Confuscious

Sorry, but i am also trying to lose some weight desperately. 95kg at this moment, but should get 85kg. But fasting will not shred any weight unless i do that for 1 week or so. My intention was to clean my body and reduce my blood sugar and apparently it did that for me. My daughter (35 years) went from 135kg to 55kg. But that was with inplanting a quench into the throat at the stomach entry.

Blood Sugar = 112 The best result I had in ages. Simply perfect

I never said that I achieved the state of Ketosis. But the overall benefits of 72-hr fasting were very satisfying for me. I will discuss these results with my Physician on my next visit (14 April) and wait for his advice. I am a Diabete -2 patient and I need to take care with such experiments. Next time, I will try it again, but cutting also the pwer drinks. FYI, the sugar drinks I took and the coffee contains NO SUGAR.

Reading advices about Health Care, I came across the “72-hours Fasting”. The deal was to “No food” for 72 hours. Only drink plenty of fluids (water) and take eventually some power drinks. Also, according to some websites, drinking coffee or tea was also allowed. I wanted to try this, and started on Monday 26 March at 00:00 hrs. Here the course of my 72-hours fasting: Day 1 (BS=131) 13:30 Drinking a lot of water. Not hungry yet. 15:30 Drinking a coffee (Americano without sugar or sweetener) Everything is OK. 23:00 Bedtime. Everything is OK. No hunger; No dizzyness Feeling good. Day 2 (BS=136) 08:30 Wake up, take medicine. Feeling normal. 13:00 Little bit hungry, not too much Go drink a green tea. Too hot inside the house. Go to Central Plaza drink a coffee. 22:00 Bedtime Didn't feel hungry, although I was in the middle of restaurants and people eating. Feel better as other days. Drank a lot today. Day 3 (BS=120) 09:00 Feeling good this morning. No problems about food. 13:00 Make ready and go to Central Plaza drink a coffee Still doing fine. 16:00 Something strange happened. A few minutes ago, I was having something like a "Hypo". "Hypo"= Blood Sugar level too low. Start to sweat heavily; Losing concentration; Watery and troubled vision; Etc. But the feeling lasted only a few minutes. After that, everything was back to normal. Strange, I feel much better as before and my sight had improved. At night on day 3, before going to bed, I was taking a shower and noticed that my protruding “belly button” had disappeared and was back to normal (see picture). Blood Sugar level this morning: 113 The ideal BS level from anyone of my age and my condition (69 years old). Resuming: 1. I would surely advice to try this to everyone who is fit enough to try it. 2. No significant weight loss, but feeling better. 3. Although that I live alone and had nobody to look after me, I would not advice anybody to try this without the presence of someone who can intervene in case of something would go wrong (see Day 3). Lucky for me, I was at that moment at the coffee shop and had enough people to help me if something would go wrong. 4. From now on, I will try to do this every 2 or 3 months. Good luck to everybody who want to try it.

I guess that the Embassy letter is the "Affidavit for marriage" in which you declare to have a certain "minimum income" to be able to marry in Thailand. This "Affidavit" has no relation to the "Proof of income" from Immigration, which requires a declaration from an OFFICIAL INSTANCE IN THAILAND of a minimum income of 40,00 Baht or the sum of 400,000 baht in a Thai bank account. The "Affidavit" is based on YOUR declarations, while the "Letter of Income" is a signed letter from a Bank director in Thailand.

In 1986, I went to Ibiza (Spain) for a holiday. The place was full of british hooligans whose only passtime consisted in starting to drink in a pub as soon as it opened. The sit on a barstool and drank beer until they fell down from their barstool. The first who fell down, had to pay the drinks for the others that session. Admitted, besides being loud and arrogant, they did not smashed furniture or other peoples belongings. But still, it was a pittyful sight of the tourists. I meet an older British couple there, and they were "disgusted" with the behavior of their fellow "young" citizens. According to them, the UK was sponsoring their trip abroad to avoid this behavior being displayed in the UK and needing to pay for the costs of repair of things.

Yes, for example Belgium. https://ibz.be/en/registration-and-reporting-obligation-general#:~:text=If you wish to stay,months of arriving in Belgium.

........ and the rest is history.

My girlfriend showed me on Saturday a mail from a friend of her who is selling her house. The price was not expensive. It's a free standing townhouse (1 bedroom & 1 bathroom) near a river. My girlfriend asked me if I would buy this house for usm and I said "Yes", but under the condition that I could out a 30-year lease on it. Whch she agreed. Are there any other things I need to consider before buying this house? TIA

Richard, I understand your failure to read and comprehend English and I can not help you with that. I said many times that I DON'T CONDONE BEATING WOMAN or CHILDREN. Firstl, you are in Thailand and your ramble about muscles doesn't fit in this country. If you want to have your culture, go to your OWN COUNTRY. You are not in your place here. Second, the way this boy (or his parents) handled this case has ruined his life. The teacher will continue being a teacher. In the same school or in another school. But the boy will never be accepted in any school anymore and even his future will be a big question. This is the same everywhere in the world. You don't start to publish or sue somebody who is higher than you and who can decide of your future life. There are other ways to settle such things. And that doesn't include the big talk of Westerners about their "muscles". More than enough examples on that. Like the other US guy who was making a big story about a fruit factory. I stop my presence in this thread here and leave it to to big westerners with their big muscles and their automatic rifles.

I want to see which school will take this student after his rant on education .... Maybe there will be a lot of thaivisa members that will sponsor his schooling abroad?

To make it clear, I DONT CONDONE BEATING ANYONE. Children or mature persons. I am raised as a good Catholic with the mind that we are not entitled to decide what is good or wrong. By the way, I make a difference between "slapping" somebody and "BEATING" somebody. A slap with the hand doesn't have to be violent to make your point. It's sort of what the Koran says about punishing a woman. "You are allowed to punish a woman, but only by using the bare hands and not leaving any marks." I lost count of the times I slapped somebody in a friendly way and get slapped my self with a smile. They are kids and kids like to play. Sometimes without knowing what is acceptable and what is not. When they are going "too far", they should be made aware of that before it turns into anarchy. There is also a BIG difference in punishing a child in Kindergarten age and punishing a child in Secunday school. The children in Secondary school are not "Children" anymore in my books and many Western countries threath them as adults when it comes to a punishment.. They need guidance from the adults? I can tell from that that you are a foreigner and don't know that you are in THAILAND, a third world country. The adults have never had any education besides being obedient to their religion and their superiors. Why don't you go back to your country where everything is soo nice? OK, from time to time there is a big shooting with AK47 and automatic rifles leaving dozens of kids and teachers dead, but that is due to "their adults" who are responsible. Sure, the vast majority of the "children" with age for secunday school are good citizens, driving in a motorbike with a helmet and having a drivers license and insurance. That's why there are every year 26,000+ deaths on the roads and over 1 million othere maimed severely. I see daily 8 year old "children" driving a motorbike with 3 or more passengers without helmets or insurance. But that's all due to their "adults" who leave it to the authorities (AKA Police) to punish them to make 20 push-ups. Now, I grew up in the '50's. We, like many others, had a little hut in the yard with a heart carved on the door where everybody went to do their services. In spring time, everybody got a bucket to dig up the <deleted> and spread into the garden. That was "normal" at these times. By the way, the first REAL toilet as we are used now, came into our houses in the '70's, but there was no real connection to any drain until the mid '70's. We use to call them "English toilets". To finish my "rant", I grew as a Music Teacher. I had always dreamed to be a teacher and finally made it. One day, a fellow teacher, was taken away by the Police on the accusation of having sex with a girl on the school. The life of the poor guy was completely shattered. His wife and children believed the accusations and started a divorce with the interdiction to visit his own children. To keep a long story short, he comitted suicide a few months later. AFTER his suicide, the girl (14 years) admitted that she made the story up because of a bad examen result. Nice "children"?

You seem to forget WHERE you are. This is THAILAND, a third world country with third world people and education. Most of these "parents" are brought up under the same system. Be obedient, don't question anything, have respect for your family no matter what, have respect for the religion and the religious, etc. Most of the "parents" have grown up in the rice fields in a temple school where they have been teached primarely the religion. I live already more than 2 decades here and have seen enough of this. Even in International schools, the Thai students were crammed with 60+ in a class room, not being allowed to ask anything, and if they were required to go to the teacher, they were required to walk on their knees with their head bowed down and not look up. Nothing has changed in 2 decades. Keeping the masses dumb is the first rule of every country to thrive. Of course, you are always free to send your children to a school in the USA where they are shot with an AK47 or any other automatic rifle from time to time ...

I read here the "many" replies to this topic of foreigners with words as "Capital punishment", "Give the teacher 30 cannings to his grown", etc. But has any of them think twice about their reply? Agree, the punishment by the teacher was "over the top", but what do you prefer? A punishment by a teacher to show the little prat that he did go a little bit too far or and up a few years later in jail because nobody teached the little prat how to behave? I see many children, boys and girls, without respect for the law, the environment, their own parents, etc. and ended up being smashed in a traffic accident or end up in jail. All this because punishment by teachers are forbidden and being punished by their own parents can end up bringing you in shallow waters. The children of today are cultivated without respect for anything and they think they can go away with that (till the day that they and up in court). How many children of today would do house work like we did? Emptying the cesspool with buckets into the garden? I can understand the Thai mentality to accept to punish their chidren in school when they behave like spoiled brats. After all, Thai children are raised up to take care of their elders when they are not capable to take care for themselves anymore. Name it a "Social Security System".

Not condoning what this teacher did ... But I remember when I in school in the early '60's (A Catholic school run by Catholic monks and nuns), the teacher "Religion" beat me on my hands with a metal rules so hard that I could barely hold a pen for a few days. Coming home and telling to my father what the monk did, my father took a ruler and hit me again on my hands. "If the monk has hit you, he surely had reason for it and you should not complain."

There was no change of address!! I live already 21 years in the same place. IO did not to process my visa extension without an update to the "Notification of address" in my passport. And like me, several thousand others. By the way, when I asked for a reeintry permit a few months ago, I asked what to do when I came back. The answer was very clear: "Just start to count for 90 days at the date you enter the country and report then for 90 days stay". So, now it is a NEW REQUIREMENT and I need to go for new Notification of address" every time I leave Korat.

They know their laws. Their law says that for every new report, several photocopies are required from the boot next door which means extra $$$$ for them. Not to forget the new department and the material which means also extra $$$$. The law of money

Every year, as i apply for my visa extension, my believe in God sinks deeper and deeper.....

Or maybe tell that to "Big joke"?

Go tell the f****ing IO that Wish you succes with that.

Same in korat It seem that korat immigration put up a new state of the art office to handle this new requirement. At my visit to immigration, somebody's id-card fall into the only printer and jammed it. 4 ladies working on the printer to get rid of the paper jam

A few days ago I went to Immigration in Korat for my Visa extension. I had everything ready according to the latest requirements, but as always, i was expecting that something new would be required. As the ladies from the immigration were going trough my application, they noticed that I had left the country and did not report it. I said that it was made clear to me by immigration at the demand of a re-entry permit that the TM6 was not anymore required and that I needed to do a 90-days report from the date of arrival. WRONG!!!!!! The lady told me that I was required to report my entry in the country and ask for a new "Notification of stay" every time I left Korat. So, be prepared for this requirement.

You reep what you saw .... Som nam naa
