Re: Replacement knee surgery
He chose HHH and booked in to the VIP suite, which actually makes BH look 2nd rate. Of course, HHH was a fraction of the cost. Very pleased with everything that happened. The procedure was all initiated by the doc in the clinic opposite HHH (he actually works in BH during the day). I had no idea th...

Re: Replacement knee surgery
Had a knee menisectomy last year at Bumrungrad in Bangkok. Lumbar anaesthetic so I could watch the op on a big screen live and chat with the surgeon. Easy op, a week or so definitely on crutches and then over to a walking stick for a few weeks. I did my own physio at home. For me it was around 6 mon...

Re: Domestic Air Purifiers
I have a UK bought professional AQI / 2.5 / other things handheld monitor, so I can check easily inside or outside AQI monitors on Lazada/Shopee are mostly well under 1000 Baht, others range from 3500-6000. I guess you get what you pay for. PS - I'd rather not know about air pollution outside my ho...

Re: Domestic Air Purifiers
Over a few years I've developed a strong dust allergy at home which regular dusting, vacuuming and throwing open all the door/windows for a few hours doesn't help except briefly. I'm fine outside and even in the bedroom, it seems just living room dust (it's a large area). I use a combination of a fa...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Just finished Season 4(The Night Country) of True Detective . Jodie Foster stars. Dark, depressing, very weird and bang average. Unrecognisable from Seasons 1&2! First I've heard of it, I'll certainly give seasons 1&2 a try. I just finished Season 4 of True Detective . It is dark and weird ...

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
Thought this was a great comedy. Ricky Stanicky . Zac Efron, John Cena, William H. Macy. Easy watch with some real laugh out loud moments, I thought. :D https://yts.mx/movies/ricky-stanicky-2024 Just a warning before watching, an AP News article in the US says it's similar to the director's previou...

Re: The Rugby Thread
Underperforming is being too kind to Wales, they were absolutely atrocious for well over an hour and those 2 late tries made the game look closer than it was. The match is only as close as the final score, irrespective of performance over 80 minutes. My point was that Wales have a lot of form for t...

Re: The Rugby Thread
Certanly not the first time an underperforming Welsh team finished very strongly. Another 10 minutes, who knows? Great result for Italy and the Six Nations tournament though.

Re: Plumber needed
A man the water company recommended arrived with some kind of electronic device that can listen/detect leaks under concrete, and with a jack-hammer. Sounds a man whose number is worth keeping. I understand why he's very busy. Could you share his details? If not would you just PM them to me please?

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
The Gentlemen is great fun series on Netflix if you're a fan of Guy Richie's stye of British gangster film. Obviously it's not rated for children but it's not horror-level violence.

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
Dune Part 2 - there's a pretty good 1080p. TS (telecine) out now, release group EMIN3M. Video is fairly good quality, not completely sure if the colours are muted compared to the cinema release, I guess so as is usual, it's either that or garish overcompensated colour. The sound is quite clear but ...

Re: Govt to cut alcohol taxes and tariffs
In other words, its unlikely to make a difference to wine prices for most of us as suspected. Has anyone actually seen prices drop yet? Of course, as expected. I'll still be buying very little wine then as I can't drink the cheap fruit juice horror. I wonder how changes will reflect in imported spi...

Re: Mustard
cowhead mustard.jpeg In the end I couldn't resist buying this, as I really wanted the large and ironic tin! I don't have Colman's to compare it with but it's fine ground, not highly yellow-coloured, mixes to a paste very well (maybe very slightly textured but makes no difference when using as you d...

Re: The Beer Thread 2
Definitely not tried it but using Google I found that they have a wide range of beers - not sure it’s 300 but coincidentally, one of my favourite beers Fullers London Pride was listed at 300 Baht for 500ml Insane price. Have to be desperate for a taste or much richer than me. For imported beer I'll...
