For me, the other way around. Sometimes I drink a beer or two. But when I know there will be a couple of hours of drinking, then whiskey (soda) only.

I am sure there are good reasons why investigative journalism seems to almost not exist in Thailand. Journalists want to stay healthy. And what's the point of reporting crimes when the authorities are often directly involved in this. TiT

And are you qualified for this? There seem to be many people who know everything better than the doctor. Obviously, doctors can be wrong. But, they studied this for years...

Foreigner Caught on Video Urinating on Busy Phuket Street - video
OneMoreFarang replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Who films that? It never happened to me, but if I would be in my car in traffic, and I would absolutely have to pee, and if I wouldn't have a bottle or something like that, then I would probably also pee outside. What's the alternative? Pee into the car? -
Is it any kind of alcohol or only beer? It seems for many people it makes a big difference in which form they drink alcohol. The alcohol itself is maybe not the issue.

Someone in my condo locking my motorbike with a pad lock
OneMoreFarang replied to villageidiotY2K's topic in General Topics
It's always sad when people start a thread, then there are numerous replies, but the original poster is never seen again. -
It does not stop. But it goes down and down and down. Years ago, it was impossible to think I could go out at night and not even f&$@ one girl. Like: I need that. By now: Ok, she is not bad (the kind I would have taken out after max 10min when I was younger), but now, no, she is not really so exiting. Maybe another one, or maybe no one at all tonight. I am tired anyhow. 😉

Health Insurance Refused Because I Take Statins.
OneMoreFarang replied to Jumbo1968's topic in Health and Medicine
They said? Did anybody from the health insurance, not the agent, talk to you? Normally they only write. So did you have that in writing? The agent, the person who sells the health insurance, might have said this to you. But that doesn't mean anybody official told him so and it doesn't mean he has that in writing. I was recently refused for any health coverage. I am sure my medical condition, including diabetes, didn't help. But they just told me they won't cover me, and not why. And diabetes was not the only medical condition on my list, so it could have been various reasons. -

In general insurance refuse you or accept you under certain circumstances. As far as I know they never tell you why. Obviously, you can speculate why, but that's it. A speculation. -
I learned how my childhood influenced my actions long after I was a child. And in many ways that wasn't obvious. And I learned that our childhood influences what we do (a lot) and it's up to us if we just see this as a reason that we are how we are. Or we decide to change our life and don't use our childhood as an excuse for how we are. We can change - if we want to do that. Another important lesson I learned was about other people. In group therapy there are maybe 5 to 10 people together for maybe 2 hours, once a week. And everybody hears the stories of other people, and the questions from the psychotherapist. So, after a while, we understand the people around us much better. It's long ago and I don't remember many details. But I remember that when I started, I thought about some of the others in a way like: I don't like this person, or that person in strange, etc. After hearing their stories for many months, I understood more where they come from and why they are the way they are. And that helped me to be careful with judging other people (now). For most of us there are good reasons why we are how we are. That doesn't mean I like everybody who is different or strange. But maybe I accept that he is the way he is for good reason. Another question I remember that "patients" often ask: Is that normal behavior. Like, do I behave like a normal person? And the answer from the psychotherapist was normally something like: It's normal for YOU. Like, with your past and your life until now, your reaction is normal. For someone who lived another live, it might not be normal. But don't try to be normal only because other people have different expectations.

Most people who need counseling don't realize that they could benefit from counseling. I attended psychological group therapy for a couple of years in my 20th. Did I really need it? I don't know, probably not. Did I learn from it? Yes, a lot.

I am who I am. I don't try to play a role or be someone else. Some people like me, others not. Fine. Being the same all the time and not trying to play a role makes life so much easier.

Thailand is the wrong place to try this. If you can't ride a bike already, learn somewhere far away from Thailand's streets and vehicles.

Should we blame China and their companies to be able to offer many things cheaper than the rest of the world? If none-Chinese manufacturers can offer better quality, then I am sure they will keep customers who want high quality. If, however, China can compete in price and quality, why should people spend more money? It's business. If companies and factories are competitive, then they will stay in the business. If not, then not.

Do Thai women make the best wives?
OneMoreFarang replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Many women from all over the world might be the best wives. But it depends a lot on the guy they marry or refuse to marry. There are some idiots out there who mess around with sleeping hookers, and then they are surprised when women reject them... -

He shouldn't do that. But I am sure he enjoyed that ride. Sometimes I wish I had a truck just like that. 😉 -
Someone in my condo locking my motorbike with a pad lock
OneMoreFarang replied to villageidiotY2K's topic in General Topics
Does this only happen to your bike? Did it happen to anybody else in your condominium? I think first you should find out why it happened. Maybe it was the condominium management who blocked your bike for whatever reason. -

The Perfect Bangkok Afternoon?
OneMoreFarang replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
About in this order: Lunch at The Oriental Hotel? A Thai oil massage followed by a happy ending? A visit to Kinokunia Book store followed by a good cup of coffee? A couple of Guinness at the pub followed by a short-time? Is it a workout at the gym followed by a protein drink from 7-11? A trip to a crowded shopping mall and a wander around aimlessly buying stuff you don't need? A hot-pot lunch followed by an afternoon film in the theater? A boat ride on the river from Taksin Bridge up to the Grand Palace? A wander around the bustling fresh markets in China Town? Surfing the net and reading annoying posts on AN like this one? A run around Lumpini Park followed by some good street food along the backside of the park? A trip to the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC)? Stocking up on supplies at Lotus, Big-C or Makro? Buying a bunch of fruit at Or Tor Kor Market? A fat spliff, followed by 3 chocolate bars, then contemplating your navel for hours and never leaving your bed?
