THAIPAK is the X.25 service offered by CAT (Communications Authority of
Thailand). It allows connection to other X.25 node (server) via simple
RS232 async port (?9600? bps). There are minimum charge and traffic
charge by the byte.
At the moment there is no "commercial Internet service" in Thailand.
So people can't just walk in with money to get an account for Internet
access. The current connections (started by Chulalongkorn University
since September 1992 and later on by NECTEC) are under constraints by
the CAT to be used only for education and research purposes. That is
by such organizations or their members. If you can find some
justification (such as affiliation with Chulalongkorn) then you should
be entitled to a temporary account.
[...] Commercial service for the Internet access may come in a year
or so but even then it will still be expensive. I would say 1,000 baht
a month at the minimum.

S.1) Microsoft Windows 3.1 Thai Edition
From: PANU@vm.acs.unt.edu (Panu Sittiwong)
Date: Wed, 19 Jan 94 12:32:26 CST
Since my previous post on Windows 3.1 Thai Edition, I have received
several info. about the product. So I decide to post it in SCT to
everyone. Here is the info.
Windows 3.1 Thai Edition
The Valuesoft Vision Co. Ltd.
15th Floor, Central Chidlom Tower
22 Soi Somkid, Ploenchit Rd.
Bangkok 10330
Tel. 66-2-254-7088
Fax. 66-2-256-0310
I don't know that you can get it in the U.S. I got my copy in
Bangkok by trading in my English version of Windows 3.1. The
upgrade price is 1250 Bath plus 7% VAT. You will need to bring
all the diskettes of the English version for the upgrade. The
software comes in 8 diskettes and a Thai manual. I have been using
it since last August without any problem and the Thai characters
look real nice.
From: Randall Jones (rjones@igc.apc.org)
Date: 24 Jan 94 12:24 PST
I've just ordered the Thai version of Windows 3.1. I ordered the full
package, not the upgrade. It cost $190.00. (I haven't received it yet
but I'm looking forward to trying it out.)
I ordered from THE IDEA in California (Los Angeles, I think). Their
phone number is (213) 628-2801. This was the only vendor MicroSoft
Help could suggest for the Thai Windows in the U.S.
