Thai food in general is acidic - plus most of us eat lots of fruit, also acidic....

 

Local beer is, virtually, all made with fermented rice so thats another trigger

Thailand has a high use of MSG which is banned in many countries, it is used liberally by Thai street Vendors.  

In addition you should be as a priority checked out for Helicobacter Pylori which is a common stomach irritation / infection eventually causing stomach ulcers and possible cancer, look it up!  Fortunately it can be easily cured in many cases by a course of specific antibiotics.

I’ve had 2 or 3 messages from “Apple” telling my Apple ID was frozen and will be shut down unless I confirm account by clicking the provided link.

Checked ID by downloading an app from App Store and it’s fine. Mine was definitely a phishing attempt. I think yours is too. Save any data you have on a remote device just in case.

Block sender or report as phishing

HI, i use iPads/iPhone. I am inundated with spam/phishing what can I do ?

Block sender or report as phishing

If on Windows 10, then just clear web history, then block that email sender or report as phishing, then start up Windows Defender (it has its own built in Anti virus etc, use that.) and finally restart in Safe mode

Thats it!

Having owned several printers, I think you will find it hard to find anyone to repair this and for the repair to last!!   As you can purchase a printer / scanner for just a few thousand baht, do you want to waste money on a bodge repair.

Having said that, have a look yourself, it is most likley the cog fitted to a rubber band  that has a problem.

Dont sit at theback, suspensions on these mini buses are generally useless, get a window seat and take a pillow!

Where is the clown sitting on top!!

Trigger happy killers, untrained and just fire for little thought to the consequences!!

Why make such a fuss!

You you to be a mind reader to have seen this 6 months ago! Too little action, too late! 

Reduce Thailand's base rate and re-introduce commercial currency restrictions would help!

I have alll my life walked quite quickly, however spare a thought to people who have health issues, for example I have back issues and muscle atrophy and literally cannot walk quickly at all, if I try then over I go!  So please just remember its as annoying for me as its it might be for you.  Thanks

I've always used Express Mail, Thai Post, trackeable immediately to time of end delivery, 3-4 days and only about 120 Baht.

Hi, I'm asking for help ref my driving licence.

I'm not in good health currently, so I was hoping I could avoid the issues of doing it myself.

So can I have sugestions and perhaps cost of where to get this effected. (Pattaya Area) (Thai 5 year licence renewal)

Thanks

Yes, there is sand except at high tide, then its limited. Of course you can sit in "certain" areas on the sand for free, it can be very hot and little shade, inclusive of hawkers, (mind out for horse poo etc) but if you want say 2 chairs and an umbrella you are looking at 300 bht+  in addition you must watch your kids in the water as currents can be strong.  The water like most places in Thailand can be very dirty etc.

Alternatively you can use the "Hilton" pay say 200 baht, get several pools with lifeguards, a shallow kids pool, very clean chairs, towels, showers, toilets, no nuisance hawkers plus security....all overlooking the beach down a few steps etc...to me it seems the best of everything?

I have used the Hilton pool on many occasions, walk in like u own the place and enjoy.

Yes, you can do this, but to be honest what with chairs on the beach costing 150 a day and if four of you = 600 baht.  I am more than happy to slip the security 200 baht which they are happy about, they go off get me towels etc and everyone is happy!

I have a pair of Phonak's.  I have had Phonaks in the past an from what I am told all of the other brands are constant service problems.  My pair I bought "used" on ebay I suspect they were a demo pair from an audiologist.  I sent him my audiogram and he programmed them.  I got the rechargeable model and I can tell you I would never go back to the ones constantly changing batteries.  The charge lasts about 2 days.  You plug them in and within 1 hour they are fully charged. 

Yes, I have the same, however I would still use a dehumidifier / dryer box sometimes, £10 on Ebay.

In the past, taking into account the high rental price of beach chairs, I have asked the Hilton beach pool security if I can use there pool and chairs and had a great time, especially as the pool looks out onto the beach, sometimes paid the front desk, sometimes "security" (who are very happy to pay them) and occasionally they just say okay!

I agree OTICONS, and SIGNIA are good, in every area similar to PHONAKS, except the latest PHONAKS are rechargeable life guarantee and as no battery compartment to open, do not have an issue with humidity as they are sealed units...Regardless I still use an electric dehumidifier. The problem most do not realise is that as your hearing deteriorates, the importance of a professional setting up and regular adjustments which can only be effected by a computer set up. Even BPH cannot set up hearing aids, they can only effect hearing tests etc.

WHAT!

Yes, that is correct, rechargeable type with best range for extreme hearing loss, if you don't need this type, then you can purchase from as little as £250.  please keep it in context, and I mean that at BPH you see a representative from hearing firms brought down from Bangkok weekly. They sell out of date Phonaks for triple the UK price. After seeing them the first thing I did was check them on the internet only to see "discontinued "

Of course it's up to you, but why buy for example DEMEDs when you can see they are poor, look them up on internet, many issues.... Good luck!

The name  is DEMED, I am a regular visitor to there, I have purchased  2 hearing aids from there that are, constantly breaking down.    Hearing aids in a tropical country suffer due to sweat getting into the microphone among other things,   (behind the ear models), i have found places in the USA and UK that supply sweat covers for these hearing aids & they do work, so much so that i forgot that i had left one hearing aid in its box, in my shorts pocket, & put it into the washing machine, next morning it still  worked..

You may be correct, however I never ever had any issues with Phonaks, I did though buy on Ebay an electric drying dehumidifier  box for about £10. My hearing aids can be worn in the rain as well, no issues!

There is a hearing clinic right next to D Pharmacy on the southbound carriageway of Sukhumvit right where the motorway slip road joins Sukhumvit

But no testing equipment, she told me she sets them up by her knowledge?
