  1. Control Panel > Clock and Region > Region > Format Me have it set to UK........... as you have it in Thai then you are already set to Bangkok time, just need to set the language you need to display
  2. Yes same here I have Windows 10 with Google Chrome, also tried on Opera and AVG Browsers Right click and open in New Tab then works fine.
  3. As said before if you look at the UK Royal Mail website, is states could take 12 weeks [non Airmail] to arrive in Thailand...Also interesting clearly states that BA no longer have flights to Thailand, so Air Mail letter are sent 1 x weekly via Cargo in some plane. This is the second time the Pension 'Life' form has not arrived.... --"and confirm your identity over the telephone and payments will be restarted immediately"-- Yes this is true, but only for 16 weeks until they get the 'New' "life Certificate" the man I spoke to sent a new form via email straight after the phone call. Also note: restarted immediately uh in 2023 you would think that this then would arrive next day in the Thai Bank... It took 10 working days to show up. 3 days later the next 4 week payment arrived on normal day
  4. I have blood work done 1x a year, so really only need to go to the Hospital once a year, yet must go every 3 months to see the Dr and get a another repeat prescription .. total time at least 6 hours, at the local Government Hospital 10 mins away.. Very Large waiting room with 4 Drs rooms, + at the end in another room with 2 Dr's. here we are all Diabetic. there is always 100's of people. but fairly fast as most are just repeat prescriptions only... Med's are a lot cheaper at Government Hospitals. + around where I live NO Pharmacy sells Insulin.... Few years ago used to use 'Chula' Red Cross, [Leave home 4:30 rarely back before 16:00] stopped going there because of travel + Covid. but did go across to road Rama 4 to the cheaper Pharmacies to ask the price, cost 1,200 baht more expensive every 3 months. Hospitals just need to find a way to issue repeat prescriptions, would cut the waiting/people down a lot
  5. No as said bought 2 x 40 min packages [add ons] + 4 x phone calls 1st 18 mins was cut off 2nd 22 min said would call back but never did = Had to buy another package 2 days later 3rd call he spoke very bad English could not understand his security questions 4th call 27 mins, very helpful and all good.
  6. All have Overseas deals This time used AIS you buy a 40 min package = 3 baht per min [normal 7 baht] 0034 then 0044 etc Still had to buy a 2 nd package, total bill was 488 baht !! still took 20 days before my pension arrived in the Bank !! after the phone call and the man said he would approve my Pension for another 16 weeks + send the new Life forms by email
  7. DWP or Post Question......... After having my pension stopped, never received the Life Certificate so say sent in Jan 2023, returned the one sent by email on the 19th June by recorded delivery... So could track it... Long list until it arrived at Heathrow Royal Mail Sorting Office on 24th, as of today still says arrived at Heathrow 24th June.. Should I be worried ? expected it to be delivered in Wolverhampton by this time ? or is it only tracked as far as to UK ??
  8. Maybe runs in the family ? most of my Uncles and Ants [6 of them] were diabetic ... Here in Thailand. 2 friends both in there 60s and painfully thin are diabetic.... just up the Village, Thai friends for years. there all diabetic the old man 92, son 56, grandson 22 and grand daughter 26 all diabetic and all must take insulin daily, NON are over weight/fat Another Thai friend is well over weight but only take 1 x 500 mg Metformin a day, last week his Hospital visit FBS was 126. it has been around the same for past 5 years.
