Try no margarine, it is a poison, use extra virgin olive oil on sandwiches and toast and salads. a tablespoon of olive oil daily will bring down bad cholesterol. Statins can make the old fellow not work so well, I tried with old fellow less willing to work, so stopped right away then back to normal. Agree with comments above re fish oil or oily fish

One can get ABC Asia on True Visions, usually live show 4-5 matches per week, But no all condos connected to True Visons on cable. I checked before I rented my current condo, True office can tell you whether your condo is connected to True. (ask at least 3 times to be sure), I have a friend in Suk 32,, he can get True but his True package does not include ABC Asia. If I could not get ABC Asia at my unit I would go elsewhere.

Any car with a Thai number plate will be stopped by Laos police and have to pay a bribe, almost standard

There is plenty of Ovaltine available in Australia, maybe not enough heroin

My work permit was cancelled about 5 years back as retired. No need to tell the banks anything. Even when obtained a renewal of passport with new number I advised the banks of new passport number. No questions were asked about visa status, so recommend keep silent. I have bank accounts with BBL and KBank

I tried online just last week and submitted and got a message to update my TM30 after waiting 4 days, updated the TM30 with my landlord immediately and then nothing. The landlord advised he had received the same request from other tenants. So submitted via an agent, again as time was running short.

Lithium prices have dived by up to 80% in recent times. A large mine in Australia has just shut down and another project making Lithium Hydroxide has ceased expansion in Western Australia, which is the largest producer of lithium minerals. It would take a miracle for this project to advance given a lack of attractive mining rules in Thailand. It is not just the mining but the processing of lithium ores into materials such as lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate used in electric batteries.

Chlorine based bleach is made by bubbling chlorine gas into caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) solution and is sold by Haifer in light blueish green bottles, cheap as anything. Note on the bottle says should be used for white clothes only, The pink one is for coloured clothes so useless for mould. Take care as if reacted with acidic solutions will give off chlorine gas. The strenght depends on percentage of chlorine gas used in the manufacturing process.

It appears when doing a 90 day report online that it failed as requested/demanded an updated TM30 without specifying if updated what to do with the updated TM30. The landlord advised when requested that there have been many requests to them for updated TM30

I went to Phuket once over 20 years ago and would never go again. Why - because of the taxi mafia, no doubt controlled by a cabal with taxi owners, local authorities and the infamous what they call police. No one so far has had the balls to get this under control. I know personally of expats and Thais who will never go to Phuket again, because of the taxi mafia which leaves a rotten taste from arrival to departure.
