Re: British Food

This dish is made from all that was left over from Sunday roast in our case mostly roast venison and all left over veg. I am sure ...

Re: Where To Refill Bottled Medical Grade Oxygen in Hua Hin

I had a friend who had his oxygen supplied by Hua Hin hospital and they came with refills when needed. Maybe worth trying the hospital again. If nothing else gives peace of mind re quality of oxygen

Re: British Embassy Income Letter

Yes you go to post office and ask for postal order ,it takes a while as not all know what it is. I have never asked them to nominate to whom or where just fill it in myself. I send it ems and return ems and 10 days is about right but remember 10 working days. Been doing it for 11 years no problems.

Re: Bupa Thailand health and accident insurance

I agree that medical insurance can be very expensive. However if limited to Asia it reduces the cost dramatically.

Try the insurance broker o soi 94 Siam Consultants , Franc Racine, i am sure you will get a reasonable quote.
