  1. Sorry if this reads like an ad, but I thought I'd publicise http://www.18185.co.uk

     

    They charge only 1.5p per minute to Thailand, to a mobe or a landline, and offer access from a BT phone, a cable phone, Talk Talk, your mobile, etc etc.

     

    I use it every time i talk to my waan jai.

     

    Read their website and see what you think. They have never ripped me off (which is more than i can say for my gas and 'leccy companies)

  2. In Bangkok you will have no gurantee of quality; that North Face or similar mountaineering rucksack will be a very convincing clone and the stitching will come undone when you need it most.

     

    Better to buy one mail-order off the net in Britain; you will get what it says you get. There are dozens of online sites that sell proper mountain gear.

     

     

    Hell, even Amazon do decent packs for reasonable prices - and I'm sure you can beat them if you search for 10 minutes.

    For example, this Berghaus 65+10 for £80-odd
