  1. I have a Teclast T20 tablet and very happy with it for 14 months. However, for over a week now it will not fully charge even overnight turned off. I left it overnight and the charge was only 49%. I have also tried different charge cables/plugs to no avail.

    I took it to Zeer Rangsit and the repair kiosks did not have a new battery or even want to open it to see if the USB connection was loose. In hindsight I should have asked the kiosk if they have a USB power meter which I will do when I go back

    In the meantime, has anyone else with a T20 had the same issue?

    Thank you for any feedback.

    Anybody know a good, compassionate, reasonably priced breast surgeon? Thanks. 

    My wife also was diagnosed with breast cancer and the hospital told us to go for a mastectomy n a  private hospital as their waiting list was too long.

    .We went to a private hospital but were unhappy with their attitude.

     

    We ended up going to Princess Chulabhorn hospital (l think this hospital is dedicated to cancer research and treatment) in BKK and found it excellent from staff to doctors. Everything was explained in both Thai and English and questions answered.

    We needed to register with this hospital as as we live in a different area of BKK, we met other cancer patients who traveled from all parts of Thailand for treatment here.

    My wife did not have a mastectomy only surgery and the required chemo etc.

     

    I definitely think it is worth looking into.

    Best of luck to you all.

    Don't understand you NOT wanting to add a couple of teaspoons of baking powder to your plain flour. Much easier.

    A "couple of teaspoons of baking powder" to plain flour  to make dumplings? I have only 1 packet as stated.

    Do you NOT read requests?

  4. I finally got some Atora suet from the UK as friends visited. However I cannot find self raising flour near me in Sai-Mai BKk.

     I tried Foodland, big Tesco superstore, big C, Villa (smallish one on Ramintra) and local bakery supplier near my market...all to no avail.

     

    Has anyone seen it downtown?

    Sorry I do not want to start adding baking powder etc as l only have 1 box.

    Desperate to make mince n dumplings.

    Something like this would do and definitely consider the cordless hedge trimmer but don't buy cheap...

    Thanks, I checked locally for this type but could only see Husqavarna similar for 5000 Thb. I will cast my net larger tomorrow.

    All depends on what you have to cut. I bought an electric as I only have a small hedge but it didn't last long. It was a Makita if I recall correctly.

    So I bought a 2 stroke petrol one from Lazada TH and only wish I'd bought it in the first case. I highly recommend this.     Kanto KT-TRIM 

    Thank lvor, 

    I found one on lazada https://www.lazada.co.th/products/hedge-trimmer-2-085-i245580560-s378113782.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.2.5718767dMv2qgC&search=1

    I have about 14m of waist high hedge and 18m of 10ft hedge so not sure if its overkill.

     

    Quick question also, I am left handed so does that make a difference with the grip do you know?

    I have had both electric and petrol in the past, admittedly for a longer garden and realised that the electric cable is very prone to problems.

    If you start extending it into further extension cables the resistance or current gets so low the machine stops working.

    Accidentally slicing your cables can happen as can abrasion dragging the cable over a rough surface.

     

    I had a small 1.5hp briggs and stratton for years, like a tank, used an egg cup of petrol, very convenient. If I bought a petrol today i would get a Honda no question.

    Hedgetrimmer, did you check the cordless ones, even more likely to slice a cable doing a hedge.

    Thanks eye catcher, I have less than 100m square, my guesstimate of 170 was way off.

    Apologies.

  8. I need to buy a lawnmower and a hedge trimmer and looking for advice please. (I have read the other threads on this topic but they are closed for further posts or for vast lawn size)

     

    We have a small lawned area of about 170m square.

    I would prefer an electric lawn mower if possible with a grass catcher.

    Not a huge machine also as storage is a bit tight.

    Also, are the electric hedge trimmers worth the cost?

     

    I have seen some on home pro and lazada and wonder if anyone has bought one recently.  I budgeted around 4,000 Thb.

    Any recommendations greatly received.

    Many thanks.

    If you are anywhere near Lad Prao, you might try Chai Ka Pak Kai (ชายคาพักกาย) on Lad Prao 83.

    I went there with some Thai friends a few years ago and it was very similar Tawandang.  If you choose it though, leave early.  With the skytrain extension going on, the traffic is terrible.

     

     

    Thanks for the info, looks ideal. Thanks again.
