    Recommend a computer repairer

    in Computers & Software

    Posted · Edited by Bar4

    I need when I am in Bangkok in a few weeks to get my laptop repaired.  

     

    It has a screen fault where it turns itself off if I move the screen to much or put the power supply when the screen is at the right angle - it goes back on pressing the power supply but my heart misses a beat each time.

     

    Also need a hard disk imaged and a higher capicity disk put in.

     

    Now I know there are hundreds of shops and there is pantip plaza etc but this is my workhorse which I use every hour of the day.  I am self employed and need it for work.

     

    So even if it costs more if you have a recommendation where they can do this with care then please let me know.

    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,

    Vietnamese and More Restaurant - Great food for those who want something different

    Thanks Mark. I will keep that in mind. For me, having come from Vietnam a few days earlier, it was Ok. I think I will look for a good Korean restaurant for some Bigolgi next time. Know of any? Cheers!! 

     

    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,

    Best monthly rate hotels?

    in Hotels & Accommodations in Bangkok

    Posted · Edited by Bar4

    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,

    best dumpling and xiao long baozi in thailand... but pricy.

     

    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,

    June 2016 Roll Call

    in What's going on & who is coming to town?

    Posted

    21st-23rd June as a stopover heading to Phnom Penh. Anyone up for 2 nights of carnage in the Nana area send a pm!  ^_^

     

    edit: Never been to BKK at this time of year before. Only been over January - April. How does it differ?

     

    This year it is a bit more quiet than usual. So will have the pick of the birds mate. Expect a bit of rain as well. Seems to have just arrived in the last couple of days.

     

    Cheers,
