  New SIM-card from AIS 1-2-call
Just bought a new sim card, 1-2-call, and are using it to connect to the internet here in Uthai Thani.
The connection I get is 115 kbps, but it seems to be slower. Maybe because I surf mostly sites from Norway and the international connection might not be very good...
Anyhow, it's a lot cheaper than using my Norwegian sim (Telenor), so I would recommend buying a thai sim card for anybody who wants to use GPRS in Thailand.

I'm not sure anybody can buy a sim card, I think that you have to live here. (Because of terrorist threats they have to register your name). But getting a thai friend, wife or who ever to buy it should not be a big problem.

  Nokia 6111
Just bougth a Nokia 6111 here in Thailand. A nice phone in many ways. It has a good mega pixel camera, built in mp3-player, radio, and more.So all in all a nice looking and not to big phone.The price was not to bad either, just under 10000 baht.My only disapointment was that when the phone is closed the antenna does not work as well as it does when the phone is opened.(Might have to do with the fact that the antenna is at at bottom of the phone and covered whene phone is slid closed.

  waiting for my flight to bangkok
arghhh, flight to bangkok delayed 3 hours. Now sitting at the airport in Helsinki. First delay 2 hour, now one more hour.
Not much to do here, maybe I shoul reconsier using finnair ? Helsinki airport is not very exiting i the midle of the night. Not much do do.
Anyhow I'm at least on my way to thailand again for a month long holiday in Uthai Thani.
Maybe I will post some more if I get an internet connection up and running there.

Edit 24. june.
My internet connection is up, as you might have guessed.
The flight was eventually 5 hours delayed due to "technical problems".
 
Just a litle weblog about my trips to Thailand, and my thoughts about the country.
