Re: A Medical Emergency in Hua Hin

Google, what the hell is a "Zimmer Frame" ? Is this a British term ? What does the rest of the world call it ? A "Zimmer frame" is a British term for a walking frame, a mobility aid used by individuals with limited mobility. It's essentially a metal frame with legs and handles t...

[/quote]As I said to Martinoo, that was the cost at that stage. The actual cost was a fraction of quoted price.[/quote]

Hopefully a small fraction!

Thanks for sharing your experience and get well soon.

Re: What is going rate for Health Insurance?

I'm a 55 year old American male with my assortment of medical issues. Every insurer I've applied to has rejected me and will not offer insurance at any price so it depends on exactly what your pre-existing conditions are. Even the often recommended agents on Facebook and internet forums have failed ...

I've been noticing bars and restaurants around the Soi 94 area getting very busy already this month. I've eaten at Ga Hanoi the last 2 Mondays, and it was difficult to find an empty able.
Your fault for raving about their potato wedges?

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

Here is a recent review of a BYD truck I found intriguing. Basically said it appears to have good build quality, but the ride is rough and towing capacity is sub-par.

Re: Pae Mai transport/parking

If you are travelling any day but a Tuesday, the huge market site becomes a massive car park - plenty of free parking. If travelling on a Tuesday, simply park along the Klong Road. You may have a short walk back to Pae Mai, but it will certainly be within your 10 minute walking window. I've parked ...

Pae Mai transport/parking

Coming from South Cha-Am (Baba Beach Club area). I have a car. Would it be better to take a grab to/from the Tuesday night market or drive there? If driving, is there a safe place to park nearby? Don't mind walking up to 10 minutes and would like to avoid massive traffic.

Water tanks

I'm not yet living in Thailand. Can someone explain to me the whole water tank thing? The rental villas I've looked at have water tanks. What is their purpose? How are they filled? How are they drained? Is the water stored inside these tanks suitable for drinking (not that I would), showering and wa...

We stopped by and watched a couple of the races today. Not as crowded as I feared.

Re: Dragon Boat Racing, Khao Tao 2023

What are the hours of this event each day?

Is something happening on the 17th or just 18-19?
