Why would you play gf with a bar girl in MBK? Walk around holding hands? Do these men actually think they have a relationship?

Because you can tell?

Are those men stupid? Blind?

Don't they see how ridiculous they are?

I'm trying to understand because actually things are pretty obvious.

All the men with Thai bar girls all over Bangkok. Holding hands, playing relationship, buying her things... Guys, honestly: why? I somehow understand the sex for money thing but that pseudo love stuff? Don't get it.

Are there any monthly/annual costs for a Thai bank account or will the bank want to see regular transferrals? I'm only here for four months (uni).

Yep, the show features various people and places. Bamboo is quite popular and has decent steaks!

Right now it's a bronchitis and sinus infection. Unfortunately nothing new to me, especially not with long flights and aircon :/. The other probs got better with increased water intake and my thyroid meds. Would not know where I should have caught Dengue or Malaria.

I'm a she, by the way .

Thanks, I'll take a look at the pharmacy later. So annoying, we're going to Khon Kaen for conference on Thursday and so far I don't know if I can make it. Was so looking forward to it.

My probs have gone much better but now I'm suffering from a bronchitis and it so annoys me . Sinuses and lungs are my weakness and it was just a question of time until it would happen in this air con environment. I'm inbetween freezing and overheating, no matter whether air on or off. Already taking antibiotics and hope the coughing will soon be gone .

Still awake but already feeling better.

Taking my meds, drinking a lot of water, electrolytes and staying inside airconditioned places for most of the day .

I also got a back/shoulders/neck massage today cause my back is hard as stone.

Now the sleep needs to kick in .

I don't think a visa forum is a good choice for a medical diagnosis. It costs very little to see a doctor in Thailand and if necessary your insurance should re-imburse you. You do have insurance, don't you?

This is not about medical diagnosis and yes, I do have insurance. I would not have to pay to see a doctor anyway cause Chula provides health care services for free.

I thought I might just be going through some adjusting problems others could have had as well.

Advice on how to deal with the heat is always a good starting point.

In case it won't get better I'll seek medical assistance, no worries.

Im not a doctor but my father had the same issue (not involving travelling) and eventually he was given thyroid meds which solved it. If you already know you have thyroid issues dont underestimate what neglecting the meds might do to your energy levels.

True, it's probably working its share. I've now got some electrolyte and spent most of today in an air conditioned environment. Had a lot of liquid, too. At least 2 litres. Will see how tonight works out and will give it some time because of the med intake. I simply forgot about the pills because my usual morning routine involves taking them in the bathroom. Stuffed them into a separate bag and there you go. They're now sitting in a prominent position .

Yeah, sorry, occurred to me just now. I have a hypo thyroid function and need to take pills for my hormone level. I don't think it's only that, though. They actually only have a longterm effect.

I experienced the same problems as you.It started 6 years ago,living here I started to sweat a lot even If I was`nt moving.I woke up early in the morning,but wasn`t able to get out of bed until late afternoon.

I got suggestions to check my metabolism,but that was not what I was suffering from from.This october I finally went to hospital here in Thailand after doctors in my home country have been telling me there was nothing wrong with me.

It didn`t take them long to figure out what the problem was............2 main arteries in the heart was clogged up and I had an emergency blocking and I feel much better now !!I I dont sweat and finally Im able to have a proper sleep and wake up in the morning without being exhausted.Im also looking forward to go back to my job offshore where I had big problems coping the last 4 years..

Check your heart and good luck !!!

Umm, this kind of worries me now o_O.

No fever.

It's just so weird that it used to be okay for the first days and got worse when I moved into my own accommodation.

Although I must admit that I tend to stress myself with a lot of paranoid "what if?" thinking, especially at nighttime.

I'm also still waiting for the results of my final exams for my degree and forgot taking my thyroid pills for some time.

Well, things probably just need to settle a little. Take my pills, get some sleep, drink enough water ... how many litres would you recommend?

God, I sound like a total newbie :|!

Bad jet lag and climate adjustment, from the sounds of it. Possibly other stress as well but not enough information to say.

A combination of getting sun exposure during the day, maletonin at nivght and time usually work for the jet lag.

Jet lag two weeks after arrival? Is that possible?

I've only suffered from jet lag once and that was over after a couple of days.

I also feel dizzy sometimes, even a little sick.

So annoying, I have a lot of stuff to do here and can't afford not being fit :|.

Arrived in BKK two weeks ago and have never had such problems before.

First of all, I don't seem to get enough sleep. I rarely fall asleep before 2am and still feel extremely exhausted and tired, even if I get up around noon.

It lasts the whole day, no drinking or drugs involved. Around late afternoon I tend to feel very weak. My body is quite heated up at times although I try to monitor my water intake. I'm awfully tired and just can't seem to stand the heat. Started using the aircon more frequently and even had to shower various times cause I felt so hot.

What's wrong with me and what can I do about it? :|

Health Land Spa offers therapeutic massages as well as foot massage.

I have not tried their facial offers yet, though.

Any experiences with the sois off BTS Phayathai, especially Petchburi 7ish?

Can I move in?

Sent you a PM .

Well, my Thai friends recommended me to pay attention on a couple of things and I would certainly feel better not walking home alone through darkish alleys. Same things I avoid here.

I'm not British, but thanks .

Regarding sexual assaults: even old women get raped. Nothing to do with the looks, I'm afraid.

I'm moving to BKK in January for research at Chula and will be staying until mid of May.

I've been to Thailand various times already but my scholarship is limited and I'm a little worried about where I might end accommodationwise - sois are to be avoided, I guess? But how with all the apartments being in there?

Thanks, although this doesn't really make me feel better ^^.

I don't think Chula will appreciate this .

Yeah, I'll of course have a look myself and my friend will advise me, but I wanted to hear some expat opinions before I head off to BKK . Looks like 99% of the rooms are off the main roads anyway. Not sure whether I'll feel comfy, though. I'm a lot taller than a regular Thai and probably even weigh a couple of stones more but I'm still very obviously a white bread and don't want to be mistaken for a money machine. On Google streetview all sois look narrow, dark and potentially dangerous to me and I'm a bit of a sissy sercuritywise, to be honest.
