You probably already know that breast cancer screening is being introduced under Thai National Health Service. As you've stated, 40+ is the qualifying age for those who also have immediate family history of breast cancer.
Agree! I've subscribed for over 4 years. Limited countries unfortunately, virtual mobile numbers only available for; US, UK, Australia, Canada, Finland, Mexico and Israel.
Mrs bought three used iPhone 8 Plus's when they were five years old in 2022 for each of us and a friend. She paid 8,000 baht for each. Been superb. However, recently have been unable to install a couple of apps because the operating system is now too old. Fortunately, nothing crucial. iPhone 11 would enable eSIM and 12 5th Generation mobile data.

Be positive. If the rear door wouldn't close then nobody would have been going on that flight. Experience and common sense tells you to make allowance (obviously where possible) for delays and cancellations. A 2,000 baht gift voucher is better than nothing but cash would be preferable for most IMHO.
Wow! You've given me a good idea. Many thanks. My Thai mother-in-laws house has plenty of space to plant trees. Unfortunately, all the family hate the taste of olives. However, I love 'em!
None of those problems with 'Vyke'. Except running the risk one of your banks or other financial institutions wouldn't send you OTP's via SMS. In that situation, if other options were available such as OTP's via push notifications, automated phone call or email then that would appear to be the solution.
Several Thai friends and relatives have died of cancer. All were taken care of in their home by relatives. Same as UK, they received 3 daily visits by district nurses. Unlike the UK they also received one daily visit by a doctor in their end of life stage. We have a family friend who is a nurse at our local community Government Hospital who provides end of life care. He tips us off immediately someone we know has died and we go to their house to pay our respects. There are always pain pumps around, electric pressure relieving mattresses and masses of medication and other medical supplies. Never any suggestion that anyone was left to die alone in pain and of suffocation whilst conscious.
Thanks very much for your info. Most helpful. Like many people have had cancer and leukaemia in the family but treatment has never been possible due to late diagnosis. Blood clot is something I hadn't thought about and will need to keep in mind. India sounds great for investigations! Good to have the backup of NHS treatment in UK. Best wishes for your return to Thailand and fingers crossed for your results in Calcutta!
