To London:- EVA is direct and good. Finnair is also an option via a quiet and calm Helsinki, and around 120k bht return - in their new funky seat.

Here's hopefully some useful info. Do NOT buy an Android box - cheap and worse than that https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/18/popular-android-tv-boxes-sold-on-amazon-are-laced-with-malware/ and worse is usually they are running some version of android rather than Google TV - so interface will be rubbish for the usual type of tv remote (most of those Android boxes will require an 'air' remote to be usable...), on top of the underpowered chipsets used in them. Buy the "Chromecast with Google TV 4k" (you can check it also from Google itself) - easily avaliable Shopee etc for about 2000bht. this actually has the proper Google TV software. you can easily install a VPN app if needed, and i'd recommend Tivimate (or TVSmarters) for an IPTV app. For Tivimate best to go into Settings>General>User-Agent and set it to "VLC" just in case to prevent nay problems with your stream provider. ps Smarttube is also useful as an alternative to the usual youtube app for reason you'll quickly find out. pps an App called Button Mapper is good too - remap the Google remote Youtube button to SmartTube and remap the Netflix button to Tivimate, for example. ppps if you use an iPhone then install the Google home app, and you can connect that to the Chromecast box for data entry etc from your phone rather than faffing with the onscreen keyboard

It's not so much as needing an alternative to Kindle (Kobo is an option), but to take control & download your books - my advice is to use an app called Calibre. https://calibre-ebook.com/about You can check on MobileRead forums and elsewhere how excellent & trustworthy it is. Download your ebooks after purchase, and then you will have a copy of your book under your control.

No - both the Withings BPM connect and a new Omron are on the arm device - wrist ones are npt recommended at all. Omron Evolv is their equivalent.

There are newer Omron and Withings blood pressure monitors that don't have the tubing - a one piece item that also logs your readings to your phone. Withings BPM connect is good and on Shopee for about same price as Amazon US https://shopee.co.th/Withings-BPM-Connect-Blood-Pressure-Monitor-i.71913621.7556898484?sp_atk=76487996-363a-46b4-bc27-d814043670c5&xptdk=76487996-363a-46b4-bc27-d814043670c5

Available at many district medical centres the wife says... We went for our booster (Pfizer) a couple of weeks ago at the Bangkok Youth Centre Thai-Japanese at Din Daeng as it's fairly close to us. Free and well organised - I think it's only weekends at that location google "Bangkok thai-japanese youth centre" and you'll get it if that's handy for you (Din Daeng and Rama 9)

SB Design rather than Index... and shopping online at Ikea rather than the horror of the real life Ikea maze. The online Ikea has great delivery with timed choices - and yes, you can pay extra for them to screw it all together for you for any larger size items which I strongly recommend. (SB design when I used them many years ago also put it all together no extra charge).

As mentioned above - get an Aeropress. Ignore the instructions that come with it. I recommend brewing inverted (google and youtube) and let it steep for 2-1/2 minutes then press. And as soon as you can get whole beans (Bluekoff or others) and a grinder. This one: Baratza Encore grinder 6,900Bht https://shopee.co.th/เครื่องบดกาแฟ-BARATZA-ENCORE-i.56671972.5359524160 The easy & excellent one cup way is a Moccamaster One-Cup... but unfortunately this wonderful coffemaker is 16,900bht here... so if you go to the UK you could pick one up for less than half the price https://www.bellabarista.co.uk/brands/technivorm-one-cup-filter-coffee-machine-orange.html

You can ask at Doctor Vision (it's close to the Mall at Bang Kapi) http://doctorvision.net I was fit for my progressive Scleral contact lenses there by Dr Bird - they're excellent. Not sure if they have stock of monthly soft lenses - ask them, they may be able to order whatever you need even so.
