So what if they sit on the floor to eat?? Lots of cultures do so. It doesn't mean you're better than they are. Thais question a lot more than you think but they're taught to keep some things to themselves. Free speech isn't a thing here in case you hadn't noticed

Oh grow up Prayut most definitely did not say that. He merely said that if these women parade around in ordinary public areas, they are bound to attract the attention of men, a handful of whom may take things too far. I remember when we used to laugh at other ethnicities who complained of discrimination here. We'd say things like "Thailand isn't PC so if you don't like it, . . ." Now that we're on the receiving end, suddenly the softer, snowflake types among us are crying "racism". What happened to the attraction of no political correctness?

You make it sound as if the Thais are somehow mourning this development. I don't think they are. Can't speak for all Thais but the ones I know rank Brits at the bottom of the barrel as far as crappy behaviour in their country is concerned.

Get ill in Vietnam and find out. Oh, and criticise the Vietnamese government as vocally as many here do the Thai administration and you'll find your life getting very difficult, very quickly. The Vietnamese Communist Party doesn't play. Thais don't "hate" white folk; they've just learned not to give us the benefit of the doubt as readily as they did in the past. I guess that might seem like a negative to the more entitled among us.

What's "rip-off" about the exchange rate? I don't hear yanks bitching. Or Indians. Or Chinese. The pound is where it is because of the stupidity of the British electorate in voting to leave the EU. The pound has never recovered the 55 baht it enjoyed on June 23, 2016 and it's likely it never will.

Granted but I'd point out that those Brits getting into trouble for these crimes in Thailand most definitely are.

And, consequently, they attract even more of the low-end degenertes Thailand is trying to rid itself of.

Yes but there are pretty valid reasons for farangs featuring more prominently in the Thai media. So many behave like absolute scum. Beating up women, sexually assaulting their pupils, dealing drugs, assaulting policemen and even sexually assaulting a HORSE . . . . .

Wouldn't you consider aquablation again?

This is commonplace. The media's just reporting more often now. Mostly farangs and Thais seem to be getting fed up with it

Don't like the content of the news so it's time for the censors, right?

Of course the majority are Thai; it's their country I'd imagine he was referring to the foreign paedophiles who are ALWAYS white and from either UK, US, NZ and Germany.

Look, I responded to some idiot who said the following: I merely pointed out that it's white people who seem to cause more trouble in this country than any other foreigners, especially at the moment.

Charming bigot, aren't you?

OK well put it this way, if you were going to prison in the morning, would you prefer your future inmates to believe you were being jailed for dealing drugs or for penetrating underage boys and girls? I mean, I don't know about you but I've never read about an African being arrested with kiddie porn or on pedo warrants from home. From what I've seen, that is the preserve of white people here and no matter how much we like to pretend it doesn't happen, it is and always should be a source of deep shame for the community.

Same way the white pedos and woman beaters do

That remark plumbed hitherto unknown depths of stupidity. From what I've seen lately, all the "trouble" being caused here by foreigners seems to emanate from white people parked up here for any of a number of reasons including evading law enforcement back home or molesting children. Swiss white men beating up women in Big C, Kiwi white men assaulting and disarming a police officer causing his weapon to be discharged in the struggle, a Brit white man fainting upon realising the police had come to arrest him for sexually assaulting a number of his students and other Brit nabbed for dealing drugs in Phuket. I could go on but you get the point or at least you should if you've not already flushed your brains out with this morning's bowel movement.

What's that supposed to mean?

Always one idiot lowering the tone

No way is the nonce in that picture 28. More like 68.

Thanks Sheryl She received the hall-clear on her lung x-rays and ECG. The hack reiterated his opinion that it couldn't be menopause and ruled it out completely. I advised her to go to MedConsultAsia clinic in sukhumvit. They're inexpensive and reasonably competent from what I've experienced. Instantly recognised perimenopause. The doctor's own mother is going through it right now so it was all familiar. Prescribed some valium for sleep because the insomnia and resulting fatigue is the most debilitating symptom. Some amitriptyline for anxiety/depression and some oestrogel. No progestin though

A lady near and dear to me seems to be having all the symptoms that a layman might associate with perimenopause. These include: Extreme tiredness/fatigue Heart palpitations Bone pain Hot flashes Vaginal dryness Frequent urination In her efforts to determine what's wrong with her, she's 1. Had a curettage that removed a benign polyp, 2. Had a pap smear that was clear, 3. Commissioned a urine culture that was negative 4. Had a thyroid check that was fine and 5. Had kidney function test which was normal The last three were done at a reputable lab in Bangkok. I suggested she might be perimenopausal but she's skeptical because she still has periods. Obviously, I've tried to explain that perimenopause is the transition to menopause and not the "haven't had a period in 12 months" that menopause usually refers to but she reasons that none of her similarly aged female friends have encountered her symptoms so it's probably bunk. Anyway, she is currently relying on the inept administrations of a hack OB/GYN at a state hospital somewhere in Bangkok. He's ordered an x-ray of her lungs and an ECG saying that her palpitations and her hot flashes warrant an immediate check of those organs but he hasn't even considered prescribing a low dose course of HRT. Does anyone know of a decent OB/GYN in Bangkok who doesn't charge too much and would at least consider her age (49 in July) and her symptoms as warranting some sort of investigation into perimenopause? I know there are no definitive tests to diagnose this challenging condition but a woman her age uttering these symptoms to a GP in the UK would hear the words "peri/menopause" and "HRT" more or less straight away. Thanks for any help.

One year has passed since my Rezum experience. Pleased to report there are no issues with the prostate; flow remains excellent and I regularly sleep 7 hours straight without needing to void. The wedding tackle remains in full operation with no ED or EjD. I did have an issue with a UTI that proved more stubborn than I thought these things could be. I took myself up to Bria Labs in Lad Phrao for my regular blood panel and asked for a urine culture. 3 days later, they sent me the results showing a resistant strain of E.coli. The report listed a number of antibiotics that the strain was vulnerable to including Augmentin, an Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid concoction. Took those twice a day for 2 weeks and they cleared up the UTI completely. Sadly, however, the Augmentin has taken out my gut flora (also known as "healthy bacteria") so I've noticed changes to my stool that haven't resolved more than two weeks since finishing the course.

Oh another one who reads the Daily Mail. I'm guessing you think the earth is flat too

What's that got to do with Covid surges?
