Mice and Rats get lots out in the sticks Here is no difference than UK, France & Portugal also lived out in the sticks. Use the cage, always have 3 set, you hear when you get one, if it is not one then easy to let out. Drop in a bucket of water quick death. Against the pellets and the glue, is a slow death + maybe another animal get stuck or eats the pellets. + where will they die ? follow the smell in 2 days sure to be in a difficult place to get to for the past 21 years living here catch at least 2+ a week.

Watch F1 for many many years The good old days were a lot better, now one wonders if it is worth watching, so many changes all the time + changes after the Race, some by silly amounts No points as plank was .0x mm to thin. + 2 more cars underweight by a silly small amount Why test just a few ? if all were tested maybe all would have been out

Price is confusing. 9 years ago price at a Private Eye Hospital from the Surgun herself - all in was 70,000 baht for both eyes Last December at Chula Hospital the price for the surgery was 15 - 16,000 baht per eye... dig a bit deeper = + Hospital fees + Nurse Fees + the Lens replacement.... Did not speak to the Sugen so not 100% price on the type of Lense but as a estimate told 25 - 30,000 baht per eye = Surgery + Lense + Fees + next day follow up visit

No ide how people can tell the difference between coffees when then have milk and sugar.. ? Understand the French they have small cups + very strong coffee + 6 or so sugar lumps - myself always have large coffee + jug of hot water in France

As for coffee pot got a very old Electric Drip Filter coffee machine, bought in Lisbon Portugal in 1989 and it still works every morning, only problem not been able to find the paper filters for years, have some gold filters or make do with other cut down ones Always fancied a 'Smeg Drip Filter Coffee Machine' but looking at the price here guess will never own one https://shopee.co.th/SMEG-Drip-Coffee-Machine-เครื่องดริปกาแฟ-รุ่น-DCF02-ประกันศูนย์-1-ปี-i.45539070.13965193704?is_from_login=true

Drank for many years [40+] Douwe Egberts coffee beans but find it more difficult to find here + price has doubled and doubled again over the years Jacobs was OK but not seen here for years - yes offee in Vietnam was good Did see Douwe Egberts Pure Gold Medium Roast Instant Coffee - 200g Jar- never tried Their instant Coffee so no idea + at just under 1,000 baht is crazy price the only instant coffee I like is Tchibo Gold Instant Coffee - in fridge as standby Carrefour sadly gone and now Tesco, so much harder to find some things Only drank Black coffee even as a kid much to my Mother horror Late teens to my 50s drank 30+ Mugs fresh brewed black coffee every day from wake up to bedtime. Never had milk or sugar - these days cut back 3 - 5 mugs a day + plain water the rest of the day.

in 21 years of living here + a few different eye Drs never seen a He eye Dr.. The older Lady 4 years ago, more or less said until I had Surgery would need new glasses every year or 2 so that maybe the reason ? The slip of a girl eye Dr in December said lenses in new glasses would do very little As different days + times in a day my eyes can change, [earlier today both about the same, now the left eye in much worse].. reason was wondering about these Adjustable lenses

have worn glasses all my life, from the age of around 12, most of this time always had Varifocals' 2012 Dr said have Cataracts in both eyes - + have the opp when it interferes with your daily life 2021 had more new glasses, Dr said waste of money to have Varifocals, so have Bifocals HATE them + 4 years on still hate them.. Last December Eye Dr said maybe time to have the Surgery, as yet still in 2 minds about it. So at 74 sure eyes change over the years, but at moment long distance see much better without glasses !! the bottom glasses are reading = difficult as cannot see my feet or were I am walking very clear.. My vision problem is 1 - 2 meters away [PC and TV} my PC Monitor is 32" had 32" for many years, wear glasses is a bit better but get neck pain holding my head so high to see out of the bottom of glasses. Question - has anyone tried or have them ?? Looks a good idea, but do they work ?

Lots of things to think about Ryzen 7 U = 15 watt Ryzen 5 H = 28 watt Ryzen 5 HS = 35 watt this is very little difference in use - just how long the battery will last on a charge, the Ryzen 7 U is newer, + maybe 8% faster that a Ryzen 5 H [the Ryzen 7 7735HS is a lot faster + much higher price] Then comes the GPU Graphics, the old Vega 8 is far better than the newer found in many laptops 610M base graphics - best low cost GPU is AMD Radeon RX 5500M - the RX 7900M is the other end + high price For info all my life only had AMD, Both Desktops and Laptops had a few NVIDIA GeForce graphics, but always had problems, so changed a few years ago to ATI Radeon/AMD Radeon graphics so far in past 18 years never had a problem with these cards.....

Finger Blood Tester For many years always use Accu-chek - in 2016 upgraded again to the newest Accu-chek performa The price of the test stris are going crazy 25 used to be around 450 baht, now 700+ baht,,,, - normally buy 100 strips - online from China 850 baht with P&P, now = 1,150 baht Bangkok used to be 1,200 baht [2020] for 100 strips now 1,700 baht !!! Anyone use the ''Sinocare Safe Accu 2'' Diabetes Monitor ?? any good ? from what I can see Made in Thailand the strips are 460 baht for 100, so would work out a lot cheaper every 2 - 3 months

Yes true, Here 21 years have renewed my passport twice and they only look at my picture and UK details, 1st time had to apply to HK only needed copy of my detail page

the 3 that I know, as I said have to supply a photo every year.

Mine runs out on 31 December Always renew 1st week of December, date stamp of new extension is 4 dec 2024... Valid until 31 Dec 2025 Another way if you cannot go, get someone to go for you [friend/wife]. give them a letter explaining why + all the normal paperwork needed and a photo of yourself in bed or Hospital
