I looked at this site last year when I renewed my UK passport. There were several criticisms of VFS in CM then, so I went to Thai Visa Assist in Changmailand. Smooth, efficient service there.

Fame is transitory. One day Roger Federer, Noli and Rafa will be 'forgotten'. Pele, Ali and Maradona just names. Memory is becoming obsolete. Is this connected with Alzheimer's? Memory used to be greatly cultivated in schools. I don't mean learning by rote. There has always been some of that. It's not just a Thai school issue.

The humorous writer whom I love the best, S. J. Perelman, said, after several visits there, that Indonesia was his ideal. Pretty girls too, he said!

Sorry Kannika P. I didn't mean to shout. It was a pathetic comment though that I was responding to. Best wishes to you. Tomorrow I go to have a urine test at BKK hospital in Chiang Mai. He talked to me last week about having a Cystoscopy. I'll try to thank and update all who have been so kind and informative in their messages. It's very much appreciated. Incidentally, I've looked at US rezum treatment on YouTube. It looks simpler and less expensive.

OMG! Why talk about women when you can have this? Cheaper to run and will go forever. Never 'out of style', responds instantly to the touch, body work immaculate (at least for a good few years), and looks exactly the same in the morning as it did the night before. Older models will satisfy leather fetishists. It hums or purrs - it does not snore. What's not to adore? p.s. if you buy this, you'll probably get the girl(s) anyway.

(Pouatchee) tou do realize this guy starts one off topics and never replies? just check his profile Are you referring to me? If so, it is not true and you should be ashamed of yourself. I only post serious matters hoping for informative and helpful answers. I always try to respond. You will understand that, as I said in my original post, I am 77 years old and ill.

I know that I must speak to my Thai lawyer about this, but I wondered if anyone has any experience of, or thoughts on, a bad situation I face. I have yet more serious surgery soon. I am 77 years old. My EX-girlfriend (EX for 6 years) still lives in my house because I 100% support her wonderful 10 year old daughter. I call her my 'daughter'. Inevitably, that means I support her mother too but there is no legal affiliation between her mother and me. She is a bad woman to me but, because of her daughter, I made my EX the heiress in my Will to my house (held by usufruct), money etc. My EX doesn't deserve to inherit. My daughter does. But can I leave everything to a 10 year old girl? Even if I can, a big problem would be the executor. I have nobody and, obviously, I cannot ask one of her family. A lawyer can be an executor but I cannot see this working. Much too complicated and expensive. I want my daughter to continue living in the house. What if I left my house to my EX together with some money? Could I then arrange with my lawyer that the rest of my money (enough for my daughter to finish her schooling) be 'invested' for her? The only safe way would seem to be in a Thai bank? But held for her until what age? Inflation would presumably far exceed interest paid at a bank BUT at least she would have some money when she is say 16 or 18. And she is intelligent enough to use it wisely, I think. Her mother would have spent most of it on herself long before, without any thought for the future. My EX would have to get a job meanwhile, something she has not had for 8 years. I presume, if I do this, that I must involve a lawyer so that my daughter will be able to access this account without any problem when she reaches the contractually stipulated age. I don't think I can arrange this legally myself with the bank? A difficult situation. Many thanks for any comments!

From Simon43: There are only 3 things that my neighbours and friends need to know: 1 - I have no money 2 - The matches are in the top drawer in the kitchen 3 - After using 2) to incinerate me, bin day is on Fridays :) Brilliant! Simple Simon Says! 'It's no bloody good looking for money! Everything gone on money for 'honey', Cor, strike a light! Out with the matches, 'Bye, my old flames! Reduce me to ashes!'

I don't believe in Heaven but, if I did, I'd like the angel Gabriel (the one with the horn) to say to me at the Pearly Gates: "Hey, man! We've reserved a place for you in the heavenly Trumpet section. You're sitting between Satchmo and Dizzy Gillespie. Clifford Brown, Clark Terry and Roy Eldridge make up the rest of the line." "What, No Miles Davis?" "Nah, man. He p#ssed us all off. We sent him to the other place for being such a miserable motherf###er." And you know what? I've never played a trumpet in my life BUT I opened right up on 'When The Saints Go Marching In'. The boys were impressed!

I am interested in having the REZUM Water Vapour treatment for better urine/urethra flow. The usual problems for an oldie of frequency and urgency, especially nocturia. Has anyone had this treatment in Chiang Mai or Lamphun? Could you recommend a hospital or a specific doctor to contact please? Also, please advise about cost if you have had this treatment. Many thanks.

It certainly pays to shop around if you can. I 've had excellent treatments and service at Bangkok Hospital on Super Highway, including 3 operations (varicose veins stop potential DVT again plus removal of gallbladder). Everything excellent BUT yes, of course, it's expensive. The following 3 are a lot less expensive, I think. My recent post on Prostate Treatment highlighted an excellent doctor at McCormick. My very knowledgeable Thai lawyer had a prostate removal operation there and recommends it. My restaurant owner, a very shrewd lady, had very good cancer treatment at the University hospital now building itself a very good reputation. Sriphat too.

I'm amazed that Thai people pay this ridiculous price for coffee. I have excellent cappuccinos for 65to 70 baht. One excellent coffee shop about 3 minutes walk from Starbucks.

You're lucky, Dany! You can count your blessings. I'm reduced to counting my days! (LOL)

Yes, so dangerous on the roads. I've driven here for 13 years. I think worse now than before CoVid. I refuse to give in over zebra crossings, I'm that stupid. Even when crossing lights are green for me and I'm standing on the zebra it's dangerous. The Road Traffic Act states that drivers/mb riders MUST stop if you are actually on the zebra crossing. The fine for not doing so is, if I remember correctly, 4000 baht. Of course most Thais won't know that, but, prat that I am, I shout it at them and hold up 4 fingers! It sometimes works! Roundabouts are so few. They can't understand that you give way to drivers coming from your right because that's the side i.e. your own driving side, that will get hit!
