How long have you been on Alfuzosin? I started on it more than 4 years ago and also got the runny nose, sneezing side effects but they weren't too bothersome. After being on it about a year I read of a study that reported that the same dose but only every other day had virtually identical benefit as the daily dose. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9671862/ I tried it and it has worked very well for me and the side effects were reduced. No prostate problems since I started Alfuzosin although I changed my diet too on doctors advice. Cut out virtually all dairy and sugar, and alcohol as much as I could. Good luck.

Thai Rice Industry Threatened as Vietnamese Strain Raises the Bar
edwinchester replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
When wifey and I first got married she came to the UK for 3 years and really enjoyed eating Basmati rice. Still raves about the Indian curries we bought in the local takeaway. -
Thai Rice Industry Threatened as Vietnamese Strain Raises the Bar
edwinchester replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Some farmers need to up their game. The old boy who rents wifeys lands normally gets 3 harvests a year. A short distance away where the paddy is connected directly to a large canal the farmer crops every 3 months. Literally planting a new crop a few days after cutting the old one. -
Photo of tourist at Thai temple sparks online debate
edwinchester replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
It's a footprint, people are going to step on it. If it really is so revered it should have a sign saying so or even be roped off. -
NETA V - Have any members got one?

Thanks for the tip. I've just bought a V2L plug and haven't tried it out yet. -
NETA V - Have any members got one?
edwinchester replied to grs90's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Yeah, school run is 58kms door to door twice a day. Old fuel bill for our Triton plus house electric was in the region of 11 to 12k bht per month. Now we have solar panels total cost for home electric and car charging is about 1700 bht per month......a useful saving haha. -
NETA V - Have any members got one?
edwinchester replied to grs90's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
We've had our NetaV for just over a year now and more than 50,000 kms. Nothing has broken. Average of about 125kms per day mainly on the school run. Initial cost was about 0.5 bht per km charging at home then about 0.25 bht per km when we had our off-peak/TOU meter installed. Now almost all mileage is free as we've installed solar panels. It's comfortable, I'm 6 foot and it fits 5 adults although best if the 3 in the back are Thai. Room in the back for 2 largish, 2 medium suitcases. Only thing we've changed are the headlight bulbs as the originals were dreadful. LED's are much better. Servicing is 1500 bht at 10000 kms, big service at 40k was about 4k bht. Next car will also be an EV. Edit...forgot the range. Drive easy using Epedal and 4km per 1% battery is possible but a heavier foot and probably just over 3 kms will be the usual. We went to Bangkok over the weekend, 300 kms and still had 15% left getting home. -
UN 'Deeply Concerned' by Thailand’s Opposition Party Ban
edwinchester replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
When the Burmese Junta went too far and dismissed a rightfully elected govt the last time, the people finally rose up, enough was enough. I wonder when Thailand's disenfranchised will finally shout the same? -
We've got alot of buffalo roaming around here in rural Thailand. Always slow right down and give them a wide berth. Surprised that many of the locals won't knock off their speed when passing them as I've seen the major damage done by even a young buffalo to a pickup that hit it.

Correct it matters not a jot what I think or want but talking with all of my Thai friends they are extremely angry by what has happened to the party they voted for and say they'll be voting for whatever incarnation is forced of MF in the future. Unlike you they want a real democracy in Thailand to improve their lives rather than a rich elite running a country for the benefit of a few mega rich.

"May Thailand always remain a Monarchy & fiercely patriotic..." I see you left out any mention of democracy. Disenfranchising over 14 million people of their vote was inevitable when Move Forward won the election but it was far from a mistake rather it was a calculated blow from Thailand's elite using the Military Appointed Constitutional Court to further their own corrupt cause.

Please enlighten me as to which Western democracies have had their Courts dissolve 3 political parties in the last 5 years?

Seems the height of stupidity to venture into a cave prone to flooding when there is heavy continuous rain in the area.

Car Extended Warranty (Mitsubishi Warranty Plus)
edwinchester replied to sgenea's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
How much is the extended warranty? I had a Triton for just under 17 years and the only serious problem I had in all that time was the AC matrix failing twice. 5000 bht to fix each time. -
Ex-Footballer Ian Heddle Jailed for Child Abuse in Thailand
edwinchester replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Four years for the sexual abuse of a young child and the possession of child pornography is shamefully short. I hate to think he may be out in two years for good behaviour. Hopefully he fellow prisoners will make his stay particularly memorable for him.- 73 replies

Our plan is to go off-grid fairly soon as we save so much anyway. Installation of a smart meter will just hasten the switch. As a further comment when we talked at PEA about installing solar panels, we were interested in the feedback bonus, the guy we chatted to told wifey the meter may run backwards! He actually said if you don't go overboard cutting the bill too quickly and by way too much it's unlikely a smart meter will be installed anytime soon.

We have a simple 5kw grid-tie system. 90k bht installed. We have ten 610w panels but disconnected two as it's kicking out too much power on sunny days. Those 2 panels will go toward making another 5kw array when we install a battery sometime next year. We live in Kanchanaburi. Installation was carried out by a small team recommended by a friend. Zero regrets so far and very happy with their work.
