The test is there for a reason i guess?

Not in Bangkok, but in a small village setting, even Pattaya is fine, smaller than a car so can sometimes fit in spaces cars can't. In 20 years maybe I'll get one for fun

Boxers always off, towel always off, back in the UK for legit massages they are nearly always covered i.e with towel, strict to the extreme

The big mistake you hear about every now again is they want to reduce or stop the sex industry, then you'll have another boring Hua Hin, so don't kill the golden goose

Yes we are all getting older, i have a soft spot for those Rod Salang side cars, safer than a trike and more versatile than a car

Don't forget caffeine has a 5 hour half life so avoid 10 hours before sleep otherwise sleep can be a little disturbed

i agree, too dangerous, too slow, don't fit in with the traffic, i can easily imagine a thai on a phone easy hitting one

Yes, at Jomtien they check for the paper receipt and they need a copy. Assuming your notification is valid but no receipt you can go and see how it plays out

The thing about the 3 wheelers is they look like disability vehicles

The ones i know are good guys, normal guys who want to live and not die in a war, same one Ukraine i met. It's Putin and co forcing them to fight for nothing

Why not something like this? cheap, common, fine in the sticks, plenty of storage

I prefer the look of the motorbikes with thai side car thing, the 3 wheelers look unstable, oh yes there was the guy who got run over a few weeks ago by railway road, maybe still in ICU

Next they'll be trying to change it, make it a family orientated city, instead try and make Hua Hin bearable

Sounds sensible but shouldn't you be self insuring anyway in case of claim denied?

I listen to LBC sometimes and pretty much every caller is voting for labour, all seem to be on one benefit or another, looking for more under labour. Talk Radio on the other hand more Conservative and Reform, workers who pay tax, or retired people who've paid tax

ah ok, what's your state pension forecast? if i added the 4 years mine would be £220 a week

Why is yours 37 years? mine seems to be 35

This just hit the news again, worth considering if you have gaps, it's not big money but looks worth it. If you log in to your HMRC account (i use the app) it's much easier to see the NI contribution years paid, pension forecast, missing years. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/cost-of-living/martin-lewis-urges-state-pensioners-29363415 https://www.gov.uk/voluntary-national-insurance-contributions/deadlines If i added another 4 years contributions to the max 35 years, about £3,200, over 10 years I'd receive an extra £10,400 ignoring inflation

Yep, i bought my 18k BTU TCL on your recommendation and yes it's very good, much quieter than i expected, in fact so quiet i hear the next door condo AC instead of mine. It was 11k baht, bargain

Of course unwarranted but the LBs can get abusive when someone is clearly not interested

The LBs are too pushy, pushes some guys too far

hence why trying a video call appointment might be a good idea, they'd love you for it, less demand on them, it's the face to face appointments that are difficult

Yes, I don't think they keep track of people, patient's do video calls these days, maybe worth keeping them up

The Cigna insurance does sound too good to be true, maybe it's Cigna Thailand. Also taking someone on at 76 has not been mentioned before, is it in the policy doc? have your pre-existing conditions been excluded? if not they will just make them up when you claim

Enough said
