They range from around 60 to 300 with a discount for frequent movie club card users. The 300 is a love seat at the very back so with another person it is 600 or 500 for two with the card. The less you pay the shittier the seat or location or both. They are all reserved.

Looking for a different hotel
Grandpollo replied to Anfield's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
Homosexuals or cigarettes? -
There you go when they use old tires and peat moss it droops somewhere else as a result. It is amazing that pretty basic construction of a reinforced concrete slab cannot be figured out.

When I left in August they had already finished the repairs on the closed runway so they should all be open unless a repair could last only a month. Of course, TIT.

Apple does not sell Apple branded batteries was my meaning. The Apple store sells all sorts of things, with not the best pricing on most of it but theirs where they are at least even with competitors. The combo case/battery for iPhone have been around a long time and apart from the extra size are popular. The other products are external with cables to the device: http://www.hypershop...ne-USB-s/91.htm Hyperjuice batteries go right to 222 WH which is huge for a laptop. Almost four times the capacity of the 64 WH stock battery in a 13" MacBook Pro.

In warranty you should let them as it is covered. Outside of warranty you do it yourself with a "spudger" and a new battery. Here's the guide from a place that sells the parts and tools and are renowned for the guides:

Apple? Of course they do. Just a part like any other part. And there are vendors for external iPod, iPhone, iPad batteries and external MacBook batteries, some of those of immense capacity and more than the one inside the laptop.
-
Apple does not sell these external batteries but loads of merchants do in varying capacities, even enough to power MacBook laptops for many hours. The point is that a 5V, 2.1A device won't benefit from a 3.7V, 1.5A battery and as it says on the package it is for cell phones. And grossly overpriced at $60 to boot.

Ancef (Cefazolin) is what is normally used for injury where doctors think there is a big risk of infection, vs. penicillins which are not likely to be of help and until allergies are known or not, quite dangerous to give without confirmation. Pretty much seen now for respiratory problems and syphilis. Every episode of ER you would hear them call for a gram of Ancef. Cephalosporins still retain the "core" of how penicillins work with less adverse reactions and a broader spectrum. If one was to carry a few antibiotics for routine infections like an infected cut or scratch, Keflex would be better than penicillins, plus Cipro for traveller's diarrhoea, and maybe a sulfa for urinary tract problems.

The iPad requires a charger of 5V at 2.1 amps. 1.5A may run it in conjunction with a non dead battery. If it wasn't 3.7V that is, since iPad charge at 5V and 2A. 3.7V is a common charging voltage for a cell phone. $60 for a battery is pretty steep to be honest.

Do you think it is an acronym for something? Well there's always Wikipedia: The tog is a measure of thermal resistance of a unit area, also known as thermal insulance, commonly used in the textile industry, and often seen quoted on, for example, duvets and carpet underlay. The Shirley Institute in Manchester, England developed the tog as an easy-to-follow alternative to the SI unit of m2K/W. The name comes from the informal word "togs" for clothing which itself was probably derived from the word toga, a Roman garment. The basic unit of insulation coefficient is the RSI, (1 m² K / Watt). 1 tog = 0.1 RSI. There is also a clo clothing unit equivalent to 0.155 RSI or 1.55 tog. A tog is 0.1 m2K/W. In other words, the thermal resistance in togs is equal to ten times the temperature difference (in °C) between the two surfaces of a material, when the flow of heat is equal to one watt per square metre. British duvets are sold in steps of 1.5 tog from 4.5 tog (summer) to 15 tog (extra-warm). The stated values are minima, actual values may be up to 3 tog higher. According to British retailer John Lewis, tog guidelines for duvets are as follows:[1] Lightweight summer duvet: 3.0 - 4.5 tog Spring/Autumn weight duvet: 7.0 - 10.5 tog Winter weight duvet: 12.0 - 13.5 tog

What did a tog turn out to mean, 4.5 or 2.5 etc.?

Is this a good rate for a rental car?
Grandpollo replied to bigdelta's topic in Transport in Thailand
Without corporate rates a sale at Hertz usually equates to just a bit more than everyone else vs. a lot more than everyone else. -
Moist areas tend to attract fungal infections vs. bacterial ones. You're right that oral antibiotics can make fungi flourish more in the orifices like pussy and mouth, mind you. Carry a tube of clotrimazole (dirt cheap this stuff) for this sort of thing and athlete's foot which I get a lot in the damp.

Pharmacists in my experience in Pattaya are dispensers. If you know exactly (and I mean exactly - drug, generic and trade name and dosage and form) what you need then fine, otherwise they are not physicians and can't and shouldn't diagnose things. You did no harm using whatever anyway - it was probably Acyclovir cream but on a zit. And It is effective on both Herpes 1 or 2 so it could have treated a HSV 1 cold sore though they do tend to resolve on their own fair enough. And it only helps maybe 1/2 to 1 day less than your immune system does. If you didn't pay, say $20, and ended up with useless cream no harm done.

Interesting Trip to the Local Clinic
Grandpollo replied to lolex's topic in Doctors, Dentists, Clinics and Hospitals
Some Gonorrhoea infections are asymptomatic. If you are at a STD clinic pay for the test, plus VDRL (Syphilis) and really using the odds to determine HIV testing is not a great idea. Get that done as well. I am amazed an MD would use the absence of "typical" symptoms to decide against a Gonorrhoea test then talk about gambling on HIV testing or not. They knew well of asymptomatic Gonorrhoea in the 70's at the NIH: In a prospective study, 133 male contacts of 102 women with gonorrhea were examined. A diagnosis of gonorrhea was made in 63 patients, indicating an infection rate of 47% after exposure. Forty-three percent of the patients with gonorrhea were asymptomatic. The duration of the asymptomatic period ranged from 3 to 154 days. The epidemiologic importance of this hidden infectious reservoir is stressed. Don't forget Chlamydia, even if it is not as harmful for men you can infect women. -
Bonking Billys Thailand Diary

If the link doesn't work (if it says not outside the UK as it is Amazon.co.uk) change co.uk to com in the URL and it is free at Amazon.com -
I think the hospitals sell them as a way of getting new patients. Search here on bicycle or bike. There are threads about where the bike stores are in Pattaya.

Maybe because even though you said a price you told people "no offers thanks".

I doubt there is an airport on Earth with no departure tax, either cash or paid in the fare. Pain in the ass when it is cash and only local cash like Cuba.

The mysteries of the interweb. All these are is code hosted on a site that is willing to do this (timeanddate.com is a good one), put between tags in HTML and then the feed should appear and when I did it, in an HTML version of the reply (HTML is an option) , it worked fine. I cannot understand how a day later it goes away. Just change your signature each day, simple.

Fuck me too it was running after I posted it, I made sure. Now it can't be edited. Well you can copy and paste the code to test it.
