  1. I wish Fuji-Xerox still made consumer level printers. Seven years ago, I bought the cheapest 3-in-1 lazar printer IT City sold: a B1900 Fuji-Xerox model that is still operating now without ever having an issue. Also never had a problem with aftermarket toner cartridges.
  2. I used SWIFT SCAN (Android) and it was easier to do than I expected.
  3. Spelling correction: Rudjasorn, not Rujasorn
  4. Too low. One of the immediate risks is dizziness if you stand quickly after sitting a while.
  5. If OP is in the Pattaya area, I have had several cortisone injections (knees) at the Dr. Rujasorn clinic on S. Pattaya Rd. I can say Dr Rujasorn is one of the best orthopedists I have ever consulted with. Excellent English and answers questions willingly. I was paying B3000 shot and Doctors fee at a hospital in Bangkok. Dr. Rujasorn was B1400 all in. His office hours start at 5pm as he practices at local hospitals in the daytime. The clinic is walk-in but I suggest op calls because closed certain days and I don't recall which. Can't post phone numbers here but easily obtainable on Google
  6. I flew professionally as an air courier out of Bangkok for close to 10 years. The Hong Kong based shipping agency I did the work for would NEVER book on China Airlines because of their very poor on time and connection record. Most often I flew on EVA, Korean, JAL, Cathey Pacific and ANA. Anything under 1hour30minutes is too short, even a 30 minute delay can cause you to miss a connection. Just not worth the risk. HKG, TPE, ICN, NRT are all excellent for a layover, especially ICN. HND not so much.
  7. Many of these 12 month SIMS have a lot of fine print attached, most often making clear that the advertised speed is neither unlimited nor always available. Usually the advertised amount is for only a limited amount of data a month after which it can slow dramatically. The wording makes it look unlimited but the devil's in the details.

    The heat

    I thought you promised you were going away?

    The heat

    This current heat wave is unusual in my experience. I live on the tenth floor of a condo just off Jomtien Beach. Yesterday, I put a decent quality digital thermometer on a table near my open balcony but out of direct sunlight. Throughout the day, from 1pm on it read between 33.5 - 33.7. That evening around 9pm, it was still 33.5. When I got up at 3am to take a wizz, it was 33.3. Only at 7am was it below 33, at 32.6. That's just only 1.1 degree variation over 24 hours. I never recall night time staying so hot ever before.
  10. He was traveling with the brother of a Reddit poster on one of the Thailand forums. According to him, it was probably from a previous trip and happened to be in the carry-on bag pocket where he put his passport. I once had a condom lodge in my PP the same way. I was fortunate to notice it before I handed it over.
  11. The 350 mps is only for domestic usage, not international. Also, everything is messed-up now because of cable sabotage in the mid-east.
  12. It's really difficult to find "Dumb" TVs now, that is TV's that only require an antennae or cable imput with no built-in "wi-fi" requirement. There are a few on lazada and some cheap electronic stores but most are low quality hold over stock. The thing to be aware of is most "smart" tv's now require a wi-fi connection to set them up, even if you do not intend to use an internet provided signal. You can't just turn most of them on and plug an antennae or cable in, the set-up routine can not be bypassed. One workaround if you buy in a store is to have the store staff set it up in the store.
  13. My former GF had it. She did the antibiotic regimen described by TANDOR and her symptoms disappeared. They reappeared 6 or 7 years later and she repeated the regimen successfully. It's pretty clear many of the food practices in Isan contribute to this condition.
  14. This forum has some excellent contributors and there is no reason why a person would not ask such a locally related question here. Maybe at one time Google was a reliable source but now the lines between information and promotion are blurred beyond the point of reliability. One searches for any medical topic and the majority of results are thinly veiled infomercials promoting whatever they are paying Google to help them sell.
  15. I was prescribed Lyrica among other meds for nerve pain in my leg similar to sciatica. The condition went away after a week or two, I have no idea if from the meds or just ran it's course. I didn't experience any side effects I'm aware of
