Does anyone know if there is a dog rehoming / rescue centre in Nan? Thanks, Joe

3NUMBAS, thank you. Please excuse my appalling ignorance but can you further explain how the inflation rate falling in the UK accounts for the strengthening of the baht in Thailand? Thanks, Joe

Polar Bear, thank you for your reply. I'm not sure that your assertion regarding MF is valid and given recent events it looks (to me) that MF is unlikely to be anything but a coalition partner should a new non-military government be formed. That surely exacerbates the situation and doesn't decrease the instaility. I'm happy to admit that my knowledge of economics on this scale is sketchy to say the least. So I'm happy to look at this as a learning process. Again, thanks, Joe

Can anybody explain why the pound sterling (and other currencies) are losing ground against the baht? It was only a few months ago in the UK that the pound sterling decreased in value when the Prime Ministerial merry-go-round (with Johnson resigning, followed quickly by Truss and ending up with Sunak in office), was in full swing. The wise economic minds said at the time that the fall in value of the pound sterling was mostly because the markets really didn't like 'political instability'. So, why isn't the same true of the baht? How can it be gaining stength with the current political turmoil in Thailand (that can't be resolved for at least another week)? Don't the same rules apply? I'm mystified and I'd really appreciate sensible responses. Thanks, Joe

Wait! You mean people still smoke cigarettes? Unbelievable! It must be terrible to be a junkie and addicted. Joe

If the vax doses were under a towel, how did you get Lot/serial number and why didn't you check the maker? Also where / how did you check via Google? You say you don't want to "think bad" but you're happy to start a thread "thinking bad" anyway! I had my Pfizer shots at McCormick a few weeks ago. On the trolley full of vax doses, I could clearly see that they were clearly labelled "Pfizer". I call BS troll post. Joe

But you are happy to waste your time responding!

Far too much personal information! But thanks for the useful hints. Joe

Thanks, I Googled android set top boxes as you suggested. Not very helpful, although I did read a couple of reviews (but I don't know if those android boxes are available in Thailand, so not much use). Also I saw an ad for a Lazada android box. Thanks for trying to help but on this occasion Google wasn't my friend. What would really help would be a response or responses from someone with personal experience. Regards, Joe

I've read a thread on another social media platform (CMNIE) that says the FOX films and sports channels that are currently part of TrueVision's package(s) and will stop being broadcast from October 2021 It seems that Fox is wholly owned by Disney and that these channels will only be available via Disney+. I have no idea if Truevision broadcast Disney+ but when I checked the Platinum and Gold packages, the Fox channels were still being advertised! I don't know if there's a similar service but I remember a couple of years ago and as an alternative to TrueVision, different types of "android boxes" were being touted here. Does anyone know, are they still available? Do they still work? If they're OK, does anyone know who supplies them, how much they cost and who installs and maintains them and if the computer link need to be regularly updated? Or indeed if there's any other alternative> I'd be really grateful for any sensible advice. Regards, Joe

Sorry to hear you are in pain but seeking advice on clinical matters on this forum really is fraught with danger. Perhaps you should consider going back to the hospital for a second consultation or going to a different hospital for a second opinion. Regards, Joe

You don't say which guitar shop you used originally, but 2 that I can recommend are Maximum Sound in Changklan road (opposite Chiang Mai Land) and / or Green Music at Chiang Mai Gate. You can Google them for directions etc. But you really don't need to go to a guitar shop to set up your guitar correctly and doing it yourself (even as a beginner) is relatively simple. The attached Youtube video explains everything in easy-to-understand language.
