Has any one else been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea ?
bamboozled replied to Captain Disorderly's topic in Health and Medicine
I think Bangkok Hospital has it on their website and last time I looked it was about 17k But that was a few years ago. I think someone told me 15k at the Geriatric hospital but again, that was a few years ago. I could of course give a call and know exactly in about 3 minutes. -

bamboozled replied to Captain Disorderly's topic in Health and Medicine
In college I knew a girl with a forked uvula. No joke, no reading between the lines, no innuendo., She really had a forked uvula, split in the middle like a snakes tongue. No idea if she has sleep apnea. -

Hey there Capt. I don't have an answer to your inquiry but wondered if you could share what you paid for the sleep test? I've been wanting to get one for years but keep putting if off...one reason being I don't want to pay up. That is, Cheap Charlie coupled with my own diagnosis that I probably don't have apnea. But, of course, what do I know. I just know I am always tired and sleep poorly. Thanks! -
I rented an Aerox recently. Fine enough but the headlight coverage at night is horrendous. Sounds silly, perhaps, but it has a very narrow field of illumination. If you are on a windy, mountain road, lots of curves, it becomes very noticeable as you are turning blindly around sharp curves. The headlight doesn't throw out enough to the sides. It might not matter in a lot of situations but you wouldn't want to drive it to Pai at night, for example. You can't see around the curves. Anyone else have this experience?

I've heard they're relocating the airport inside. -
TM 6 scrapped for good?
bamboozled replied to thecyclist's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes....or $10 USD. If you have proof of Covid vax, bring it. I didn't have my proof and they let me in anyway but they do fill out a form about it. Sigh... -

I just filled one out yesterday walking back in from Tachilek. -
I can think of a few worse things but point taken. Cheers!

The only issue with running off the internet is there are some spots without service. Lampang, I'm looking at you... This is a topic of interest to me. My car is 12 years old so no blue tooth but I can plug the phone into a mini-jack and run through AUX mode on the radio. All is fine until I have to charge the phone via the cigarette lighter. Then I get tons of interference from the car engine and it's pretty horrible. Anyone else have this problem? My workaround so far was to buy a power bank and when on long journeys I power the phone through that and no interference and it's plenty big to last for days, I've found. But....anyone else have this issue?

The mechanic quoted me 5k and insurance said I could claim it if I wanted. Minus the 3k deductible. I'm not sure it's worth claiming to save 2k and perhaps have a premium increase down the road.

Thanks for the reply, Richard. I've never seen a display like that. Pretty nifty and not something I'll have to worry about with my oldie but goodie Mazda. Actually, a mechanic I contacted wants to see a photo of the crack...as if perhaps he can repair it. BUt it's a very large crack and I think will spread quickly. It's already 12 inches long, at least. Cheers!

Thank you both. I will ask my insurance about it, too. I do have first class with a 3000 baht deductible but I know in the US windshields are replaced for "free". We'll see what first class really means. Those prices are not insanely expensive so looks like I won't have to sell the kids if insurance doesn't pay. Richard, what's the "heads-up-display" and what were other differences between the OEM and non-OEM? Or is that the only difference, the distorted display? I don't think my Mazda has that...

Hi-ya good people, I just got a big crack on my 2010 Mazda 3 windshield and I'm sure sooner or later replacement will be necessary. Does insurance usually cover this here? If not, anyone have experience on ballpark costs for such a thing? Many thanks, Bamboozled.

I don't know the requirements but remember your visa, if based on marriage, is voided pretty much immediately, if I'm not mistaken.

What to seal these concrete blocks with, please?

You need a one-block high wall around that infection! -
What to seal these concrete blocks with, please?
bamboozled replied to bamboozled's topic in DIY Forum
Hi all, thanks for the back and forth.... I've been away building walls and moving stuff. I have the holes up, right or wrong. Yes, only one layer high. I have a waterproof tarps for walls that later on down the road I might turn into something beefier but for now it will do as long as I secure it well (wind! Last night was the first time to experience that since building it and I see the room I've created is a big sail). It ain't pretty but it was pretty cheap. The tarp is on the outside of the blocks so they won't get rained into. I don't know that I need to bother capping it since I can't even see from the outside as it's covered by the tarp. All this is a work in progress so we'll see. Now....back to moving stuff. Man, what a workout! -

No, the whole place floods. The yard, the street, everything. It drains off quick enough... I suppose if I owned the house and had the money, I could raise the whole area a foot or so but it's a rental. -

Thanks all. The water doesn't get that high as the carport is already raised a bit. Only has to hold back a couple inches at most so not a big issue. I've already laid some without mixing anything in to the mortar and def paying attention to getting a good bead down on the bottom and between the bricks. Can I go back over all the joints a second time with the mortar as if it were spackle/caulking to make sure it's water tight? So some say I should invest in a waterproofing cover and some say not. Can we get a consensus? Will the bricks fall apart from getting wet? -

Awesome, thanks. I'm only going one block high...I'm just building a barrier wall trying to keep flood water out of my carport which happens a few times during the rainy season in the big downpours. I laid some yesterday and luckily did put them hollow side up but was thinking rain water is going to get in the hollow spaces now. They are so porous, will the weather destroy them? I don't care that much about the aesthetic, that's not a concern. I just don't want the water flowing over the carport which I want to use for storage. -
Good morning, I am making a small wall with these concrete blocks but am pretty ignorant. I've got the mortar already and in fact have already started but....which way do the blocks sit, hollow part up or down? What do I cap it with...do I need to cap it? And lastly, do I need to seal it with a layer of cement or stucco or paint to keep out moisture/water damage? Thank you!

Convert carport into storage area...advise please?

Personally, I don't hire them. I've always lived in rentals and it is the landlords that hire them. And I'm sure they hire the cheapest they can find. Also, I don't think they mind that much when things are done half-assed because they are used to it and it doesn't bother them. Well, one of my houses, the landlords lived right next door and kept good care of the house. Any problem and they would call their trusty "engineer" as they referred to him. He could do anything and everything, and anything and everything badly.
