    HAVE you not been to the Philippines ???????????????!!!!

    Yes - some lovely girls for sure, but nowhere near the beauty ratio as here....

    They age badly, are intensely jealous, & always seem to have a sweaty sheen about them....Possibly diet related.... They're also deeply locked into catholicism + do not offer the ready smiles that Thai people do....

    Firstly you were taken for an idiot,"as per their instructions"  right,  saw you coming a mile off lol....you paid over odds for visa,paid over the odds for operation at run down state run hospital in Mumbai,  changed airline in India for onward flight to BKK with lower weight limit

     You needed some research,not much tho,Google is your friend

    Had never been to Thailand at that time....Flew in & out of SFO United Airlines via Frankfurt....

    And, obtained the visa as India required....

    The car dropped us at the airport with just enough time to check in....Many people were unhappy with the tarrif....Some discarding stuff, others shipping separately - which we didn't have time to do....The airport had souvenir shops selling a lot of heavy brass/metal bells & trinkets..... Fortunately, we didn't add any weight getting any....We left with the exact same luggage weight we arrived with...

    You keep telling me where I was & where I flew to, what hospital; and to no one's surprise = wrong on all counts.....

    Find someplace else to spout your misguided  nonsense....

    Is this in your dreams?  medical visa?  b.ollocks,tourist visa 6 months 2 visits allowed. Laughable to extreme this statement, "dead bodies in street robbed, after death"  ,how u know they were robbed after death,maybe before ?   ,make believe,  "flew in/flew out scammed " LOL  Think you missed the right dept while there sunshine.

      Just Google or Skype any of private 50 hospitals there in Calcutta, nearest point,see recommendations,surely cannot in Thailand 

     

    True state run hospitals are overrun and foreigners go there too to for treatment, why oh! why?    ,NHS UK flew out patients there,hip/leg replacements   been myself many times   prostate op 43000 baht quote Th, 700US there,one week private room. India medical hub of the world ( Medifee.com)  How much colonoscopy here in TH   35000baht ish     starts 800 baht there

     

    But I do know where you landed....Mumbai,bit of a shock,but just Mumbai,  Calcutta  ? clean,ultra modern,really good,fantastic sights too   2 hours away from bkk    5000baht return,when covid allows

    This was in Chennai & everything as stated = happened....

    Flew in from the states...Received the medical tourist visa from their office in SF as per their instructions.... About 2007...

    Any info on how the hospital works in India if you are just a tourist?

    You have to get a medical visa for entrance to India...

    If you think these hospitals are crowded you're in for a huge awakening at the sea of humanity waiting to be seen in the hospitals there - literally 100's & 100's.... Incredible sight....

    I had opted to have a procedure done there - gall bladder...

    Never again would I opt to go to India, especially after also having surgery here & able to compare services & facilities - hip done here...

    Also beware you may/will be scammed at the airport on the flight out....We flew in with the allowable 50# limit....Flying out you are allowed 40# & taxed on the overage = cost me $400.00 "tax/surcharge/tariff" to take the exact same weight of luggage out that we flew in with ... 

    Horrible place - dead bodies on sidewalks stripped of their clothes...Robbed after death....NO respect for personal space....Traffic that makes the drivers here look good/sane .. .. Misery & dirty everywhere you look....

    They are beautiful but they all look the same.  So after awhile you get used to that look and are not as impressed anymore.  

    My wife and I were shopping at a Tesco/Lotus a few years back, right after the King passed ... I wandered around the store and ducked into Decathlon sports....

    I came out to find my wife, and there they were....Everywhere I looked, close to matching height, long black hair, and all dressed in black = seemed like 100's....

    I cross walked the store a few times trying to find her....

    I was just walking out when my phone rang = she was calling from the car....She had given up trying to find me & had gone through checkout to the car.... 

    That day - yes they all looked the same.....

    But, having been here many a year, they all don't look the same when the clothes come off....Delightfully so....

    WHY do you keep all that paper? Decoration?

    She's had/built on them for years.... She fiercely protects them.... She's been asked, but absolutely will not loan any out.....

    They're kept in a room that's laid out as a library, gym, wardrobe, & mini theater.... There's a nice little nook in there to hide away quietly and read....She also reads books electronically.....

    Our youngest daughter also is building her own library.....A book is usually one first things she buys when she gets a little jingle in her purse....

    Her older sister, nope....

  7. Found Big C2 Hang Dong the same way....Zip for parking was the first clue....

    To be fair they did have all cashier's open & were handling the brisk pace....

    People loading up gifts for their NY exchanges.....

    It's the busiest I've seen it over the past few years .....

    So you had to find year old reports about Nissan US to support your post ????

     

    Nissan global is doing OK, even though all car makers are suffering from a chip challenge.

    No, they've been iffy for a long while... Without Renault they might have no longer even been around....

  9. Back in the 80's the thing to find out, or know about, was which Thai operated restaurant owned & farmed their own garden and spices (brought from TH)... This was usually the ones that Thais sought out & would drive a long way for - passing many pseudo "Thai" restaurants along the way....

    If you had a way of getting that info, you had a "go to" place ......

    Still holds pretty true today....The Thais in the US are quick to point out the good - and bad ones....

    The sale girl called an offer another 15,000 off!   I might have to buy this previous update Terra and just install an aftermarket power tailgate but then my Mux power tailgate sometimes it doesn't close properly.  Plus I've never liked power tailgate my previous 2 SUVs were always acting up.  I think they're slow. Anybody with me on this tailgate?

    Nothing wrong with a manual tailgate with the gas charged self raising lifts/struts....Less to break & trouble free....Click the remote & start the raise slightly - let it swing up....

    Unless you're always going to be opening carrying 2 babies or 2 full shopping bags....
