    Are you sure you don't need to be resident in UK 6 MONTHS B4 FREE TREATMENT

    Not sure about Rezum but in Australia Turp (A transurethral resection of the prostate is a surgical procedure that involves cutting away a section of the prostate) is the most proffered method while in other countries HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) is the way to go.

    I'd Turp done in Adventist Hosp Penang about 11+ yrs ago, also cancer in bladder + assess in Prostate. 3 days hospital, no further problems, cost then about 7,500rm. PSA seems to hover around 4-5  to5.

    They are a great tank yes but there's not that many available for Ukraine. There are hundreds in storage that need  refurbishment and that takes at least a year. Each country also needs to way up how many they need to keep themselves as protection. I've seen an estimate of about 330 would be the realistic figure available but in this post it gives a good breakdown of Europe's and NATO inventory of Leopards.

    Many  Challangers available from middle East. However Tanks are Urgently  needed Now!

    Sam Roi Yot is lovely, but is not Hua Hin. There  is very little aside from the beachfront   low end or high cost resorts.

    Cicada market  is at the end of Hua Hin closer to Khao Takaib than it is to Hua Hin town.

     

    Now to answer OP question, please have a look at Agoda, there are many hotels and service apartments that are at historic low cost now. I have stayed at many of the serviced apartments hotels that surround Market Village. Nothing spectacular, but they are solid 3 stars. I feel that I have received much better value at these places than when I have stayed at Intercontinental and Mariott, which are direct on the beach.  The ideal zone if you wish easy access to beach is between Bluport and Market Village. There are some reasonable hotels on the beachside of the main road Petchkasem. The best value is on the other side of the road with the new DUsit  mid market facility and others. Also, there are many reasonable Thai  restaurants in the area.  Beware that traffic can be heavy so you will need to use  overwalk at market Village, or Overwalk at Intercontinental/Bluport or the  pedestrian crosswalk with lights  midway between the two at  Bangkok Hospital (People slow, but do not necessarily stop). I mention all this because I do not know if the  child has strength to walk the 100-250 meters to the beach.  They are all easy walks.  I recommend the zone between Bluport to Market Village because of the easy access to  services, restaurants, food markets, cinemas etc.  Inner part of Hua Hin is dead or dying as the city prepares to redevelop the former entertainment venues, many of which have moved towards the  market Village to Bluport area.

    Despite all the activity, town goes quiet by 10 pm and outside of the bar district, everyone is alseep by 11 pm.

    It's a place I like to recharge my personal battery in. Aside from the poor accessibility  to airports and awful train schedule, Hua Hin is the ideal place to stay. 

    Great Tq for info your thoughts. Appreciated 

    Anyone travelled business on the Qatar A380- and how does it compare to Q suites?

    Thank you,

     

    You have been helpful, I am looking forward to this sit at the bar experience on the A380!

     

    I find Q suites a bit claustrophobic as well but they are OK if you want to be totally left alone.

     

    I had a couple of guys talking to me in Doha whilst awaiting the gate to open, bitterly complaining regards economy class in Qatar and said they were moving back to Emirates.

     

    Whenever I have traveled economy, I pay extra for exit row seats.

     

     

     

     

    Yes sorry I'd changed to Qatar a few years ago, I'd been using Ethiad very happy with their service. Qatar getting into out of  Dublin a better time my reason to change. During Covid Qatar had offer to purchase frequent flyer points. Tried to upgrade was refused. Most unhappy with Qatar, they thinking don't care for lolaty!
