PANTIP PLAZA - aka Pirate Mall

We walked into the first big mall in Thailand for a general look around for Electronics and were surprised at what we had seen there. On stalls and in the stores they were freely selling pirate DVDs and pirate software. And heck if you want a designer watch you can find them. They are fake of course but they have all the logos and stamps of the original, you really can't tell.

They had everything in the world ever and they sell them at wholesteal prices. Although from the looks of some stores there you would be wise to hold onto your things on the way out as they may steal them back.
At one point, whilst looking at the pirate CD counter there was a guy really eager to sell me sexy movies. "Sexy movies, sexy movies Sir!" I was unsure at 1st and then as we passed him again.. i was pretty sure alright!

Free WIFI in Silom!

If there is anyone reading this who lives/works next to the Holiday Inn Silom in Bangkok, and is wondering why their 25meg internet bandwidth suddenly became really hogged and crap for a few days, it is because we found it whilst staying on the 7th floor. We found your 25meg line and hammered it for all it was worth. We noticed that the line seemed to reach peak speeds at around 3am.
We were originally supposed to settle for some smokers room which was all they had left at the time of booking, as this was an emergency booking, due to the cancellation of our original hotel booking, which was appalling.
However when we arrived, as our member profile states we prefer a non-smoking room they kindly decided to upgrade us to an executive business suite to compensate for not having a standard non-smoking available. JOY!
