  1. Do you want censorship of what you say and write - who decides what is fake news the government - sounds like they only want to hear good news - governments that can take criticism are governments tha are healthy - 1984 George orwell - read it
  2. My advice Exercise and better diet - no processed food - Exercise 30 minutes a day and stretching routine Statins have little effect on cholesterol - a great effect on big pharma profits Your numbers are generally very good for a man of your age' Diet and exercise - drugs have side effects that could lead to more druga
  3. I was intrigued by the observation that illegal workers involved in the tourist industry particularly in Pattaya have a greater command of English than local workers - this reflects on the abysmal education system provided by the government with regard to English proficiency and may indicate that the government is happy that the general public have poor language skills which eases their job in saving money and thus precipitates an obediant population
  4. Have been in Thailand continuously since 1993 - Lived In Sattahip for 29 years - Throughout that time I have always had a THai bank account I have always rented a property usually renewable yearly I have been married to a Thai woman and been divorced Last Friday I travelled to roi et province as my girlfriends family live there I had already arranged a new lease on a house in Roi Et I have a 1 year Retirement visa obtained in Pattaya last October I went to Bangkok Bank to transfer my account to the local branch in Roi Et Firstly the bank told me they can't do it until I get a form from Immigration - did that 500 Baht lighter - I asked is that the only thing i Need - she said yes that is all Next day arrived at bank with form , passport, bank book - was told by some snooty matron like woman that was not enough and that I needed the land document of my girlfriends parents - an original document - rather irrate I said what if I came alone - she said that they wouldn't give me a bank account after 30 years with a Thai bank account and a i year visa and the permission form form Immigration Anyone at there explain why this happened - JGV

  6. i can think of many more people thaat need eradicating around the world - dogs treated well will be friends for life unlike fickle humans who are totally unpredictable - power hungry 0r silent with no personality
  7. china believes that taiwan is a part of china and therefore he sees actions by the taiwanese government as that of a rogue state - whether i agree or not it is sending a message to the thai country to support china's stance on the island or take the oppostance in supporting the us governments claim that taiwan is an independant country
  8. Last year had a hernia op - private room stayed 5 days 80, 000 Baht I think Maybe a few thousand cheaper -
  9. Government's faillure to create an environment for more Pattaya visitors - males to return post Covid - stupid Covrert regs and inflation is the cause
  10. human greed which accelerates global warning and inevitable weather tragedies increased temperatures and a dystopian future - i am pleased that i am old but the youngsters face a future as seen in AI and The Terminator - these fictional films will become reality
  11. heart problems - when he was in exile did he have any heart problems - naivety is an amazing quality -

    Will Advice

    I recently went to Banglamung Amphur as I wrongly believed that they could assist in depositing my will and confirming what documents would be needed for my Thai partner to access my funds after my demise- The will has a Thai translation done by an officer in Thai Navy and the person at desk just said the office doesn't deal with farang wills only Thai and wasn't interested in a continued discussion I have heard about joint bank accounts and a ATM card as an alternative but I guess the partner would be acting illegally if withdrawing just after death - withdrawing just before death - in need of advice that will work - I am not currently sick and hope to live for a long time but my girlfriends position with regard to receiving my money which is my intention apears to be not straightforward here in Thailand - Advice Black Jack please
  13. Tragic but self inflicted - He thinks he is Peter Fonda in Easy Rider but has no incite into driving a powerful motor bike - Tighten regulations about renting and buying a bike over 250cc and maybe fatalities will be reduced - male ego cause of death
  14. Thai youth want effective action campaign to criminalize Lao Tao whisky which legally kills thousands each year in Thailand - just check out cirrhosis deaths and there causes
  15. no details - this warning is totally unreliable without details - fear is the name of the game
  16. Reflects the fact that Thai governments do nothing to help workers being exploited by their employer alongside no consumer rights here at all - very backward style of government
  17. this nationalistic right wing ignorance enables thailand to stay as a 3rd world country - endemic is the status that moves the world forward to recognise that omicron covid isn't life threatening to those without comorbidities - these people call themselves an opposition party but should choose battles where they have a plan

  20. anyone know where i can get a simple aspiration procedure for hydrocele that isn't going to cost a huge amount of cash - thai private hospitals seem determined to match exorbitant us prices for a simple 25 minute out patient procedure i am near pattaya but pattaya bangkok hospital want 2000 baht for an initial consultation and didn't say in correspondence whether this procedure was available - expensive surgery is but for a non life threatening problem i am not keen on anyone making cuts in my sctotum and giving me a huge bill for my pain john local hospitals preferred - banglamung,chonburi - sirikit already saw me and said surgery only - a dreadful experience with a doctor hungry for cash but not into patient requests and walked off when i asked for a copy of the estimated cost john
