    This is Thailand, why should the radio have western music all over it? Normal music for Thai is luktung, morlam, phua cheewit, string etc not western sounds. People will never be demanding international bands beyond a few such as Blackpink or BTS while they have such great music of thier own, one thing Thais have a genius for is music.

    Thailand does not need inflated western ego's, some with minimal talent coming at enormous cost. The few that have appeared here like Elton John, the Gaga woman and potty mouthed Cardi B have not gone down that well. For tickets costing thousands of baht Thais expect to see a show and be entertained, turning up is not enough. 

    Are you speaking from experience when you say the shows you mentioned didn’t go down well? I’m sure you didn’t even show up for them. I did. Elton John was a sell out and most of those that attended were Thai’s and yes it wasn’t cheap but much cheaper than seeing them in a western country. Not everyone in Thailand stick to their traditional music which by the way I listen myself. They want to broaden their music tastes which I’m guessing you don’t have.

    Yes I do have experience since I am disabled myself and I would also prefer not to be disabled. The Occupational Therapist also makes an assesment of the urgency of need for the modifications and the job is placed in a queue. He will probably go straight to the top

    Pray tell me how you get £300 per week then so I can apply because I certainly don’t get it. Maximum you can get from PIP including carers allowance is £250.

    Not true.  Holes are punched in the old USA passport (thereby invalidating it) and returned to you along with the new passport.  The holes indicate that you have been issued a new passport. 

    Only if the old passport has expired and being replaced. As previously stated by lopburi3 you can have 2 or more active passports issued by your home country for the very purpose of getting visas, travelling to conflicting countries of interest i.e. Israel/Saudi . I actually had 3 at one stage all legal and in my name. Only one was used for my Thai Retirement stamps and I only ever had to transfer the stamps when my passport became full and I needed an empty one. Same passport used for my bank books.

    Simple,  did you have any difficulty in getting a Thai doctor to prescribe that medication for that kind of off main use purpose?

     

    @Sheryl  Do you have any familiarity with the use of that medication for spinal nerve pain?

     

     

    "Amitriptyline, sold under the brand name Elavil among others, is a tricyclic antidepressant primarily used to treat major depressive disorder, a variety of pain syndromes such as neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, migraine and tension headaches.[10] Due to the frequency and prominence of side effects, amitriptyline is generally considered a second-line therapy for these indications."

    I was prescribed the same here in the UK on top of Butec Patches for my arthritis and sciatica pain for a period but it didn’t agree with me and it caused other problems so they stopped it after a while so care must be taken if used and monitored carefully. However knowing Thai Drs I would only ask advice from a reputable one in a recognised hospital. Home town Drs will prescribe whatever you ask them for.

  5. Watching a video on TikTok, a young girl who lives on the outskirts of London is chatting with a young Liverpudlian lad on video chat. She asks him what time it is in Liverpool. Young lad looks in disbelief and after asking her a few times and confirming where they both lives says to her you’re on a wind up aren’t you. She didn’t even know that London and Liverpool were in the same time zone. So it’s not only Thai girls who have a problem with knowledge.

  6. Anyone else being plagued with google ads pop ups? One after another. Tried turning them off in google but it looks like Thaivisa have set this up. I won’t be reading Thaivisa on a browser anymore. It’s annoying.
