The Fugitive

I understand now thanks!

You need to be at least awake when booking! Some deals are pay in full now, others they take the card payment nearer the time and others pay to the hotel when you arrive. Fortunately, always been able to work around any last minute unavoidable changes.

Interesting, mine was on the left. Does that mean I'm susceptible to same again on the right?

I had same (open repair) + mesh in 2000 in U.K. under NHS. All went well AFAIK and no problems since. Not pleasant on a large 'Nightingale' style ward. Guys shouting out random thoughts all night, others saying; 'shut up'. Female nurse yelling; 'show some compassion, he's very ill'. Male nurse (ex parachute regiment) panicking running up and down the ward when a patients drain came out. Definitely worth paying for a private room!

Sounds like a bargain!

Sounds like something I've read concerning step-down transformers for drills etc. on building sites; 110 volts = Won't kill you 220 volts = Might kill you 440 Volts = Will kill you

The info wasn't mine. I don't have iptv myself. I copied it from a historical report (2017 I think) because someone was asking where Pulse TV are based?

Me too. For the last three years. Never failed to connect or unblock. No speed issues, streams everything perfectly for me.

Government regulated to provide treatment in Government hospitals. With a choice of insurance for treatment in private hospitals too. Question would be what happens to tourists who have been reckless e.g. riding hired motos without licence or helmet or taking an alcohol/substance fuelled dive off hotel balconies?

Thanks for your report. Very good to read of such competent service and honest pricing!

Just got back from my dentist. I saw the young general dentist who had previously determined that I needed a root canal, post and crown. He told me that the senior of their two specialist dentists had viewed my X-Ray and determined my tooth was beyond repair. He told me he could pull it now. I told him not to. I have asked for a second opinion from the other specialist dentist in two days time. The fact this was 'sprung' on me (could have advised via a 'phone call prior to my appointment) made me suspect recommending an implant might be next on the agenda?

I was (sort of) joking! Not something I look forward to though. I've already been to this general/specialist High Street practice for a filling and two crowns and all was satisfactory. My Mrs goes there too. Always busy, especially with children. My specialist has a Master's degree for which he had to be proficient in English language (so he told me).

Got me worried now. Off to dentist in 90 minutes for first session of root canal, post and crown, quoted 20,000 baht for repair of broken upper back tooth, root infection showed on XRay.

I would say 'The Fugitive' was exceptionally excellent in it's day and remains a good watch today.

My retirement extension is due end of this month. Makes me question why waste petrol and money on stupid photocopies? Assuming no need to ever exit/reenter Thailand of course.

Cornish pasties can go down rather well too.

Can confirm most definitely! My Thai mother-in-law received better treatment (according to her) at Queen Sirikit Heart Center in Khon Kaen (Government hospital) than she did privately at Bangkok Hospital.

So easily achievable! Don't have to go very far at all from any City to feel that you're miles from anywhere.

Agree on having a liking for 4 seasons. However, post retirement age I experience pain in my extremeties during U.K. Winter. No pain whatsoever whilst in Thailand.

Totally agree! Khon Kaen has great Government and private hospital choices. University dental hospital is great too according to reports although I haven't been treated there myself as yet. I live 60km South of the City. Convenient for rail and coach travel. No smoke problems during the six year's I've lived here.

Left my house in the East Midlands (U.K.) unoccupied and locked up for six year's. Of course turned off electricity at the consumer unit, mains gas at the meter and water at the stop tap. Left kitchen sink and bathroom taps on to drain cold water tank. Couldn't get through the front door for post. No damp/mold and, amazingly, very little dust. There were piles of insects wrapped up by spiders in all corners. I've left the spiders and their webs alone because they're doing such a good job!

That's the reality for many I'm afraid. My Visa Agent told me that the majority of her clients are Brits receiving Government pension only. The increased (new) pension effective from 2016 is, today, a shade under 40,000 baht per calendar month. Don't even want to think about what will happen to these guys in the case of serious illness or accidents.

Absolute heaven. Egg and chips are too. However, nothing beats cheese and onion pie, apple pie (or maybe crumble) and custard for dessert.
