Passport business started about a year ago in both Banks and post Office... Silly lived here 21 years always use same banks and post office .. very few foreigners here out in the sticks, most of the staff are the same, Bank is only 2 windows mostly only 1 older Lady teller open [seen 100's of times]....... Same with Post Office send a EMS mail letter in Thailand cost 34 baht need Passport !!! And NO never carry my Passport on local trips.. my Thai DL is OK but is still si9lly

Don't see the point of wearing a watch, my mobile always has the correct time + always with me My Rolex is in its case, looked at if at the weekend, last worn about 25 years ago, also have a Citizen Gold watch also never wear my wrist appear smaller these days, so if I did wear would have to have a link or 2 taken out on both straps

Can you do it with you eyes closed ? Somehow appears to be getting worse, say in the shower washing hair and face with eyes closed on 2 legs will lose my balance. Standing still and thinking about it with eyes open can balance on one leg OK aged 74

Likewise, friend pointed me to Kingsoft Office, in the 90's later became WPS Office. never use anything other than WPS FREE to download and use

What happened to the above ground waterway plans of 2012 ??

Some places clean there beaches every morning

What do you expect ? Someone built a dirty big Airport on the run off area, water has so run off somewhere

This Morning from Lazada ? Delivery failed Sorry, your package delivery was unsuccessful. Your package will be returned to the store. The customer wishes to cancel the order. [ Sai Noi ] Why ? NOT cancelled by me, No phone call. No one tried to deliver ? Not been out + on the gate is a bell which is very loud

Any chance you get a State Pension ? Have you a letter from them address to you in Thailand ?

Search 'Are There Countries Without Internet Access ' > Yes look it up there is lots Then you come to Internet Cafes, or rather the lack of them or Countries where there banned Last time I was visiting the USA, None there, also at that time there was over 83% of the USA with no internet access.. I had to drive a long way to a Library to use the internet + in the daytime when they were open !.

Mine is on the left this morning HATE it, almost blind in the left eye so a great problem 😒

when Pension not arrived so have to call, then they always say sent in January, so my next ? due? life certificate date is Jan 2025. guess they will again send snail post, only ever received 1 some 15 months late !! [from UK post mark stamp]

1st time a Thai friend in the Village, the last 3 times my Partner, uses work address and rubber stamp, next one due in Jan 2025

What is testosterone juice ??

Need help again So now for a week prescribed Atenetol 50 MG Morning GPO HTCZ 25 mg Evenings again the top number has come down to around 130 [down from months of 160 +] problem is the 2 number was high 70s > is down to 57 - 60 too LOW ? Which Med's are making the 2nd reading so low ?? or is 130/57 OK ? Going back over my charts last time it was 121/79 was back in May 2016

Easy for some, maybe got the answer yesterday. long term Thai friend is visiting, they tried with my phone scan the barcode on the PC > worked perfectly, yet when I tried and tried could not login.. They said is my hands that are the problem, had for some years have something called 'familial tremor' so cannot hold my phone still when trying to scan... so used to it never thought about it, so maybe is the reason cannot ever log-in ?? Worried for years as Parkinson's runs in the family

No not the only one, friend in the Village much younger than me is only 60 has no idea, or his wife retired yesterday has a problem try to make it work, there Son 20's can but has a problem when trying to use my phone... 2 others in the Village that I know both in there 80's also have no idea Likewise trying to pay bills with SCB, [scan bill] even taken phone into the Bank and they cannot make it work, Works on Bangkok Bank, but use SCB for everyday uses... maybe is my phone ? but is Android 10 Maybe the phone ? don't use much as far to small cannot see - much easier on my 32" PC Monitor

this Bar Code Scan me things is beyond me.... friend set me up on my Smartphone, long ago + instructions, cannot work it out friend set me up with ''Line' also long ago + beyond me, no matter how often over the past years have tried just cannot get past or make the scan me Barcode work. Seeing as most people of all ages have there head buried in the phones, amazes me how long some take to try to make the scan me payment at Makro going cashless = NO, is OK for the younger people that understand and can remember what to do,

Present one Oker' webcam had it for 13 years perfect clear, never a problem Before had Logitech more expensive and had to have 3 in about 20 years

Also in UK was common to have new bodies on older Coaches, we also have a new body single body coach that used to be a double decker.. main give away was the crash box, but as I learnt to drive buses with crash boxes so was in heaven Main problem on a Diesel is the turbo, which can explode > also a disadvantage of the rear engine buses as you cannot hear, [must keep a eye on the turbo booster gauge]

OK this thread is old, bit lost Expensive ? I asked in my local Pharmacy yesterday 500g = 10 baht per bag... I was told may help Diabetic foot pain much worse in bed. add some Epsom Salts to warm water and soak feet for 15 mins B4 bed Is there different types of Epsom Salts ??

Have no problem injecting twice a day - have done so for years + well under control Insulin I use supplied from the Hospital Pharmacy cost 425 baht for 5 vials of 300 units of insulin per pen [less than 100 baht per 300 unit Vial] If ever in BKK and need some supplies then use MD Pharmacy speak good English or CHULA BHESAJ PHARMACY -Brother [speaks perfect English]+ 2 Sisters both next to each other on Rama 4. I still use finger pricks, the Lancets price is mind boggling Hospital 1,200 baht per 100, some Pharmacies up to 2,450 baht, I get them from the same place for some years last month 826 baht..... ALL same branded name same box and amount, how can some stay in business or do business changing 3 x the amount ?

Yes but again is which Pharmacy. Pharmacy I use for other thing is good and cheap, nearest to me is very expensive eg: last week went in to get 3" x 3" gauge pack 16 baht, my normal Pharmacy is 7 bahr same brand /size so over double the price. Found over the years prices vary in different Pharmacys even one next door to each other + some by a lot.

Yes maybe will do if the Hospital has none. will ask to go back on ACE blockers all Meds appear cheaper at the Hospital pharmacy + Most important to me is Insulin have tried over the years every Pharmacy within a 15 km radius NOT one sells Insulin, so have to get at the Hospital, 18 km away is one Pharmacy that sells but cost double the Hospital price... No idea if my reasoning is true - if I had to be taken to Hospital, then all Med's are on Hospital file

Guess side effects they all caused bad feet swelling after a month after 6 months had all legs swollen, ended up in a wheelchair as the pain was so bad. Chula Hospital after many visits put me back on Atenotol 50 mg with Enalapril Maleate 20mg [taking this since 1991 - 2015 + 2018 - end 2020] Sai Noi Hospital, in 2021 did not stock so put on Losartan
