Just checked my records. This month this year, 5401 Baht; last month this year, 3689 = UP 46%, This month this year, 5401, compared to the same month last year, 3884 = UP 39%. So, far from doubled. We have 4 a/c units: two of which are inverters.

April 17 5:30 p.m. -- Sukhothai AQI 159.

I was there two months ago to document a change to my new passport. Waited hours and had to come back the next day. I talked with one fellow in the nearby coffee shop: He said he came at 7:30 and that there were already a hundred people in the queue.

Lazada -- no contest.

In the first photo above, almost ALL of northwest Thailand is on fire. Perhaps it is not just the neighbours!

Agreed. Been there, done that. Works a charm. Sometimes have to order two different sizes, hoping that one is correct; then order more of the correct one! I once had a Pattaya tailor make three pairs of slacks (I want to say "pants," but the Brits go nuts if I do). Had to go back FOUR times for "adjustments." Never did fit properly--a waste of money.

This is correct, but the prices are much higher than buying from Lazada. We have bought 3 Xiaomi units and numerous filters for them from Lazada. All 3 purifiers are running and doing a good job after three years of use.

If the elbow pain is on the side of the elbow closest to the body, it is "golfer's elbow" (medial epicondylitis). If the pain is on the side of the elbow away from the body, it is "tennis elbow" (lateral epicondylitis). If have medial epicondylitis of the elbow and find that wet heat (aka hottish shower) on the affected area helps (better than the dry heat of a heating pad). I used to use Arcoxia, but now, if needed, I use Atulox, which is exactly the same as Arcoxia, but half the price: both products are Etoricoxib. I buy Atulox at the Pattaya pharmacies with the distinctive orange colour. (not sure I'm allowed to name the pharmacy chain) My orthopedist advises to use no longer than 5 days in a row, one tablet per day. Available dosages are 60, 90. and 120 mg. Be sure to read Sheryl's cautions in her above posts: If you use Etoricoxib, use with caution. I second Sheryl's advice regarding the use of Ibuprofen as well. Note, however, that ibuprofen and etoricoxib should NOT be taken together; use one or the other! My situation is more chronic; I don't expect to ever be completely pain-free, but lowering the pain works for me!
