both of us happened to be on the Sunshine Coast with a day to kill; Ian got in touch and we spent a day out together driving up into the mountains north of Brisbane to visit a friend of his, and had a great afternoon there over a beer or five. Great memory.
A strong man with a kind heart, as others have said. I will miss him and my condolences go out to his family.

Mitsubishi "Mr Slim" are a good unit and we purchased after doing a bit of reseach from friends that had purchased same.They are not the cheapest but we are very happy with ours in the bedroom,extremely quiet.You need to shop around prices vary considerably from store to store and now of course sales spike in the hot season.
I have 3 Mitsubishi Mr.Slim air conditioners as well and have no complaints. They have lasted me over 8 years and still run ok. I change filters once per year and do simple maintenance cleaning of the front grids myself every 1-2 months.

I would go for option 1 first. That way you'll be able to monitor your usage first and then, if you want to transfer to a monthly paid service, you can compare your usage stats with the price they offer to see if it is worthwhile. Likely, if you go into DTAC or AIS and say you know nothing, they will try to hit you up with a 1 year monthly paid contract.
With AIS service staff, your mileage may vary. Last time I was there, I walked out vowing never to set foot there again. The salesgirl had learned an entire script by heart that she repeated back at me at machine gun-fire speed... with a strong accent to boot. I asked her to speak Thai and a little slower, and she proceeded to give a similar rapid-fire spiel that was impossible to follow (including for my Thai wife). I do trust Winnie's judgement though so I am thinking I may have just been unlucky that time.

<p>I don't know where the 'bitch' in the translation comes from - maybe a Thai person who has listened too much to hip hop or something?
The general sense of 'liar', 'fibber' or 'faker' is correct. Personally I have only ever heard it used jokingly.

Aren't เรียก and พวก เสียงโท?
Yes, they are. Falling.
Isn't เสือก low tone?
It sure is. That was my mistake.
