Just trying to help. Hating others using AI, that's likely also just a symptom of your burning pee, its okay grandpa cannot be offended, stay strong.

Have you thought about seeing a doctor? Maybe a urinary tract infection? Behavioral changes are rarely intentional and usually stem from a combination of biological and environmental factors: Biological Brain Changes: The deterioration of brain cells, particularly in areas like the frontal and temporal lobes, can lead to a loss of emotional control and "filters". Communication Breakdown: As language skills decline, individuals may use aggression to communicate basic unmet needs, such as pain, hunger, thirst, or a need to use the bathroom. Fear and Confusion: Memory loss makes the world feel unpredictable. A person may become "mean" or aggressive as a defensive response to feeling threatened by people or situations they no longer recognize. Internal Distress: Factors like poor sleep, certain medications, or medical issues (e.g., urinary tract infections) can lower a person's tolerance and cause sudden irritability.

It would be good to get the real legal aspects on a few of the things related to this. UCEP treatment, the condition must be a life-threatening emergency - in theory first 72 hours. Has anyone ever seen this in action for non-thai's at a private hospital? How about asking to transfer to a government hospital, is that straight forward enough, would you be given the option. Are the being detained illegally, are capable of leaving the hospital, the hospital can follow up with fraud and debt charges which I guess could prevent other hospitals taking them on or them leaving the country until debts are cleared. I guess there is also a direct risk of arrest so needs something in terms of no fraud in play. T

Is there a form you can fill in advance of going to the police station? I also likely have the situation that the one police guy who knew what to do has moved on, last time when he was not there I had a point blank cannot do that here and redirected to border immigration which I knew could not do it, got lucky that someone had his number and he was nearby that day. Thinking if theres a form to fill, that could help if he is not there next time. The regional office part also new to me, hope its not across the board as standard.

Have a look here https://idpeself.sso.go.th/login/, Its in thai only for the most part, I'm still working so covered but it seems to have sections on voluntary continuation of payments but likely need to be within a certain timelimit of the payments through work. It will also show the history of your payments and pension calculation, note if multiple jobs they may have not linked them to same account so you may have missing years. Takes quite a few years to get a pension though, I think I worked it out about 3k a month so very low but worth it if it keeps you in insurance loop. You can select a designated hospital once a year, slow service but often same doctors as the paid places, just very slow.

This is one that I've struggled with, also trying to switch from a house up north to a Bangkok ideally without going back to police station in the north who tend to have no idea on steps involved. I think some lawyer companies may do it registering at their buildings, I had an offer to go on a lawyers personal house before but took the house up north option. The first time its only for one year so a temp option may work if you can find a friend, but on second year its 5 years which is why its on a back burner for me to sort but I will face this situation so following to see if some good options.

Not sure why but made me think of Benny hill in the italian job.

Criminal elements aside, if you feel empathy is a useful trait then here's another angle for you to test if its actual empathy or pretense of empathy. Do you think that dude giving you a foot massage wants to be doing that, or that girl cooking your mcdonalds, sure you can empathize with them, you can maybe even empathize with those opting not to cook at home or getting someone else to clean their teeth. If your empathy that they might not like something stops you buying that service perhaps you are lacking empathy for their financial situation. Now sure you can probably free load a foot massage from someone, is it worth the hassle though, does it not trigger your empathy that you feel that freebies is a righteous path? Perhaps that freeloading mentality shows a lack of conscience and verges into sociopath territory? Empathy and judgmental, classic combo, I'm not paying for that😁.

While medicinal-grade cannabis is pricier at 10,000 baht per kilo, this is an interesting element 10 baht a gram for safer stuff, if its straight from a local farm I suspect that may be fair including costs. The shops are selling at massive margins currently, not all but most of them, I saw a reputable seller selling 50g grade B stuff (not brick) for a 1000 baht so 20 baht a gram though there A+ stuff was nearer the 250 mark. If price controls come in including prescriptions prices at around 49 baht at government hospitals then it could end up being better for the consumer. That is unlikely to happen and we may even find prices get inflated further or the quality drops. Some regulation will in my view be of benefit and it will likely mean less profits for the smaller business's but if they bring in cost control, ease of access to prescriptions and zoning usage which are all associated with medicinal usage, perhaps even government sso insurance will pay shops directly there could be benefits for the patient. I also wonder if they capped prices at say 20 baht a gram, how many of those shops would voluntary choose to close? Perhaps todays meds have given me a rosier view on things at least for a couple of hours.

Are these Medical Cannabis ID Card's government issued or currently just shops own cards? Is it related just to getting a prescription and purchases or related to actual usage, I've not seen anything changing actual usage yet. If there was an official not just shop printed cards, I may feel a bit more comfortable carrying and using in designated areas but not sure if its needed currently. Would like to see more on designated areas, out at a central mall and an anxiety or pain attack comes on so you need to take your medicine quickly, needs to be options on that front now its medicinal and used under prescription. Hopefully some of the stigma will be removed at the same time.

No issue wearing a helmet but the availability of helmets seems more of an issue, should we all carry one around? Consider seatbelts, most cars have them so really no excuse for not wearing one. Now and again you get in a car and its broken in the backseat, what percentage of people here would get out the car whether it private or a friends and find other transport? The beeping alert has actually worked very well on this front compared with stop and fine. On bikes it can be similar, only driver does not have a spare helmet, people will weigh things up, is this the last driver of the evening, can I get another quickly, lets just take it and drive carefully. This is likely where we are now. The fine will change that only if its consistent and applied, but drop it and we stay with being fairly stupid when it comes to risk taking. Tech though is there already to scan for helmets at stop signs and traffic lights, that beeping alert may like the seatbelt alert be a better way of changing things at least in the big cities. Notice the change on bikes stopping on zebra's (uk term) due to the alert, it was immediate change, something to consider for helmets in my view.

Casting the religious beliefs and elements aside, I am not going to advocate for those. Francis was known for his interest and offering help in those exact areas you mention "poverty, wars, disease, natural disasters, and climate change" alongside many others that may have a lesser voice. Now compare that to current world leadership, are they focused on those, have they been, would we need to divert attention and resources to those if they were? We do need more voices in this area, I'm not going to suggest politics, greed and corruption does not exist within religious communities but alternatively if they can be a voice for good, why not? There is potential for a lot of good even if past experience may argue otherwise, I dont see a lot of others willing to step up though.

Do they have the same second names and are they both travelling on their Thai passports? Not sure if marraige would even factor in, in that case. I ran into a few issues taking my son abroad, I had signed consent forms from the mother(not married), amphur initially told us no problems. Him leaving on his thai passport with different name from myself, had birth certificate and also legal guardianship documents. Airport, 2am they were calling his mother, wanted letter from amphur with the specific flight details on it. They let us through eventually but bit of hassle. Also to get his thai passport renewed I had to sign, mother could not do it alone. So for me more checking than I expected. However for the other way around, I've not heard if it was him and her on thai passports with same name then not sure I'd be needed, and also agree uk embassy may not do this, risk passes to them.

One of the key personal view aspects is that they've paid their dues and earned that pension in most cases. Some random chatgp numbers, these will be way off and no doubt everyone here can pick massive holes in this as not an economist, its purely food for thought but this looks like its a 13% differential in favor of the government encouraging "average" pensioners to stay in the UK. How does this compare to frozen pension differentials? Pension Credit: £5 billion Pensioner Housing Benefit: £6 billion Winter Fuel Payments: £2 billion NHS - tough one to measure but England say 153 billion for 24/25 and Older adults (65+) generally account for 40-50% of NHS expenditure. 12.6 million pensioners so lets say a round extra cost of 6k per pensioner in the UK. However then you have the recirculation value, non-uk that money is lost to other countries but in UK the pension is re-circulated. Taking account of pure costs NHS etc then its still roughly a 13% extra value impact to government of being in UK and spending that pension. Blame chatgp for random numbers.

I'm wondering if this is the clause she is aiming for? She may have a legal claim under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependents) Act 1975 if she can prove that: She was financially dependent on him before his death. She lived with him as a partner for at least 2 years immediately before his death. *This one I think the sons ruled out. Can of worms though if she was successful.
