Who didn't?

"How much to see a doctor in your home country?" Nothing. As for your post.

Excellent post. I have been here for 20 years and have had lots of farang friends although not any more, they have all died or moved away. Of all these farang friends, apart from the odd drunk or druggie, have all been decent people.

What sort of life has anyone got who keeps their mouth shut?

"When Thailand was a dictatorship". Was???? It still is. What other country forces it's expats to do 90 day reporting? We are not criminals on parole, so why are we treated as if we were??

A lot of what you say here is true, but "affordable health care" may be the case in some public hospitals, but I was told by someone who went to the public hospital in Soi Buakow in Pattaya, that he would have to pay 500 Bt just to see the doctor alone before any charges for medical attention.

Cannot get 3bb phone app.

Capitalism has ruined it even worse, especially in the UK, with all these rich "Sirs" and "Lords".

That's interesting. Thanks.

Temu suddenly arrived on my computer. I was very impressed by their products and prices so I ordered a couple of items, this was about 3 weeks ago. They still have not arrived. I keep getting emails almost daily. One had a heading "We regret to tell you", another "Credit back". But it was just a ploy to advertise more of their products. Are Temu worth dealing with?

I bought a used car about 3 years before I came to stay in Thailand. It just received a full years MOT. I noticed a smudge mark (not a crack) on the passenger side windscreen. I pointed it out and asked about the mark and was told it was not enough to fail the MOT. The following year the car passed the MOT with nothing being said about the mark, the following year the car failed the MOT because of the mark, I repeat again the UK MOT is a farce and is about money first and the safety of the car second.

MOT's in the UK is nothing more than a money making exercise. You can take a car out of the garage with a new MOT and something could happen further down the road that could have meant a failure. All that is needed is a compulsary annual major service done by a qualified garage. If anyone doubts what I am saying, suppose you could take any car more than 3 years old of the road at random and give it a full MOT. How many would pass it? I rest my case.

Not as stupid as yours.

It's the UK that lives away in the past. You still have the "Sirs", knights without the horses and lances from the 12th century. Then you have the lawyers and judges wearing wigs prancing about the UK courtrooms like transvestites. Don't forget the Lords from a few centuries in the past. So who is really living in the past?

True. 4th world now.

To save themselves a lot of work. They want you to go on the retirement extensions as that is much easier for them.

Oh! So your confused. I am referring to Stallone the "actor" who played Rambo.

If this Rambo guy fights the way he acts then he is not going to cause anyone any problems.

Rubbish.

Sorry. Typing.

I don't think the mods can do anything about it, it is just pure laziness on some posters who just cannot be bothered printing the full words.

OK but they are for smartphones, not for reading in a forum.

That's not what I'm asking, are they musicians, politicians or movie stars?

What's OTOH? Are you still on your smartphone or what?

Who's Bob Marley? And while I'm here. who is Che Guevara?
