Okay, not enjoying it so much now; I hadn't realised that I was lighting the blue touch paper!

Seriously though, I'm a bit confused by the talk of modems, I thought the information would be about SIM cards and service plans . . . what am I missing?

BTW, my friend is expecting to arrive in Thailand with an HTC Flyer if that makes any difference.  I'm going to send him the links provided; thanks Phil Conners and Jiu-Jitsu.

Thanks all, I'm enjoying the learning process, I really should know more about this and this has given me the opportunity to learn!

I'd really like to read some info from people with first hand experience of bringing such a device from the UK to Thailand so that my mate can avoid wasting valuable holiday time on sorting out his connectivity . . . any takers?  :-)


Thanks,

My recommendation would be Doug Morton (72 Studio):


http://studio.dougmo...com/contact.htm

He's done some product photography for me similar to the work you are talking about and has shot some great family portraits of my little clan.  The bonus for your project may be that he is also a graphic designer with plenty of experience with catalogue and book layouts.  Doug is a friend so I won't wax too lyrical but I do hope that you take a look; he's professional, experienced and good value.

Hi eek,

Not really clear about what you're looking for but here's a quick list of places where I have had good experiences buying silver jewellery:

Pond Silver, 93/6-7 Wualai Road (LHS heading towards Hang Dong) - 053 203065, 081 697 5842

Thongyon Silverware, 122/1-2 Wualai Road - 053 202796/201192

Sherry Silver, 59/2-4 Loi Kroa Road - 053 273529

As mentioned before, much of the silver sold in Chiang Mai is manufactured elsewhere in the country.  Yoo Lim in Bangkok is one manufacturer/wholesaler/exporter with whom I've also had good experiences, if memory serves the minimum order value at Yoo Lim is USD 1,000 so don't make the trip if you only want a few samples!

Yoo Lim, 1169 Charoenkrung Road - 02 234 8971-5 - it's opposite the Post Office and close to Kho San Road.

If you do decide to visit Yoo Lim PM me first for some more direct contact details.

Sad to see Tuskers go but happy to know that Chas, Rachel and mini-Begley will be staying in Chiang Mai.

Best of luck to the Begleys, great hosts and lovely people.
