For some great reading; "Private Dancer" by Stephen Leather. Or "Bangkok
Eight." Good insights into Thai culture.Quoted message said:I am curious to how she could have access to a computer if she was so
dire in need of money, just a question what is 20,000 baht is in
dollars ?Because of the low income status all over SE Asia, the majority don't
have computers at home. But there are cyber cafes on just about every
other block, every guest house has them for it's visitors, and you are
never more than 5 minutes away from checking your e-mail or playing
on-line games. Some countries, such as Singapore actually have passed
laws that kids under the age of 16 can't use them before 3pm just to
reduce skipping school! The cost varies but from about 5 cents to 30
cents per hour of on-line use, and many restaurants and hotels have free
wi-fi usage available to travelers. Very different from First World
countries where you might have to take a bus or train to find an
internet shop. From my house to the main intersection east (about 6
blocks) there are at least 5-7 internet access points that "I" know
about. There are probably a few more that I haven't noticed.Steve Kramer

Say Hey Stevie:
I disagree with you on just about everything you said regarding
internet shops. Firstly there are not cyber shops about every other
block or 'just about every other block'. Every guest house does not
have internet service for their clients and certainly not the short
time houses. You are certainly more then 5 minutes from checking your
email. The going rate is not 5-30 cents per hour. But on the average
about .50 cents per hour. There is no restaurant you can cite that has
wi-fi internet service. Restauratnts are in business to feed your
face. Hotels do not have FREE internet service. There is a charge
which is higher then the standard internet shops. The average is about
$3.22 per hour at the going exchange rates.
Stevie in view of your on going fabrication let me take the
opportunity to summarize nce again for you.
