  1. It's no more the case since last year.
  2. Ask for Dr Pat of the Dermatology Dept at the former Phuket International Hospital. He speaks good English too.
  3. This is the reason I don't buy Chinese branded phones. If you need regular Android versions/updates, go for Samsung phones or Google Pixel phones. They give you the longest Android updates and security updates. Samsung phones may still come with some bloatware but Pixel phones have the least bloatware.
  4. Go and ask at the Thai Post near your place.
  5. The best way to find out what food you take can affect your blood sugar value is to do your own "experiment" at home. Test your blood sugar value before meal. Take another reading 2 hours after you have consumed the food. Use one of those home kit for blood sugar testing (e.g ACCU-CHEK, Omron, Sinocare, etc). It is tedious and requires discipline. I have developed it into an "art". I weigh my dry pasta before I cook it so that I control the portion size. It's not just the type of food you eat but also the portion size that can affect your blood sugar level. The HbA1c value only gives you the average blood sugar value for the past 3 months (your 6.0 to 6.2 values are very good). Some food release sugar to your blood faster than others (Glycemic Index), which you have to be aware of (e.g. refined sugar, etc). As a diabetic, you should avoid this type of food as sudden spikes in blood sugar level over time can damage small blood veins especially in your eyes. It doesn't mean that as a diabetic your cannot enjoy your food. Eat everything in moderation and some type of food less frequently than others. Good luck in your effort to control your diabetes.
  6. It is their computer system problem. I pay rental for a second router from 3BB and paid the rental for the whole year. They still send me a bill every month. I just ignore them.
  7. Why do you accept delivery when you know it was the wrong weight and size? Just tell the delivery guy to bring it back to his office. That was what I did. No problem at all.
  8. I always buy COD on Lazada. If the size/weight of the package is very different from what I have ordered, I refused to take delivery. This happened only once in my ten years of ordering from Lazada. But nowadays, scammers are everywhere.
  9. Another is where to buy a Pixel brand mobile phone. That brand is not popular at all in Thailand. But WIN is searching. Any time he goes into a mall, he'll ask around at mobile phone shops there. Never heard of Lazada.co.th? https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?spm=a2o4m.homepage.search.d_go&q=Pixel phones
  10. OP wants his baguette before 8am. Here is a tip. I buy the half-size baguettes from BigC, freezed them in the fridge. The night before, take out from the fridge and they are fresh as new the next morning.
  11. If you are permitted to stay until 28th, then you can leave on 28th.
  12. BigC Extra in JungCeylon opens from 10am to midnight.
  13. Try the in-house bakery of BigC Supermarket in JungCeylon.
  14. As part of the document check process, the staff in Room 103 will check your address registration. If not up to date, they will advice you to go to the 'Drive through' 90-day reporting booth to get it updated. No extra document needed if you are staying at the same address.
  15. I have a 3BB Optic fibre package of 1000mbps down and 100mbps up. When I use wifi, I get 400mbps down and 100mbps up. When I connect to the router LAN port I get 1000mbps down. You don't get the full 1000mbps download speed when you use wifi.
