I to am a Xiaomi fan believing they are about the best value mobile around but If you prefer staying with the company you know then probably the Samsung A22/23, the 23 being the newest model in that medium budget line. It includes 5G capability. 5G is just being rolled-out and won't become broadly available for at least another year or so. Lazada sells the A235G with 128gb RAM for B6690, the earlier A22 also with 128gb ram for B5690. These would be the current equivalent of your J7. There is also a M32 model in a similar price range. Better, brighter display but poorer performance specs. You might find this video helpful. He talks fast bet gets a lot of info in.

Thanks. Looks like I'll be watching from my balcony and not far, far away. My Jomtien apartment is between Beach and 2nd Rd. Boxed in.

What is the marathon route? I want to stay far, far away.

Search "rat infestation" on YouTube and you'll find dozens of alternative ideas for removal.

There is no way to predict how long immigration will take. It can be anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes depending on whether other full flights are landing at the same time or not. If your connecting flight is departing from BKK, then you are probably OK but if you have to get to DMK, then very tight, especially if a weekday when you would be contending with evening rush hour traffic as well.

https://www.youtube.com/c/BobBrad These two professional physical therapists' are goofy but really good. They explain things well and explain why certain exercises are dangerous.

The toe touching is exactly what brought on my Sciatica. Halfway through my 2km walk my lower back would start to tighten-up so some good back stretches touching my toes should fix that; right? Wrong! Bad idea.

When I was having the worst of Sciatica, the only position: standing, sitting or laying down that didn't cause pain was laying on my stomach with 2 pillows under my upper chest, my chin overhanging. As KhunLA stated, the back in a concave position. Half push-ups like he described, done very slowly with arms only, hips staying on the bed. I'd start with very slow head lifts, from looking down to straight ahead, then finish with leg lifts, slowly and one at a time. no more than five lifts each. Took about two months to get the sciatica under control.

Does Thailand have anything like the magistrate system for arraignments and bail setting?

Perhaps not huge but WITHERSPOON'S on Soi Buakhow has a lot of large TV's placed all around the premises so one is never very far away.

I doubt it. More likely they will lay low for a bit at the old family farm in Nahkon Nowhere, then start having quiet meetings with witnesses who will be encouraged with a variety of inducements to suddenly suffer from substantial memory loss.

I brought on a very painful and prolonged episode of SCIATICA by doing stretching exercises inappropriate for my age which is over 70. I am not suggesting the exercise the OP is highlighting is bad but if you are over 50, do some serious research before initiating any exercise. What is beneficial for one person may be harmful to another. I learned the hard and painful way the cost of such a mistake.

I went to Soi Cowboy with friends this past Friday & Saturday nights, though didn't stay later than 11pm. Crazy House was as OMF stated, same-old but mostly veterans, few new recruits. Dollhouse is under new ownership, no more Happy Hour until 9pm, cut back to 8:30. Not a bad line-up of dancers, some very attractive and fairly lively entertainers showing most of what there is to show. Speaking of showing what there is to show, Long Gun surprised me with a very nice line-up, many of whom displayed their talents in full though the youngest and cutest were more coyly clad. Long Gun remains old school with shows that harken back to yesteryears long past. The venerable "egg drop", alas with plastic balls, flower pull from the groovy garden, ciggy puffing and balloon busting with little darts flying like shrapnel. I can not imagine anybody getting worked-up enough by any of these numbers to go out an commit even the mildest sex crime. Tilac had far more customers sitting out front than inside. A quick peek inside made clear why. Mostly veterans, few rookies, nothing changed in 15 years, including the wait-staff. As others have said, lots of dark entryways still.

Not Thai.

The fact that there is not a single video on YouTube featuring this motorbike tells you all you need to know about this bike. Some importer bought whatever quantity he needed for them to slap whatever name he pleased on them. You Tube is full of videos of people who have bought any number of cheap Chinese vehicles. Most of them are not happy stories. What this does look like is a parts-bin special. It appears to be a copy of a Honda Wave. Cheap copies of almost every Honda motorbike part are made in China, including copy engines. All some shophouse factory has to do is buy binfull of these cheap parts and assemble a copy bike. As others have said, better off spending 20K on a decent used model with a green book and plate already there.

If this is an official prediction by the Thai Meteorological Dept, then I won't trouble myself to carry an umbrella. Their weather predictions are about as reliable as my stock market prognostications.

A good friend in Khon Kaen was taken to a hospital in KK a few days ago with chest pains. He's had a series of tests and has been told he needs triple by-pass cardiac surgery. He was quoted 1 million baht, all in. I do not know if the hospital he is in is private or Govt. He is not insured. Does anybody have any recent knowledge of costs in Thailand for a triple by-pass without further complications? Information on either Government hospitals or Private would be helpful. Also, any specific recommendations for a Government hospital either in Khon Kaen or fairly nearby that is known to have expertise in cardiac surgery?

Does this lab have any trained medical staff qualified to assist in analyzing your lab report ?

Using Surfshark VPN, I get US Netflix with no problem in both Bangkok (3BB) & Jomtien (TOT), Amazon Prime: overseas content only which is rarely worth it. Is US Hulu content available in Thailand via VPN?

Must have in any modern toolbox is a simple, pen sized electrical field detector that will tell the user whether a wire or fixture is "live" or not. Usually around B200-300. Saved me a lot of surprises when renovating an old house with remnants of nob & tube wiring.

One odd thing to be aware of is you will probably see displays of and recommendations for Mitsubishi AC units. There are actually two Mitsubishi entities selling AC units: "Mitsubishi Electric" which is more consumer grade and "Mitsubishi Heavy Industries" which is more commercial grade, however, they do overlap. Consumer grade usually means more features, commercial grade tend to be beefier. I'm not saying one is better than the other but something to be aware of.

When I built a house years ago (yes, with an Ex but no regrets) there was one thing she did that impressed me. She spent several days driving around nearby villages and anytime she saw a new house she liked, she'd ask the owners if the builder had been reliable and had stuck with the contract. As a result, we ended up with a terrific builder, never a day late or unexplained days off. House completed a week prior to schedule for exactly what we were quoted.

Be careful buying an older phone running on 3G. Most 3G networks are being closed down as less than 5% of phones are using it and mobile providers are ramping-up 5G. Even now, many upcountry areas no longer have 3G coverage.

I'm really satisfied with my Hisense 70" TV. A neighbor is interested in buying a new TV and we were browsing Lazada together. The "Hisense" section was displaying a lot of cheaper models, marked "Grade B". In the US, "Grade B" can mean a lot of things: returned, refurbished, box damage, cosmetic damage, etc. Anybody here buy any "B" goods off of Lazada? What's the deal?

I stayed twice at P-Plus prior to the pandemic, booked of Booking.com for about B600/n. The room was on the smaller side but very nicely appointed with good linens and a comfortable bed. There were other people on my floor but the noise level was low. Staff were helpful and friendly. Great value for the price. I recommended it to several friends who later gave me positive feedback.
