  1. I live in Koh Phangan and there is always a good selection of Hawaiian shirts in the markets, at good prices. I first started wearing them when I bought a couple of Tommy Bahamas shirts in Santa Monica. Smarter than a t shirt on occasion. Even though I live here, I would never show of my hairy armpits with some of the classless crap worn here.
  2. Apparently 4 people have been killed in a minivan crash, not yet reported
  3. Thanks Sheryl, Ive got an appointment at the Samitivej hospital on Wednesday am.
  4. I had endovascular surgery to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm a few years back and following an ultrasound exam in BKK hospital Samui, it seems that the aneurysm may be leaking. To be sure, I need to have a CT Scan, using contrasting dye. The problem with this is that I have stage 5 ckd with a gfr of 15 and the dye is likely to finish off the kidneys and necessitate dialysis immediately. Obviously I need to see a good vascular surgeon ASAP. Your help would be much appreciated.
  5. I just completed this quiz. My Score 50/100 My Time 146 seconds  
  6. Thanks Sheryl, Ill let you know how we progress
  7. Thanks for your reply Sheryl. We live in Koh Phangan, so Bangkok would probably make sense. As you have suggested, We need to see a specialist, who can advise us of the best way forward. The doctor at Surat Thani hospital, apart from the blood transfusions has given us folic acid and vitamin pills and told us to come back in 3 months (15 Jan) There are several problems that I can see for myself, the girl is very anemic and pale, even jaundiced and her spleen is obviously enlarged which is making it difficult for her to pee, although it doesnt hurt her.
  8. My GF and I are looking after a 9 yo Thai girl, who has Thalassemia Beta and will be in need of this transplant, if she is to live a normal life. So far she has had 2 blood transfusions at the Surat Thani government hospital, at no cost, but as I will have to pay for surgery, I would be grateful if anyone knows of a pediatrician that specialises in this field that I can get in touch with.
  9. The 1st 2 episodes of Conflict are available on movies2watch,tv. The 3rd and final episode was only aired last night
  10. The state of British politics almost demands a bit of outside help and Nigel Farage could be just what the doctor ordered. I reckon Maggie would approve.
  11. Elon Musk craves attention and he probably sees Nigel Farage as a useful conveyance. Farage is going to go very close to being the UKs next PM and if Musk can help him get there Elon will once again share the limelight.
  12. Nothing yet hk. We`ve had our house painted and a few repairs here and there taken care of, but the road where we live is flooded at the moment and the concrete road that the authorities have promised us is on hold until the rain abates. When we get round to a visit, I`ll certainly give you an update
  13. Can you elaborate please, I'm thinking of moving to Hua Hin and I'd like opinions on local hospitals, both private and government. Thanks
  14. I saw them at the Isle of Wight festival in 1970, brilliant!
  15. permanently banned from driving, you think that's sufficient?
  16. I use Senna Leaf capsules which work ok, I buy them from the pharmacy.
  17. I buy earl grey tea bags from Lazada. 25 bags for ฿69.00, excellent product
  18. I have had my natwest account for almost 50 years and I have lived in Spain for 2 years, France for 15 years, the UK for 23 years and here for 13 years, so stop spouting nonsense
  19. My main address is in France, I lived there for 15 years, the DWP know that and send life certificated there. There are too many of you that make false assumptions and yes they also know that I spend most of the winter in Thailand. You dont have to be in the UK for 6 months, I thought you knew that.
  20. I will be changing that info next month. Im not looking for advice here, Im just letting you all know that big brother is indeed coming. get your houses in order before Jan 25
  21. My D/L is Thai. i think they only want the main page of my passport for identity purpose
  22. IMPORTANT INFORMATION My bank called me today and said that they needed to update my account details, which would take 20 minutes or so and it seems that transam was right to warn us. They asked me if my address and phone number were correct, no problem, but then they started asking me where I was and after I told them I spend the winters in Thailand and Barbados. they then asked me how long I spend in England, to which I replied at least 6 months in Europe, including England. They then sent me an e-mail and part of the text was as follows What we need you to do Please send us certified* photocopies of the original documents. We require one item of documentation from the list below to evidence your identity: Your passport (a photocopy of your visa is also required to be certified if you are a non-EU national currently visiting the UK and providing documentation to any NatWest branch) Your photo card drivers’ licence (if you are a UK/EU national) Your EU National Identity Card (if applicable) Please do not send originals. Mobile phone bills and internet access bills will not be accepted. The below options can be used to certify your documentation which should be personally presented to: A NatWest branch if you are living in/visiting the UK Another bank. The full address of the branch and name of the certifying officer will be required A lawyer, notary or accountant (or local equivalent) During the conversation I asked the lady if I was legally bound to answer their questions to which she answered no, but we may well close your account if you dont. Anyway, I will be telling the DWP about my recent move to Thailand in the very near future as it looks like the party is well and truly over.
