Teak wood. Prices are doubling every 5 years. No one is planting it and the demand is soaring.

Looks like kitco has the right prices... Its strange that oanda should be giving inaccurate info...:eek:

I haven't actually used it yet, but its something I'm looking into for my new house where there is no telephone available. If you are living in Bangkok there are probably better options. However Bangkok is not a pleasant place to live....:(

The prices for gold, silver and platinum seem to be substantially different (>2%) depending on whether you believe oanda.com or kitco. Both the min & max prices and also the bid & ask are different. Who is right? :confused:

You could also look at Shin's Ipstar satellite; you get 11 mbps on the forward link and up to four mbps on the return link. Around 15,000 baht to setup but it has the advantage that you can use it anywhere - up country for example.

I upgraded my hardware only a few month ago. Got a new motherboard, new hard disk, the lot. I pretty well have a new machine.

I upgraded to XP yesterday , and my advice to anyone thinking of doing so is: don't:mad: I had to buy a new modem because the old one was incompatible with XP, my PC works slower, there are no discernable advantages. Unless you want to do a lot of work with multimedia, the best operating...

Suppose your email account is hacked? The hackers could intercept the confirmations. In theory. I'm coming to the conclusion that that sentence is an oxymoron. I would be happier if the brokers were to say: "We are so confident that it can't be hacked that if anyone succeeded in doing so we...

If one looks at a graph of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) index, and the Gold and Silver (XAU) index for the last few years it is curious how closely they follow each other.

If you have sex with your dog at least its with someone who genuinely loves you. Not always the case with women....

There have been threads on this forum already about members who have had their accounts hacked; fortunately they didn't lose any money, but I've lost quite a lot of sleep thinking about it. Everytime I login I'm expecting to see my account cleaned out. I've been hacked a couple of times. Once...
