Sorry. to hijack the Chiang Mai thread, but is there a similar business in Phetchabun or Phitsanulok? Thank you 🙏🏻

Hi, Will B, I am a keen follower of your advice, which is delivered in a very ‘no nonsense’ way with a hint of British humour? I’m from Highgate in North London. Sorry for being dim, but what does the acronym SWMBO mean? I can’t find a reference to it anywhere? Thanks and regards, Martin

Jakob, I’m sorry for the circumstances surrounding your need to ask this question but the answer, as you will have seen by other contributors is YES. However, one still has to appreciate that the RE-ENTRY permit has an expiry date perhaps linked to your Immigration Visa and it’s extension, so just be aware of this if you are, for any reason, contemplating a lengthy stay in your country.

'Diolch am y wybodaeth', jonesthepost, but I would have been grateful for a supplier name, rather than an opinion.

Is this prostate hyperplasia medicine available online in Thailand?

Quite right. These dates in the Thai calendar are to respect the passing of past kings: Chulalongkorn (Rama 5) and Bhumipol (Rama 9) so there is logic if you know something about the country you are living in!!

Crossy, Thanks so much for this article. It’s on order… We built a ‘modern loft’ house with cascading flat roofs and the pigeons seemingly wear hobnail boots - a nightmare 🤣 I’ll keep everyone posted on my Jedi success…

229 was the last price

itsari, I may be British but I live and work in Thailand and buy my Vegemite from Thai suppliers. God knows how expensive the product is in London! 🤣🙏🏻

Not true… I’m a Brit and prefer Vegemite to Marmite. It’s just a question of taste… 🙏🏻

Hi There… with a name like ‘the blather’ I guess you are north of the border. I’m originally from Largs so may I suggest that you tell your readers what ‘greeting’ is… 😂🤣 before you are asked to explain…

You’re so right, JB… Amazingly, as an amputee myself, I’ve only heard this joke a hundred times before… Do you do ‘stand up’ comedy? That’s another one for your repertoire… 555

Hi Baboy, Today, I’ve been speaking, for personal reasons, to Otto Bock in Bangkok and they inform me that Kenovo is an Otto Bock product and can be managed in Thailand, both at Bangkok and Khon Kaen… Edit by Crossy - Please PM for contact details

Hi Baboy, I too am an AK (above knee) amputee and came to Thailand many years ago with TWO prostheses, one being a ‘spare’. The prostheses are made with a number of components and mine includes a ‘knee joint’ made by a German company, Otto Bock, which is very clever, mechanically, and has a normal ‘swinging action’ which, cosmetically, looks like a normal walking gait. I have used this company in Bangkok and Khon Kaen, who have serviced the prostheses over the years, replacing the foot and servicing the knee. It is NOT cheap, but they also offer high-tech upgrades which include ‘bionic’ knees and are a very professional outfit. PM me for further contact details if interested. I do NOT represent the company. My suggestion would be to see if Otto Bock are represented in Australia and rely on their Thai facilities for local, prosthetics engineers.

Hi andygrr, This was the problem with my BlackVue DR650 in which the camera innards just collapsed with the heat. It was also why I bought a battery pack with a dtac annual SIM card which is now installed under the passenger seat. Works well so far, but I now receive about 400 messages a DAY about activity both in parked mode and driving which is sensitive to shutting the car doors and hatchback when ‘her that matters’ is out shopping… Does anyone out there know how to limit this reported activity? It’s driving me crazy (excuse the pun) but I can find nothing in the manual which addresses this. Cheers!
