    Where can I look at colors for my interior walls?

    in DIY Forum

    I like the idea of buy a can of the white primer and paint a few walls in the various rooms you will paint and then buy a few small cans like a quart and mix a color you like to try. Get several of the color choices and paint the walls you want to see and you will get a good idea what you like and want. Should not be too expensive an experiment and you will get to see in the room the actual color. Then have fun painting

    I'm going to send my filtered water to them again to have it tested to see how it is after the filter process.   I've been looking for sterile containers online, but can't find any larger enough to send them 3L.

    Any idea how I could sterilize water bottles myself and not leave any contamination?   Wash them out with pure alcohol and leave in the sun for it to evaporate?

    i would use a hydrogen peroxide solution or chlorine solution.

    Microwave?

    If you haven't felt the need for one for this long a time, once the novelty wears off, you'll probably find yourselves using it mostly for warming leftovers.  You can soften frozen meat and poultry but do it a bit to long and it can steam the meat and give it an off taste,  If you have the space and budget, why not?   If you don't get one, you probably won't miss it.  Get the lowest price known brand. No need for any bells and whistles, people rarely use them.

    If you do get one, put some thought into placement.  Many are installed too high in cabinets or set atop refrigerators creating a hazard for somebody reaching up to take out a hot dish or bowl.   A friends son got badly scalded on his upper body that way when a bowl of heated soup was hotter than expected.

    I second these comments. If you made it this long without it , you will get by. My wife never used one when we met 15 years ago. I already had one and she experimented using it over the years but now she just uses it for heat leftovers and make hot water quick. Don't take up the space if you can live without it.

    At the Bangkok Bank I can transfer from my foreign currency account to my Baht account there online. I never checked if other options are available. 

    Yes, I have a USD account and can move USD to my baht account using internet banking. Only during business hours 9-4:30 Monday to Friday. None on weekends. And I cannot transfer funds using the mobile banking app.

    What type of box to connect from wifi to smart tv ?

    Gimo, you need a lot more help then you will get from this forum. If you are really as "unsavy" as you say. Everyone here is going to confuse you with many different ideas and terms and it will just confuse you more. You need to find a local person that already has a "box"  and go see what they have and how they do it. Or get to a local IT store on your next trip to the big city. If you have computer and internet skills even basic skills then researching the internet for IPTV and all related info is where you need to start.  If you try to get the easy answer here you will just get overwhelmed. 

    Recommend @ iptv service

    What makes PulseTV so special? Any local Thailand users have PulseTV and use you own device? Do you use a PC and a browser connection or another set top box? Please explain how it works for you and the buffering issues you may experience. Most of these services have issues with channels buffering and dropping out What makes Pulse better?

    I have lived in Thailand for the past 15plus years. Came in 2005 went out once in 2006 and since I have not left the country. I am a retired 22 years USAF person. I do not have any VA qualified issues so I cannot use FMP. I have been using Tricare Overseas Program all these years. Since 2016 wehn I had neck and tongue cancer Tricare has saved me from going broke as it is my only insurance to cover me. Tricare requires that a retired military person belongs to Medicare  and pays the costs of Medicare to be able to use Tricare Overseas.

    A person like me can go to any hospital or doctor and get treatment here but the invoice must be paid up front and then the member must file a claim for reimbursement at a rate of 75% for covered treatments and 25% copay. When the max out of pocket is reached before the end of a calendar year Tricare will pay back 100% of an invoice. Back 15 years ago several hospitals would agree to accept a person as an IPD patient and that hospital would accept 25 % paid up front and they would agree to file a claim direct to Tricare for the 75%. To date I am not sure how many hospitals will agree to this payment process any longer as there were to many people trying to game the system and the hospitals got burned so they stopped doing the 25/75 deal for IPD patients. As far as I know BPH is the only one that contiues to allow this payment deal. I have used that at least 4 times now. BNH did have the plan but since Covid they stopped as it was too much work for them to file the claims to Tricare and wait 3 or 4 months for the money. Bangkok Med Center had the plan a long time ago and got burned very bad and now they hear the word Tricare and will not even talk about using IPD scheme.

    Anyone with Tricare Overseas  or other Tricare cover can use a hospital or doctor here in Thailand and file a claim for OPD services and get reimbursed the 75% of the invoice with the proper paperwork sent to Tricare. So far this I have filed at least 20 claims and been paid for all at the 75% return. I have reached my max cap so now all claims till Dec 31 are paid at 100 %.

     

    Hope his helps some and I did not confuse too many folks. But as said before any VFW post service officer can help you they do not require a person be a Post member to get help

    I am trying to set up an appointment with Dr Santa, I am waiting for a reply, he is not full time at BPH only a couple of days a week.

    Yes, Dr Santa is at BPH only Sundays and I think at Jomtein on Thursday but not sure on that. I believe he comes from Bangkok on those days
