I had hip replacements done now 7 years ago now it was a posterior approach, at a privet hospital, cost then was 270K baht, but I had a ceramic joint leading an active life (we have a small holding rearing a few cattle), that was 25k baht extra, well worth it, your quote of 350k baht would be about right., at the time I was quoted 75k baht at a government hospital ,but I would have to waited for 6 weeks. After care physio you are well right, you are on your own, I was lucky I have a friend of mine in the Uk who is a physio he gave me a list of YouTube Vidos to look at, I was doing up two 2 hours day of physio for almost 2 months, but it paid off, I have very little problem now .

Never seen beef from Argentina or NZ in Thailand .milk powder from NZ yes. Thailand dose produce beef of its own ,look at Thai Angus beef from Macro not bad ,they is the Thai/ French beef company in Issan , they use a Charolais X Brahman breed plus a couple more outlets ,using the same breed.

I know Saraburi well, the new station must be way out of town, they are no big lakes in the middle of Saraburi, just the Chow Phraya river, would you build a new railway station mile from the main town center?, is this a photo shop job?.

I have had 3-4 new bikes over the years, ok small bikes, none have red plates, cannot say I have seen a big bike with red plates. All my new bikes I ride around for up to 3 months waiting for the plates to arrive, never been stopped by the police, as a bike with no plates.

If you go in to AN past posts potatoes and growing them has come up often ,here in Thailand they are not easy , as for finding seed potatoes here in Thailand ,easier to find hens teeth just not available, just to hot ,and potatoes are susceptible to a lot of dieses ,I have tried twice to grow them put them in the ground with lots of compost ,that was the last I saw of them . Only two weeks ago someone wrote about bringing in seeds from our own countries, to grow here, just will not work, I have tried it along with others no joy. Even the potatoes you get from Macro Big C etc. or your local market as we do, they are not the same as our ones in our home countries what verity they are I do not know, I think ?? they are imported from China. I use to work of a large arable farm in the UK and they put a sprout inhibiter on the crop before going into store, if it is still done, I do not know.

Do they also stock Tartan paint and glass hammers.

2019 – A new Senate, composed of 250 military-appointed members, was sworn in in the aftermath of the general elections held on that year. 2024 – After the Senate military-appointed terms expire, there will be an indirectly voted by the candidates from 20 professional and social groups to 200 members. If you remember back in 2019 the senate had 250 military -appointed members, you could say who ever got in would have been out voted by the 250 military appointed members. With Pita it was these votes that probably kept him out. But now after 2924 the military appointed members terms expire, now they will be an indirectly voted by candidates from 20 professional and social groups too 200.

Why can't they just use a debit card ,show it to the card reader job done ,when I am back in the UK that is about all I use now, takes a bit of getting use to paying for a pint of beer using a card, I use to always have UK cash here for trips back ,now it is about 40 GBP ,for that just in case time. Last time I was in the UK, someone in front was using they mobile phone to pay for some shopping, but it would not work, I thought I was back in LOS for a few seconds.

No, when I go back to the UK my Thai phone sim stays here in Thailand cannot use it in the UK, stays with the wife, when in the UK a I buy a UK sim, so I could use my UK sim at the airport, but when I get back here in Thailand I am basically phoneless ,unless you can down load the immigration QR code before I leave, or get a paper copy , for the return trip.

Lopburi is the same, central area is walkable (ignore the monkeys), Your Big C, Lotus, Makro etc. are a bit out of town, but they are a very good Bart-bus service, serves all the above shops, cost now I think is flat fair of 10 baht.

Has anyone not noticed that they are a restaurant of some kind, on just about every street corner? known as supply and demand. If they include all the coffee shops, the rate of going south, would be even higher. 100 baht for Mango and sticky rice expensive.

Lived near Lopburi now for 25 years, it is OK you have the old palace and grounds and museum old building, I like it, not many farangs around, it is the home of a missionary society language training or was? plus a few teachers. Must be 25 years ago now I had the misfortune to go to Pattaya for a day, not my cup of tea by far, everyone to they own PS, Our immigration office in and out, extension done, plus 90 day 35 minuets, nice staff, never a problem, no que.

Train, it takes about 3 hours, or minie bus, they use to , opposite from Wat San-pra-gun and level crossings that takes 1 1/2 hours. think not done that trip for a few years now.

When Tucksin sold Shin Holdings, the phone company he did it though the Thai stock exchange, where Thai company law said that ding it that way you do not need to pay tax. Call it a lope hole in the law or just doing business. At the time, his maid was the third richest person in Thailand, did not know he paid them so well.

Can not see it happening, as you said, the unloading and loading, would you use more fuel doing it this way than a ship sailing around Singapore? And the environmental impact of it all, and what is the time scale, when it is all done the world could be a different place. It will be granting the privet sector a 50-year concession, but with the Thai economy being not heathy, would anyone what to invest in the project, or will the main players try and screw Thailand, so the country gets nothing out of it, if China is involved the odds could be high.

Vietnam is the biggest producer in the world for Robusta coffee, some call Robusta coffee for the masses. I much prefer Arabic, coffee, as has been said Samatar coffee is good, I have a nice Columban one, again I use beans and grind it when needed. Boncafe's Arabica Extra dark, bean from Lazada is not bad.

Thanks for that, Mineral oil, would make sense, used for cooling, but that does seem a lot of oil, but what I have seen of the fire, it was one big substation.

Like the Saudi royal jewel disaster, they even made a soap opera of it, will this be coming to a TV near you soon??

Had to read it twice,25000liters of cooking oil went up in smoke at the sub station even once the power is back on, there are countless systems which need to be rebooted and checked to ensure they are working properly and are stable. Jonathan Smith, LFB's deputy commissioner, said the fire at the electrical substation involved a transformer containing 25,000 liters of cooling oil. The fire was "very visible and significant," he said. The above from the BBC Websight, did anyone else know that transformers contain cooking ??, an accident waiting to happen, past tense, an accident that has happened.

For healthy cooking oils Rice Bran oil is good.

I do not work out, my joints/back would not have it. But, I do love my push bike, I do 60-70 km/week, not in one hit, an hour of an evening, living in a rural area very little traffic, often more dogs than vehicles.

I would not a famous Youtuber if one was served up with my lunch time plate of fried rice, not interested. If they make a pile of money doing it ,thats all right as long as they pay tax on the income.

And what about the 300 plus people that die on the Thai roads during the Songkran festival, plus the thousands that are injured, and need hospital care, the cost of that lot would make a big hole income from tourist.

Cashew nuts it takes 3 years from planting to the first crop, but up to 8 years before they become an economical crop, then you have to find your market, it would have to be middleman, buying the whole crop, then you are at his mercy for prices, sell them from a back of a pickup somewhere would not work. Most fruit trees take a few years to produce a crop, limes can be just a few years, but very often most farms/gardens have some lime trees for the they own use, we are hardly ever short of limes, look at growing them in concrete rings, that works, but again, is they a market where you can make some money. Ok, my main field, go for cattle again, the market is low at the moment, cattle would be cheap, buy some Thai Native X cattle, put an Angus or Beefmaster bull on them, sell the progeny, use you land to grow some grass, not Nappier

50km ,will that be first or second time round? on the speedo, the symptoms will be noise, nonmale not a problem, the drive belt may need replacing if it is first time round? 13 years old could be a slightly perished , give it oil and filter change, have a look at the air cleaner.
