  1. Cant believe that. Even at the expensive BPH a full knee replacement is now 250,000 baht (promotion).
  2. If I interpret this correctly, then for example a one million baht Fixed deposit, you get interest of 23,000 baht (minus 15% tax) after 3 years. Or should that be 2.3%p.a. and the interest is paid yearly and compounded for years 2 and 3. Thanks.
  3. Bank interest rates for Fixed Deposit and normal Savings Accounts have been extremely low for years, but rates do seem to be rising somewhat now. Would be interesting and beneficial for many of us to hear from posters on their recent interest rate/deposit terms at any bank. (eg: I was quoted 0.80% for 1yr term at Bangkok Bank yesterday).
  4. Now I know why a lot of plastic bags of rice at Makro have holes in them...thought it was the shelve stocking crew, but no, its your wife and son that do this. Amazing what you find out on this forum.
  5. Actually the recommended test now is Fibroscan. Takes 10 minutes and not expensive.
  6. I gotta ask. Other than some British people, who really cares about this saga and this extended family. Its just like a Thai soap opera. Of course this is IMHO.
  7. What is this?
  8. Mmmm..."Much ado about nothing".....
  9. As of a few days ago it has moved ---I believe near highway 31, but you'll need to check on that.
  10. They are not concerned with any particular account (ie: your old account), only that you have had 12 months of the 800k in an account to be shown at renewal time (along with the required bank letter etc). So your plan is well thought out.
  11. Yes same 120 on all 4 lanes, but of course the the speeds are going to be slower on the inner lanes, as there are slower cars, trucks that use them, plus cars slowing down for rest stops etc.
  12. Orthopedic Dept at BPH about 3k baht, if you can't find anywhere else.
  13. And after reading this twaddle, I could pretend to like the post...not
  14. A man that says that..is definitely not a man????
  15. Actually things come full circle sometimes. A journalists report has surfaced that lady Hussey's family tree is linked to Rasputins lineage, so her background is very suspect, probably worse than a background of any African country. Karma!
  16. PVC fittings is fine. Your wife is reading the instructions wrongly. The pump actually has to be water primed before using for the first time. I sometimes by loosen the spring cap to release any trapped air. The instructions usually have little diagrams along with the print. Happy pumping.
  17. Holiday in the Maldives, but appreciate your concern..555
  18. But the question is---did you leave the door open, enquiring minds need to know????
  19. Presume that was in the UK. (also values rise in countries like NZ, Aussie, USA etc), But sadly 99% of house prices in Thailand do not rise in value like that. Most of the time a person is lucky to sell for a small profit, as the older a house gets here, the more it deteriorates due to weather, humidity etc, and every few years they need a really good spruce up (which costs). But in some cases the land value will of course rise. The other problem is that Thailand has valuations on land/houses for tax purposes, but no set valuations for buying/selling, meaning its really up to a seller and buyer to determine a price that's amenable to both. Other posters will come along with their own experiences/stories, so they will be useful also.
  20. Not only childish, but dangerous for him and other road users...d___head move.
  21. make it easy for everyone..555
  22. These split names are quite common. Many moons ago I worked for Raytheon and Bendix in ABQ. Local companies would send mail to Mr Ray Theon and of course Mr Ben Dix. It was funny at the time. (Sorry to get off track of the main topic)
  23. Probably a few on AN could put Head Dick, and get away with it.
  24. better..IMHO
