  1. Ruam peyt Surin. I should add to that, two days before the OP the surgeon rang me up and asked me what gauze I wanted to have inserted, there were three types, the most expensive was gold which was supposed to give me the least trouble later in life, it cost 10,000 Baht, I chose this and transferred the money to the hospital before the OP. It was quite an experience. The hernia was very low down to one side of the genitalia, the surgeon told me that he had only operated on this type once before and he wanted to do the OP at night when it would be quieter and there would be less interruption. The OP room surprised me (it is an old building) it appeared sterile, clean, white tiled and bright lights but against one wall were wooden cupboards full of hospital gowns. 4 people greeted me, very friendly and introduced themselves and told me what they would be doing. The anesthetist was a woman who said she would give me injections in my back and I wouldn't be able to lift my legs or feel anything, so with that done I lay on the table and told her when I couldn't lift my legs. We all waited for the surgeon (a 40 year old man) who entered the room barefoot and whistling, he sat down at a table in the corner and seemed to be writing medical reports in the 5 or 6 files he brought in with him. After 10 minuets he got up, "Right, let's get on with it shall we, feeling OK"? A green screen was put up between me and the part of the body to be operated on and he started. it took about 30 minutes and I was wheeled back upstairs, this was about 5 years ago and to this day I can't see a scar, I've had no trouble since.
  2. I had an operation for a hernia at a private hospital, 1 night stay, 28K Baht, I thought that was reasonable.
  3. Actually I'm one of natures devote cowards but if I heard sounds of someone being attacked and I was armed and it was my duty even I would intervene before waiting for backup, the 10 minutes of waiting could make the difference between life and death, obviously backup would be needed afterwards.
  4. Layoffs will be happening world wide in 2024, all part of the hard landing, the recession that the FED said wouldn't happen.
  5. What about the bio metrics on the Italiens passport? I thought this sort of thing was impossible these days
  6. I suspect director-general Sahakarn will be getting a Rolls Royce for Christmas.
  7. El Nina was supposed to bring drought, hot weather.
  8. Isn't that his Job? why the back up, unless a vehicle was needed to transport him, the man was drunk and the cop is armed
  9. "receiving only a fraction of the payment" would appear to be their biggest complaint.
  10. All conflicts have different qualities of gains and losses, ever since Lawrence of Arabia it was clear that the middle East is a riddle trapped in an enigma. Palestine was only trouble for the British with no promise of gain. Kenya had the Mau Mau uprising which didn't have popular support and was brutally put down by British troops who also resorted to torture and murder, there was gain to be had there, conflicts have their own logic. The Arabs are only united in their religion which has caused them to remain static in their development, once a beacon of advanced knowledge in mathematics, science and medicine, they have made backward steps united only in there hatred of the west on whose progress they now rely on. The state of Israel with its European educated populace is an island of progress in between backward looking states who, instead of seeking to benefit from the progress of their neighbour seek to eradicate it, the ferocity of the conflict should be understood from this angle.
  11. He also predicts (in secret) that he will have a healthy bank balance in 2024.
  12. Wars result in the deaths of the innocent, a thousand years of conflict has shown this but human stupidity stops us from learning from our mistakes. When one considers that even our close cousins, the Chimpanzees, engage in war it would seem that such aggressive behaviour is built into our genes. Reprehensible as this is, there is no excuse for posting false accusations, America, like any major power, has a history of meddling in other countries affairs to the detriment of those countries citizens but there is always a selfish logic behind it, the Ukraine / Russian conflict has the hallmarks of such geopolitical logic but not the Hamas/Israel conflict, this is a war that nobody wants, the roots of which are complicated and deep. During WWII the controlling power of Palestine, Great Britain, promised Palestine to both the Palestinians and the Jews (Israel wasn't a country at that time) in order to gain their help against Germany, after the war Britain tried to halt the influx of the Jewish people from all over the world, it didn't succeed and today we have what we have.
  13. Not unlike the whole world if all the economic experts are to be believed, only the FED believes in a soft landing. The market is betting on a rate cut in the first quarter because the money tightening has been overdone, it will be too little too late, the economic damage has been done. Large rate cuts will lead to a false bull run in stocks, a last hurra before the collapse and then there will be a rate cut race to zero causing another spike (a bigger one) in inflation.
  14. Another war on top of Ukraine/Russian war must be the last thing the USA wants, any conflict with Iran is going to be a disaster for world trade on top of the world economic crisis we are heading into in 2024. Your little hate post defies all logic. The powder keg that is the middle East doesn't need any extra help from outside to explode as Iran and Russia in Syria are already joyfully meddling in affairs of destabilization.
  15. because maybe he fears his pension provider could possibly learn of the divorce from the embassy resulting in a pension reduction.
  16. He's done a runner your honour, nothing we could do to stop him as unfortunately no computer notification was sent to the immigration computers at the airport, it's a mystery.
  17. Of course they are available, I'm buying a pair, however I don't think the lenses are made in Thailand. Diamond eyes aren't a thing in my area so its a choice between two Top Charoen sites.
  18. Surely they've missed out on a free STD check up week, meet your favorite bar girl at the clinic, consolation prizes for a HIV infection.
  19. I presume his incarceration has stopped him from gathering enough money necessary to prove his innocence.
  20. Pragmatic, very sensible, why get involved with the skulduggery of either side.
  21. Those are low numbers compared to the West.
  22. Same for Germans I believe, but with the bribes has the evidence also been destroyed....lost.
