The send SMS to Thailand website have upgrade their service by allowing the SMS to be 1000 characters. The SMS Thailand also added a new human touch to the SMS by checking the SMS before translating and sending so that they are correct. Some users forget to add the name to the SMS and it need to be added since the SMS sends from a random number.
The price at 1$ for send a translated SMS to Thailand has not changed and it is still the only company right now providing this excellent service.
If you want to contact someone in Thailand quick and easy just visit the SMS Thailand website and send your first translated SMS within minutes.

Be careful on what you do on internet cafés from the 23 august in Thailand. The new cyber law requires internet cafes to save your data for 90 days with your ID card or passport. If you work the company that you work on will also have to save the internet cash for 90 days. If the company does not save the data they can be fined 500 000 THB and yes we know its ridiculous.
Remember not to visit any adult site or blocked sites trough proxy since that also is illegal.
From the news
From Aug 23, private firms, organizations and government agencies will be required to store all internet traffic data for 90 days so it is available as digital evidence for police. Pol Col Yannapol Youngyuen, Commander of the Bureau of Technology and Cyber Crime at the Department of Special Investigation, said the IT Ministry order has no exceptions and will include banks, hotels, schools, and internet cafes. He said internet cafes will also be required to collect information to identify computer users, such as ID cards and passports time of logging in, and sites visited. Shops that fail to heed the rules will face fines up to 500,000 baht

Come on now True one more messages and I will start spam you customer service. I get a SMS every around nine in the morning, that’s ok. But yesterday you sent me a news update from some non important news, a bid on some Thai eBay and then 3 other SMS I have no idea what they mean.
It is with fear I see the new stations being set up around Bangkok and they will send you a SMS every time you pass a store. It will be so many SMS in ever bodies phones that I am not sure my memory will be enough.
So please True stop sending SMS in Thai that I can not read anyway or I will start sending back to you.

Bangkok Post had an article about the new “cyber cops” in Thailand. The two guys who have the right kick in your door and take your computer with no warrants.
They arrested some poor webmaster that had some guest spammed his forum with sexy pictures. I am sure he uploaded some sexy picture himself but he was arrested because there was 1000 of pictures every day. If you are a lonely webmaster then its not that you want to spend time on, deleting other people’s pictures.
The “cyber cops” insulating that Thailand is full with webmasters that sneak into internet café to run their forum from their to avoid trace.
I do not know really why they bother to stop this internet website when the Thai “sexy” magazines are full with the same pictures and there are xxx movies in Pan Tip.
How about stop all the prostitutes and naked Go Go bars before they run after some poor farrang posting on some website. If he post pictures of his Thai girlfriend from USA he will do nothing wrong but if he do it from Thailand he risk 5 years prison.
