Heavy rain  now in CM Suthep.

Is it possible to travel through Samut Songkhram on either Route 4 coming via Nakhorn Pathom, or by coming down the multi carriage highway through Bangkok at this time ?

john

I normally see at least one a week around town.

They are conventional 2 wheel bikes with a local conversion done.

I will ask the Thai guy who looks after my bikes/scooter where these conversions get done.

john

As far as I can see Prachuap is not in lockdown but to reach there it is necessary to go through provinces at the max lockdown which as I understand is not allowed.

Nice quiet town the Provincial City, I go to Hua Hin of a Sunday to shop at Villa, who stock the products I like.

john

Well having lived in CM for the last 17 years I think I know about the burning season.

Upset all the Doris have I, Bad boy.

Normally a month to six weeks of bad air so Prachuap suits me.

Chernobyl and China eeh eeh, Go home and support Donald you'll make the difference on his next insurrection.

All the Losers.

john

I like Thailand and Chiang Mai.

Yes it's not nice in the burning season and normally I have a month or so down on the seaside.

Don't know if Ill be allowed to escape this year just have to wait and see.

Thai gov did well banning flights in and out and the internal crackdown was strict but very few deaths, unlike UK not to mention USA.

Neither I or any of my aquatencies knows anyone who is in Hospital with Covid let alone died of of it.

Gents, no Dentist has ever caused me pain or serious discomfort, however I get very uncomfortable when ever I visit a dentist.

Smell or sight of the chair, just sets me off.

Does anyone know of a sympathetic Dr who offers a relaxant before treatment.

7 hours ago, Kwasaki said:

So l'm told Red Lion is open and you say it can't sell Guinness right. 

True, no booze sales for 14 days and Kevin the owner has reduced his opening hours.

john

Thank you.

I spoke to a DR Urologist at Siriphat and he told me that the steam injection method was not available there or at any CM hospital.

Further info on this site has said nowhere in Thailand does the Steam injection method, which in UK is a walk in during the morning, operation carried out then you walk out under your own "Steam" that afternoon.

I have found that I can watch vids from my iPad on my TV using my HMDI cable, so I think I will be OK using a Mac Mini.

john

Thank you.

I am a user not an expert on electronics.

If I don't know I ask.

john

My original post was badly worded.

What I should have said is, Will the workings of a computer run on a TV ?

I know both have a HDMI connection but do they "Speak" to eack other in same language.

john

I see the new Mini mac is getting good reviews.

I have a 2012 iMac and an even older Macbook Pro, both of which I had upgraded to SSD.

Talk of a new iMac next year.

I am considering buying a new Mini Mac and understand that it has a HDMI slot, with this I could connect to my 4K TV and watch on a 42" screen.

Is it posssible to connect to a TV or would I need to buy a dedicated computer screen ?

john

Thamks for all advice, made a change in Energy Saver.

I supose a power surge could be cause of the Waking.

Now must wait and see what happens, or comence Shutting down each end of day.

john

Thanks for your advice.

I could not find"wake for network activity" in Chrome Preferences but found Norton is controling which I canncelled.

john

I normally place my iMac in sleep mode and most times it stays in sleep until I wake it up.

However occasionally say every 3-4 days it wakes up. 
I thought the internet connection could be causing this but after disconnection cable it still happened.

I have Norton security and Malware bites loaded and neither help.

Any ideas ?

john

My GP a lady Doctor did mine.

john

Thank you, i have used Invade many years back and consider them a good company.

All practical information is appreciated.

john

Thanks for the practical advice.

john

Gents could anyone give me an idea on a good current model ?

john

Fooled me and I have been coming here since the 70s.

Yes I should have known, just too many good looking girls.

Made a note of the board experts.

john

My really old hands used to talk of the 10 Baht knocking shops in Fang, 40 years ago, all hill tribe ladies.

john

Half a million Baht, with my old friend Dr B !

No Sorry wrong I'll suffer.

Siriraj has still not responded to my email of yesterday morning.

Thank you to all who have provided useful information.
