also: You mentioned church? Perhaps a little fund drive for her expenses?

I’m sorry to hear about your friend.

But I can share a similar story that might offer some hope. My now Thai husband about 15 years ago suffered a stroke - due to HBP. He collapsed and was rushed to hospital in Phitsanulok. Luckily his employer had insurance (AIA) and they flew the best doctor up from Bangkok- They operated on him and put in 3 "plugs” on his broken brain blood vessels. He remained in a coma for 2 1/2 months. One night he woke up. He was fine. He has all his facilities except short-term memory problems and navigation. (navigation yeah-he's Thai and a Man so-- so you know )

He now takes HBP meds- but he lives a normal life.

BTW-The total cost billed to AIA was about 1 million baht.

PM anytime if you wish to talk

Congratts on your new home!

Just today we renewed our home insurance with Siam Commercial Bank. Replacement costs of 1 million baht. I wasn’t concerned about theft, as we don’t keep any cash or jewelry. My travel insurance covers for theft of electronics / ipods/ cameras.

This time, we bought 3 years for 4900 baht.

Hellohello

Scott123 are you an american?

I would recommend some nice places on Ko Ngai (southern most krabi)- you have to come though Trang in the "green" season tho.

Google:

Thapwarin

Coco's Cottage

Ko Ngai resort

Its very quiet here now- but still very nice and sunny.. for now..

Ao Nang is busier with more things open and YES! Railay is stunning!. good luck!

I have more of a problem with the Thai girls, then the farangs. "in season" Hubby and I work together so most farangs meet us as a couple. He's real shy and his English is very basic so, I dont think too much. The Thai's -well, ive gotten used to it by now, the stories I could tell you, like our next door neighbor--oh my! but now, I dont let it bother me too much. In fact I/we joke about it and after 5 years there is more understanding of how things work in this culture clash of our relationship. Speaking and understanding Thai helps greatly. I should add, It's SO MUCH easier after 5 years.

If only the next door neighbor would move....

Its very common practice here. I live in a house where our land is rented from the government , the land is grandfathered ---indefinitely. WE do have a tambian baan tho. And the best part is the prices have tripled in three years in our oceanfront village since we got ours.

Congratts to you both!

he is a darling!!!

sorry for my dealy- I dont get out much!!

HH

can you use your own car?

Dear sassie- sorry to hear of your woes.

I was searching on Thai visa some time ago and I found a great resource. Its a Pdf file with the published rights of Husband and wife in Thailand. I hope it helps. its a must read for all who have a spouse here.

Lets us know how you make out. HH

IVe used Haiter (bleach) on some bamboo walls- for mold- it works well. but i think all bamboo material has a short life here in thailand!

Hi Hush,

All of the diving that I know has been stopped. Sea too rough. The weather is on and off. Today is sunny (this early am we had rain) and my husband is out running an Island Tour. The general rule is it's calmer on the east coastlines and wavy on the west. The Sheraton Krabi, looks wonderfull, But i've never been. Check out perhaps the trip advisor website for reviews of the hotel.

Pm me if you want too. Kindly HH

i agree with lannarebirth, its done all the time where i live in krabi.

get permission and id say keep your farang face out of the picture.

ko ngai

Never seen it in Bangkok. Some of the beach tourists areas have large sizes - but poor quality. Perhaps a marks & spencer outlet? Ive seen larger sizes in dept stores in Malaysia. Good luck.

Thanks for your help!

We drive up 2marrow from Krabi. HH

thanks Nienke!

Foe more helpful advise on the this fourm.

kindly,

HH and Lulu

Thanks SO much ladies! Ironically as soon as I posted this, she got a wee bit better. but there still is a little discharge so I'll give the cream a try and watch her closely.

She did have a fever and / flu last week, but she is back to her ol' kitty self now. Are there different signs for the cat flu you speak of?

Would it be safe to give her the booster shots now ? or should I wait until it's ALL cleared up?

Kindly,

HH and Miss Lulu

My adolescent cat has received a good scratch to her eye and seems to have a slight infection. She still has a small gash very close to the socket. She has some discharge. Our vet is a 3-4-hour trip and I am wondering if I could possibly use some of my own antibiotic cream around her eye? Is this dangerous? Anything I should know? I have 3 different kinds of antibiotic creams, so if it were OK, what kind would work best?

BTW- she has been spayed – but she has NOT received her booster shots- we bought them, but they are in the fridge, we didn’t want to vaccinate her if she was ill.

Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Kindly, HH

What's the driving time between Ayutthaya and Kanchanaburi?

I’m also looking for... if any…a local coffee roasting /shop in /near Kanchanaburi? I went to a great place in Phitsanulok but I cant remember where or the name a few years back.. Any suggestions greatly helpful.

Kindly,

HH

Thanks to all- and to Rogerdee123. he had the magic answer.

once i change that setting for the airport extreme-- the rest worked fine.

you guys are awesome and so helpful.

THANK YOU kindly!

Thanks.. yeah I got the ibook working- but when I shut it down it lost all the settings -- luckily I did remember what he (from ToT) did! his english was real bad.. so yes, i'll spend a few hours trying to see if i can make the airport extreme work.. ( bridge)

PS. he knew nothing about Mac- he had to call a colleague who directed us to begin with my firefox browser.
