    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.

    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.

    YOU CAN BULLS*IT SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME,
    YOU CAN BULLS*IT PART OF THE PEOPLE PART OF THE TIME,
    BUT YOU CANNOT BULLS*IT ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME !!

    What is your pasis of this information? My son spent a year in Nigeria
    where the average daily income is about 80 nira, less than 1$ US a day. The
    Internet cafes were all over the place and often full. Were you ever in
    Thailand that you can say with such authority that Steve is wrong?

    Bob, I don't care how many people get [censored] at me. I will not

    and
    Taken arrested for cyber stalking.

    Mike, please do us a favor and snip out his posts when you reply. Many
    folk have killfiled this guy years ago, and never have to see his posts
    unless they get repeated in someone's reply.

    By the way, he DOES 'sort of' live in Thailand. He lives like a hermit
    in Chiang Mai, a few klicks from me, but is never seen by light of day.
    He is afraid to come outside where people can get at him. His neighbors
    have already poisoned his dogs, and would have preferred to do the same
    to him. His home is surrounded by high walls and protected by FIVE
    infra-red motion detector alarms to protect him from his neighbors. Most
    bars and restaurants in town have banned him, and he hasn't said a
    truthful statement in years! In fact, now seeing his reply to my post, I
    can give you very specific examples. He does know where I live and has
    been in my building many times (but only around 4AM.) He says that I
    can't get to an internet cafe in five minutes, but there is one right in
    the lobby of my building, one more 2 blocks south, three more across the
    street one more block south. None of these are hidden.... Chiang Mai is
    a major backpack tourist destination, so every place that caters to them
    will be providing internet service, from guest houses to on street
    restaurants. A new one just sprung up a few weeks ago, with a large sign
    boldly stating free wi-fi right on the main road along the moat around
    the Old Town. He wouldn't see it, as it's closed when he's out and about.

    I'm getting confused. First Steve claims there are internet cafes all over
    Thailand and then he says they are not. Which is it Steve? Are you just
    arguing with yourself?
