I've eaten lots of different grains and at no time has rolled wheat ever tasted like "Cream of Wheat." Like I said, this is one of those, "Geez whiz, I really feel like having a bowl of good old fashioned Cream Of Wheat. I'm just indulging myself. But I appreciate the suggestion.

Pretty much nowadays is what is inside? At a minimum an Intel i7 processor, an SSD hard-drive, and 8GB RAM. Go from there. If it gets the job done, I'm not picky about manufacturer or brands.

I looked on Lazada but the cheapest (473 THB) only had one left in stock. Tried Shopee and found it for 479 THB including shipping for the 794 gram box and they had a lot in stock. Pricey though. At current exchange rates that's about $13.60 for a box. Speaking of currents, I'll have to add in the cost of the raisins too (which I already have). This is just one of those "I just wanna have some" moments. A 29oz box is about $6.00 in the US. Cooked with raisins and drizzled with butter and cream. Yum. I'll savor every morsel. Priceless!

I've had a hankering for some Cream of Wheat lately. I usually check to see if any is in stock when I go to retail stores in Chiang Mai, but haven't seen any lately (last visit at Rimping Nim Plaza was a zero as well). This is something I'd usually get at Kasem or Rimping, but can't say I've seen it stocked lately. Has anyone seen Cream of Wheat for sale in Chiang Mai in the last month?

Any given experience with Immigration will be determined by the district, the office, the time, the day, the mood of office, the mood of an individual IO..... in other words, immigration law and its application are not uniform across Thailand at any given time or place.

No

They are busting people who look like Thais to most farang. It's not like Joe Sixpack is out there selling somtum in a motorcycle cart.

I'd just use a credit card to purchase an airline ticket.

50K is a self-limiting number. I don't make transactions in excess of that amount other than deposits made by US SSA. So personally, I think I'll just leave it as it is. It's an extra layer of security.

Every year there are attacks on the efficient and efficacy of the Thai Health System, which in my humble opinion is one of the best public healthcare systems on the planet. What is really being said is that there are vested interests who want the entire system privatized. Then it will go to Hell in a hand-basket. Look at the NHS. I've seen our local Amphur hospital care for 200 people in a day, and 125+ in the first 4 hours. It ain't broken. But there are people who want to break it and then suck the life out of it.

Try installing Libre Office for Windows. Try opening the Thai .docx file. If it works, re-save it as .docx format with a different name and then try Word again.

After Many Decades Living in Thailand (or Asia), ... Do You Sometimes Dream of your First Wife....Left Back in the "Old Country"? Do you dream VIVID Dreams about her, too? No. In fact I seldom think of that cheating *****, except your OP stirred my memory. I don't dream about her at all.

I bought mine from Lazada. No problems.

It's Thailand's answer to population control.

I ordered on last night

Just print out Forms 29 and 30 and take them with you. https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?page_id=3202

He can leave his cardboard cutouts that the Thai citizens know and love.

And you are asking to get hooked on short-half-life benzodiazapines. Trust me as someone who helped a significant other wean off of doctor prescribed Xanax - don't go there. "But my doctor prescribed it!" I don't understand people's stupid trust in "experts." The vast majority of those capable of prescribing a highly addictive drug to you have absolutely no idea how to taper you off of those drugs. Nor would they want to - You're an addict now - Legal ฿฿฿Cha-Ching฿฿฿

I tried expensive CBD Oil. Didn't works worth a hill of beans. Two hits of local hashish and then tune it a US talk show. Well - I probably don't need the hashish. As far a OTC drugs go. Antihistamines do work from me. Specifically Hydroxyzine, sold under the brand names Atarax in Thailand. You'll dose between 25 to 100 mg. Start low and work up.

But I want to know what knock-off he bought so I can buy it too.

According to whom? The East or the West?

If it sounds good. Link up where you bought it. I may want one too.

Obviously - and the link to the study showing that 'inadequate milk intake by Thai children conclusively decreases their statue?" "A recent study carried out by the DoH, Unicef Thailand and Suan Dusit Rajabhat University involving children aged 6-19 found that the majority of Thai children drink an average of one glass of milk a day, he added." So - Link to studies that conclusively conclude that Thai children drink too little milk and that if they drank more milk they would be taller??? Otherwise it is not attributed as well as being heresay. And is being "taller" so sort of a new benchmark? If you're short you are somehow less adequate then 'taller' Thais perhaps. As well - are there any 'conflicts of interest' between the milk industry and certain "pro-milk" doctors? Just wondering out loud. If there isn't then no problem. If there are conflicts of interest, then they should be highlighted.

Let's get to reality. Westerners. "My (Mom/Dad) **** her/his pants. ORDERLY. NURSE! Clean that up!!!" How about - Your dying Mum/Dad just **** her/his pants. They cleaned your pants for how many years during your infancy. Now they need YOUR HELP. Step The Hell Up!

Think of it this way. In First World countries, you can pay someone to "do everything, feed, give drinks, tell the doctor whats wrong, change colostomy bags & nappies etc" - and therefore completely sanitize the dying process and make it someone other than the "Family's" problem. The "Family" can just stay drunk and gossip about the dying's life while someone lower on the social spectrum takes care of the dirty-work. Unless they can't. And to be really, really honest? Here in Thailand, most middle class people can afford to hire someone (for 10K a month) to do all of that. To be a caregiver. And you could probably find a good caregiver too as an expat Instead? Complain. "Thailand Medical Bad." Thailand isn't First World. Nope. It is not. Culturally until recently, family would take care of all of that "messy and dirty" work of caring for dying family members until the last moment. And even then? Many die at home. Imho the biggest issue here in Thailand is the lack of Palliative Care for Joe Sixpack and Sonchai TaMaDa. There is a real lack of compassion when it come to alleviating pain in terminal patients. Well - unless you have ฿฿฿฿Cha-Ching฿฿฿฿ If pain can be addressed, then dying is just a matter of marking time.
