So I'm writing for over 2 months now with this Thai girl, 25 years old, extremely attractive. First she agreed to come stay with me in CM, now she demands I go to Phuket for the weekend and says then she will join me in CM. But guess what she just told me? Just to be clear, she does not want to be "tied down", she only wants to have fun and is not ready to be tied down with anyone. "I am afraid to lose my freedom" (freedom to fornicate at will I suspect).

 

This is the first time a Thai girl has literally told me to my face "I want to ride the carousel, yes I'll come have fun with you, but don't have any hopes that I'll stay with you, because I intend to just have fun and ride the carousel until I'm ready to be tied down".

 

I mean I was well aware that girls do this, ride the carousel just to have fun, but to be so shameless about it and tell you to your face, that kind of took my breath away. Has anyone else had a Thai girl be this completely shameless?

Sounds more like a bruised ego to me.

She's Thai, get used to it.

According to the CCTV, it looks like the person driving the motorbike is not looking at all. At the same time the driver of the SUV is clearly speeding.

Nor is he looking, He completely missed the give way line in front of him.

But then again, which Thai driver ever pays attention to the road ahead or to the side?

This is your man. Dr Thanainit, Chairman of the Thai Hip and Knee Replacement Association (and quite a few other medical associations, eg hand, shoulder etc) and former Professor of Orthopaedics at Phramontkutklao Hospital (the 'Army Hospital' near Victory Monument). After retirement he now works at Phyathai 2 Hospital and is the bees knees (joke) as far as I am concerned.

I was able to get into the Army Hospital many years ago due to being a former UK SF soldier and also having medical connections working there, so don't try going there because it's highly unlikely you'll be accepted.

However, Phyathai 2 is excellent and Dr Thanianit is a really nice doctor on a personal level, with excellent English and highly qualified, having trained in Italy, Japan, the US, Switzerland and Thailand. All his info is in the link here - https://tinyurl.com/3y6wk8hc
Prices for single and double TKR are in this link - https://tinyurl.com/4dturft3

Costs for a single TKR are 300,000 baht or there's a premium price of 360,000, also in the link. A double TKR is 580,000 baht with a premium price of 700,000, also in the link.
The Army hospital prices are half those above, which is why I am waiting for my turn with gritted teeth. No premium prices in a Government hospital but I don't care about luxury, just having a normal life again.

I can't speak too highly of Dr Thanainit who really helped me a lot before he left the Army hospital. I am on their waiting list with 2 years to go, because I can't afford the above private prices and I do wish they'd hurry up!

he's not my president thus for me Mr. Trump or the President of the USA, AKA the Russian asset trying to be dictator

I agree. 

He isn't my president either, and he barely deserves to be called mister.

I have done a half day  PADI scuba diving intro class. Does it qualify me to join the fight ?

It probably allows you to paddle no deeper than your knees.

I have been using Wise for a few years now.

i feed my Wise account with both Euros and Sterling from 2 sources.

 

I regularly send money to SCB and to Bangkok Bank.

 

SCB always arrives in seconds.  Bangkok Bank usually the next day around 2.00 pm.

 

Friend of mine uses Wise to Kasikorn; also arrives in seconds.
 

In my opinion delays are more to do with the receiving bank (technology of the bank concerned), as BKK bank is definitely not as technologically up-to-date as the other major Thai banks are. 

I use Wise to transfer from my UK bank (Santander) to Kasikorn and transactions are always between 3 and 10 seconds.

Bangkok Bank has a bad reputation for holding on to funds until the next day, as I suspect as someone else said, to maximise profits.

Btw
Its easy just get it no prescription and inject yourself.

Yes, I do that as I have a pituitary adenoma (cyst) and need regular injections of testosterone.  

I buy a 3-ampoule pack of testosterone enanthate for 550 baht from a pharmacy next to the petrol station at Nana crossroads which my local clinic charges me 80 baht to inject every 18 days.  It's usually 21 days for most people but the doc and I titrated the does as an experiment and we found that 18 days was best to achieve an optimum level, mainly because I'm approaching 76 now.

I don't inject myself because the nice lady doctor at my local clinic only charges 80 baht (including syringe) and is so skilled I never feel any discomfort.  

Although you can buy the 3-pack from Nana, your problem is that you'd need to find a doctor who will be prepared to inject you and you'd need to convince them with a history that it would be safe.

NOTE - the 3-pack at 550 baht is from India but there is a single ampoule pack costing 200 baht (which some consider 'better') which is sourced from Austria.  

I have found no difference except that buying three single amp packs here in Nonthaburi saves me a fairly long traipse down to Nana, although costing me the 20-something baht extra per amp but not having to pay the MRT fare and a walk up from Sukhumvit station to just past Nana crossroads as I have stage 3 to 4 arthritic knees.

Never give a filipina an excuse to get jealous.  They can become very unhinged and a pain to live with. 

 

I couldn't even thank a checkout operator without many questions being asked later. 

 

Either you put up with it or get out as fast as you can.  8 months and I ran as fast as I could.  

 

No regrets

I'm English, but had the same response when I got involved with an Englishwoman. 

Got out as fast as I could, especially when I realised she had a family history of mental illness (Only discovered too late) 

Her mother died locked up in a mental hospital (Springfield) in London where she'd been for almost 30 years.  That did it, I sprouted wings.

Putin's mafia clan lied to everyone. Lies his own population with ever new lies. At first it was just a special mission against the Ukrainian Nazis. It's just a pity that the right-wing got less than 2% of the votes in the last election and aren't even represented in the parliament of Ukraine. Then he lied to his own soldiers that the whole thing was just an exercise. In truth, it is a war of conquest of the entire Ukraine. Anyone in Russia who publicly opposes the war against the so-called brother people is going to prison for 15 years. Then the perpetrator Putin becomes the victim. NATO is to blame. Although many of the Eastern European states have been NATO members since 1999 and 2004. Against this background, Putin's pseudo-argument that NATO would then stand on the Russian border in the event of Ukrainian membership is completely absurd. Then the war is now being justified with the existence of biological laboratories, except that no Antrax is being produced there, but medical research is being carried out on vaccines, etc., just like in any other country. Putin is afraid of his own people. When a bit of democracy flares up and the population asks how such a small KGB officer could become the richest man in the world and why all his 300 mafia friends are billionaires. Putin has shut down and blocked all critical media in his own country. But sooner or later,  the truth will come out and then his own people will eliminate him. With this war Putin and his mafia clan bring only misery to the people of Ukraine, Russia and to the people across Europe.

There's a name for it - 'small man syndrome'.  Think back a few hundred years.  Does the name Napoleon Bonaparte spring to mind?

I've often wondered what a pureblood Thai is, has anyone ever done any DNA research, probably too hard to negate  the chinese, khmer, lao, Indian etc

 

Thailand is a mongrel country, with people from numerous neighbouring or not so neigbouring countries,  just like Britain (especially me!).

Britain and Russia.

 

19th century.

Britain and Russia start off as friends....because Napoleonic France  threatens all the monarchies of Europe and that of Russia.

 

Then Britain and Russia stop being friends..............because Britain feels that Russian expansion South and East threatens Britains empire.

 

Britain becomes friends with the Ottoman Empire (anti Russian) and, together with France (friendly now) and Sardinia, defeats Russia in the Crimean War.

 

Later on the Ottoman Empire starts to get friendly with the rising German Empire, so Britain makes up with Russia to counteract Germany who, it feels, is challenging it's pre-eminence.

 

20th century

A big war takes place during which Britain plays a large part in defeating the Ottoman empire, Russia fights Germany for a while but then goes "commie", and signs a treaty with Germany, and Britain, together with various other countries, invades Russia in 1918.

 

For the next 20 years Britain and Russia are no longer friends, especially when Russia helps Germany to re-arm and signs another treaty with Germany.

 

Germany and Russia invade Poland in 1939.....half each.......that was the purpose of the treaty, to grab Poland without upsetting each other.

 

Britain is now, technically, at war with Russia, due to a treaty that Britain has with Poland..........but seems to ignore it.

 

In 1941, to Stalins utter astonishment, Germany invades Russia and forces it into a war for Russias survival.

 

Britain and Russia become friends "for the duration".

 

Russia survives and grabs half of Europe.......thus half of Europe finds itself under a dictatorship not far removed from the one it thought it was being saved from.

 

Mid 20th to early 21st century

Britain and Russia cease to be friends......then they think they are again.......then they're not.

 

Sometimes Russia are the good guys......sometimes they're not.

 

Right now they're not.

 

 

Excellent synopsis.  Oh, how positions shift when they become expedient ...

I agree with everything you say and yes I feel for those Russians who are holed up around the world unable to get funds or use there credit/debit cards due to the actions of a madman. The Russian citizens are the only people who can remove this evil by going onto the streets in there millions even if Putin is defeated in this invasion / war as long as he is in power as President the sanctions will remain and the only people who will suffer are the citizens of Russia . Putin will still have a warm place to sleep , and plenty of food this guy has stolen billions from his own people it’s time for them to have an uprising and get rid of him 

And the oloigarchs (many in the UK) who helped him get there, knowing their nests would be well feathered as a reward.

Just going by the saying, it’s all in the eyes, from what I’ve seen of Putin lately, I think he might be heading for Siberia in a straight jacket before long. 

More like in a coffin, if the speculation about his health is correct.
