With new £75 billion in QE, pound continues to drop against other currencies. Today 47.7 baht for your pound, how far can it still drop! Does it get to a point where Brit expats give up and return to UK? I remember 67 baht to pound, how things have changed over the years, for the worse.

Right behind the hospital, that'll do nicely! Thanks 21again.

Are these apartments next to AEK hospital? Using their car park? So, ideal for the 'walking dead' expats like myself maybe!?

Thanks wazza. It looks Bangkok bound as condition complicated by diabetes, bit on the fat side, blood pressure, age, i don't know, time to give up! Of course all the problems affect confidence levels too, so, physical and psychological. I may try AEK to ask if they have a specialist clinic, should c...

Not that i have any problems but, does any Udon hospital have a 'mens health' sort of, E D, clinic does anyone know? I know Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok does, but, it would be better for me local! When i say me, i mean, anyone who lived in Udon Thani generally, not specifically me of...

This Google translation is fantastic!!! =D> Thanks izzix.

Actually keeping prostrate cancer at bay is well worth doing. Are you over 50? Do you get up twice or more in the night to pass water? Is the flow, good? I think men over 50 should consider a PSA (prostrate specific antigen) regularly if possible. The way the test result changes can give early warni...

Terrible events, now 84 people died and 750 homes destroyed, it is very sad. However what is worse, many fires are started by arsonists. Over half of the 20,000 to 30,000 bush fires a year are thought to be the work of arsonists! What a poor reflection on humanity that is.

Thanks for pointing out Fuzzy Ken book swap! I learn so much from this forum and as reading is so important to me, this info is priceless. =D> What i will do is bring books i have here and take them to Fuzzy Ken's, and am sure when i live in Udon I will be using the swap facility for sure! Thanks fo...

[quote]...candidate for book swaps! Do you live in the Udon area? I don't live there yet. I have domestic problems, family illness, property to sell, which gets more difficult daily, but really hope to be permanant in Udon area in next year or so. We already have agreed to live there as it is near b...

Sorry about that didn't realise.

Just reading latest book from James Lee Burke. He writes about Dave Robicheaux a cop in New Orleans area. The Tin Roof Blowdown mixes crime fiction with the reality of Hurricane Katrina. It is fantastic with the characters so real and true. Bill Clinton says, "He's just great, really great. Definate...

Thanks for update izzix. Loved 20baht train from Don Muang when international airport, to meet metro at Hua Lampong. First visit could gaze out in amazement from train at how close Thai families lived to track (health and safety :-# ) and under bridges and that! Taxi always trying scam and total pai...

Why would i wai 7/11 girls!

As a new boy, not a reincarnation, it makes my head spin the way the forum veers this way and that! But although i feel the pain and worry of current expats, over here it ain't bad really. My mortgage is a tracker .08% above base. It's gone from 5.58% to 1.58% saving me over £600 a month. My job is...

Groundhog day did have bill murray but it had andie macdowell too!!! i can put the total cast if you want? The Shining was also brilliant with.....Shelly Duval.....and okay, Jack Nicholson too.

Certainly groundhog day with Andie Macdowell had fantastic script and fantastic uplifting ending which i could watch again and again. Meet me in st louis is a classic for sure. My others would be Fargo with Francis Mcdormand and William h Macy, also vietnam in the Quiet American with Brendan Fraser ...

From here, maybe baht just victim of global problems? Channel 4 tourist rates increase or decrease one year on pound. I'm off to Gambia! Gambia dalasi + 1% Brazil real - 1% NZ dollar - 7% Aus dollar -10% Turkey lira - 10% Canada dollar -12% Sweden krona -12% Poland zloty -20% Euro -25% Denmark krona...
