we have a couple of friends who are pharmacist, they are not allowed to even stock certain drugs, even if you got the prescription the only place you can buy is the hospitals, 

I think they get visits from time to time checking on their stock,  

and in respect of private hospitals pay their ridiculous rip off prices, i'm done with being ripped off by private hospitals they can FO, i now only use government hospitals.

The parents along with their daughter can just FO AFAIC, how ridiculous.......

what an idiot 

Yes indeed, whats the difference between pot and alcohol/tobacco ? Many Thais are earning a living from pot and now the idiot is going to put a stop to these jobs.

Beggars belief imo.

I just pay mine through my Bangkok bank account, 159bht per month.

My experience a few years ago was as soon as i informed the DWP of my Thailand address the HMRC was advised by the DWP of my new Thailand address. It made no difference to my access to the UK Government Gateway which i previously had with my English address.

I had the spray foam done on a section my car port roof some 10 years ago because it was leaking by a Bangkok firm (they advertised in the BP) who traveled to my province. It never solved the problem.......

My first day post catheter removal !

I voided easily all day until 11:00 Pm till 2:am in the morning!

I had the mommies during that time!

I cried for my mother with pain due to extreme pressure in my abdomen and burning in my penis.I almost went to the emergency room!

I called the Dr  just now and he said my prostate gland is experiencing inflammation ! So he  gave me a script for Celebrex (celecoxib) its a medication that treats mild to moderate pain and inflammation. It treats conditions like arthritis. It’s a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug .

After 2am the peeing came every hour with very little discomfort !

Ive read inflammation could last up til 48 hours after catheter removal ! 

Fingers crossed I don’t experience that night again.

I felt sorry for my wife, she didn’t know what to do! 
 

Sorry to hear that, i had none of those issues but i firmly believe that my Turp was not carried out in accordance with normal procedures, thats why it was'nt a 100% success.

I sincerely hope your condition improves in the very near future.

Going to have my Catheter taken out 

tomorrow August 17th!

I’ve endured 9 days of having this device in me !

Good luck, its an easy painless process that takes a few seconds. I passed a bit of blood after removal for a couple of days. I only had mine in for 8 days and i was terrified at first but i have to say it was no real problem, it was quite manageable. 

Please keep us updated on how things go in the weeks ahead.

My Brit wife waited 30 years ......... that's why it's called the long game.

But what did she wait 30 years for ?

Yeah, good shout, it's not seedy there at all - lol.

But its not seedy there in Soi 6, very quiet ime, but if you want the seediness just walk out the Soi into Soi 4 and bobs your uncle but if you walk the other way out of soi 6 onto sukumvit, its everyday life with the Sky train to get you about.

Well thats my story and i'm sticking to it lol

Age is a big factor, people forget that, when older and the women are much younger why would they want a much older farang? well known bar girls play the short game and girlfriends and wives play the long game

I asked exactly the same question to my Thai wifey, she replied there is little stigma in Isaan Thailand regarding younger gals hooking up with older guys especially farangs who are well known to look after and respect them irrespective of their previous job.

With regards to GF's and wives ''playing the long game'' just how long is the long game ? we've been together for 17 years since marriage and life is wonderful, well for me it is lol and i have no reason to think that wifey feels any different.

By the way wifey was 24yo and i 55yo when we met.

The poor lady did'nt fall off a balcony but she slipped off a large step. RIP Kylee.

Smoked weed is a bit more cloudy than fresh air, old bean.

I'm far from a hater, in fact one of my favourite songs is Legalize It by Peter Tosh.

Spent months on a Koh Panga beach in 1992 smoking weed and was the main reason I stayed. 

That said, I know many who have relapsed from recovery from alcohol addiction by thinking cannabis was harmless. One friend died. 

I feel its important to remind people that just because it suddenly, miraculously became legal in Thailand, it can be dangerous for some. 

I agree that most smokers will have no serious consequences, apart from eating too many donuts, or antisocial behaviour. Paranoia can also be harmful. 

I doubt there are Marijuana Anonymous meetings in Thailand, just as the are no Sex Addicts Anonymous. That doesn't mean they're are no addicts! 

I don't smoke ganja as I find it better getting to the root of my problems, rather than use a substance as a crutch, like I did for 20 years since age 14.

I'm not telling anyone anything apart from there is help if wanted. If not wanted, just ignore. 

 

 

 

I would seriously question that.......

Switch off >mobile data< on the phone.

Otherwise 1 Baht per minute will drain except you have subscribed for an internet plan.

 

In July 2022 I topped up my AIS with 500 Baht for some reason and I am still struggling to use it before expiry. Who does phone calls ????

Yes indeed, i have the same problem with DTAC. Do you just lose your credit at expiry and then have to top up again ? I trust you don't lose your tel number as well.

If you use it for a sleeping aid and quit there is a bit of sleeplessness till you get it sorted out.

We are all different in how we respond to not smoking it anymore, i've never had a problem when i've packed it in over the years.

New house builds,  preparation is never carried out, then they use the cheapest  Emulsion paint they can  find,    then water that  down, if you  wipe the painted surface with a damp   sponge  you will probably find  the  sponge is the same color as the wall.. Spend some money on a good quality paint,  it will look good and it will last a lot  longer

I always use Dulux, its not cheap but quality 'anything' never is ime.
