A friend is trying to connect connect his wireless printer to his new laptop. Works fine with the old laptop (I configured). I tried and can't get it working. Does anyone know a support person that can come on site i.e. his apartment, and assist? Thanks, Mark

Suggest you look at Dynasty Inn. Good hotel, a few different room types and good value. Cheers, Mark

Hi, Suggest you go to Fortune Town and just visit one of the smaller shops with a work area visible - 3rd floor I think (if the street level is 1). The ones I have used are pretty switched on and not too expensive. But screen faults, especially if it is a replacement, are expensive so prepare yourself for the possibility of needing to buy a new machine mate. I hope you are pleasantly surprised. Cheers, Mark

Fortune town mate. Everywhere. BTS to Asoke then MRT to Fortune Town. Too easy. Fortune Town is streets ahead of Pantip. No annoying touts is a big plus. Having said that it has been ages since I have been there as Fortune is so convenient. Or alternatively order them online and have them delivered. http://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?q=cat5%20cables Cheers, Mark

Hi Chook, There are some Korean's in a plaza between Suk Soi 10 & 12. There is also a good one in the Times Square building, 2 floors up from GF. Where the walkway exits to Asoke BTS, a bit past soi 12 . I love the BBQ at your table. Cheers Mate, Mark

Hi Chicken, To be honest it was just ok, nothing special. And quite expensive. Having said that I would certainly order it again. Cheers, Mark

Thanks for letting me know about that. Just ordered my lunch delivery from there. They get very good reviews. Cheers, Mark

Suggest you take a look at the Grand Dynasty on Soi 6. Very good value for money, decent rooms, pool (shielded from the afternoon sun) and other amenities. Lots of friends stay there, the type that when the company is paying it's the JW Marriott but when it is their own pocket it is the Grand Dynasty. Very good value for money. www.dynastygrande.com Cheers, Mark

Hi, Well that will be a big relief for the Mexican restaurant on the soi 2 side. That being closed must have really hurt their trade. I for one, not a big fan of Mexican, will go over now to put a bit in their coffers. Cheers, Mark

Mate, You know as much as I do but from the photo's above it looks very unlikely. Cheers, Mark

Hi, Some photo's of the construction site. Last 2 are towards where Annie's Do Do was/will be maybe. The walk through is still blocked off and the turds at the Sharma will not let anyone through so it's the long way 'round I am afraid. I understand it has really hurt the Mexican restaurant on the other side. Cheers, Mark

No problemo. Do Do is part of the renovation. The building from Do Do to next to the 7/11 has been gutted. Now it is an empty shell. If I remember I will grab a pic later today. That's if the toxic smell is gone. Yesterday it smelt like a glue sniffers paradise as I walked past. Cheers, Mark

It's still closed mate. Very much WIP. Cheers, Mark

Hi, Started already. 6 am in Sukhumvit Soi 11 the water was on! Cheers, Mark

Hi, Can't stand the place myself. Lived there for 2 years recently. Here is a thread that covers it in detail though: http://www.pattaya-addicts.com/forum/topic/307335-jakarta-gate/?page=8#comment-3977280 Good luck! Cheers, Mark

Hi, You might try Heaven@4 on Soi 4. http://heavenatfourhotel.com. Owner is Mike. Nice fellow and the hotel is nice. I know he does monthly rates. You could also try Petals Inn which is virtually next door to Heaven@4. https://www.hotelscombined.com/Hotel/Petals_Inn.htm. To be honest I don't know anything about them except the place is relatively new and in the style that may give a monthly rate. Try the internet to contact them and if that fails let me know and I will stop in to ask them about monthly rates. Another one is Lohas. https://www.lohasresidences.com/. Entrances on Soi 2 & 4. My mate has been staying there for a few months and is not impressed. He reports poor service and a building that is moldy. But worth checking out. Also there is My View further down Soi 4. http://www.myviewapartmentbangkok.com. I stayed there for years and it is ok. Massive bedroom, comfortable as fook but small living and kitchen areas. No lift so try and get a lower floor if you can. 2 apartments to a floor so not much foot traffic. Owner is a bird called Khun Ning. Worth a look see. All the above places are within walking distance to Nana BTS. Once you find a place and are on the ground you can then take a walk around to see what suits better. Hope this helps. Cheers, Mark

Hi, Yes they are good, real good, but I prefer the "real thing". Jump on the skytrain over to Saphan Taksin. Then take the public ferry up the river to Chinatown (Sathorn to No. 5 on the map below). Walk up Rajawongse to China Town and wander around there for as long as you can take the crowds and then dive into a hole in he wall dim sum restaurant. They normally turn out to be quite big inside. Enjoy the air-con, dim sum and a cold beer. One of my favourites in Bangers. Cheers, Mark

Hi, Can't go past the Dynasty Group of hotels. Good locations and facilities. www.dynastyinn.com. Dynasty Inn is 50 m from Nana Plaza (and 20m from my place!). Grande Dynasty is a little more upmarket with swimming pool etc. And there is also the Dawin & Parinda hotels also on Soi 4. Anyways the web sites will let you know what is available and at what price. Cheers, Mark

Second that. Great location. And there are also the sister hotels not far away: Dawin and Dynasty Grand. All good establishments. Cheers, Mark

That guy? Knows nothing, he is a real clown. Cheers, Mark

Hi, Does anyone now where to buy diet cranberry juice in Bangkok please? Preferably the Ocean Spray brand. Looked everywhere and can't find it. Anyone close to a Makro store? Thanks, Mark

Hi, Yes, Climax. Bit more info here: https://www.stickboybangkok.com/news/army-carry-raids-several-popular-bangkok-clubs/ Cheers, Mark Edit: sorry - you said "besides Stickboy".

Guys, Australians can roll up and get a 30 day visa exemption. No need to pay anything. If you need to stay a bit longer you can get a 7 day extension in country. It ain't hard. :rolleyes: Cheers, Mark

Yeah right. Cheers, Mark

You are right mate. I am packing up and moving back to OZ. How could I have been so blind. Cheers, Mark
