  1. Indeed - and the cost with fitting is hardly more than without these days - and the mounting is about the size of the previous cover plate. Have seen both end and center fed wires. But you have to turn off electric to rewire each time so not a good option for many people. As for the mount itself at most have to remove old screws/holders and use new holders. Alternative is always take old lamp with you when buying new and make sure it is the same (maybe just write down info from old tube but believe safer to take old as more likely seller will actually check that way).
  2. Does it not freeze in the UK? No such excuse here.
  3. Perhaps freaks sometimes need to be controlled? For those non drunks, seeking company, earlier closing is often an advantage.
  4. Do not believe that was how it worked previously - if I went to other web sites and returned would have notifications for all topics including what was on screen. This a new software feature?
  5. No mention of where living - one might believe alone in mothers basement. But if a real call for help perhaps moving to an area where other Thai are present might be good for everyone. Otherwise the phone is her only contact.
  6. But that 40k is not required if foreigner is a woman and Thai spouse is male. Yes, the male must support the female.
  7. No. The free healthcare is not the same as social security healthcare and is provided to all Thai citizens with coverage based on residence.
  8. I had a big event at about your age and cost at government hospital would have been about 60,000 baht - at the private hospital I used it was a bit over a million, almost 20 times as much. Cancer specialized treatment seems to be the most common bankrupt route - but you have the choice not to take such treatments. You might still be able to obtain insurance but would advise using from outside Thailand firm but need to do soon.
  9. Would point out all Thai have free healthcare - no need to piggyback on family member except for more choice of treatment locations. You can also use government facilities on a pay for use basis - which is much cheaper that using private facilities and in some cases free (or almost so).
  10. Suspect the seal is a rubber ring which that racket to the left tightens the base filter into the holder - try to tighten. Ring slips around filter. If that is not the case suspect plastic has broken and entire filter/assembly will have to be replaced. Sorry can not help with local contact but any store that sells would be able to provide information for someone to check for you.
  11. This seems to be what is listed: dtac contact channels and ask questions dtac Call Center Contact Tel. 1678 (DTAC number 3 baht/time, other numbers please check with service provider) Call now Social Media Contact channels to inquire about services Through social media channels LINE and FACEBOOK dtac dtac Company address True Corporation Public Company Limited 18 True Tower Building, Ratchadaphisek Road, Huai Khwang Subdistrict, Huai Khwang District, Bangkok 10310 map Tel. 02 202 8000
  12. Not sure what you want but maybe check this list (as they owned by True that might also be an option): https://www.dtac.co.th/postpaid/services/dtacnumber.html
  13. As am sure you are aware there are thousands of Thai getting scammed every day by such people and only a tiny proportion get to the news or an actual settlement of any type (normally only happens when major financial/public/political figures are involved). Just has been way too easy for such persons to operate here (even the Indian scammers operating from India use Thailand for hiding financial transaction). Today's news reports about 500 thousand such accounts active at any given time here). As your account appears to only be an online presence probably not worth your time beyond continued requests for payment. It they are still in operation at least there is a chance - but if gone to ground very little.
  14. Here in Thailand there are both Northern and Southern hemisphere shots and recent years 4 variant version and now over 65. Most seem to get shots during March/April but they are available all year (although believe Northern hemisphere is more normal this time of the year).
  15. Actually there was no such vaccine prior to 2009 and it has only been recommended for the last year - not even available here prior to that AFAIK. The normal vaccine offers protection - the extra strength just provides more protection, which can be an advantage for the elderly. https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2022/older-adults-high-dose-flu-shot.html#:~:text=Since the summer of 2022,dose or adjuvanted influenza vaccine.
  16. Actually, without a work permit and/or tax payment, they could have cause I suspect. But if legally working here with required income it should be accepted - but have seen reports that this might not always be the case.
  17. How would we know if you have given up? Suspect you mean should you give up? As we have no real knowledge of what transpired it is hard to even guess.
  18. Actually we are the people providing most of the information and entertainment - at no cost. Suspect the advertising we view is intended to pay the upkeep bills and profit to owners.
  19. At same height and 90kg have not had such issues (although each car will be a bit different). Might be better if you use front seat and seatbelt? Most taxi drivers will move seat back for you. The only such issue I have had is some taxi (few off brands) have overhead pull above door which you can hit head on during travel if sit near door. Front seat does remove that factor.
  20. Two sets because it is not a local decision - normal. Same requirements each and every year (with the 30 day under review) - home visits may or may not be made. Advantage is that account money is yours to use for 9 or 10 months of the year - unlike for retirement (unless using income method).
  21. I was not able to access forum at all after 1800 on 17th until morning try today at about 0720 on the 19th. All day yesterday had sign in - did so and got forum outage message (with a pot advertisement below). This happened at least 30 times during the day until 2000 gave up. Also tried new access to just to asiannow.com and got same outage message or not even able to contact website. This all using local True access. This morning different default came up for log in - did so and all seems to be working - except the go to top shortcut that we all seem to be going on about.
  22. Thai normally start with number 1 (rather than zero) just as with visa stays and such - so day 10 would be day 1 of the countdown.
  23. They did not receive on 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 = 7 days
  24. Tell the truth - Grace hotel - Nana Hotel coffee shop - Gaysorn bars open in the day - Patpong at night - or if you had earplugs New Phetburi Road R&R area. Airport road was single lane after Latphao intersection and there to Airport the only dual carriageway. Taxi meters only used to hold drivers hat.
  25. It could mean company that sent confirms item returned intact?
