    Portugal seems to be nice. And the Senoritas are great, too. 

     

    Portugal, with its welcoming locals and pleasant climate, offers expats a very good quality of life. ... Portugal attracts an above-average percentage of retirees. It also ranks in the top 10 for family life. Expats enjoy the climate and weather.

     

    Blue Skies and Warm Smiles

    Portugal ranks an impressive 6th out of 68 countries in the overall results for 2018. In three indices, the country ranks in the top 10, including fifth for ease of settling in and second for quality of life.

    Portugal is nice, especially Algarve; One little problem: very expensive in razors; Portuguese ladies tend to be very hairy. Maybe better Costa Del Sol  in Spain.... Or Barcelona.

    OP, did you get married in UK or Thailand ?

    If its UK there will be a process to translate, register etc, your UK marriage in Thailand.

    Its no big drama but something you need to be aware of.

    Q from a non-UK National ( out of interest ) . In case OP is Legally married in UK, can this then be registered at UK/Th embassy? Or does it have to be translated/certified at MOFA -Chang Whattana Bkk??

    I don't need to show anything when i insure each year, send an e-mail, get a quote then bank payment and docs rock up about 10-14 days later - job done.

    That is about your private insurance, probably. I think OP is mentioning the State insurance that is issued automatically together with yearly car or motorcycle Tax......

    My Grandfather made his own Blue Cheese.  He wouldn't have thought of eating it until it had mould all over it and crawling things inside it. He didn't live past 65, but then again,  he drank like a fish, while eating his semi rotten cheese.  I was around 4 years old at the time and when Mum and Dad weren't looking, he would feed me his home made stuff.  I love blue cheese of any description, the riper the better. Thanks Granddad. 

     

    P.S I am using the English spelling of 'mould',  as 'mold' doesn't have a meaning in UK English and 'mould' doesn't have a meaning in US English.  Stupid language isn't it?   No wonder my Mrs gets confused. . 

    Aray Wha......????

    I agree about cutting off the mouldy outer layer but don't shave it off. As has been said the mould is not just skin deep. Blue cheese is possibly a good choice if you have any infections but amoxicillin is probably cheaper. 

    "Blue cheese is a type of cheese made using cultures of Penicillium, a type of mold.

    Certain types of mold produce compounds called mycotoxins, which are considered toxic to humans.

    These mold spores can grow on foods due to spoilage, and they’re typically fuzzy and white, green, black, blue, or grey.

    However, unlike these types of mold, the varieties of Penicillium used to produce blue cheese don’t produce toxins and are considered safe to consume.

    During the cheesemaking process, Penicillium is added after the curds have been drained and rolled into wheels. The blue cheese is then left to age for 2–3 months before it’s ready to enjoy.

    Penicillium is responsible for the distinct taste and smell of blue cheese, along with its signature blue and green veins and spots."

    Yes it's very hard to find good cheese at the price you can buy amoxicillin for.

    It's available according to the Thai Embassy Brussels.

    บริการวีซ่า – Royal Thai Embassy Brussels

     

    I think your misinterpreting the information on the list of 14 nationalities that are eligible to apply for the Non O/X visa. 

     

    I interpret that as separate to Belgian nationals the above 14 nationalities can also apply for the O-X Visa at the Thai Embassy in Brussels.

     

    You may very well be correct; I will look into this again. Thks for update.

    The Royal Gazette confirms that it is only a check when entering the country. After the covid 19 emergency is over their will not be a requirement for a test either.

    Don't get me wrong, I am not implying the OP is Belgian or not, just out of curiosity please correct me if wrong but I was under the impression Belgian nationals cannot , for some reason, apply for OX Visa...

    1. They sell LED light bulbs (yes they also make them as bulbs, not just the fancy forms)

     

    2. I have a drawer full of Philips light bulbs that frequently blow

     

    3. The EVE LED bulbs and lamps have also blown too soon

     

    4. The manufacturers often guarantee them for life (so if they blow after a few months, that is the end of their life)

         This could happen even with the Philips Dubai lamp.

     

    5. My first job as a student Electrical Engineer in a Power Station was to change light bulbs, which were very high up, using a "Grabber" which has a long extendable handle. They sell the same thing in Tesco Thailand or via Lazada at around B440 to B560.

    That's why they invented Covid 19 in order to reduce life expectancy.. 555555:cheesy:

    I think it is quite obvious from the OP that he has to replace a bulb, so what LED lights have to do with this is not clear to me.

     

    Anyway, please report back in 17 years, how many you have replaced, because your lights are now only 6 months old..

     

    If you look at my post history, you will find that not so long ago I started a thread about the short lifespan of LED bulbs, and there are members in that thread which told us that their LED lights, also didn't last long

    What do you care? We probably won't be around to tell anymore. 55555
