I think people that have purchased Chinese cars will live to regret it Most things made in China fall apart, they are known for poor quality and cheap prices so why not with cars as well?

The one we hired seems very competent is Thai, smart about 50 years old. We only need new 3 days a week, she really wants full time. So if there is anyone else out there who wants a maid 3 or 4 days a week just let me know and I will pass on her contact details to you. We will share her She is doing Mon Weds Fri with us, so the other days are available

Used to be fish and chips for 150 baht on Friday not so long ago

I believe John's Place was used as a location for Denzil Washington's movie American Gangster in 2008/9 Looked weird with all the early 70's cars and tuk tuks whizzing by outside in the film, not to mention the strangely dressed people

Got one now thanks????

We are looking for a maid in the Mae Hia area. If anybody can send me a pm with details I would be eternally grateful. My wife has been ill and is unable to do household chores, I have my hands full in the garden so having to do housework too is quite stressful . 450 to 500 baht a day depending on experience. 2 days a week, but only one if that's all they can fit in . It's really hard to find a maid these days!! Pretty desperate right now. Does not have to be Thai can be Burmese but must be able to iron. Many thanks in advance

How are you now?

I've flown AA 100 times with no problems..but they canceled my flight , getting a refund was impossible so a credit note was the best on offer. Now they make it almost impossible to claim that credit note against another flight. I have spent hours on websites trying to arrange another flight and at least 20 emails before I got a credit note. The most hopeless airline in Asia I really hope they go bust. I will never use them again if I can't get this sorted with them. I had an issue with Bangkok Air I double paid for luggage, the problem was sorted immediately and a refund hit my nank account within 24 hours. A proper airline!! You should be thankful you have not experienced these types of issues with AA

About 750 a patch I think

Well I have used it but only once when I was in BK Hospital CM But after I was given the patch I googled it and refused any more.

I have been prescribed Fentynal while in Bangkok Hospital but I did not find it any stronger than morphine. I rejected it after one patch after looking it up I found that it killed the musician Tom Petty who had access to it just as he was preparing for his final tour, he overdosed on it. RIP Tom....another Travelling Wilbury death.

Although the fact that they did not have any soap in the bathroom in the ER room did make me think it was a public hospital I suppose

My bad

I paid the same price (25k) for the same procedure at Rajevej hospital in CM That's a government hospital and I reckon I was at least double charged

As you know mate, in some very unlucky people they do and continue to cause problems 3 years after the operation and I now have to accept that I have these issues for life. I have had 6 cystascopes one of which caused a urethral stricture and I now have that for life. They try and lessen the pain by stretching the urethra. The pain was so bad that I was taking morphine I got off it by using methadone and am now only taking OTC meds, but I have pain most days , I try and get through without taking them but it's difficult. I also have to permanently wear a diaper as my pee constantly leaks, this leads to frequent UTI's The procedures work for a while then the scar tissue hardens and needs redoing. It would be difficult for me to recommend a TURP procedure to anybody it can ruin your life if it goes wrong or you have an incompetent surgeon. But how do you know your surgeon is competent? That's a tough question? This of course is just my personal experience and I have plenty of friends who have had a TURP and are perfectly fine. But a stricture can be caused by any rigid contraption being inserted onto your penis, so just be aware of that.

Ram are offering Mordena at around 1,650 Baht a shot if you want to avoid mega busy hospitals

Dr Jarawat right?

So sorry to read this. I kept in touch with him down the years after he settled in Oakham But he was a very sick man and would have gone many years before if he had not moved back to the UK He was so happy to be there and receiving what he described as "Quality Care".But in the end his luck finally ran out...as it must for us all RIP Martin

I don't agree that Singaporians would be disappointed with Thailand. Many Brits, like myself, have come from affluent areas of the UK and settled very nicely in Thailand. I have been here nearly 20 years and enjoy the kind of lifestyle Singaporeans could only dream of in retirement. Money goes a long way here. I have visited your wonderful country several times and love it.....but I could not afford to stay there, even a basic hotel room is 100 dollars a night. Love to visit, but not to live.

Well at least they look like they are fogging properly. When they fog our streets in Ching Mai it's a quick squirt up in the air and they are gone!! Or they come and thoroughly spray a house AFTER the person that lives there has a confirmed case of dengue..even though they could have caught it anywhere!!

Is anyone on the forum living here? If so I would like your opinion, also what is Jomtien like to live in. Thanks

Thank you Richard. I got done very badly in Koh Chang three months ago the bite lumps were huge and took a month to go down. Thankful that HH is not as bad
