Cook the goddamn toast properly will you!

Yes, I like my toast well cooked. I'm the guy in the cheaper Thai hotel, who sends his bread around the toaster thingy 3 times to get the right consistency!

If the physios in Hua Hin hospitals/clinics are like my other halfs niece, who is a physiotherapist at a major Bkk hospital, then they will probably have elderly clients who they visit at home in a private capacity. They started as regular attendees, who then asked her to visit them at home instead....

It's toast!

Sorry, couldn't resist it!!

I have the plate, screws, etc. I can get around fine with a Zimmer (no more than 20% weight on damaged leg. Okay, thanks. I misunderstood. I was thinking that irrespective of the damage, they'd be a period where it was rest, rest and rest, with just some aid like a crutch to help you get to the loo...

and the bank teller dealt with my situation. A lot of compasion shown. Yes, I was the same. Pam went to see Kbank at Bluport with everythiing I had, which is obviously just down the road from BH. I needed just the last 2 credit advices. For some reason she saw the manager who said to leave it with ...

Good to see you making some progress BB. Can I ask how they fixed your femur - did they pin it? Add a plate and screws, do you have to wear a caste? As it's seem able to bear your weight very quickly.

I was in MV yesterday, so asked the lady at the 3BB counter if I coud sign up there for the footy. Was told yes, and everything was done there and then, or so I thought. Although I use my phone via AIS, it's the first time I have used any of their other services. I have been with 3bb since moving to...

The actual cost was a fraction of quoted price. Now, we all know many doctors work several hospitals whilst they are here, and I think (can't be sure) he was talking to A&E Dept, and thought I was in Bangkok Hospital. I doubt it. When I was taken ill, albeit at the end of covid, I spent 6 weeks...

Well, that's a positive!

I don't want to sound too critical, but considering the money you are paying, I would expect a better diagnosis than what you have received.

The other problem is winning any case for damages, whatever, and actually getting the money, which is a whole other bun fight. Going back to your injury. Did they provide a more detailed analysis of what you actually did, other than 'smashed'? When you said you would have to learn to walk again, I d...

Yes, it is. I went up there the other day to check on the planned immigration move next door. The passport office was operating. It seemed like more staff than visitors.

It was there plain for them to see in my wallet, but there was no interest. TIT - what they want is down to what the person requesting the information wants. Thanks, irrespective of where you were, the hospital card enables the hospital to check your records fully, that was the reason for asking. I...

I know 3BB is now technically the same as AIS, but I have had the same offer from them as well. Excellent.

I am an older guy and hoping to spend a week in Khao Takiab in July. Is a week too long? Can anyone suggest a decent hotel? Its not too long if you mainly just want to chill out on the beach. It's also a hard place to define, as it covers a fairly large area, culminating in the area around the rock...

Oh dear BB, this isnt going to end well - but we already knew that. But it's quite a relief to hear it started with an accident. Edit. Sorry, just to ask, did you not have your hospital card with you? Notwithstanding the fact they were asking for your passport. During April I ended up in A&E twi...
