I'm returning to BKK this Sept. In the past I've used a prepaid Dtac sim card in my plain old mobile phone. Now I have an unlocked iphone. What are my options for a sim cards with prepaid voice/data?

Thanks.

I believe that the I Phone4 uses a mini SIM card. You may want to check that out. Bring your old mobile just in case.

Create an account with them, upload, download when at home, delete them afterwards and you are done.

They are the biggest ones.

Yes, I think its called micro sim or something. Regular sized sims work - you just have to trim them down with a razor.

No, they are not cheaper. You also have to worry more about quality.

Foto File in MBK Mall is a good shop. They often have items on special and back up their sales with service. They clean sensors for free while you wait.

Looking for a travel agency to process my visa to hanoi. Any recommendation? Can the visa be obtained within 2-3 days with them? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

I will be in BKK and will be short on time. I want to take taxi to Aranyaprathet/ Poipet and then off to Siem Reap.

Can anyone suggest a taxi company for going from BKK to the border?

Thanks and happy hunting

I've used this company at least 8 times in the last 2 years, and they've always been clean, reliable, and safe. I've only used them from Bangkok to Pattaya, and the airport to Pattaya and back, but their website says they service every part of the country. Highly recommended.

My idea of a perfect session is something like find a lady, taking her out for dinner, then going out disco dancing or bar hopping or something the whole night, before going back to hotel (and preferably dumping her the next day and on to the next one). I've had tons of success at this in places like Mexico, COlombia, DR, and Philippines, but strangely not Thailand where most of ladies have struck me as more cold and mercenary on a rush to leave, and I never truly hit it off with them (mainly talking Cowboy/Nana ladies).

Any advice on best place to arrange such sessions?
Is Bangkok or Pattaya better for this?
Would something like this be pretty standard template for LT session from bar girl or do they mainly just want to go back to hotel?

fred - just one word FLY!!

Simply go to their consulate offices in the morning with your passport and one (maybe two?) photos, fill up the form, pay them 1.800 baht for their express service and get your one month visa within the next day or two.

Very easy procedure. I did that last February. Make sure not to arrive even one day earlier at Hanoi than the visa states otherwise they will deny entry. Later no problem, earlier no entry into the country. So I heard.
