  1. No harm pushing into bottle. Or using what we expats so often used 55 years ago when faced with such an issue opening local Mosel in Germany.
  2. It depends on your country - if using USD from USA SWIFT will be a better value in high amounts but from EU/UK and suspect OZ seems that WISE maintains an advantage regardless of amount (although not sure if you have to limit each transfer to less than 50k Baht if it would make sense). Just remember if using SWIFT you want to send foreign currency for exchange inside Thailand.
  3. There are no essential minerals in normal water that can not be obtained elsewhere. Bottled water is normally RO water these days.
  4. We are not talking about bug zappers in OP or any other post. OP is chemical killing - some other posts are leading them into air traps.
  5. RO water has no taste - that is the idea - mix with your choice to have the best tasting coffee/tea/drink. But most of us have no issues drinking directly from RO machine or the hundreds of brands of RO water sold in stores.
  6. You are talking single point to provide RO water or some kind of change to entire system? For the single point (which does not cost that much) of most concern is that you make enough and do not have to wait too long to make more.
  7. Just under 1k. And indeed there are fakes for sale - real model has flat bottom - fakes I noticed few years ago had few plastic tab keeping bottom off table if not hung. As for not working - these work very well indeed (and I was a skeptic). This appears to be real unit. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/portoti-pr-25mb-mosquito-pest-killer-led-ver2-led-i174536187-s358395528.html? Edit - checked and bought from above company at 899 Baht in December 2020.
  8. And you want to further poison the air? Can you perhaps get village to do the deed on a one time basis? Once population reset they do not seem to increase quickly. Here in Bangkok used below units and within few days almost none and units easily keep them under control for last few years. The good thing is they seem to only attract mosquitos. Not cheap but nothing to run out and easy to clean. PORTOTI Mosquito Killer PR-25MB
  9. In my opinion the MY LIST available previously was a major factor for making and placing orders - it has not been returned to more than a shadow of before (handful of products with no easy update).
  10. Lotuss is valid alternative with a lot more items for sale - but they do not have a list area or easy mark for next time order (but search seems good). They now seem to have much better stock control than when Tesco however and offer a 3 hour delivery service which is often free.
  11. Most people do not need towers anymore so even a breakfast table could be cut down to fit or a flat table bought with enough room. But perhaps have shophouse build to your specs if you can afford a reasonable priced solid wood unit? They also have metal move around tables that a lot of people could use with adjustable height. I use a normal wood table about 76cm high myself, with my arm resting on table from office chair so your 10cm or more lower seems very low indeed. 120x80cm table has plenty of room for 32" monitor/mini computer/printer/scanner/full size video security recorder and power outlets/ keyboard/mouse/ssd external/usb adaptor. Could still find space for tower if needed. Sit at angle so under table fully usable for trash/storage/drawers.
  12. Not sure what an "mts" is but in most cases shorter legs can easily be obtained with a saw if you find something you like.
  13. The UK does not have pay on death options for bank accounts? AFAIK they do not require a will.
  14. In many years of using have never been asked to pay more than listed on Lazada shipments. Ali Express is a different platform. There have been special FTA rules for China and others however and bulk payment systems, but this may be subject to change as government has directed that everything must be subject to 7% tax (elephant pants protest) reaction.
  15. I have two of the same model you have - both read about the same - and both about 50 or more lower at home rather than when in hospital. Just take with you to hospital to check - White Coat can be extreme for some of us. Covid isolation/fears has made it worse IMHO.
  16. As said it is probably best to arrange plan now to be sure you get what you want (low price). Wife is likely to be pressed to spend more and be made to feel she is not providing a proper send off for her loved one if she has to take care of arrangements after your death. Embassies do have lists available for those providing such service and you have several recommendations already for a service that others have used and had good experience with.
  17. That is welcome news - my last report was rejected with no reason so hope there is a silver lining at some point and might explain CW telling user to fill 15 days early next time. It used to be notice was sent before they even accepted form so had to wait.
  18. For anyone using CW.Bangkok it sure does. Your next due date will be 90 days from approval date.
  19. Quakes and typhoons are normally not an issue in the Duma area and you have both the sea and elevations easily available. Duma has a number of expats due to low costs and good living conditions with easy travel but there is room to avoid if that is your desire. But also good shopping and medical facilities when wanted or needed. Even with issues of truck smoke PI has enough natural air flow to keep things clean in most areas. But no hurry to make a final decision on final resting place as you can move your things and easily move elsewhere later if you change your mind, for find someone to change our mind.
  20. It that valid to a US post office box? That seems to be the issue for many as only official government mail service seems to be accepted as final path.
  21. I do not remember the name exactly but it had tracking and cost was about 580 baht for about 30 A4 insurance pages.
  22. We were advised in March that EMS will not send to US PO box address anymore due to non delivery/late delivery issues (as of sometime last year). Alternative was a Thailand Post option (almost as expensive). But expect IRS has heavy workload currently and that all will be OK with time.
  23. Actually they (and most things) can be much lower price without OEM front plate and fully understand the quality might be a bit less - but for my use want odor removal which requires short lift carbon type filters and these fit my needs at a reasonable cost and work very well for home use. If I was running an operating room would have more concern with 99.5 or 99.9 type figures but for use in home these are secondary to having full time breathable air. Howard Hughes - I am not.
