I am confused.
I always thought that if I buy pre pay true move at 7 11 then I can use it for data connection. I thought I could access data when there is only a phone signal.
Yet when I found myself in the boonies with no wifi access I found my credits gave me no data.
So much confusion. How can I access data for my smartphone beyond Wi-Fi access? can I use my credit to access true Wi-Fi? what plans are available for data? is there a distinction between 3g and other data access in how I access?
You can see I can't work it out. Thanks.

I developed a peptic ulcer from NSAID usage.

I have taken Omeprazole at 40mg for 17 weeks. The literature indicates 95% of ulcers are cured at 8 weeks.

I am guessing it might be owing to Cafergot usage, that I have only just noticed is classed as a 'Severe Potential Hazard' because of "Methylxanthines are known to stimulate peptic acid secretion".

I am in a bind since without the migraine medicine I would be in real trouble.

I am looking for a migraine medicine of about the same cost that has no such danger.

(Sheryl,) Any suggestions?

Thank you!

I want a nice but cheap phone.

I only want it to run two devices: the Paiboon dictionary app and the Anki app.

I want Android.

The Paiboon specs require at least Android 2.2 and:

"Because our app includes more than 18 hours of high-quality sound recordings, we require about 380 megabytes (380MB, or 0.38GB) of free space on your device's SD card. To see how much storage you have available, run the Settings app from your device's home screen, then choose the option containing the word "storage" (e.g. "SD card & phone storage"), then look what it says under "SD card...Available Space." This must be at least 380 megabytes (380MB, or 0.38GB). Due to a limitation of Google's Android operating system related to keyboards, the tiny 6 megabyte (6MB, or 0.006GB) core of our app must be installed on your internal storage, not your SD card, so you need a small amount of internal storage as well.'

The Anki appears to have no special specs:

My price is around 5,000 baht (if you tell me 7,000 baht with a good argument then ok).
I was thinking an HTC since the Samsung seem awfully expensive and the 5,000 baht Galaxy has an inadequate memory for the Paiboon app.

What would you recommend?

Would you recommend buying second hand, and where?

Is there anything else I should know?


Thank you very much in advance. I appreciate there have been close questions to this, but I have anxiety over the exact nexus of the need for a certain Android system, the specific SD memory size and the internal storage. I have not found a way to check these pieces of data out with certainty.

You still show the members' number of posts. But now the joined date has gone since the upgrade. Can we have it back? Or is it an option somewhere.

It is important to know as a quick and dirty figure for working out if the member has just got off the plane. Many of the mebers have hundreds of posts but are barely aware where Thailand is on the map.

Thank you in advance.

The facility to obtain a Reentry permit from Suanplu rather than Chaengwattana is a godsend for many of us. But the facility requires that an e-mail is sent 24 hours before turning up.

...but the Immigration Staff are exactly as incompetent as you would expect, so be ready for it. I arrived and they duly informed me they had not received an e-mail from me. They also told the other 2 farang in the room. The laotians and burmese watched with a detached bemusement.

The immigration staff after a little persuading let me look at their computer. And sure enough, hidden in the 'trash' of their e-mail system were our Reentry permit applications. (note: their e-mail system has a Trash Box and  Spam Box, so make sure you insist on checking them both)

...they immediately then gave us our permits. They had just told the Japanese lady, despite her flying the next day, they would not give her a permit. Once they saw her name in the Trash box, they sorted out the paperwork without any inspection of the contents of her e-mail.

...so we now know, the e-mail serves no other purpose than as an obstacle to deter visits from farang to Suanplu. They did not use the e-mails we sent, but simply determined whether to help us by whether we sent them. Another farang who walked in was immediately denied any assistance when he said he sent no e-mail.

...there is another reason for going to Suanplu, besides the location, the staff are strikingly beautiful now. It is almost implausible. See you there.
