I can get antibiotics for only 150 baht at a local pharmacy. 1000 baht is ridiculous.

And what kind doesn’t matter.

Ridiculous.

The sign posted there tells all.

haven't ruled Lazada out, though, it's just that I'm a tad wary about reports of dodgy sellers on there.

Dodgy sellers reported on Amazon too.  Where are there none?

New Balance 990 series are running Shoes I have used for walking for decades,  light and good cushion.  Other models fit differently… for different feet.

Re-entry permit can be done at the airport itself.

 

Instructions from Moses say do as little as possible at airports

Don’t want to talk about it then do not include information about it.  Just simple question about payment, answer is yes.

rarely use a credit  card. Why use one?

Get points redeem for cash, hundreds of dollars a year.

Transfer at beginning of month not end of month then a bit late is less of an issue since it is in the correct month.

You do not have to use it in Thailand to keep it active you just have to use it.  Buy something on an Australian website,  have it sent to somebody as a gift or donation  2-4 times a year.  Bloody easy.

No that will just tell you if that one socket is wired correctly, it will not tell you if the whole house input is incorrect which is the topic.

CM Ram certainly has some good doctors and nurses (sometimes the same as at Bangkok hospital) but they have a long wait time to see doctors - and that is with an appointment also their parking situation shall we politely say needs improvement?

 

As for fees they are very similar, Bangkok hospital is slightly more. However, if you factor in time saved Bangkok hospital is much lower in cost - much lower... Unless you place no value on your time? I ma not retired and have children to pickup from school etc so time saved is very important to me - plus I like to minimize my time in hospitals..

 

Also Bangkok hospital has a more pleasant atmosphere.

 

But if you have a good doctor at CM Ram who you have been seeing for many years that alone is a good enough reason to stay.

 

 

Limited experiences and opinion do not make facts.

I’ve got from September 5 to October 31 to get my dental work done.  It’s probably my second priority, behind seeing if a house that my wife inherited in Hong Dong is worth fixing.  From what I understand, it doesn’t have much of a roof.  I’ll have to find someone to work on it or a recommendation here because two of my wife’s friends won’t go near the house because they think that it’s haunted by her ex husband, who died in the house.  I get into Chiangmai on September 3, a Saturday. Monday morning, I’ll work first on getting a Dental appointment, then go by the house, preferably with a builder, to see if it’s worthwhile fixing 

Too much information 

Try again tomorrow.

Bravo

I get all new fresh water pipes. And I told them I want the drainage pipes tested. But this is not yet in the contract. Do you know anybody who does such testing in Bangkok and how much it costs? 

Thanks for the reminder. 

Plumbers who installs new water pipe should test that installation for leaks.  He can probably test the drain piping too but takes more effort to seal open ends for the pressure test.

Good boy Jimmy you found the answer that was sitting in front of you.  Now go to the hospital.

in my case, it has to do with heart rhythm problems.

Go to the hospital now.  That can be deadly.

Something to do with buying on one year contract vs outright purchase.  Outright purchase should be no problem or cost using old number.  Purchase contract may have many unusual conditions, unknown to most.

Need to know contract details or suggest not buying on contract.

Buddhists are welcome at AA meetings.  Here Thai Buddhists go to meetings.

I gave the name of the road which limits the choice to one I believe.

Yes you did fine, very clear, and even came up with an uncommon word, gurudwara.  
 

Thank you.  No offense.  I was just offering some clarification because I like Sikhs and their temples.

Washer is enough.  Tape tapered threads.  Taps and those hoses are not tapered threads. Not good practice, unnecessary.
