Have you considered building your own? I am far from a techie but I did and it was both instructive and a lot of fun. REDDIT has a forum: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/ that is fantastically helpful from start to finish. I ended-up with a tower that cost me less than 15,000 baht all in, but that was the equivalent of pre-mades costing twice as much. Got most of my components via Lazada and INVADEIT.COM

Super helpful information: Thank you. Was the B265K for a single knee? Did they discuss the possibility of bone spur re-occurrence?

"The Wild Boar" on Loi Kroh, near soi 1. Had a excellent French Toast and bacon breakfast along with other breakfast offerings. Nice place, friendly staff.

Thanks, Sheryl and also thanks for the contributions of others. I will consult further with my orthopedist but the likelihood of re-occurrence will probably make such a procedure impractical. I have twice been afflicted with life and limb threatening, hospital acquired MSRA post surgical infections. As I am now 80, my risk factor is high, especially with knee replacement surgery being quite high on the list of surgeries resulting in HIA's. Adding to the risk is that both knees need replacement. It's unlikely that both could be replaced in one surgery so two separate surgeries would be necessary. Clearly, I have some difficult risk/lifestyle decisions to make.

One time when I was living in an Udon Thani Moo Ban, they sprayed the paddy fields with a powerful insecticide. Immediately, there was a rush of villagers to pick-out the dead and dying river crabs from the paddy irrigation ditches.

While getting a cortisone injection in my already arthritic knees, the Doctor pointed out bone spurs within the knee joints. He was using some kind of scanning device to view the joints to guide the needle. We were pressed for time and I didn't have time to question him in any depth. Usually, cortisone injections give me immediate relief but not this time and I suspect the bone spurs have a lot to do with that. For many reasons, I have been avoiding knee replacement surgery. The last two days I've been studying-up on arthroscopic bone spur removal but hard facts are tough to come by. Has anybody here had this procedure done locally? I assume not out-patient. How many days in hospital post surgery? How difficult and fast was recovery? What were the costs per knee? Where did you have it done? Any and all information appreciated.

Same. Apple disabled all the apps on my phone, could not upgrade to new OS. "You'll just have to buy a new one to stay in the Apple kingdom." No, I wont.

Actually, I think by law, gas bottles are not permitted in residential buildings. Kind of like prostitution also not permitted.

There is a very nice plant store in Jomtien, at the rear of Rampho Market, near the back exit onto Trapasset soi 17. There is another on Trapasset 17, near Trapasset Rd

OK, I'll say it. In the US, one in five women are victims of domestic assault from either a spouse or boyfriend, In Australia, one in six, UK close to the same

Yes. they allowed the small, I think 6.5kg tanks as long as they were stored and used on the balcony. One tank would last 8 to 10 weeks, just me using it.

The balcony was well sheltered from the rain though I did cover my stove and kitchen-ware rack. Insects were really less a problem outside than in. Rarely a roach inside the room because no grease or food inside. It was just as important to keep an outside kitchen clean as inside. It was on a 5th floor so dust not really any more an issue that normal. Pigeons were sometimes a problem.

Depends entirely on how the balcony faces to the sun. I've had balconies that faced south and had direct sun that were unusable during the daytime. A north-west facing balcony was OK most of the year. May through July direct sun in the late afternoon.

I had a 45 s/m studio in Pattaya for a year, balcony but not sea view. I found 45 s/m enough to use a wardrobe and a bookcase to wall-off the sleeping area from the "Living area". Balcony was large enough to set up a proper kitchen so no greasy smoke from cooking inside. It was actually very comfortable & livable. Paid B6000/m BTW, it was a "Thai style" apartment building, not a modern condo.

In most US states, "Breaking & entering in the Night time" is a more serious felony than daytime. This isn't the 1st time for Colombian B&E gangs here. More than 10 years ago a Colombian B&E gang was arrested in Pattaya. They had spotters in housing estates who would point out homes where the owners were away for extended periods, especially wealthy foreigners who go back to home countries for months at a time. They would go in with moving trucks, showing security false documents saying the home was being sold. It all went directly into containers that were then shipped to S. America. Apparently, there is a lucrative market for used consumer goods of all types in many S. American countries.

Also a branch on Soi Excite, off Soi Chiyaphum (Pothole) in Pattaya. Great breads.

A friend had a very nice 70+s/m 1br with excellent views to 2 sides at "The Ritz" and older, smaller building at the top of Pratimnak-5, next to "Old Rogues Retreat" restaurant. Danish owner.

I was riding pillion on a Bangkok moto-taxi. We had to make a hairpin U-turn around a set of traffic cones (Set-up, of course to prevent the right turn across traffic we were about to make) He actually went too slow, completely lost headway and over we went in the middle of the turn. Naturally, a city bus was barreling right towards my suddenly prone body. Got to say, for a 75 year old, I moved pretty quickly, rolling to the curb while getting a unique view of the underside of the bus. Too slow can be a problem, especially 2-up.

One sentence says "Thong Lo", then the article goes on to say the crime actually happened in Phra Khanong, off Sukhumvit 71, Pridi (soi) 13. Very "working class" area. I lived opposite this soi for 20 years.

The heat a fridge removes to make the compartment cold has to go somewhere. Since fridges don't have outside fan units like AC units do, the heat is usually dissipated by coils located behind the back panel. Sometimes the sides will get hot as well. Perfectly normal.

I bought a grinder on Lazada identical to the one pictured in the OP. The blade was soft metal and became bent and uselessly dull within a months use. I then paid a little more for this WORLDTECH model. That was 4 years ago. I still use it daily and it has held up very nicely. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/worldtech-xpresso-wt-cg-m150a-150-i1889942110-s5923308480.html?

Shocking! This would never happen in the UK!!

Great point. I remember trying to get dressed in a single person tent, during a rainstorm, trying not to touch the fabric. Not a fond memory. Also, a single person tent tends to concentrate condensation.. I once bought a cheap, $30 3 person tent in Walmart. Had an outside, hinged frame and a rainfly. Ended-up using it for 10 years on many cross-country trips. Sometimes you get far more than you pay for..

This combo from Lazada, better than almost any AIO you'll find for under B20K https://s.lazada.co.th/s.kMnSF 8gb/512 sufficient, 16gb/512 better https://www.lazada.co.th/products/wanke-24-144hz-27-4k-2k-19201080-hd-led-19-i4692565385-s19549227135.html? I have the 27" version of this monitor and it is very good. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/logitech-wireless-keyboard-and-mouse-mk235-i160579425-s193390932.html? Almost any pair of cheap PC speakers will be better than what you will get with an AIO

That should do it.
