Hi

has anyone ever bought a pair of those toe nail clippers they sell in 7,11? not the cheap ones the 200 baht ones? do they make a clean cut? are they easy to use? when you clip what do you use?

Sorry missed a bit, where do you clip and how?

A real sad post this one 

Do you have a Thai wife?

A fair one I think, some of the cheaper ones don't cut as good, the 200 baht ones cut well.

I'm also in hospital with little to do so why not?

So, you tried both and decided the 200 Baht is better.  You've answered your own question.

There is a 7,11 just outside the hospital in Kalasin, i can walk with crutches and my toenails need cutting, I just feel a bit of a scruff..... its a simple question.

Even simpler is getting a nurse to do it for you, as given your on crutches, how do you propose to bend down to cut your nails then ?

The 200 baht ones are better.... i think, just wondering if i could get away with a set for 100 baht and save a bit of cash as I have a good pair at home.

Oh, I see, that makes sense.  Just seems a bit odd to start a thread about it.....then again, this is "General Topics" and sounds like you're a bit bored there. 

 

Hope it's nothing too serious and you're on the mend soon.  Good luck.

Well what started off as a back problem has become a knee and thigh problem due to being injected with some kind of drug that my body is not taking to, i cant move my leg but can touch my toes no problem.

she was and i left... home now and the wife is raving as i paid for the room up front.

After many decades of hanging out around Thailand I discovered, long ago actually, that nail clippers are one of those little items best to bring in-country on your own.

Don't buy them.

 

I got some and accidentally cut off my leg with them

 

I was lucky enough that my Thai wife (who I didn't meet in a bar) was able to staunch the bleeding by having her brother (who lives with us and is VERY close to her) cauterize the wound.

 

I am now recovering but my wife seems happy enough with me in hospital and her brother taking care of things at home.

 

Sometimes I feel so blessed to live in Thailand.
