  1. most expensive Android phone available I notice is the Z flip Galaxy @ 59,900 baht at AIS but at Samsung Thailand online Galaxy Z Fold ฿65- ฿75,900.00 ?? My Vivo 3,200 baht phone is over 4 years old and has been perfect until about a month ago, could not hear anything . only with the speaker on, then the beep sound for messages stopped, last weekend the speaker started missing words = went to the shop..... They had a number of brand new phones which had not sold in the back room..... So went with the Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro, they unpacked it and undated it so is on Android 10 + transferred everything from the old phone = total cost 2,499 baht.. Always worth asking it the have any unsold phones and get a deal
  2. If you move the ',' then maybe would look at it starting @ 3,700 baht would be in my price range ???? cant see the point of paying over 3,500 baht. for a phone
  3. Will use the dentist, filling dropped out of the back upper tooth earlier this year. Government Local Hospital said no good must come out > 2 injections > tooth pulled > total bill 328 baht...
  4. Everyone is different + what they eat effects Blood Sugar, there is NO one Diabetic Diet fits all I did not have Pre Diabetes, when I 1st went to the Dr in UK my reading was 32.6 here that is around 600 mg/dl Went to one Diabetic class, teacher stated drinks all you want of Diet drinks !!! I followed what was advised years ago, take your blood finger prick test before eating every meal then again 2 hours after eating, after 6 months or so you know what food spikes your blood sugar, so can reduce that item or cut it out all together.. some things I can eat where others will spike + the other way round As for Diet Cola/Pepsi drinks not had for years, same with added salt + reduced Red Meat to 1 x week... 2015 was at Stage 5 CKD, told by the Dr try cutting these out, or go on Dialyses, no way so cut them out, past 6 years been just under Stage 3 CKD
  5. Think you need to read up on Diabetes I am from England Diabetic over 35 years, so tend to read up on the NHS websites https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/enjoy-food/eating-with-diabetes/food-groups/sugar-and-diabetes#:~:text=You don't need to,diabetes is a bit complicated. Can diabetics eat food with sugar? You don't need to cut out sugar from your diet if you have diabetes Diabetic hypoglycemia occurs when someone with diabetes doesn't have enough sugar (glucose) in his or her blood. Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body and brain, so you can't function well if you don't have enough sprinkles sugar on French Fries = No but then as I have CKD [kidney problem] I do not sprinkles Salt on French Fries ether
  6. Its cousin looks no better. just cost 2 million less and of course has a Toyota badge.... still the same engine 2.5 HEV The 7.5 million Lexus LM350H Executive has 4 seats.. the VIP has 7 seats and cost 1 million less
  7. Yes they have, oddly some diabetic are like bean poles, I visit my Hospital diabetic department every 3 months, 50% of diabetic there are small or under weight.. 3 friends [ladies] that are old 60 - 75 are on insulin 2 x day are short and painfully skinny.. the house next door the Father is 83 and 6 house up the Village the Father is 91 both on Insulin and skinny, There is only 63 houses in the Village, yet 50% are Diabetic mixed ages and weight.. Often it appears the Father + Son + Grand children are all diabetic
  8. Maybe another issue is where you live ? Last month bought a Drum for my Printer - Brothers DR1000 They sent Brothers DR630... = to long will not fit, reported it and got the return labels, only the Delivery driver will not take it as most phone/take it to there depot = phoned they gave me the address of the depot were it must go to As I live out in the sticks = mostly always buy everything on-line.... the address of the depot is 50 km from were I live to do 100 km return trip will cost far more than the item is worth so it is sat here, it is not the 1st from Lazada or Shopee for that matter on the other hand re topic buy from Advice is delivered next day. [as was my Brother DR1000 as I needed it ]
  9. After the last Topic about Masks I took notice more, very rarely see anyone without a mask.... Sunday afternoon went to Makro lots of people shopping only noticed 3 people without masks, maybe the area ? did not notice any other non Thais there People that walk up/down the Village all appear to wear there masks
  10. Yes that is why I keep that slip of paper in my passport, even if it is over 10 years old, no one has asked for a new one, had plenty of 90 day reports in 10 years + 10 yearly extensions
  11. Yes same here........ Detached house had build in 2003 March 2013 doing my 90 day report they Immigration wanted the house owners i.d. copy and House book and copy. drove home and got it [always have copies in draw] got 90 day report + another same size slip stapled in Passport, always keep that 2nd slip in Passport, still in new passport [5 years ago] + new 90 day report every 90 days, never been asked for a TM30 or any questions about TM30 Have asked before on here a few years ago, but just as confused there was many different answers, appears the TM 30 last for life it you do not move ?? never had any questions asked on yearly extensions so just let sleeping dog be as they say..... Likewise stay out of province or any hotel, my partner checks us in never shown my passport in 20 years
  12. Have a Fish Pond . now 20 years, in the early years had many makes/bands of cheaper pumps Only one stands out and have been using for some years 'RESUN KING 6' Pump capacity: 8500 L/H also have a 'RESUN KING 4' mine run 24/7 365 days a year Knock the front cover off and connected a 1 and 1/4 PVC pipe direct to my filters [ home made 3 large square rubbish bins
  13. serious allergic reaction to Tetanus
  14. serious allergic reaction after my 1st injection in Hospital for 5 days = Dr said Do Not have the 2nd part of the Vaccine Never had smallpox or vaccine as a kid Advised not to get any Covid Vaccine, so never had + never had Covid. There are few of us that just cannot take Vaccines + for me many Med's that also have serious allergic reaction, is so difficult must read and re read label's [do web search etc] mostly always see the same Dr but odd times is a different Dr if the Med's are different must do a search as to 100% what is in them
  15. As everyone still wears masks how can anyone know if you smile at them ??
  16. Websites will show content in your preferred languages, when possible Add languages 1. English (United Kingdom) This language is used when translating pages 2. English This language is used to display the Google Chrome UI 3. English (United States) 4. Thai
  17. No idea... for me on Format > the drop down menu has many English, I just clicked UK English Windows 10 and Google Browser just checked mine has 42 different places in English around the world as well as UK English
  18. 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
  19. 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.
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. 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.
  23. 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
