Ombra

Available online, not in the shop in Hua Hin. There wasn't a single one.

I also have an old Philips and I am happy to learn about silicone liners because keeping it clean has always been a bit of a problem.

I went to Hua Hin last week and found what I wanted. As I came from the south, I stopped first at Bluport, which was a big disappointment. The third floor was closed, and the other floors were very empty. My second stop was at PowerBuy, which was also a disappointment as it is really quite small. However, a young bloke there assured me that I could find whatever I wanted at Market Village, and he was right. They have an excellent selection of watches and fitness trackers, and I was able to buy a Samsung Galaxy 5 for my wife's birthday.

Thanks for the help. I'll see for myself next week.

That is good to know. I thought that I saw that there was a PowerBuy attached to a Tops supermarket. If not, I'll just buy online.

Thanks. I think that I have to take a trip to Hua Hin. PowerBuy should have what I am looking for.

Yes, thank you. I shall forget this.

Thanks. I was hoping to avoid a trip to Hua Hin.

I would like to buy something like a FitBit watch in Prachuap so that I can measure my exercise and sleep. I realise that I can buy one online, but I would like to find a shop in Prachuap which sells them so that I can have a good look at them. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

The minimum daily wage will be 337 baht from October 1st and he is proposing to raise it to 800 baht over two terms (eight years?). Is that a radical proposal?

It is surprising to learn that no-one from the Embassy or the Chiang Mai Consulate could act as an interpreter.

Thank you very much. When I searched on Google, I got the results, but not on Lazada.

Lazada has just reported 'no results' for spark plug or sparking plug. That is on my Acer laptop.

I had some business in the UK which required a notarized copy of my passport. Siam Legal did it for 850 baht. The work looked good and solved my problem.

Thanks for the information. 30 days gives me plenty of scope.

My permission to live here in retirement ends on 17th October and I have to apply for a renewal in Hua Hin. However, at that time I need to be in Bangkok, and I have forgotten how many weeks beforehand a person can apply for a renewal. Could someone please tell me? With thanks.

I also used Siam Legal, just a few months ago, after reading a recommendation on the Bangkok local site, and i was very happy with their service. It was fast, efficient, and inexpensive.

Grass is 80% water and the clippings contain valuable minerals so they should be left on the lawn. If the grass is not long, you won't see the clippings after a couple of days. If it is long, just rake the clippings around.

Like CharlieH, I would recommend Briggs & Stratton. We bought one two years ago for less than half of what a Honda costs and it has been excellent.

It is interesting to read that the production of organic eggs might increase as a result of chicken feed and fuel becoming more expensive. I always thought that producing eggs was the more expensive option.,

After reading your message, I used this company and I am very pleased with the service they provided. Thanks for the recommendation.

Setting rents low enough may not be an issue. My wife has two shops there, but she hasn't collected any rent for about two years. People like her reason that you can't ask stallholders to pay anything when their income is so little.

'There is more to this than he letting on' seems to be a standard TV suspicion, but you should check the Consular website, not the British government website.

Yes, there is no alternative. Fortunately, the Bangkok sub-forum has a recommendation for a notary in the north-east of the city, which will be convenient for me when I am there.

I wanted a notarized copy of my passport in order to do some banking business in Britain, but the Consulate has cancelled my appointment on the grounds that they 'are not identity experts.' Hundreds of thousands of people have their identity checked at British ports of entry each week, but the British Consulate cannot find one person capable of saying 'Yes, this passport belongs to the old bloke standing here.'
