Thanks to all poster for their help and suggestions. I have a lot to check out. I appreciate the help.

No, the water pump runs the same as always. Not so often.

I'm not sure I follow what your saying. After the tank is full, I have turned off the supply valve. After awhile, the tank will become empty. Other than the supply pipe, the only other pipe is at the bottom of the water tank and goes directly to the water pump. All the area and pipes are dry. The plastic tank is sitting inside the patio area on a tile floor, which is dry. So much water is gone, and to where. Without a trace or wet area. Very strange. My Thai lady is thinking 'ghosts'...

It's a townhouse, not a condo, and yes I have access to all the pipeworks.

It's been fine for 6 years, never had any problems. The supply side adds water up high, close to the top of the water tank so even if it was draining back it could only go down a little bit. Now it goes down to almost empty.

There is no problem with the water supply, coming to the house, refiling the tank. If I turn of this water supply, the tank will soon be empty. As if it is leaking out but no water is anywhere to be seen. It is dry everywhere around the water tank and the patio. I am in Parkrungeng, off soi Khao Talo. I pay my monthly water bill to a small private post office type shop.

Hello, looking for some help please. I am living in a townhouse on the darkside. Very recently the water tank is empty almost daily. I don't see any wetness anywhere or any signs of water leakage. Any thoughts ? Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes, doctors move around But do you really think that top doctors, many who trained internationally, would move from a quality private hospital to a lower Gov't. hospital.

Everyone always talks about the 21 million and this is a fixed-limited supply BUT being the whole bitcoin game is a man-made invention I don't see anything that would actually prevent a consensus from raising the 21 million BTC to 50 BTC. I don't really think this would happen as it might crash the market prices but it's certainly possible . Any I wrong and this is impossible ???

Diazepam, or similar, can be bought at some pharmacies. You would need to ask around, possible asking some of the younger people, about the diazepam. No pharmacies' will sell you codeine but there some clinics that have it. My Thai lady was given a smaller amount of codeine pills when she did her breast implants. Another option for the codeine is to buy some poppy seeds at Friendship market in Pattaya. Easy to make the tea and Google can show you how. You need to VERY careful as you sip the tea as it contains both codeine and morphine. Highly addictive as you might imagine. You will have all the usual side effects of codeine and morphine. Poppy seeds are expensive.

Years ago, I read that ulcers are best treated with a certain antibiotic. Google would know more. Just a suggestion.

I agree that for holiday visitors taking both of these would be a good idea if they plan to bareback. I know that acyclovir is used to limit herpes infections and can also used used full time, at lower dosages, to limit or prevent outbreaks. I'm purely speculating that if you took a full dose of acyclovir for 1-2 weeks while on holiday that it 'might' prevent you from getting herpes. The drug stops the herpes virus from replicating But I don't know if it would actually stop a person from getting the infection initially. I'm old so I remember back in the 70's, where there was no HIV and not much talk about herpes. We screwed like crazy and the worst thing I ever got was the 'drip', Gonorrhea that was easy cleared up by a shot of penicillin or taking some pills for a few days. Those were the days of Sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll. Sex was carefree, fun, and usually free. Times have changed.

I believe that I read that the Doxy PEP can be taken for up to 4 months continuously. It does seem like a lot of pills to take just to 'maybe' have relatively safe condom free sex. Some might conclude that is more trouble than it is worth. It's a personal decision for each to make.

A quick Google search using "Doxycycline for STI Prevention:" will show many different results . Some show 50% protection, some show 70-80% protection, depending on many factors. A lot of different results seem to depend on if you run into drug resistant gonorrhea. Pattaya has a lot of resistant gonorrhea due to the high number of sex workers. All the results are Far from the 99% that PeEP offers. Your right that you could just treat infections if or when you get them. Lots of reading if your interested : https://www.google.com/search?q=Doxycycline+for+STI+Prevention%3A&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

I'm guessing that there are men who will take the PrEP along with the Doxy PEP so they have potentially avoid most of the sexually transmitted diseases. I believe that I read that the Doxy PEP is only 65% effective in preventing gonorrhea and syphilis. Then you still might get the genital warts and herpes. The good old fashioned condom, with no side effects, has a lot to offer. Taking all these pills just so you can come inside a sex worker does seem like a lot of effort and risk to your body, liver and kidneys, and your still not 100% protected from gonorrhea, syphilis, warts, and herpes. The happy ending massage sounds pretty good, all things considered.

Yes, I get tested regularly, as part of my general health care. I don't do any bareback sex, yet. Hahaha

This PrEP is new info for me. I believe I read that there are 3-4 different types of PrEP. As an 70 year old male, who is not using drugs or needles, which PrEP medicine would be the best one to take ? Can it be bought at any Pattaya pharmacy ? Any idea concerning price ? Thanks for any info.

Ya, nothing going on here...Hahaha....Billions , soon trillions but Nothing going on here.

Agree 100%. In the case of someone who has had 3 colonoscopy's already and never had any polyps, now age 70, it seemed like it might be good. I did read about false negatives and false positives but the regular colonoscopy doesn't even check for cancer/blood and relies on visual inspection only. I could be wrong or misunderstanding the info. I never heard about this test and thought it was a new thing but I think I read it came out 10 years ago. Can it be bought in Thailand ?? Cost in not a concern. Thank you Sheryl for all the help you give everyday.

Anyone try 'Cologuard' ? Good ? bad ? available in Thailand ? your thoughts ? https://www.cologuard.com/

Poppy seed tea is also very effective for pain. It contains morphine and codeine and other chemicals. Easy to make, just Google it for instructions. Don't eat the seeds but just wash off the chemicals found on the outside of the seeds and drink the liquid. As it does contain morphine/codeine be careful and start out Very slowly. It can be addicting and will get you high. No surprise there. Seed prices have recently gone up a lot. In Pattaya, the only place I have seen poppy seeds sold is at Friendship markets for 1,075 baht a kilo. You should only drink a small amount and wait one hour to see how you feel. You can always drink more But you don't want to do too much. One thing to keep in mind with poppy seeds or Kratom is that being a natural product chemicals found inside will vary greatly between batches, due to growing conditions and various strains. WARNING: do NOT take poppy seeds when you travel outside Thailand as in some countries they are illegal and you can be jailed. All other parts of the poppy plant are illegal most everywhere. Be careful and be safe. You can get all the usually side effects that normally come from morphine.

Anyone have any current info on where I can buy cheese cake locally in Pattaya, Not online. I found some at 'The Chill' on the darkside but it's not as I remember the NY cheesecakes . I have looked but don't see 'Sara Lee' cheese cakes locally, only online. Anyone try 'KIKI Cheesecake Pattaya' ?? I don't see any delivery option on their website. "Thanks for any suggestions. I know that I should just go ahead and make it myself but I am lazy.
