I'm having a implant done at the Bangkok hospital in pattaya. I pick the bangkok after looking at 4 or 5 other places I saw here on this site. You want a titanium implant,but you must always expect to get a bone graft also. If someone tells no bone graft needed I would run out of that office. The bone graft should also take 6 months to heal before the implant is done.

What you write here is nonsense. Bone graft is often only for old people, smokers or people with some other complication.

Personally I think you should have gone with Sri Racha. I had researched her experience before I had mine done, perhaps five years ago and she has done many more since then. In Bangkok Pattaya you will pay for every extra. Notwithstanding, as long as you get a good result and you are happy, it matters not. It's only money and it was your choice.

Further to your statement, this from Colgate;

Oral Care Specific to IMPLANTS

If you are considering implants, you must have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. If your bone is too thin or soft and unable to support an implant, you may require a bone graft. Or if there is not enough bone height in the upper jaw or the sinuses are too close to the jaw, you may require a sinus lift.

So, double check before you quote any old rubbish that you are told.

No, Sorry....you can see many bone grafts done on people done on people of all ages. Before I left american talking with my dentist he told me why dentist do a bone graft at the same time they pull the tooth. Pulling the tooth itself weakens the outside wall of the bone and over time without a bone graft the bone on the outside would only be weaker over time. Dentist in america don't do the bone graft they would send you to a oral surgeon. I success rate of going a bone graft before the implant is way greater then without it. Ever in american we have dentist advertisiting impants done in one day to find out the implant not lasting a year. I did my research even before leaving america. You can youtube implants and bone grafts. So, I paid one price at bangkok hospital and no extra's added on. So,you are wrong on that.

Hi - is this still for sale ans if so what year is it?

Thanks Alex

Sorry,Alex...I have allready sold the bike.

I got my teeth whitening done at Bangkok Hospital. Yes, I could have paid way less money. I maybe when to 4 other places before picking Bangkok hospital. Bangkok hospital doesn't cut corners like the others would have. Youtube teeth whitening so you can see the way it's done. So,you know what to expected before you walk into the office. First,get your teeth cleaned and wait at less a week before going back to have them whiten. If someone tell's you they can clean and then whiten your teeth that should be a red flag to me. I paid 9,000 baht at bangkok hospital. It turn out great!.

It's about the connections running from thailand to rest of the world. Yes.thailand does know need more lines,but they really care if you connect with the world outside thailand?.

I am asking for 97,000 baht for the bike. Sorry,I forgot to put that in the ad.

I have a red honda forza 300 for sale. The bike is in excellent shape. I have added a custom seat and alarm to it. It has 4,100 KM on it. The only reason I am selling it is because I will be moving back to the US. The bike is in pattaya.

I really like my thai bedframe and thinking of shipping it to the US. Do you ship single items or do you rent a container and then pay for that shipping container?.

This Honda does sell this excat PCX 150 in the US,but I'm sure the speedo is in miles. Have anyone tried shipping a bike from thailand to the US?.

Will I have any problems with america trying to ship my Honda PCX 150 back Nevada. Can anyone also tell what I can expect to pay?. Do you rent a shipping container and it's your to fill? I have a bed frame that I would like to ship back with my PCX150 motorbike.

I'm in pattaya and sign-up with True. I'm almost at the one of my one year contract with True. I can tell you that my start with True was a horror story. I couldn't kept on connection going for more then a few hours before it quit. Now, I called and called and the tech came out maybe 12 times. What help was I started emailing with True in bangkok. Then my problem got fixed. I still lose a connection maybe every 2 months for about 4 to 6 hours,but it comes back after that. I get 50/3 all the time on a speed test. I use PureVPN to access all things back in the US and it works pretty good. I pay around 3,200th a month for TV,internet,and cellphone.

You can operate more than 1 account if you have more than 1 email address. Don't know about paypal linked to Thai account.

Yes, my Kasikorn savings account is linked to my PP account. You can withdraw money from your PP account directly into your Thai account, but it takes 5 to 7 days. However you cannot, in Thailand, upload money from your bank account or debit card into your PP account.

Yes, I found out also when I opened up a paypal account here in thailand. Paypal doesn't allow you to upload from your Thai bank account to your thai paypal account,but I just transfer funds from my american paypal account to my thai paypal account. I talked with Paypal about this and they told me I wasn't breaking and rules transfering funds this way and even gave me a $20.00 gift into my thai paypal account.

I have a friend back in america shipping me their Samsung Tablet S and they ship it UPS service. They ship it UPS because it was $100.00 less then DHL. I hear that custom's allows laptops to be shiped into thailand for free. If not can anybody tell me what I can expect to pay in customs fee's for a 6 month old tablet coming into thailand. I think these tablets go for $600.00 new in thailand.

Just ask them to order in the 32 gig for you. other than that not sure in Pattaya but i would be searching Siam Paragon or Central World in Bangkok. Im sure you will find one there, so many outlets in the area.

SGX, that's the first thing I ask them to order and all I got was a "no"cann't order. . I would rather ask if anyone has seen one first before having to travel to BKK to find the same answer: don't have.

I'm in pattaya and I havn't been able to find the Samsung Tab S 32GB . I've only seen the 16GB selling in pattaya. Do they sell the 32GB in Bangkok?

The best anyone can hope for in a politician is someone whose self-interest includes our own. I am a swing voter, politically neutral, but I am not marching in lock-step with a crowd who has their best interests exclusive to the best interests of the public.

The British and Australians have subsidized health care, why not the US? Why not? Money is more important than lives.

A Republican Senator I respect very much summed up his side very well: "Democrats see health care as a right. Republicans see it as a privilege."

I do not agree on this point whatsoever.

At least we could get a bed before the Government stuck it's nose in the Health Care System.....now my rates have tripled along with my out of pocket costs having quadrupled. We went from having 1st class health care to no class health care.

The health and medical programs in Obamacare are provided by the proprietary insurance companies who present competitive pricing based on market supply and demand. Subscribers of Obamacare use the private medical care infrastructure of the country.

The role of the government under Obamacare is to provide some subsidy to the lowest income Americans who are also most of the uninsured Americans, and to coordinate and consolidate the laws of health insurance and medical care. Obamacare is not a single payer system, not at all and not by a long shot.

This is in contrast to the Department of Veterans Affairs health and medical care system which is owned and operated 100% entirely and completely by the federal government to include 152 hospital medical centers and 1400 outpatient clinics in 23 administrative regions throughout the United States. This is a 100% taxpayer supported system.

The feds own and operate all the Veterans medical care system of hospitals, clinics, sub-clinics, hire and pay all the doctors and medical personnel, pay for all procedures and all medications etc etc. Veterans don't pay a dime of insurance for this system nor do veterans pay anything out of pocket. You walk in, present your card, and get 100% serviced.

Obamacare is the opposite of this and the Supremes know it. Now you know it too.

Wrong Publicus on the point of Vet's not paying anything out of pocket. I'm a Vet and have been using the VA health care system close to 20 years. If you were wounded in combat then you could get anything in the future taken for free if it was do to that wound. I paid a office fee for each visit I when into to see a doctor and also paid a co-fee on drugs. I stop paying into the companies health care plan after sad experiences using it.

Your point on the ACA "provide some subsidy to the lowest income Americans who are also most of the uninsured Americans" is spot on. It's sad to see that around 50% of bankruptcies in the US are over healthcare and this is before Obama toke office. I cann't tell how many of my co workers as they got older wondering if and when they got sick could they afford to pay their medical bills.

Update to my story. I got a call and at the same time a tech showed up at my place and they are going to replace the cable from the pole to my place. It's a start in the right direction.

Just as FYI. I just checked my Signal Level and Signal Quality on my TrueVisions cable box and got a Signal Level of 85% and Quality Level of 100%.

And the cable modem DownStream Power is 10.6dbmV and UpStream Power 48.7dbmV.

yes, that's about what I see when it's running good also. Internet Router is hangup now....LoL

Oh, and now I see that the data on that first graphic isn't correlated correctly (first graphic element and text are the same, second graphic element and text represent different data points).

Yea, I was going to ask if your Internet was delivered over the same cable, and if it failed along site the Cable Set-Top-Box.

It really seems like it's external to your building.

IF/RF interference, bad delivery medium ... something 'external' to you.

Keep a log, and keep complaining.

It's one cable coming inside giving both your TV and internet. So,thats why you see them go down at the same time. A thai teaher I know called in to see if they would let me out of my contract if they couldn't fix in the next couple of weeks....they told her"No". I'm just trying to get my internet to a point that it's stable for 5 to 6 hours. I can live without the TV service until 8 months from now when the contract is over.

When one channel goes out, do ALL the channels go out?

The image shows a "Signal Level" of 69%, and a "BER" (bit error rate) of 5%.

The next image is reporting "No Signal Available", meaning either there is no 'RF Signal being received, or no Digital Signal being detected)

69% and few errors look good to me. But these images aren't giving the best of diagnostics information.

Normally with Digital Signaling, we want to know the several things to see where the issue is actually located.

RF Quality: Power / (dBmV)

Signal Intensity or SNR

Digital signal Power (dBmV)

Digital Signal Quality, SNR, or

Errors (corrected/uncorrected) nn/nn

(%) percentages can also be displayed if a predictable range of operations (bad to good) is known

Were these images taken of 'their' test equipment? Connected inside your residents, or outside?

All Channels go out and sometimes the internet router which is theirs will go down at the same time. The Signal Quality should be at 90 to 100% thats stright from their mouths not mine. When all things are running good you want to see both of these counters at 80 to 100% and that what I see when everything is running good. They won't tell whats on their test units. I will email and call again tonight and the same tech will come out again,but he won't come inside my unit any longer because the thia property owner that told me to go with True bitch at him for a long time fix it.

The reason I was asking all the questions was an attempt to see if the 'issue' was external to your residence.

As you've stated that True has replaced the feed cable and digital set-top-box several times then all that's left is 'outside'.

A pole-mounted connection point, an amplifier/distribution switch, 'something' other than what's inside your building but on 'their' end.

I would take a trusted translator and start asking people in the area if they're experiencing any similar issues.

Keep a log of all the Date/Time/Duration of the events and escalate a trouble ticked to a supervisor or manager.

Rich,

I will put a printscreen of what there box reports coming from their side. So,that's external to my side. If you see the post I've put up. Yes,someone else had this same problem with just his internet that lives about 50 yards from me. Supervisors keep sending same guy out and he doesn't want to replace anything or is told not to replace anything up in the poles. As you will see in the printscreen signal quality is almost "0"

You have probable already checked this, but whenever I have had a similar problem, it is usually a loose connection at the back of the box or the RF joints need tightening.

While this might be true, I would start with a broader diagnostic test.

Are ALL channels showing No Signal?

It True only delivering Digital Channels, or are there also some Analog Channels still available?

If so, can these Analog Channels be seen when the Cable is connected directly to a TV tuner input?

If you have a Volt Meter, does the cable measure power?

Does the issue, "No Signal Available", come and go, if so does it do it intermittently or is there a pattern?

Does anyone else near you subscribing to the service have similar issues?

Have you tried 'escalating' the issue to a 'manager' at True?

Is it possible (or desirable) to convert the contract to a Ku-band Satellite subscription???

Would True, You, and the building you're in allow it?

As the OP has already stated, it's probably easier to have the contract terminated. Unless the service has 100% uptime, he'll be dealing with the same 'True techs' to resolve issues and it appears the True Techs believe the issue is him.

You must understand that the tech's been at my place replacing everything....the box 3 times,cable inside twice. Today is his 8th visit. Right,now as I am typing I just lost the TV signal again. True doesn't have the techs or doesn't want to spend the money to fix this issue. I put up this post to see if anyone else has run into this problem and if the only way out of it was to go to a other company. I stuck in a one year contract at over 3,000 baht a month. One person that had true close to me was able to quit them because he put service in a thai's name and was able to quit it after a month. True will not let me out of the contract. I can get 3BB into my place at a cost of 800baht of month. I feel at this time I will call true everyday and have the tech come out until they give up or I die.

P.S. True tech has seen the troblem for myself many times
