Best Glucometer (blood sugar) in Thailand?
billd766 replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in Health and Medicine
I have been using an Accu Chek Active for about 18 months now. I do a blood sugar check every Monday morning first thing. Most of the time I am in the pre diabetic stage with the readings between 5.6 mmol/L or 101mg/dl up to 6.8mmol/L and 123mg/dl, but sometimes it goes past that into the red area of 7.2 or 130. It normally goes back down a week or 2 later. The lancets are mostly common but the test strips can vary from model to model of the tester. I am fortunate enough not to need or use insulin. -
Good fortune: PM Paetongtarn’s assets exceed 13 billion baht
billd766 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
So why do you care? It is not your country, you don't even have a voice or a vote in Thailand, and there are far richer people in Thailand, but I don't see you taking a pop at them. -

Including many other Thai families who actually live in Thailand, yet nobody here seems to be complaining about them. -
Thai woman seeks justice after lantern sets her car ablaze
billd766 replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
Good idea. Just blame the victim even though it was not her fault, but the fault of the idiot who sent the lantern aloft without thinking about the damage it can do. -
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's Assets
billd766 replied to anchadian's topic in General Topics
And naturally you have the proof of this and will hand over that proof to the NACC. Of course if you don't have any proof of your allegations, why did you bother to post in the first place? -
They do.

I sent my passport to an agent last year, who did all the work for a reasonable fee, including the payment to the Passport office in the UK, and it was back along with a new one in 3 weeks. If IIRC the charge was about 5,000 baht and far less traveling time. My travel costs were the 6km journey to the Thai post office and back once instead of getting my wife to drive me 350km each way to BKK plus an overnight stay, twice.

Russia Dismisses Proposed Peace Deal from Trump Transition Team

Do you have any links or facts for what you are claiming? Or is everybody just supposed to take your words as fact and the truth? -
Russia Dismisses Proposed Peace Deal from Trump Transition Team
billd766 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Is RT a propaganda arm of the Russian government? Also according to the internet RT is banned from Meta. Yet you seem to believe it. Perhaps it is you that is incorrect. -
Thank you for that. However I don't think he did that alone. As for free school lunches expanded to seven-to-11-year-olds, when I went to both Junior and Senior schools in the 1950s in Poole, I was on free school lunches back then, and that was 70 odd years ago. Back in the 1950s and 60s there were apprenticeships. So while he may be doing the right thing, he is a long way behind on other things. And the people in Poole local council and also Dorset county council never got a mention, they also did not get elevated to a knighthood. They simply did their job.

What a pity you could not be bothered to follow through with your explanation. For an offence to be stopped it first has to be seen. Only then can the police intervene. It seems from the OP, that the RTP tried to stop the stupid young tourist, who then assaulted the policeman, who in turn took the sky lantern away. The RTP showed restraint which the tourist did not, and no charges were laid though they could have been.

Scott Jennings. It is so very easy to criticise when you personally are not capable of doing the job yourself. Whether what you claim is true or not, only the future can tell. At the last presidential election the US electorate voted for a convicted criminal, a convicted sex offender and a serial liar to become POTUS. Was it a good idea? Only the future can tell.

Well there are approximately 34 million Thai males ranging from new borns to elders in Thailand. Please explain and give a percentage of the number of farangs attacked in Thailand compared to the 34 million Thai males that actually attacked the number of farangs that you seem to have no idea about. Then explain to all and sundry if it was more than 17 million Thai men + 1 which would give a more accurate representation of your ridiculous claim. Please don't forget to add all the verified links as well. BTW, a majority is normally 50% plus 1.

Why not ask Prayuth? After all it was his illegal military coup government that sold the rice off. -
Former Thai PM Yingluck May Escape Prison if 5-Year Sentence is Reduced
billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Of course there is. Don't you find it suspicious that both Thaksin and Yingluck were both overthrown in separate military coups and both were charged and convicted in courts owned by the military? It has been said that a fish rots from the head down. in a play by William Shakespeare, one character says "There is something rotten in the state of Denmark". It could equally to the state of Thailand nowadays.

Teenager Dies After Gun Misfire in Samut Prakan
billd766 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Bangkok News
I can remember at range firing practice when I was in the RAF. It ran something like this; Gun fires, gun stops 1 remove the magazine, if it is empty you ran out of ammunition. 2 remove the magazine, if it is NOT empty, work the cocking mechanism 4 or 5 times, always pointing the weapon down range. 3 Cock, lock and look. Cock the weapon, lock with the safety catch on, point the weapon up and forward, put your thumb into the chamber and look for daylight on your thumbnail. If you see daylight the barrel is clear. If not call the range master to deal with it. 4 NEVER turn around with a weapon in your hands and point it. I saw that happen once, and the range master simply kicked the guy as hard as he could before the guy could turn around very far. Nasty dangerous things guns. NEVER to be used as toys or as "look at me. I am a big man with a gun". Out of curiosity, does anybody know if homemade guns have a safety catch?
