  1. I did a lot of research on this before starting to take vitamin D and the majority of experts suggested 1,000IU although I know a lot of people go as high as 5,000IU per day, that said we only need to have a level greater than 30ng/mL and I was 33.31. The above said, I had Omicron and it was like a head cold, did the vitamin D 1,000IU, the Zinc 15mg, the Vitamin C 1,000mg, help, I don't know, but for someone with an underlying condition in their 60's, I am still taking them daily at those doses, however will drop to 500mg of vitamin C when this batch runs out, as they say 500mg is enough. Recommend you get a vitamin D test done, that way you can determine you level and then what amount you should take, then retest yourself a year on.

    Rising damp ?

    Have a newish 6 year old single level blonde brick rendered and painted house and am starting to notice that the paint is blistering and flacking just above the ground, is this rising damp, because it is also at other parts of the house, however is predominantly on the southern exterior wall where it doesn't see the sun and the external, however internal kitchen, if that makes sense, and it's the wall near the fridge only. Anyone experiencing rising damp problems in your houses and how are you treating it. The paint on the external wall (southern & western) is pealing off, as is the kitchen wall near the fridge, I'm assuming this is rising damp ? Feedback appreciated as usual.
  3. My wife buys my Vitamin D3 supplements online from Lazada I believe. The last batch she purchased was in March 2022, 500 tablets x 1,000IU for 754 baht delivered, brand is Healthy Care from Australia. Prior to this we used to buy NAT D online for a little cheaper than our local chemist, who would charge us 420 baht for 60 tablets, so we were paying through the nose so to speak. Now she shops around online until she finds a bargain which includes vitamin C 500mg for cheap as, again Australian brand. You only really need 1,000IU per day, I did a vitamin D blood test and was in the mid 30's which is good, perhaps you should do the same if you haven't already and then you can determine if you need the extra 1,000IU.
  4. Exactly, after all, how was he supposed to contact her ? Everyone knows that couples contact each other every single day when apart, how was he contacting her, what did he do when she wasn't contacting him, I know that if it was me, I would be on my way back there after a few days to see if everything is ok. Guilty by possession.
  5. If you live in a house and have both sisalation and insulation batts in your attic, you can have the aircon on at 26 degrees for 30 minutes, with the fan on speed number 2 from a distance, before bed and then turn the aircon off only, and the fan will keep you cool all night. Do not leave your windows open as this makes the aircon work harder and your wasting $'s on electricity. The way I have described above will stop you being dry and save you $'s while enjoying a good night sleep, also always good to have a bottle of drinking water beside your bed for when you wake up to go to the bathroom, e.g. take a sip, might also look at changing toothpaste brand as I had one that I found out made my mouth dry, therefore I changed brands and use a herbal one.
  6. Sorry to hear that she is having such a horrible experience but I believe the majority of people, like myself and the entire family, and everyone else that I know that has had it, believe it to be similar to a mild flu. That said, I also believe it depends on how the individuals immune system responds, from what I have heard and seen from my wife, age 40 and the other women above 40, they were in bed for 2 days or so, wife would cat nap in the afternoon but still went about her day to day routine, I also believe if you are one of those types of people who eats right, takes your supplements and is active, you will fair better.
  7. Ah solly, but we have already assessed that the situation is no longer a threat, therefore as mask requirement is not law perse, but merely a regulation, most of us have lifted wearing the mask around our village, yes everyone has had a gut full waiting for you lot and hopefully it spreads as did this virus once when people have had enough around the country.
  8. Only if they paid half of that importance on motorcycle riders not wearing helmets, riding unregistered motorcycles, and lacking number plates, cars, trucks also being unregistered and lacking number plates. Might as well sack the entire police force and bring in the army until they replace the police force with one that can do the job that the current lazy f's won't, thus saving at least 20,000 lost soles per year. They could replace their slogan of "up to you" with "we care about you"...lol
  9. I suppose these days it's politically incorrect to use that label, perhaps transgender would be more appropriate, remember Thailand is always playing catch, i.e. they have to work out what it means first ????
  10. Ok, so you came back a month ago as stated and you had a girlfriend for 2 weeks, so that is 6 weeks since you have been back right.....please read on. Am I missing something or is this a dead give away, in other words how does she know the sex of the child, as the earliest you can find out what sex the child is, is 14 weeks through an ultrasound, however most Dr's recommend a scheduled ultrasound between 18-21 weeks and it's still not 100% accurate. Now if my math is correct you would have been with her 2 weeks after you returned here for a month, meaning the kid is not yours, why, because she said it was a he and she can't know that unless it's someone else's because 14 weeks haven't passed to be able to determine the sex of the child. Genius, yes I know, sounds like another scam to me. EDIT: Having read the other posts and your replies to some of them, I note that you said you made a mistake when you said she said it was a he, that said, life as a single father is tough, very tough, been there, done that. What solution do you have, stay a single dad and father your two daughters or confirm that the child with this beauty is actually yours and then decide how it's going to work out. The only way I can see it working out is she moves in and becomes mum to all 3 kids while dad works his ringer off, at least that way, you will have some time to yourself, I mean, after all, how much is an extra mouth and bit cost to feed in Thailand. Wouldn't be talking wedding bells until you see how the move with her is and how your daughters adjust to their new mum, at least that way, if you don't like what you see, you give her the marching orders and she takes the kid, that or you think about jumping off the balcony. Good luck & buy a lottery, just for luck ????
  11. Just to be on the safe side, I will ask at the check out counter when returning to Thailand, i.e. unless I hear it to be more clearer in the coming months, not that I don't trust what your saying Joe, but safer then sorry has always been my moto. Worst case scenario if I get one at the check out counter and complete it and immigration don't require it, all but 5 minutes completing it would have been wasted by me. If immigration on the other hand want it at extension time, well good for me.
  12. I'm going overseas in a few months, so upon return would you suggest that I not complete the TM6 upon entering Thailand. My annual extension will be a month later and I would hate to challenge some IO on this new rule.
