  1. The air in Hat Yai is usually very good, but there are times, especially during the Indonesian haze months, when the air here is bad. As the wife is asthmatic I bought a portable Electrolux air purifier several years ago now for about Bht12,000. I bought a second smaller Toshiba unit more recently for Bht6,000.

     

    It's difficult to quantify how well these units work, as apart from colour bars, there's no digital read out, but they certainly make an improvement in my wife's asthma, so I know they're effective.

     

    Early this year I bought a Xiaomi PM2.5 monitor to check on the air purifiers.  I've found that both will bring the PM2.5 reading down to low single digits, unsurprisingly the more expensive unit, which has a bigger throughput, achieves this in less time than the cheaper one.

    Why do people think that the wrist model is not good?  Pressure readings can vary for many reasons so why is it assumes that the wrist model is not as good as other models ?   

    To get an accurate reading when taking your blood pressure the cuff should be level with the heart. This is easier to do with an upper arm cuff. The wrist blood pressure monitors are more prone to error because it's easier to be at the wrong level. Even then, blood pressure measurements taken at the wrist are often higher and less accurate than those taken at your upper arm because the wrist arteries are narrower and not as deep under your skin as those of the upper arm.

    Thank your for respond.

     

    I'm planning to take a bus from KL to Hat Yai through the "Sadao Arrivals Border Post". Hope it goes well and they won't force me to comeback to my snowbound home country till spring :biggrin:

     

    This is the busiest time you could possibly pick. At Sadao you can expect very long queues as there are many Malaysians heading into Thailand for Christmas & New Year.

    I have some other old Kingston USB's from Australia and they do not have the information on the metal either.

    Just checked my Kingston USB sticks and they all, except one, have a very faint laser etched serial number on the metal.  The numbers are hard to see, but they are there. The exception is a very, very, very old 2Gb USB stick.

     

    I would agree, these are most probably fakes, suggest you contact Lazada and initiate the returns procedure.

     

    Sorry, just noted the post above and read the linked page, so yes, they're 100% fake.
