i have not been eating past 3 pm to give my body time to burn off the calories before bed.

 

but needs to be high in protein and fat to keep you full.

1 kg spinach is 240 cals - that will fill you up, but I get your point

realistically though, i dont eat in restaurants much.

good luck being strict and cooking for yourself to control what foods go into your body. 

total nonsense - way easier to do yourself & control what YOU put in

it's not that easy and the diet gets boring and monotonous. 

also, say goodbye to your social life. you can't go out late at night for beers and chips.

rubbish - simply budget your calories to accommodate or simply just accept that you will go out & enjoy life like a grown up

gets boring as hell.

but i dont wanna be fat ever again. 

 

total nonsense- you will end up not only fat, but fat & miserable

Well, no responses to the suggestion to change the "Patong – the Wake" name, so here goes with a few other snippets.

 

First of all there was an absolutely superb piece on Thaiger called, 
Russian brotherhood stealing Phuket jobs.
https://thethaiger.com/news/phuket/russian-brotherhood-stealing-phuket-jobs

 

And it pulled no punches and covered many things that bug folk here in Patong, including corruption and the slack BIB, amongst many others; well worth a read.

Luckily enough I don't drive fast here either on my motorbike or in my car, so when I was driving my bike along Nanai Road at about 35 to 40 km/h, I was able to brake sharply, very sharply when a younger Chinese guy decided to walk out into the road without looking and I just about stopped with my front wheel touching his leg, and I shouted some obscenities at him which he probably didn't understand, however the Thai motorbike taxi guys sitting nearby gave me the thumbs up and laughed.

I thought the situation in Patong had improved somewhat, however there still seem to be some small businesses closing down and one of them used to be called "Cheap Charlies" in Nanai, and it was a guesthouse which wasn't that expensive (not too hard to fathom that was it) before it changed owners and names, and now it is up for sale/rent/lease. Another couple of shops in Nanai have gone the same way, and judging by the very few bar mongers around these days, I would suggest that one or two other bars in Nanai would be following that pattern.

Haven't really been out in Bangla as have had quite a few hospital visits what with cutting out a cancer on my chest, and also some major dental work which involved many big injections, which I hate, and which will be about 68,000 baht when the final bill comes in. And when it is all over I will go out on Bangla and celebrate one way or another!

Tim misses & assumes quite a few things here, the taking jobs part (in many fields) is very questionable - Ive been looking for Russian staff for months, many of the other points do hit home. More so for the long termers. In general a monoculture business model is not desirable, with this I agree. 

HOWEVER  I also remember similar rhetoric regarding the Chinese a few short years ago, then the pleas for them to return in order to displace the Indians. It seems only gullible "farangs" with deep pockets and a penchant for being fleeced are welcome here............

I know what you mean. However the info he gives is very good. I was especially impressed when I next fired up my (less than 1 year old) potentially overpriced dealer fitted camera and heard the startup sound.

could you summarise for those of us less tolerant

Looking for a recommended back Doctor here in Phuket please?

Only in the UK is this word a thing mate - look for podiatrists, of which there are many

Just riding around I see collections of second-hand fridges/freezers in front of shop-houses quite often, presumably for spares/repair/recycling. I'd stop at one of those and have a look around.

Did that - seemingly this part is a regular fail, as no veg baskets to be found. Will have a look in the centre in town

You can order them at the LG Service center. Take note of the exact model number and give them a call.

I looked on the website to no avail, will give them a call thanks

As it says, some of the plastic "baskets" in my fridge are damages & am looking to find replacements. Any one with any leads ? 

Its LG in case that matters 

try "defense soap" or similar - in addition to the meds, this is a soap used by wrestlers etc as they are constantly getting staff infections.....

I want an EST because I like to know if my heart has any problems,but since an EST can't tell 100% of your heart condition I want a CT calcium scan too.2021 I had some heart problems,pain in left arm and chest while jogging,and one time during the night while sleeping after drinking and eating like a pig the evening before(suspected Angina Pectoris),doctor prescribed Vastarel 35mg,Isotrate Isosorbide 10mg,Isosorbide Dinitrate Sublingual 5mg and Cardiprin 100mg.After a few weeks my symptoms got better.Anyway since that happend I stopped drinking alcohol and changed my diet,I lost 10 KG(102kg to 92KG,190cm tall) weight and feel better but once in a while I still get light pain.Now covid is almost gone so I think it is a good time to do some tests.In March I want fly back to Europe for a while and see some doctors maybe not to bad if I have some medical documents for them.So what is wrong or dangerous with an EST and CT Calcium Scan?

Nothing wrong nor dangerous, what is dangerous is a little knowledge (to some people)

.....................maybe when the OP didn't understand "rag on" he was thinking "rag head".

I was more referring to his disparaging remarks about draft dodgers and our subcontinental friends, given that we are all foreigners here it was a bit Orwellian with a pinch of it aint half hot mum 

do you have a contact number?
