  1. All glasses shops do the testing for free. Just go in and test. I assume that works for most people. For me I went to owndays and after 20 mins of tests they couldn't find anything that worked. They told me go to hospital, get a script and come back. The hospital are total stooges and milk every baht they can. First consultation he refused to even do tests saying I have "dry eye". Gave me some overpriced eye drops and said come back in a few weeks. Next time he did the tests. With 2 of the machines apparently requiring an extra surcharge for whatever reason. Eventually he found lenses that worked and have me the stupid bit of paper to take back to owndays. I got it sorted in the end. A few years earlier at kt optic in pattaya they did the tests in store and found the right lenses there and then. I didn't buy though. It just depends I guess.
  2. I bought a leaf boox from Lazada. Free ebooks. Not locked into any shops. Also has Google play store and plays audiobooks. Highly recommend
  3. That's great that I know her license plate. The story just wouldn't have made sense without her registration details. The"carb" urettor joke was hilarious as well. Can't control my laughter.
  4. I get migraines a few times a year where my vision goes shimmery and I can't see clearly. When it happens I can't drive or work and have to just stop and wait it out. It doesn't affect my speech. It's followed by a headache. I saw a doctor about it a few years ago. He said it was called migraine with aura. Googling hemiplegic it kind of sounds similar except a little worse. I read aspirin stops it. The last time I got it at work I took an aspirin immediately and timed it. It took 16 minutes to fix it. Was basically normal afterwards. Now I take aspirin with me everywhere as in the past it has happened and I basically just had to pullover and wait an hour for it to pass. It also says in Google it's an emergency thing and your should go to hospital (hemiplegic).
  5. I'm not ashamed to say I feel like this guy at times. There's a number of younger expats in Thailand but they are mostly busy with work and I don't meet them often. The type of expat that tends to be available to be buddies with is fat old men that like to spend there time in bars shagging hookers. Which is fine but not my cup of tea. So if you have no family and few friends in Thailand and no job life can get lonely pretty fast. Finding good women can be a challenge. Most of the girls in apps are prostitutes or ladyboys. There's a good video about loneliness I saw the other day that I will post below. I didn't realise the physical affects it has on people. It is a common thing and I bet there's a bunch of Reggies in Thailand.
  6. They're definitely Azerbaijani
  7. The "mafia" strikes again. Sounds serious. I never realized the Thais and Italians were so close until I came here and met fat thanakorn and lucky lukchai. When are they gonna stop using this word to describe 2 bit Thai crooks who couldn't organize a flight ticket let alone a multinational criminal network
  8. So billions of baht and they didn't even get a webpage up. How much does it cost to run an expo? Billions and billions!!
  9. There's foreigners working all over those islands without work permits. Thais don't care so why do you
  10. Did you get the a1c test already? My dad and granny has diabetes and my blood sugar kept creeping up to the point it was at prediabetes levels 100-125 a few times a week. I was convinced I had prediabetes for months. When I went to hospital they found the a1c was completely normal and I didn't have it. Diabetes is a symptom of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance can be improved by lifting weights or using resistance bands or exercise in general. Eating triggers insulin so even fasting a bit and skipping breakfast can help. French fries is not really something you should be eating with prediabetes. As for sugar in everything. Yeh it's annoying. This is why everytime I go to hospital the diabetes department is full of Thais. Pattaya is full of poor food options and not much healthy food. I had a similar problem just trying to get no sugar on my vegetables. Best way is to blanch them yourself. I really struggle to think of any place in pattaya offering anything healthy. Easy Health was ok. It's not great but it's better than most places.
  11. Does this guy actually speak English or is he the same as the last one in that regard
  12. Very dangerous trusting Google to remember all your passwords. Much safer using a password manager like bitwarden or LastPass or something.
  13. Yeh that's another thing. I have heard for bar girls on Bangla minimum age is 20. But that was years ago now.
  14. That's interesting as there is a incomplete new Nordic condo right near bang tao beach. The Google reviews are I lost all my money etc etc. Consider yourself lucky
  15. I certainly don't condone adults having sex with any girl under 18. I think that's a good general rule to go by. However I've been here 11 years and am yet to see any clear information on what the actual age is. I've heard 15, 16 and 18. People are often also bound by the laws of there home country regardless. For example the Australian passport ships with a leaflet explaining you can't have sex with anyone under 16, regardless of the countries laws. Although it's common sense for most people, I do think Thailand could make it much clearer.
  16. There's one in phuket I know of but know absolutely nothing about it's called SAFE Fertility centre. There's also a large fb group where you can sell sperm and stuff which I saw once and then was never able to find again. I might have a look again and let you know if I find it. As you're in Canada fb probably won't make it easy to find
  17. I really hope they can straighten this out!
  18. I think the coffee from anniecoffeeroaster on Lazada is great. I used to order from artis coffee Bangkok but switched to this. I find bon cafe and doi chang really rough and strong. If I had to choose from supermarket then it would be lavazza gold tin Oro.
  19. These sorts of stories. Inhuman and cruel, seem to appear way to often
  20. Since when do Thais care about trademarks
  21. My kettle boils quicker than this
  22. 2 x 2 minute rounds. Not really much of a fight
  23. Post office box
