The "stolen Valour" meme has been debunked a few times - keep up!

I meant to include baiting and waiting. And of course - Arrogance

A highly prejudicial post, not worthy of any further comment.

I thought somebody would ask me that! Of course not! I am one that believes sometimes people do things that are certainly not acceptable but they can be so genuinely upset or angry that they justify to themselves anything that might allow them a, "now we are quits" My original comment simply expresses a possibility that the photo looks more like a deliberate attempt to trash the room in one incident rather than it being a result of prolonged negligence. It matters not to me whether I am right or wrong.

I find this photo a little difficult to process: It is stated that it is a "rented room". If it is only one room being rented then there doesn't seem to be a bed, no sink, no obvious signs of kitchen equipment and nowhere to shower. To me, that photo doesn't show me that the tenant was incredibly untidy but that everything was just thrown in there. I think there are other parts of the accommodation that we can't see and maybe as a result of a separate dispute, the tenant decided to leave and get revenge! On the face of it it looks like a disgusting tenant - but is there more to it?

An excellent and thoughtful comment to a disrespectful question.

Answering the question How to increase your free time: Don't do anything!

When he writes it, "Crime and Punishment" by Donald Trump - from his prison cell!

An important matter that is hardly mentioned is that recorded covid deaths and suffering are additional to deaths and suffering from all other causes, whatever you want to call them, including flu.

It is widely recognised as almost certainly originating from the first recorded case in Kansas, USA, in March 1918

Yes, they are!! Businesses, particularly the corporate ones all over the world have one major objective: "Maximise Profits" They market themselves in ways that are designed to be confusing and misleading. It is difficult these days to to buy anything at the price it is offered at! What irritates me is that sometimes, as a Member, one will see a price for something and in the time one has done some research (just a few minutes) and decided to book the original viewing, the price has increased. With regard to Agoda and Booking dot coms, I have been a Member for fifteen years and until I married my Thai wife seven years ago, I booked under my name with them. Since then, I go to Agoda etc only to look for what I want and when I find it, my charming wife goes direct to the Hotel or resort, does a deal that is nearly always a better one. And you might be surprised to learn that when we check in, they never register me, only my wife; I am talking over the period, about 40 times in many parts of Thailand; hotels large and small. A few years ago, I flew to Shanghai and back to Bangkok. In looking for a good deal, I first went to Thai Airways and obtained a price. Later in my search I went to Indian Airways and got a deal at half the price. Nothing special about that but I noticed that the flight details (Indian) showed that it was exactly the same as the Thai and the same flight number. I did the trip and yes, it was as I understood it - the same flight. same plane.

Two points I would like to make here: It seems to have been forgotten that a Chinese Doctor in Wuhan who discovered the Covid virus reported it to the authorities who quickly admonished him and hushed it up. That Doctor later died from - Covid I think this can suggest that those Authorities is at least partly responsible for allowing Covid to leave their borders. Reparations or even accepting any responsibility? Good luck with that one! Secondly, as it relates to the USA, the first diagnosed case of Covid was of a woman from Wuhan but little was done to prevent the debacle over the next two years under the Trump administration.

If cost is a very important factor. then the house to which I refer is about B6,000 per month. It has aircon, only 5 kms from the city centre and in a fairly quiet area. The cancer hospital itself is in the countryside and other hospitals in Lampang centre can be recommended. Good luck with your quest.

Hello Mate, So sorry to hear of your situation and hope you can find somewhere suitable for your wife's chances of recovery and meanwhile enjoying some level of comfort. I have one idea I am in Lampang, close to a house I am aware of that is available at a very low rate and is only 6 kms from a dedicated cancer hospital. The house is very nice and spacious beside a lake and is fully equipped. If you think it would be possible to transfer your wife's treatment from Chiang Mai to Lampang that would be ideal.

How can any girl from any country be passionate with somebody they don't like?

You have answered your own question. If you have a regular regime of exercise and a controlled and balanced diet, you are most of the way there! I started in my mid-thirties the same thing - now I am 79 and kept everything going and have perfect health. Keep yourself motivated. Good Luck!

The simple answer, is because it is neither a game or a sport!

If you have been bitten by a dog, there is a risk, so vaccination is necessary in my view. Going to any hospital for treatment, Doctors will recommend vaccination also. Nothing to do with anybody trying to sell you something!! I have been bitten twice in Thailand while out cycling, first in 2010 and next time 2018 Neither dog was a soi dog. The costs of treatment and the vaccinations were easily manageable - the injections - about ten in all - were not remotely painful for me and I can assure you I am a wimp when it comes to needles and seeing my own blood! Anti-Vaxxer? Prepare to accept the risk!

That's the problem with some foreigners: Too many Thai people in Thailand! '

TIM WALZ is the one 7 august Somebody else for you to trash for no reason other than blind prejudice.

I am not sure if I am right but does a signal from his mobile phone indicate 100% that Simon was the one with it?

Before deciding to retire to Thailand, I visited a few times, including staying for a month, twice (with my then English wife) and we did a lot of research! Having lived here for many years now, I am very surprised at how little we knew when we first landed here and staying for good and a for few years after that! I now live in a predominantly Thai environment with my Thai wife and I know for sure that I have been accepted by every Thai person I have met!

I am very happy here; I don't have any problems with Thai life. I am unaffected by most of the negative aspects highlighted by some on this topic. I DO care but they are outside of my control so there is nothing I can do to change them so don't complain about them and place myself under unnecessary stress . There is one thing that irritates me greatly and that in more than 20 years, I have seen no attempts by Government, The Ministry of Transport, the Police or Parents to do anything meaningful to reduce the risks of death and suffering from traffic accidents!

I hope he will last long enough before November to start a justified jail sentence.
