  1. Find a Company Directors 10 year old car = good buy... Eg Audi A6 New 3.6 million.......... 1 owner 10 year old Company Directors car around 550,000 baht at todays prices mine had 110,000 km, it was perfect condition + very little problem in the following 10 years I owned it + lost 100.000 baht in the 10 years I owned it.
  2. No idea what is wrong with white hair ? No idea why some older folk have a blue tint dyed hair, In UK appeared to norm years ago but here, in my little Village there are 2 men [next door he is 78 and 5 houses up he is 92] + 1 lady also 80 with blue tint hair.... Is Blue hair better then white ? Guy in the big house in his 50s changes hair colour every couple of weeks, from jet black to pure white and just about every other colour there is.
  3. Need Cataracts removed in both eyes, but until it is a big problem then wait until such time says eye Dr [Both at Chula and Eye Hospital Pinkloa] Chula [Red Cross] said 13 - 15,000 baht per eye, No overnight for the Op, + best to have other eye done 3 weeks later You have a big white eye pad stuck over eye then go back following day..... The question would be returning home... = walk to underground + underground 45 min + Purple line to end = another 45 mins + Taxi 30 + mins + same going back next day.... Maybe get Hotel room nearby
  4. Did have hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg + enalapril 20 mg .. but present Hospital do not have so put on Losartan Reason Changed to Local Hospital when Covid started, going into BKK via Taxi + Purple Line + Underground + busy Hospital all the crowds was a no no..
  5. extended release metformin = Hospital do not have, = more expensive at cheaper Pharmacy many km away.... [Did try 1000mg extended release buying myself for 2 months but made no difference] Insulin the only type the Hospital have 30/70 mix, no Pharmacy in a wide area stock any Insulin, [only Expensive Private Hospitals + will not sell unless you have seen a in house Dr first] so have little option unless do a 110 km round trip to Rama 4 Pharmacies Yes BP med's have been missing them out the odd days. but miss for 2 or 3 days = 190/120 + there are so many that have severe allergic reaction to, so a bit difficult + very limited range the Hospital stock
  6. regular 2 x 850mg 2 years ago reduced from 3 a day [from 1991 - 2015 was on 500 MG x 5 per day, then early 2015 reduced to 3 x 850 mg a day + Insulin . then in 2022 reduced 2x a day, Insulin also been reducing] Not all episodes a month are BS..... Some are BP sudden drops likewise Meds have been reducing........ 21:00 last night felt bad/light headed, could not stand = BP 102/45 OK ish this morning 101/57... was on Losartan 100 mg + some others, but over the past year has been reduced to Losartan 25 mg the others stopped No idea if makes a difference ? Dr keeps adding Vitamin's Vitamin B12 1 x day + Vitamin D 2 20000U 1x week + Vitamin B CO ED 2 x day + Fish Oil 1000 mg 1x day + Vitamin B 1- 6 1 x day + newest last month Vitamin B 6 - 12 3 x a day + Vitamin A 10000U 1 x a day
  7. That's my 3rd HYPO in 6 years time and I hope the last. wish I could say the same, for past 15 or so years have at least 3 Hypo per month, sometimes 3 in a week and then it is down to between 60 and 70.. wet with Sweeting and the shakes = Very Low = warm milk and Honey I am Diabetic Lada 1.5 so take Metformin + Insulin.. dosage = what my BS reading is If it is low say 80 - 90 feel light headed blurred have no idea it it is BS or BP, Blood Pressure also give the same feeling so must test both and yes over the years had very low BP

  9. No idea what Marketplace is,,,,, looked it uo Google says Marketplace Thailand, for second-hand items also Shopee .. I am not looking for 2nd hand stuff + would never buy 2nd hand electrical stuff from Advice : Computer Set AMD RYZEN 5 7600 which is the New 7000 series with AM 5 motherboard + DDR 5 the full Computer set with same day delivery is very little more + 3 year warranty
  10. not a very good answer if you want Thai.. Lenovo Group of China is the world's largest maker of personal computers. NUC also has the address Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. So what are - 'other well known mini pc'. ? As a matter of interest the CPU Ryzen 7600X is made in china !!!! as are many others. AMD in 2022 took the made in in Taiwan labels off. ? Maybe try the USA guess make in Mexico via USA website?
  11. Looking at the Ryzen Mini PC...... China = 11 - 12.000 baht + FREE delivery........... same mini PC make and spec 21- 23,000 baht + delivery charge already in Thailand Is the Thai sellers buying from China and doubling the price ? Where would you buy ?
  12. In general, it's a great idea to reboot the main internet router every couple of months. A router reboot can fix certain Internet connectivity issues, from no Internet connectivity to slow wireless connections, and should be one of your first troubleshooting steps in a home or consumer environment
  13. I rust Advise + they have shops everywhere, bought many things from them over past 20 years Delivered the same day as you order https://www.advice.co.th/product/notebook/notebook-asus as you can see a 15.6 i3 12th Gen Intel start at 12,xxx baht the i.5 12 th Gen 15.xxx baht All have Windows 11 installed

  15. Believe the old age pension is around 600 baht pert month Guess trying to make ends meet, - old + wheelchair not a lot of options to make a bit extra
  16. Few years ago [did not know any better back then] had eye test and new varifocals, on collection was not good, the staff said need a few days to get used to them.. 3 visits later a older man re-tested my eyes, Yes prescription was correct, but found a problem they were not made with the lenses in the correct position on one side -- middle lens was at the top ! reading lens was in the middle and long distance was at the bottom, I did get new correctly made glasses + a discount for there error.............. have Never paid 20,000+ baht again Present glasses = eye test + very nice frames + lenses for under 2,000 at Government Hospital
  17. Likewise Acer for 14 years, never a problem, just these days painfully slow and still on XP, but it still works slowly plugged in, battery died a few years ago, my very expensive 'Sony' totally died after 12 years Expensive is not always better
  18. other than my backup WD Ext. HDD, the other 3 WD Ext .USB HDD have been connected for years [ 1 x 1TB + 2 x2 TB] on the oldest Ext. 1TB HDD just looked some items date back to 2012, so it has been plugged in for 14 years.
  19. Just avoid the cordless ones, as most are crap No idea why, my last cordless gave up after 22 years, my present one is 11 years old + a cheap one from and named Mr DIY [under 300 baht] Years ago bought a expensive electric trimmer. some USA brand it stopped working after a couple of years...
  20. Sharp yes had no end of Fans over the years until I bought a Sharp so much better and stronger, so far have 5 never had a problem, only 4 more to go when the old one fall to bits. as for kettle, always use the hot pot, 'HomeSmart' appear to last 12 years, present one is 8 years old, it is the vacuum push pump thing that goes, notice new ones cost under 800 baht
  21. Found out years ago... If you have your towel hanging in the bathroom shake well before using,, as for the floor buy a spray bottle [ 3 bottle's for 20 baht at 20 baht shop] always have a bottle handy filled with 'Duck' bathroom cleaner to spray the floor they wiggle about and die, amazing how the little one get between the cracks of the tiles. Not seen a big one for a long time, just no idea where all the little comes keep coming from. maybe up the shower drain hole ?
  22. Just got back from the Hospital.... on the BP Machine 122/64, did ask the Dr. she called a Nurse that did it with stethoscope and manometer = 118/58.... So I was correct in reducing Med's myself on the odd days or missing them altogether.. The only odd thing have been reducing the Insulin myself as often to low, yet this morning at Hospital was Blood Test was103.. but the HbA1c was up to 7.1 !! All the other test were fine and well in range
  23. Yes Carrefour and Tesco had many of there own Brand products + far cheaper that big name brands in Bic C Extra or Lotus's
  24. Yes also get them all the time..... Hate it often I cannot see the little picture and no idea it it is a car a bush a bus, if you get it wrong then another set comes up with more hard to see items bicycles, bridges, traffic lights
  25. Yes same here I check my Blood Sugar level every morning and evening and write the results in an Excel file with BP readings with a link to a second page with the details of the food and drinks I had that day. I am always near last to see the Dr as she takes time reading the daily reports I have type 1.5 Lada Diabetes . my HbA1c level has been around 6.0 - 6.3 for some years
