  1. Will send you a PM later from home with the details. What is HB1Ac? Can I request at the hospital next month q HB1AC test?
  2. Most of these things are not in my regular menu. I don't drink beer. Only every week 2 gkasses of white wine (meeting at the local restaurant with friends). I have a BS tester and I use it every day.
  3. Salt and sugar free diet (food and drinks). Exercise is forbidden for me unless is it light ecercise which is not putting strength in the heart. I eat normally: 1. A light breakfast (toast, corn flakes, non processed meat and eggs). Sometimes also beans in tomato sauce and/or french fries. 2. A full (mostly Thai) meal at midday. Mostly a scoopr of rice with 2 selected (sugar and salt free) toppings. 3. At dinner I eat mostly yoghurt or fruit salad. I drink with most of these meals Unsweetened Soya milk.
  4. I have a kidney disease since birth and I take medication for that kidney disease. At this moment, I am in grade 3.5. I also have a hereditary blood disease for which I take Worfarin. My blood vessels have been replaced from the Heart to the legs and to all organs in 2018. I have also a Pacemaker since 1997 and I an FORBIDDEN to do any exercise that would put strengt on my heart. I have at the moment Diabetes 2, and I take medication to reduce the BS level. But I would like to know if there is a NATURAL medication to help reduce the BS level.
  5. The high BS was detected today at the hospital in a monthly checkup. According to the doctor there is nothing to worry about at this point as such BS levels are normal for a person with 68 years. Last month BS level was 126.
  6. Like every month, I went today to the hospital in order to do a monthly checkup and to receive my medicine precribed for another month. My Blood Sugar levels are rising a few months already, and today it was 198 BS. I would like to know if other members know a product (preferred are natural products) to lower the blood sugar levels. TIA
  7. I have a gmail account and I can access it trough the Browser. If I do a search on a Keyword (eg.: "Lawyer"), i get all the emails that contain the Keyword. But I can not find a way to download the selected emails in group. Only 1 by 1. I have also Mozilla Firefox to group all my emails and news accounts. But here the same story. It is possible to do a search trough the emails on a keyword and I get all the emails containing that keyword in a separate window. But I can find no way to download them all in once. Do you know how to achieve this? TIA
  8. Let's face it, we are on the brink of WW3. Europe can not simply stand on the side and look a war started at one of their sovereign neighbours and their citizens being sloughtered. Soon, Europe will be involved in this Russian-Ukraine war. And it's only a matter of time before the USA will start to send troups to the war zone. With this in view, I and many others have some savings on a bank anywhere. Inflation is skyrocketing and soon the saved money in a bank will be worth "Nothing". My question is: "What would be the best investment for bank savings that could be chosen in order to save some value"? Gold? Housing? Crypto?
  9. Why don't he starts cleaning his own front door? Plenty of corruption going on there. Ask the "watches" man.
  10. The best remark I read here in a long time. And I know more than a couple of Westerners that adapted to the "Thai culture" and need to gorgle every day a few bottles of Leo beer down their troath and drive home on their motorbike (mostly with their Thai girly on the other seat?
  11. Is there already a declaration of war by Russia. Some newspapers I read say that the invasion of Ukraine is a declaration of war. But the Thai newspapers doesn't mention a war. What will the impact of a possible war Russia - Ukraine be to Thailand (and most important to the expats)?
  12. Thanks for the tip. Will try it as soon as I get my new passport.
  13. I installed the program to Digitalize the drivers license and being able to read Thai, the installation was a "piece of cake". The program has a lot of similarities to the Health pass, But there are some features that can be very handy. Eg.: It has a built-in GPS location and an emergency call. If you are driving and something happens to you, you can call emergency services and they will get your precise location. All in all a nice peice of software for the mobile phone.
  14. I will need to get a new passport in April and I was thinking "no big deal". That was until I started to rethink what was involved in the change of passports. - As usual, on the reception of a new passport, I will need to prepare some documents and go to immigration for a "VISA transfert". - As the passport number is linked to my "Mor Phrom" health pass, I will need to go to the Maharat hospital and ask them to change the Passport numbers. - The drivers license's are also linked and I will also need to pay a visit to the DLT offices to ask for new driver's licenses. Maybe they will need new "Proof of Residence" documents from Immigration. - My Thai Bank accounts are also linked to my passport and I will need to visit the Thai Banks to change the Passport numbers. What seemed to be "a piece of cake" had suddenly become "a nightmare".
  15. A high amount of the "middle priced" phones have more processing power and more gadgets built in than most people every are going to use. You can easily add programs to your phone to make the phone suit to your needs. Thus, I see no benefit to buy a very expensive phone unless you want to buy one to impress everybody. On a sidenote, I see a lot of people with the latest model of I-phone or Samsung and only use that phone for watching Facebook, youtube or whatever social media that can be watched easily on EVERY phone.
  16. This is indeed the Thai law. When a traffic accident with injuries happen, instead of giving the case to a "Public Prosecutor" and start a Judiciary case, the RTP in Thailand can keep the case for months and even for years before handling it over to the Tribunals. If during the time that the case is in hands of the police a "handshake" with the cops is made, the case will be "Classified Vertically" and never see the daylight again.
  17. Before I moved to Thailand, now more that 20 years ago, there was a reportage on TV about an Englishman who was performing twice a day a monocycle act in front of the Cathedral in Antwerp (Belgium). In that reportage, they asked him if he would give a hint on how much he earned a day. His answer was about 5,000 baht/day on weekdays and up to 10,000 baht/day in the weekend and holidays. 1 baht equals about 1 Belgian frank at that time. Compared to a normal wage of 35,000 BFR/month. he was making a lot of money.
  18. Sorry, but I don't understand how a full grown up, and possible mature person can fall for these scams. I have 2 email accounts. 1 for personal use and 1 for public use. The email account for personal use get almost no scam messages. The public use email receives every day at least a dozen emails about a dying old lady with millions of US dollar wanted to donate her fortune to charity; an unknown family member who died in an airplane accident (with the link to that accident and I seemed to be the only heridairy; my email address won millions of USD on the Microsoft lottery, etc. Everything goes straight to my "Trash" box without reading. The same with my phone. My phone has 2 SIM Cards. 1 for personal use and 1 for public use. The SIM for personal (PostPaid) use get almost no scam messages. The SIM for public use is a PrePaid SIM which get daily about 10 SMS/Calls about the latest phone for sale at their outlets; the latest PrePaid Sim cards available at 7/11 shops; offers from Lazada/Shopee/etc.; Etc. I tend to exchange this SIM card every time the "scam" SMS/Calls get too much annoying. This SIM is set to NEVER make a sound when a message comes in. Life can be so easy when you get rid of all this scamming.
  19. Domestic violence[edit] Violence against women and children has been rising in Thailand. In 2006, 13,550 cases of domestic violence against women and children were reported by Thailand's Ministry of Public Health.[45] Between 2007 and 2015 the total number of violence victims seeking assistance at the One-Stop Crisis Centre of the Public Health Ministry totalled 207,891. Of those, 105,622 involved children those involving women amounted to 102,269. In 2016, the number of distressed women and children seeking assistance from the centre was 20,018, according to the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB).[46] Source: Wikipedia In 2006, there were 37 cases per day of dometic violence REPORTED by the MPH!!!!!!!!!.
  20. Error. The sentence should read: "Because MOSTLY......" Most people, killed or injured in an accident, are because of the fault of a moron ignoring the traffic rules and/or intoxicated. When driving on the road, wherever you are, watch the other drivers for moronic behavior and try to stay away from them.
  21. Indifferently of the actions of the man, he should be jailed for live. Spilling a beer to pour over the head of woman is a sacrilege and can not be forgiven ... Depending on the brand of the beer (eg.: "Heineken", aka "<deleted> water"), the sentence could be reduced.
  22. Coronavirus: Outcry after Trump suggests injecting disinfectant as treatment (Google)
