[quote] ...Ricky was unable to confirm his insurance status due to the extent of his injuries. [/quote] Why is his insurance details not kept with his passport? I carry my passport and private medical insurance details everywhere that I go, and have dog-tags around my neck with these and NoK details in English, Thai, Lao and Burmese!

I have to say this is one of the dumbest comments that I have ever read on AN...

Excellent news for the health of girls and women . Now will those men who self-identify as a woman be clamouring for this vaccination? 🙂

Bob, why do you keep changing your avatar? Nothing in the rules to say that you can't change it, but you seem to be somewhat obsessed...

I would have thought that rough seas would put a fire out! Anyway, as others have said,the sea was as flat as a millpond!

Some people pay extra for that... 🙂

Not 'fake' but generated using AI. Having been involved in AI development some 25 years ago, I believe that use of AI should always be disclosed. Should we allow students to submit homework created by Chat GPT?

Thais have a phrase for that: "You tink too mut" and I would agree with them, judging from most of your posts. Medicine won't help IMHO. You need to change your attitude....

Pattaya is in Chonburi province. I think they are simply trying to avoid using the word 'Pattaya'. Update: Others beat me to it!

I assume that the YT algorithm notes that I open many of these videos to check if the thumbnail/front image is AI without notification of that. Then the algorithm assumes that I love watching these videos and posts similar videos! Aah!! I can't win. I'm still not sure why YT posts many videos of gimp suits, but that's another matter 🙂 As to bare-chested men, I would complain about such lack of manners in whatever country I would be living in. Bare chests belong on the beach, not in a restaurant or shopping mall. It's quite amazing how many people (of all nationalities) seemed to have missed out on learning basic good manners.

Can you suggest some? For many years I have been a radio amateur, talking with other (mostly men) on the other side of the world about my huge erection (I mean my antenna erection of course). But mid-conversation I often fall asleep from sheer boredom when they get excited about the size of their erections...

It is! I can't win at this. But it gives me something to do between my other hobby of telling men to cover their bare-chests when walking in the street or mall and not actually at the beach. As for men wearing shorts in similar locations, don't get me started 🙂

These are the 'shorts' that appear on my YT page. Videos that depict a polar bear covered in honey bees and being rescued by a fisherman, or an old man on TV changing into a muscle man before our very eyes. It's obviously created by AI, but there is no statement at the start of the video clip that this is AI, and many might assume that this really is a real polar bear covered in bees. ... and that I find unacceptable. These clips have millions of views, and are obviously making money for their creators. But IMHO it's fraud, making money by misleading the gullible. I report any videos as they appearI. I have nothing against AI, but IMHO the use of AI should be disclosed to the viewer at the start of the video. YT does take down about 10% of the videos that I report, but clearly they are making attracting millions of viewers and I guess YT considers me as "Mr Complainer of Clapham"...

That's an international flight, so not relevant to the complaint in this article about foreign pilots flying domestic flights.

Years ago, a bar-girl that I knew asked me for 50,000 baht for an urgent operation for her mum, who had been involved in a bad car accident and gone through the windscreen. I politely declined and she sadly said OK. 2 days later, I learnt from another foreign friend that he had visited her mom in hospital, but that she died due to lack of funds to pay for the required operation 😞 The 30 baht scheme is not universal. You need to be registered as a Thai person into that scheme. Her mum was hill-tribe, and therefore not covered under the scheme.

Rich people striving to be richer usually are more stressed than poorer folk. High blood pressure, anger issues, diabetes from eating rich food etc... good luck to them. I'm relatively poor. Without the trappings of fast cars, fast women, consumer goods etc, I'm very happy with my life. Why do I need more than 2 pairs of shoes (one pair for running and one pair for everything else)? I only have 2 feet. Why do I need many shirts and trousers? I only have one body to clothe. Why do I need gold rings, bracelets and so on? I don't need to impress anyone and surely to my God no woman would love me without the $$$ (all 3 of my ex-wives were only in it for the $$$ from me). I'm not a Buddhist, but following a modest lifestyle without consumer goods has helped me to be stress-free and relatively healthy. (It also saves on checked-in luggage costs!)

1 - the human dosage mentioned in the medical research is1 gram of seeds per day. According to their research, this was the most effective dosage against ESBL E.coli. (Bear in mind that my research was into natural treatment of ESBL E.Coli, not into treatment for BPH) Please search again on Lazada. I will not post the Lazada link because I don't want to be accused of promoting something that medical professionals might claim is 'snake oil'. 2 - Yes, I take 1 gram daily. I have not experienced any negative side effects. I don't know if my ESBL E.Coli infection is still present because I would need another urine culture test. But my BPH symptoms are much-reduced, no need to take prescribed medication, no desperate urge to pee, no need to pee at night, fairly strong pee stream. All good stuff 🙂

I have an enlarged prostate. but I'm not aware that I need to masturbate in public to relieve these symptoms!

I thought that he was indicating the size of his willy and that it was too small to get his hand around it for a lamb shank...

It was my UK registered address, also registered with my UK GP and electoral register... I was not to know that the hotel manager was a thieving git. Prior to posting the second card to me Wise assured me that they would send it inactivated. Which they did not!

@jori123, are you actually writing in English? I find it rather difficult to understand your posts!

Yes, I use the HMRC gateway. I have 29 years, mostly paid at the el-cheapo Class 3(? - self-employed) rate voluntary top-ups. I will receive about 37,000 baht a month.

Well, Myanmar bank ATM cards usually work in bigger cities. With overseas cards, it's hit and miss, mostly due to no internet data connection from Myanmar to the international banking network to check if you have enough funds for your ATM withdrawal. [quote] I cannot believe there could be a 4 month delay! [/quote] She was reading a standard legal statement to me. I assume to cover themselves if the payment is delayed.

Also, when I was in the UK about 2 years ago, I applied for a Wise debit card. They sent it 'UNLOCKED' to my hotel address where the dozy hotel manager stole it and ran up 100 quid in Grab take-out food (apparently, Wise does no security checks for Grab food!!). I complained to Wise and they cancelled the card and fully refunded me. Then they sent a new debit card which was also UNLOCKED!! The hotel manager stole the card again and I had to repeat the refund process. After that, I gave up getting the card! My Wise bank account works fine, but I have no idea why they send out unlocked physical cards. Reminder to self: Stay at a different hotel next time! 🙂

What cobblers are you talking about? I'm fully aware that the UK state pension is frozen if I remain in Thailand, Laos etc. Right now, with my online teaching, my income will be about $2,500 per month, which is perfectly adequate (more than adequate) for a single person. When I finally end my online teaching, I can simply move to The Philippines, where my state pension is not frozen.
