Hi Norikasan55,

May I ask for some advice? The last time I was in Bangkok, I purchased a series of top-up credits for 1-2-call in 7-eleven, but the only thing the cashier gave me were receipts of purchase with PIN numbers printed on each one. It turned out to be the wrong purchase - apparently they're supposed to be issuing you only scratch-and-reveal top-up cards instead of just receipts. As expected, the PIN numbers on the receipts were not usable (in any case, there is an additional digit reflected as opposed to the normal 16-digit PIN on the scratch cards).

That's 2000 baht down the drain, then. I just want to know what went wrong during the transaction process - the cashier didn't know English and I showed him a sample of the scratch card I bought in Singapore for reference so it couldn't have been wrong, no?

now that taksin's wife is sentenced to 3 yr jail, it may spells more issues for thailand.

maybe we can get better rates in the next few days / weeks. I'm going bkk and hua hin at the end of the month as well...

Taksin will sure appeal else in deep shit if they dig further.

Buy 1xM1 1818 calling card which is 10 dollars can be use at home or anywhere in sg.

My key point is..

Using M1 1818 card on M1 top up card can get 300mins of talk time to thai.

At the same time the M1 top up card value will not be deducted. But remember the 6 mths expiry, few days/weeks before the top up card expiry simply use it to call 021 to thailand to finish up the 18 dollars value.

M1 top up card have autoroam service. Also M1 internet sms is FREE. Each day anonymous/guest can visit M1 website to send up to 40sms per day to M1 subscriber.

Bro , no kidding?? the top up card value will not be deducted? So good? I better get myself the formulae u created as soon as possible...

m1 unlimited outgoing plan is only for local calls... so doesn't apply to the overseas calls

confirmed toll free to call 1818 from m1 prepaid card

from the FAQS on m1 webby

20. Will I be charged for local airtime when I make overseas calls using mobile phones?
When you make an international call with the 1818 card using a mobile phone, you will be billed for the local airtime charges by the relevant telecom operator and the ICC 1818 rate. Only M Card users making 1818 calls will not be billed for local airtime charges as the call is toll-free.

But for internet sms, the m1 subscriber u are smsing needs to be subscribed to internet sms isnt' it?

you are right m1 seems to have changed their internet sms policy. m1 subscribers used to be charged 10cents for each internet sms received.

Hi Bros,

Can anyone advise if the rate at Suvarnabhumi AP is comparable to what we exchange in singapore? I'm in rush and didn't manage to exchange in singapore, dun want to get ripped at the Changi AP, but I think over in Bangkok, the rate isn't that bad as compared to our AP.

Tks..
