Hi all. Up until recently I had an accident insurance policy with K-bank. Now too old for them. I'm 77. Any info on insurance companies or brokers I can try for an accident only police will be most appreciated.

Thanks. Mal.

Where are the "ladies" & "clients" going to purchase the necessary if not on Beach Road ? looks like it goes all hand in hand to me.

Are you over 70 years of age ?

Should, will this, make a difference ?

Just a thought. Why not call Emirates & ask. But alternatively you could check online.   

You can carry the Brother GS2700 sewing machine as hand luggage on Emirates only if it meets their size and weight limits: max 55 x 38 x 22 cm and 7 kg for Economy Class.

Here's what you need to know:

✈️ Emirates Hand Luggage Rules (Economy Class)

• Size limit: 55 cm x 38 cm x 22 cm
• Weight limit: 7 kg
• Only one item allowed — no additional personal item like a handbag or laptop bag

🧵 Brother GS2700 Sewing Machine Dimensions

• Approximate size: 44 cm (W) x 19 cm (D) x 37 cm (H)
• Weight: Around 6.5 kg (machine only, without packaging)

This means the GS2700 technically fits within Emirates’ size and weight limits, but there are a few caveats:

⚠️ Practical Considerations

• Packaging: If you carry it in a box or padded case, the total dimensions may exceed the limit.
• Security screening: You’ll need to remove the machine for inspection, and it may be subject to additional checks.
• Cabin space: It must fit in the overhead bin or under the seat — if cabin crew deem it too bulky, they may require you to check it in.

✅ Tips for Smooth Travel

• Use a compact, soft-sided carry case to stay within size limits.
• Weigh your bag before heading to the airport to ensure it’s under 7 kg.
• Arrive early and speak with Emirates staff at check-in to confirm cabin approval.
• Consider checking it in if you’re carrying other items or if the machine is boxed.

Just as a matter of interest, why would you want to overnight, 6 hours, in Isaan,  if you're flying from DM ?

What airport are you departing from ?

"Thai plumbing standards"  ?  Like not flushing toilet paper ?

Give it a go & let us know what happens !

I call Australia using mytello frequently. Extremely cheap. I've contacted them for advice & always respond within 20 minutes or so. Very happy with them.

Terrible for Keto because there's no fats required for cooking?

 

I get fats from dairy ... sometimes eat a small chunk of butter raw straight up. So no need to cook in fats? 

 

Sorry, not so. I'm strict Keto & OMAD. I use a paper or teflon dish, basket to hold my meat. No wash up, just throw the paper container away or wash the teflon container. I drizzle MCT oil on the pork, chicken or whatever prior to cooking. Same time as I sprinkle herbs, spices on. Pepper, salt, maybe ginger or garlic powder. Plus wharever else I'm in the mood for. Works a treat.

The Australian embassy might contact his family. Nothing more. They won't create a precedent.

🎶 If you're hunting for music posters in Thailand, you've got some solid options both online and offline:

🛒 Online Stores

• Lazada Thailand: Offers a wide range of music posters with free delivery and cash-on-delivery options. Great for mainstream and niche designs.
• TeePublic: Features unique, artist-designed posters including Thai-themed music art—think Muay Thai rock mashups or Thai flag guitars.
• Redbubble: Known for indie and custom designs. You’ll find posters inspired by Thai music culture, vintage instruments, and even quirky mashups like frog musicians.

🏙️ Offline Spots to Explore

• Chatuchak Market (Bangkok): A treasure trove for art, music, and vintage finds. Some stalls specialize in posters and prints.
• Indie record stores like Fatblack Records or ZudRangMa Records often carry music-themed art and posters.
• Art galleries or pop-up markets in Chiang Mai or Bangkok may feature local artists selling music-inspired prints.

If you’re after something ultra-specific—say, Thai psychedelic funk or vintage concert posters—I can help you narrow it down. Want to go niche or keep it mainstream?

A Thai friend recently posted a professional looking video saying how proud Thailand was to be 95% Buddhist.

Just had a quick look and Cambodia is 97% Buddhist.

 

 

 

So Cambodia win ?

Just unlucky !

OFX. If deal lodged in early morning, business hours, in my K-bank by mid afternoon.

Robinsons. HomePro. Global House. Take a small magnet with you when you go to shop. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot, it's induction friendly.

I've gone to   Talk 360.

Several purchases. Happy with all.
