Sounds like that is not "self administered"

No idea and no idea what hba1c is - as I said I only monitor occasionaly just to keep an eye on it

Quite true but how many DIYers have a centre punch in their toolkit?

If you use a percussion drill percussion drills always tend to move because of the vibration then this is what I do. Frst I start without percusion and at slow speed to establish the correct location for the hole once I have a hole sufficient to allow the drill bit to be located that I then switch to percussion. But I agree drilling breeze block or concrete is a pain (and you never know if your chosen spot has some embedded metal reinforcement behind)!

I occasionaly keep tabs on my glucose level ( I do not think I have diabetes but at my age I like to monitor). This morning on waking up I tested with my meter - result 6. (fasting) I had one piece of toast with raspberry jam. 2 hours later I did another glucose test - result 4.9 I would have expected it to have risen but it went down.

For several years before and after Covid we have managed to not be in Thailand between March and June - this year we could not avoid being here and the temperature has been a big shock (i don't remember it like this when I first came in 2010. Also electricity prices have gone up significantly so running AC is expensive. Definitely next year I will be out of the country maybe combine with my "not in the country for more than 180 days" plan!

I always thought at the beginning of the WW2 Russia and Germany had an agreement not to fight each other But then Hitler renaged on that agreement and attacked Russia. So I don't really think Russia saved Europe more like they saved themselves and Europe benefited

Didn't someone do that in 1938? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neville_Chamberlain

Beware of: 1 Chinese versions of anything 2. Sites claiming to be in Thailand Fakes and Scams abound in this region.

1. Yes I'm 80 11.4" is just fine 2. No that's why I went for the less powerful (and cheaper) OPPO Neo Pad 3. Always good to have a backup sim receptacle 4. See 2 4. Lack of RAM made up for by SD card slot so I can have wine (not the drink -although I do like a glass or two), maps and other apps. Fed up lugging my Lenovo legion 5 (I don't use it for games) 2.4 KG plus charger back and forth on flights - I have removed the 1TB m2 memory from the Lenovo and now it sits in an external case (USB3) so it's flexible and portable so now I have to carry Neo + my data - less than 1 KG and smaller. When I get back to the UK I may well buy a surface pro 9 but in the mean time this will do.

As far as I am aware the xiaomi Ipad 6 does not have a sd card slot Oppo does p to 1 TB like i said just look at the specs on gsmarena.

I have just bought an OPPO Neo Tab LTE version seems to work well 114" screen = 9999 Baht on Oppo Lazada with 1000 baht discount achieved by chatting with them on messaging Compare it against the samsungs.- It gets good reviews for the price try gsmarena for reviews/specs of many phones/tablets

I have two - they work fine BUT always if I am going away for a longish period I disconnect the battery - also you can buy a solar based trickle charger that will keep the battery topped up used to have one in my camper van.

I use my marigolds for washing up - flowers would only get in the way😀

Where exactly would that be - whilst not passing comment on this particular case - Mob rule by "Social Media" seems to be prevalent everywhere in the world"

That doesn't work I've tried it!😀

Not true in most countries you pay tax when you earn it and you pay tax when you spend it ...... and when you die!😢

In Korat or UK?

Totally agree with this sentiment with only one small word change - substitute foreign with ALL

From all that can be read it is true that in a large number of Prostate Cancer situations it is slow growing. But sometimes the cancer is aggressive. Without tests (MRI Biopsy) you cannot know how aggressive your cancer is. For my part my PSA had been above normal for 20 years but recently an MRI showed it progessing significantly so I had a biopsy which led to treatment.

You're clearly "a hit a man when he's down" type. The poster is clearly worried and needs help and empathy not your type of response.

Just to add to my previous post: Most of the "Government" doctors in this area (Korat) moonlight in the local private sector anyway so the quality of the doctor is usually the same - and I supect the equipment is just as good also. One of my fellow patients actually started by going to a private hospital who promptly sent him the the Government hospital for the radiation treatment!

I'm 80 my PSA was 46 had a biopsy in a Government hospital (Korat) - Biopsy showed Cancer restricted to prostrate only. Gleason 3+4 Finish my radiation on friday Varian Halcyon Linac Device - very few side effects - some restriction of urine flow not serious - but more frequent But my hormone treatment started 6 weeks ago. Total cost so far about £10K I am impressed with this hospital. If cost is an issue maybe look for a good Government hospital

Confused - is this cover from Thailand outbound or to Thailand inbound? I'm looking for a 192 day policy for my Thai gf (worldwide excluding US) out from Thailand and return to Thailand All Thai insurance companies only allow 180 days ((I have no idea why)

Maybe been asked before but so many pages to browse. In 2024 If I am in Europe for 180 days, come back to Thailand and before year end I am in say Laos for 10 days (total 190 days - not in Thailand for 176 days (leap year). Does that establish "non tax residency"?
