Fat Bunnys cafe is good, European owner who knows the customer. Their ice cream is awesome. La Baguette has the best elaborate coffee drinks and food choices. Almond croissants as good as France. No riffraff

Creating a Last Will and Testament at an Amphur office
Rumpelstilskin replied to connda's topic in General Topics
Hot rats has the right idea to fully protect yourself. Went to Magna Carta in Pattaya to get my will done, air tight and solid, 7,000 baht. Next register a copy with the amphur, as HR suggests -

Fixing Thai education is not just a matter of money
Rumpelstilskin replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
So many parents ignoring their children to stare at the phone, as childhood slips away. -
You are planning ahead, which is great because you cant plan behind. If you have a good space for them in your home that would be the best option. They would much rather be close to you than any other scenario. Instal grab bars in the shower/toilet area now because slips and falls arent OK. Wheelchair accessable ramps instead of stairs are easier on the elderly and walker friendly.If you find a good caregiver be prepared to pay. So difficult to find people who can understand spoken English. The daily rate is 1600 baht for someone to stay at the house when you are travelling. Subscribe to whatever periodicals they read in UK, books. Bring in their favorite things from Waitrose/et al. Go get them and fly back with them to avoid any slip ups. You are doing the right thing; Honor thy mother and father is commandment 1.

Recently visited Sapa, Hanoi and Hoi An. Pollution is a major problem and things like sanitation and cleaning the streets dont get done. They have very limited food options compared to Thailand and if you dont like Pho, you'll be hard pressed to enjoy the place. Some things like Fanispan Mountain are awesome and well maintained.

Thailand to abolish hefty import tariff on wine
Rumpelstilskin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Agree that the road taxis are more transparent in Vietnam, where they lag Thailand is motorbike taxis. There are no uniforms, no order or que. Random people asking you to ride with them, no thanks. Vietnam air quality in Hanoi and Sapa both terrible. The food variety and freshness in Thailand is superior. Vietnam doesnt clean up well, too much trash and no one stops to pick it up. Agree about nice new airports, but then what? -
Bill and Hillary attended at least 1 of Trump's weddings, so the 'bad blood' was just politics.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections
Rumpelstilskin replied to oobar's topic in Health and Medicine
Had 3 PRP teatments including hyperbaric air chamber, massage w/ultrasound at Zen Clinic for 13,900 baht. Had a partially collapsed disc between L1 and L2, could barely walk, super painful. 1 month later feel fine. Cant say enough about the doctor and staff -- fantastic. Brought Xrays from Bangkok hospital, the doctor explained exactly what was wrong and why this would work. Talked to American clients who went there for bad knees, they were also pleased. -
Looking for a good restaurant that has wheelchair friendly bathroom. Have visitors coming and would prefer a top hotel or stand alone place (not Central). Dusit Thani and LaBaguette both do NOT have any facilities.

I had Platelet Enriched Plasma treatment at Zen Center Pattaya for a herniated disc tween L1 and L2 two weeks ago and have stopped taking pain medication. Also took 6 acupuncture treatments and physiotherapy. 2 more PEP treatments coming. Will add stretching too.
