    You have to use with your Thai SIM and the same phone number as you were using the app with previously on the old phone. Once verified you can use with WiFi.

    Otteri Wash & Dry seem to everywhere in Hat Yai - almost as ubiquitous as 7-Eleven.

    Lazada is just a platform, an online mall, if you're buying from different sellers they're not shipping as a single consignment. So if there's an offer of free shipping on purchases over Bht599 that's with an individual seller, not the total of your purchases across several sellers.

    I think he meant it's easier to hit a car, bigger target.

    Indeed, America is an alternate universe as far as I can see.

    I have the added diuretic because my potassium levels went up when switched to losartan.

    Personally, I've found the ARB - Losartan to be the most effective - I've been taking it for 14 years now. I was on Adalat 15 years and that worked fine until it didn't.

    Still on medication yes. The medicines have evolved, I started on a beta blocker which I didn't like, moved to a calcium channel blocker (Adalat) that worked well initially, but over time my BP started to rise again. Changed to an ACE inhibitor (can't remember which one) which gave me a dry cough, so I was switched to an ARB - Losartan which works well at keeping my BP normal.

    I was diagnosed with hypertension by my GP in the UK, who put me on medication. That was 30 years ago now. .

    If you are using Skype on the dial up page you just select the country you're calling at the top and then enter type in the telephone number, no need to add international codes

    Skype Out is EUR 2.3 cents/min which is about Bht0.9/minute
  15. Stocky
    Use Skype if making calls to the UK. Just buy some credit and pay as you go.

    I've been taking the drug manufactured by Merck (MSD), now Organon, I hadn't realised there were generic's available - I don't think there were when I was first prescribed Hyzaar. Will need to ask my pharmacy what generic alternatives they have next time I order, even if that means taking as two tablets losartan plus hydrochlorothiazide. Thanks.

    Well it was on the floor, hard to go lower even with this government of clowns.

    40 Bht per month, I presume that's cost per tablet! I'm on Hyzaar, a combined losartan with diuretic, and pay Bht1,050 for a box of 30 tablets. None. .

    I was diagnosed with hypertension aged 35 - headaches, BP consistently over 140/90. It runs in the family my sister has it, and it contributed to my father's death at 45. With medication, currently Losartan 50mg, my BP is averaging 118/75 so far this year, it's been around 120/80 for years now, I take a reading once a week. I am overweight, though wasn't when diagnosed. .

    I've been using NordPass for a couple of years now and am happy with it.

    Not on the list. The one from the local water supplier that picks up the empties and replaces with new ones. Cost Bht10 for 20 litres. .
