It may not be worth repairing a microwave oven. But if you want to make sure take it to Amorn outside the east moat. They have a large repair center and for 100-200 baht they will look it over.

Can someone recommend a doctor who has some knowledge of male hormone replacement? I would much prefer a doctor as opposed to a hospital. South side of Chiang Mai is good, but any location will work. Thanks.

Thanks...anything more specific I can search for? A general search unearths place in India and far away lands, which won't work for me. Facebook searches are not that great anyway.

I only have the tape - haven't had a player for a long time. It's just one tape I want to convert to DVD, and it will be infinitely better to have someone do it than to get into it myself. A little expense is tolerable. Anyone know a shop in Chiang Mai?

Is there a service in Chiang Mai that will convert a VCR tape to a DVD? Appreciate info if anyone knows.

Sheryl has said that she knows (knew? unless she is a medium) several people for whom the service was provided. She does not mention any problems with the provided service, and her tone towards the company is positive. Do you have a reason for casting doubts on the company? Or is that how you normally feel towards life? If you have a real reason, please state it. If not, then stop displaying your inner vitriol and let people avail of a service that can be very useful.

Thanks for some useful replies. To Jak - do you know if Hang Dong is an orange growing area? It seems like in Thailand almost anything will grow anywhere.

Do they have a Chiang Mai presence that you know of? Or do we deal only with Australia?

I called True, they have a data package, but I need to be able to call also, and link my Google number to the phone number. They don't seem to have anything. And to use my Google number I need internet service, for which I need a SIM. Easiest option is to buy a SIM from T-Mobile when I am there. Don't use ATT. They are messed up. Or if your phone accepts eSIMs you can buy a package from Google or another provider.

I have a small, young, Thai orange tree - maybe too small to call it a tree as of now! It does get a few fruit, but the problem is the skin, or rind, of the orange splits before it ripens. Anyone here can suggest what the problem may be? This is in the Hang Dong area of Chiang Mai.

Your comment didn't really deal with my question, but thanks for some feedback. However it did raise another question: did the stress test include ultrasound imagery before and after the exercise?

Does anyone have experience of the cardiology department at McCormick? Perhaps of what's known as interventional cardiology? I am looking for the name of a doctor I can specifically ask for and consult with, rather than just depending on the luck of the draw. If a few people are happy with their cardiologist at McCormick can they perhaps post his/her name here? Thanks.

And yet every single one of their doctors goes to the U. S. A. to get trained. Funny.

Well, why not buy from Mazuma then? It's less than what you are paying. My filter looks similar to yours, and for 20 liters carbon Mazuma wants 2070 baht - less than what you have been paying. And don't forget, if you buy from Lazada you will have to pay a hefty shipping charge.

Thanks. For now I have scheduled Mazuma technicians because for the first year they won't charge for labor (700-800 baht). I will observe them and decide if I can handle it myself next time. There seems to be just one Dohome in Chiang Mai, and it is some distance away. You just ask them for water filter carbon? About what does it cost - Mazuma said my filter needs 20 liters.

I have a Mazuma house water filter that needs an annual carbon filter change. Is the only option to use the factory service, or are there independent shops that can do it? If there are shops (not like Homepro, they use the factory) which ones?

Thanks for the recipe...can you perhaps elaborate a bit? Have you been using this, and the reason for it? How does it compare with commercial detergent, and the effect on clothes? How much to use?

Tried it... Doesn't work for me.

Anyone come across a no-perfume laundry detergent that is made in Thailand? Seventh Generation was excellent, but it hasn't been in stores for a long time now. The only product I can find is an American brand sold in one store, but I'd prefer to use something that has not been shipped across the seven seas. I have tried the so-called Baby detergents - the ones I tried were all loaded with irritating perfume.

People interested in low cost cataract surgery may want to look into the package offered by Princ Hospital in Lamphun. I was at a Chiang Mai fair recently and came across their booth. They are charging 16500 baht per eye for cataract surgery, which compares very favorably with about 60000 baht at Sriphat, or even more at some hospitals. They use the same lens as others - I asked and they mentioned Johnson & Johnson, and a couple of others. However, I have no idea about the equipment they have or the expertise of their doctors. Anyone wishing to go there needs to investigate on their own. They have an International Marketing department so that's one place to start.

Yes, I know these sites. Both have 35.16 now - with a 0 foreign transaction fee.

https://usa.visa.com/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html This is giving 35.16 - try it. That is not the Visa rate now. http://www.vasuexchange.com/index.php For the "regular" exchange rate, not the Visa-set rate. I have been using these sites for years, so I am aware of the transaction fees and all that. And I know 35.16 is not the Visa rate because I did a transaction and calculated yesterday (rate does not change over weekend). Thanks for everyone's replies - let's hope we can figure out what is going on!

What is going on with the sites that calculate the USD - Baht exchange rate that Visa has set for the day? I have been getting a higher rate than what actually exists. For instance, right now (Dec 19) it is stating 35.16, when the actual rate you get is much lower than that. Is there a reliable site I can use for this purpose?

Any good apps out there for watching movies with an Android box? The ones I have used in the past do not exist any more, so searching for some new ones. Sites for U.S. live TV will also be helpful.

The "T" portion of ENT, throat. Though it could be one of the ones you mentioned. Not sure. Appreciate the response, and look forward to some names. As an aside, the Chiang Mai forum has a list of medical specialists, but it has not been updated for a long time. These names that come up when people ask - can't they be added to that list?
