I do have a fair few novels and a lot of Kurt Vonnegut sci-fi and Anthony Burgess novels. Also have sewing and cookery books, so quite a mix.

I’m interested!

Do you have a list of your books?

or are you planning to sell the whole batch away?

I'm afraid too many to list but am planning to sell or donate everything anyway. If there's anything that you are particularly looking for let me know and I will check. 

If you like Henry Williamson as an author, I have the full 15 volume set of a Chronicle of Golden Sunlight which I would like to pass on as one item as it took some time to collect so the condition is variable.

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks all for the info. Very useful.

Please note that Canterbury Tales do not hand over cash for books but give a credit for you to use in the shop.

That's fine. I don't want any money for them, just want them to go to a good home if at all possible.

No, just found it. Didn't know it existed, so thanks.

Thanks, looks promising.

Hi, I don't believe there are any second hand English language bookshops in Pattaya any more, which is a shame.

However, I have a large amount of books that need to go to a good home, so was wondering if anyone knew of somewhere that would be happy to take them, such as schools or libraries, if there are any.

They are all adult level English in varying condition, so would be suitable probably for 6th form up in terms of English reading skills.

Would be really grateful if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice.

Certainly looks  like Lazada may have what I need.

Will check it out more thoroughly.

Thanks all

Thanks all for your suggestions.

Guess I'll just have to keep looking since tracing paper is much too stiff and toilet or kitchen roll too soft and small for wrapping.

Shops suppliers will be worth a try too. But it is pretty frustrating not being able to find something as common as tissue paper...

Try the stationery/school & office supplies department upstairs in Friendship, it's surprising what they've got up there.

Think Friendship is a good place to try. Often has things upstairs that you wouldn't expect, so thanks for the suggestion. One place I hadn't thought of!

Tried B2S at Central. Art shop up the road from Foodland. Otherwise not sure, but places like HomePro. As I said my partner has been looking as I can't go out, so not really sure.

Thanks

Have been looking high and low for some white sheets of tissue paper to wrap fragile items and clothes. They need to be about 18 x 24 inches.

As i cannot go out, my Thai partner has been looking but I don't think he really knows what tissue paper is, even though I supplied him with an old sample.

Am aware it is an odd request but would think that most large stores would use it to wrap things, so it must be available somewhere?

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks.

Need to do mine but can't remember what paperwork is required.

Is it possible for someone else to do your yearly extension for you. I am sick (not covid) so don't go out unless I really have to. Being somewhere where there could be covid worries me.

Be grateful for any information.

Thanks. Mls

Get well soon mls.

Thanks.

Unfortunately my cancer is ongoing despite a successful surgery last year I had to have another one recently and it looks like things aren't as good as they should be today from the pathology. So keeping fingers crossed the oncologist is able to find something in further path tests that they will be able to use to provide medication to treat it. Will have wait and see.

Keeping fingers crossed.

If "alternative medicine" actually worked, it wouldn't be called "alternative" anymore, but, would become mainstream. Stick to seeing a reputable doctor and follow their advice.

Have lost a couple of friends to cancer because they went down the rabbit-hole of "alternative medicine". By the time they realised that it was quackery, their condition had deteriorated beyond the ability of modern medicine to do anything about it.

Hi KarenBravo,

I am not looking for alternative medicine for cancer. I know that most is quackery.

I have not been enquiring about alternatives anyway, some other poster has and keeps posting to me for some reason.

I agree with you entirely.

I heard immunotherapy has great results for lung cancer. Don't know what Thailand has to offer. 

If you refer to alternative therapy, you may try Mutsumi Adachi at Omroom. When she came to Phuket, I had a session of Memory and cranio sacral therapy, very good. Kamalaya is a very reputable center of alternative therapies in Koh Samui. All therapists are well known in each field, you can visit the website first. Best of luck with your choice of treatment!

Hi, thanks for the info but I'm not looking for alternative therapies for lung cancer. I do know about immunotherapy and that is already one of my options. I live in Pattaya and my surgeon is in Bangkok.

I think it was someone else posting asking for alternatives, but I can't remember who.

Could you please tell us what you are paying for each CT scan with contrast and is it Dr Padungkiat who explains the results to you?

I have only had standard CT scans recently and the scan costs 13,400 baht but of course there's the extra for the physician evaluation which is usually 1,500 baht. I prearrange the scan with my health insurance so they pay for that, but not the rest. I always see Dr Padungkiat a few hours after and he goes through the scans with me and compares the previous ones with the new which he shows me on the screen and answers any questions I have. I also get a full report and CD, which unfortunately I can't look at as I have a Mac and they only work on PCs.

I am due for a CT with contrast at the beginning of May, but am not sure how much it will cost. I will prearrange that with my insurance too at the beginning of April.

Hope that helps.

I had VATS surgery with Dr. Padungkiat at Bangkok Hospital last August. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Besides being an excellent surgeon and very fluent in English, he will take time to communicate with you, a rarity these days among doctors. If anyone needs more information let me know. Now I am trying to find out about alternative cancer treatments in Bangkok or elsewhere in Thailand. Has anyone had any experience with this?

I had the same surgery with Dr Padungkiat too last February and I also can't recommend him highly enough.

I hope yours was successful.

My check ups are still ongoing and unfortunately something showed up on my last CT, but hoping it's just an infection. Have had some very strong antibiotics and will need to have another scan with contrast next month.

Sorry, but I don't know about any alternative treatments for cancer in Thailand. Not sure I'd trust them anyway. Far too much quackery in this country.

Good luck.

Just tried downloading the App but it doesn't work with CC numbers only Debit Cards. Yet again!

I contacted Nationwide a short time ago about getting a card reader.

After many secure messages going back and forth I was told that since I only have a Credit Card with them this can't be used by a card reader, only a Debit Card can.

I generally only use my Nationwide CC for purchases in Thailand, not on-line. So am hoping that I will still be able to log into Nationwide's website without any problems, but maybe I had better check that again to be sure as I don't have a UK mobile.

I have only been able to get my new cards sent to a UK address and forwarded here - to sign for - as Nationwide refused to send them to my address in Thailand and that was years ago.
