Thought it was like a lot of us Aging Gent ?

Could be many more that have not posted on here !! ? I went into a Big Central and went to Bangkok Bank, cashier called someone, that call the Manager, so 3rd time repeated what I wanted, all 3 woman say cannot you MUST go to you own branch, the one that opened the account,,,,, many phone call to so say head office, still the answer was go to your Branch The branch I opened the account at is somewhere near the river not to far from Rama 8 bridge as I remember last time I was there was 2000 Yes 25 year ago. no idea if is still there ? Anyway called a Thai friend and he drove to the Bank - took 35 mins _ so we had to go all over it again, the answer was still NO cannot.. Why my Bank book says my 1st name then last name - My Passport small letters Surname then Christian name.. how thick are those 3 worman hope there just under 3 hours was worth it.. even showing my Thai DL says the same 1st name and last name was NO cannot ... guess that is what is called saving face ? went across the road to Big C Extra, in and out with new passbook under 5 mins

practicing medicine without a license.!! - problem is you see a Dr how many times in a year ? for me 4 times a year. your just a name on the records,,, also depends on the age of the Dr, an older Dr is happy to continue your Prescription, a younger Dr will try to put you on the newer or lastest Meds + sometime I have no idea until I get home meds have changed... i live with my medical problems 24/7 so I am the best person to know what is working.. on the other hand go to a Pharmacy and see the Pharmacists [Pharmacists have also done 4 years traming but more on effects of different meds] some years ago my Prescription changed from the Hospital, had problem 90 days later spoke with the Hospital Dr, your get used to the Meds was the answer there good ?? Spoke with the Pharmacists said that Med is the problem, he was right As for Metformin, have taken for 34 years, I have kidney problems CKD , again what Dr you see some say Metformin is good for CKD others say is bad ? As for self medication, told many years ago by a Hospital Dr, take BP meds + Diabetic meds according to you readings every day... no way would I take my Insulin if my reading was below 70,,, like way found for me taking a smaller dose of BP meds twice a day works better then the subscribed 1 tablet mornings

When do you need to do a TM30 ? just if you move to a different address ? Did mine in June 2013 ..... the slip of paper from Immigration is stapled in my Passport, did change to a new Passport a few years ago the same paper is in this Passport, No one has ever asked about it or rised any questions... a did ask a few years ago, was told only need a new one if moving address. Have no idea

Mine this morning 116/61 PR 61 age 75 yesterday 130/72 PR 60 think also depends on the time you wake up, this morning tested 04:15 - yesterday tested 07:30, one day last week wake late so tested at 09:30 - 155/82 PR 66 was told by a Dr - A diastolic blood pressure of somewhere between 90 and 60 is good in older folks. So guess we are OK with diastolic blood pressure reading in the 60's so far this month lowest diastolic blood pressure was 53 the highest 82 alcohol - don't drink, did have a small Shandy 34 years ago. junk food - maybe twice a month

Is this BP test done everywhere in the world these days ? or is it just in Thailand, see a Dr, Dentist, Eye Dr = must first have BP taken - if it is 165 or over a porter is called and they bring a bed, often 30 or more beds clutter up the waiting room for an hour or so Remember a few years ago going to the Dentist, 1st was BP test, so say to high so Dentist could not do anything... Last Friday went to the Hospital Dentist, walk in sit and do the BP - 170/69 did not bother taking the slip to reception just sat for 10 mins and did the test again 136/72 Keep a chart on PC for years... BP up and down, but over the month = July 2025 worked out as average 134/61

Sorry - Just looked in my Bank book shows FEE 4 x 50 baht so each week for June 2025,,, the letter says 200 month

SCB the min is 2,000 baht, Had the bank account 24 years.. there new policy re Apps means cannot use SCB App any more, to pay the monthly bills. so there was no movement this year, resaved a EMS letter 6 weeks ago stating as my balance was below 2,000 baht there was a weekly 200 baht FEE went to the Bank, the balance was 1,960 baht. less 2 x 200 baht FEE I was told 25 years ago at Bangkok Bank min balance was 2,000 baht - no idea if there are FEEs as account is used weekly/ HSBC min balance was 500,000 baht. if below there was a monthly FEE Yes 2 different months the balance dippd just below [late payment arriving] and had to pay the fee.

No idea # I do know if visiting the Hospital if the reading is 165 or over then a porter is called and you have to lay on the bed for 1 hour with constant BP checks Many years ago my then Dr said take the BP 3 times with 5 mins between each for correct reading... I keep a daily chart on my PC, so could go back 17 years.......... BP this morning 140/64 -- so last month July Lowest was 102/53 the highest 189/101 - mostly 120 - 130 over 60 -70 Every Tuesday the Nurse home visit = a BP check this past Tuesday was 127/62 Have Hypertension for 33 years As for alcohol do not drink so never been a factor.

So what your saying is AIS sell FAKE phones ?? What about the Samsung A06. when they came out AIS were selling them @ 2,690 for phone only deal, end of last year Android 14,,, The A06 is still on Promotion but at 3,650 baht. so they must be Fake ? as Samsung Thailand has them at 6,999 baht https://www.ais.th/consumers/promotions/special-promotions/clearance-sale?utm_source=web&utm_medium=subherobanner-promotion&utm_campaign=store_olscommu-2025-clearance-sale_jan25 They do Promotions + from time to time Clearance Sales

Maybe should have bought this one = even cheaper https://shopee.co.th/product/1150872535/24043886197?gads_t_sig=VTJGc2RHVmtYMTlxTFVSVVRrdENkVHQ3ZkZSUTMrR3pBWmZZNzdrcnRBMlJvdTROUDlQK29YQ0QrYVFFZjJmdUtGR0N6c2g0K2ZSbjdSVjBlazdpVUFWMDRrREZ6dFhTT2hidXRrUElRK1NGcjhUS0lQRUNzeXhLMzhQS09SUUlSQXlwYnFsenBoOWVnT3o3TDkrVjVnPT0&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21084885554&gbraid=0AAAAADPpYO1mHw9Hc3WR0_G62tOwmjDYJ&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8dPGhZ2RjgMVaalmAh0DiQmBEAQYASABEgK03PD_BwE ?? but not from AIS Shop I like my new phone is bright, clear + voice clear ringtone much better than my old 4+ year old Vivo also from AIS shop Have never watched Videos or TV on a phone and never likely to. used camera on phone maybe 3 times in past 10 years so also of no interest to me..

Depends what you need a phone for my last 3 cheap phones have lasted around 4 years each.. I did try twice a mid range Samsung,[expensive] both spent more time in the Service Centre than in my hands so had to buy another phone.. So a Brand New clearance stock phone is for me the way to go... New Phones are Android 16, so a Android 13 is 70 - 80% cheaper. [eg a 3,995 baht phone reduced to just over 1,000 baht just because it has Android 13] Before coming here 22 years ago, always bought a new phone every year as needed it for Business here I don't need, but must have to login to so many places [websites]

No idea.. [bot sure what a data package is] as said before used to work on my old phone then stopped, reason given was phone/Android version was to old and no longer supported The full AIS package has XXX free mins = never go over this so no bill, last time over was about 7 years ago phoning UK a few time in a month

Thanks added to list for Dr Thai friend has been given this week Utmos 30mg with 1 x 500mg Metformin a day, he was on 3 x 500mg Metformin per day. to early to tell if they work
