there is a you tube review of the canon bulk tank printer and referred to the waste part as a printer potty and complained about resetting it after it got loaded and needed emptying

Most of us I guess have seen them with bottles of ink fixed to the sides and thin latex pipes . Anyone any experience.

I remember years ago in bkk for the first time and entering that huge IT place near Pratunam . Amongst the the endless stall holders selling motherboards were folks selling reasonably priced software. I was in Korat and old it building looks like it is on its last legs. Do any of these places still exist. I am looking for a copy of Office. Yes I have seen the deals on ebay. I object to paying for a 365 subs considering how little I use it. any thoughts

yes indeed i remember something similar on one the islands. The aircon and the shower connected.

just another battle with the builder

I forgot add WHY do they have this annoying habit of putting bathroom sinks outside the bath room

I visit LOS 3 times a year and contemplating building a modest property. I am keen to supervise construction and design. Many issues come to mind. The first time I visited LOS was err many moons ago. One uk pound bought 75 b . I remember staying in Kheo san road and being confronted with a modest room and no hot water. Times moved on and realised shower heaters exist. But I cannot understand why I have to shave in a sink and they never have hot water. Have I missed something. I thought I saw some sort of in line heater in global house a while back. Any comments . Similar thought exist for the kitchen sink.

Is there such a thing as online comparison sites ?

sorry not much of a post but has KFC stopped selling those lovely ice creams

Ah the steam thing, its fairly new as I understand. Still invasive although where does the invasion takes place I ask as if I cannot work it out. .

Friends I have a problem shared by many I think . My prostrate is getting a little large and causing issues and squeezing the pipe. We are talking about what I think is known as BPH. My UK doctor has put me on medication but it is not as effective as I would like. Waiting lists for surgery are probably long. Has anyone had surgery had surgery for this in Thailand. Was it successful. Would anyone care to shares any comments. Dare I ask if it effected performance in the bedroom ?

Also implants need lots of visits.

You are as i understand it in the US. Have you considered traveling south of the border. ?? A lot of dental establishments claim they do implants. If your doing implants get implants that are also available in the US. Implants need the tools to fit and REMOVE them. Dentists are sometimes reluctant to discuss which brands they use. Check that you are suitable. You will need a CT scan. The lower jaw has a thing called the radial nerve which if disturbed will leave you with a numb feeling on lower face.

Thank you all

I visit LOS about 3/4 times a year and this is my plan going into my golden years. Not sure I can live in thailand full time. Issue if getting a sim that lasts instead of buying a new one every time I arrive. I did think of buying one of the annual data packages. Any thouhts comments

Cannot comment on that clinic but good physios are worth their weight in gold IMHO. You need to do the exercises and take the meds. A lot of folk use TENS devices . Transcutaneous_electrical_nerve_stimulation

Just read this. I was at a trade show in the uk recently . Speaking to the reps on the MK stand. Mk are owned by Honeywell. They are as I understand it about to market a single width RCBO with double pole as a type A. Made in China BTW Remember Schneider manufacture type a rcbos in Thailand. Can you buy them in the land of smiles. ???? 5555

Just had a look at toeic scores . 500 is very basic. Surprised at that. BTW I was talking to a dentist at St Marys hospital in Korat recently. She was telling me that she wanted her 2 year old daughter to go to an international school. We both agreed that language learning needs to start young. In my case the lady is 16 and i suspect writes better than speaks . Lacking in confidence IMHO.

YES thanks to all particularly "Kingston Kid" for his detailed pm. Interesting the comment about toeic scores.

All of the above my view is that she needs to mix with english speakers once she gets started Sadly the little town where she lives might be a challenge.

She is keen. So question, independent tutors ? native or thai ?? .

check out the mother first

Hello all , As above I have agreed to sponsor a 16 yr old doing some English learning. Her school are errr let us say ineffective. She live about 30 mins drive up route 2 so not far from Korat. Her mother looked at the Shaneenglish school. Anyone aware of any decent tutors or classes. Even getting her started would help. Any thoughts pls

Thank you to all. Can I just say the local land office were friendly/relaxed/helpful.

i am still trying to investigate this but I am looking for some guidance on insulating walls. The rough idea is that downstairs is fairly cool . So creating some sort of convection current and through the existing roof. maybe look at using rotating roof cowls
