Block unwanted text on pre-paid by rajjozy
I bought a prepaid sim card at airport. I keep getting iritaing sales messages off and on. How do I block them here in Thailand. In many countries they have DND(Do Not Distrub) service, is there something similar here. Locals please suggest.
That irritates me also! Unfortunately I never heard of someone who was able to turn it off. Are the messages all send from the same "number" or does that differ also? (I always delete them asap, so i cannot compare) Read More

Visa Runs by Mark Write
Hi Thailand, i have been here 6 weeks now and thinking of buying vans to do visa runs. Please give thoughts positive and negitive. Thanks Mark.
Yeah, a bit more information might help. Just buying a few vans doesnt do it, since you also need to drive them, need to know where to go, get customers, etc. So your business plan is seriously lacking information to form an opinion about it. Read More
