  1. I thought it was best to leave bore drilling until the dry season. I've always been told Feb, March or April are the best months for this as the water table will have dropped. Requires drilling deeper but will ensure water year round.
  2. I don't think I ever encountered this with my son either. He doesn't even think of himself as luk kreung, let alone other people.
  3. I thought that if it is rejected, he must wait for another 2 years before he can reapply.
  4. I think the pardoner needs to think carefully on this. I don't think it will improve his popularity rating.
  5. It is in the news that Anutin Charnvirakun will be the new Interior Minister. Hope this doesn't negatively impact current applications, but he is viewed as a racist person, particularly against Westerners.
  6. Passed through the tiny peninsula of Udon Thani yesterday on my bicycle ride. Three provinces in one day, Kalasin, Udon and Sakhon Nakhon. Sore as hell now but enjoyed myself. Noticed a big weather difference between the Kham Muang (North Kalasin) and Sakon Nakhon side of the Phu Phan range. Beautiful area and even though those hills were killers on the way up, they were fantastic on the way down.
  7. Tadafafil (Cialis) is prescription only. Drug stores selling it without prescription are doing so under the table. There are loads of streetside vendors along inner Sukhumvit in Bangkok selling a variety of performance enhancers including Cialis, but they are doing so illegally and there is no guarantee you are buying genuine product. Buyer beware.
  8. Standard daily dose of tadalafil (Cialis) is 5mg for treatment of BPH. It is also the same daily dose for treatment of ED and/or PE. However, Cialis is very expensive in Thailand and prescription only. Despite the patent having expired quite a few years ago, generic tadalafil is not available in Thailand, or it wasn't the last time I checked in about 2020-21. From checking just now, the only Thai companies that have registrations with the Thai FDA for generic tadalafil are Pinnacle Chemmed (tadalafil is not listed in their APIs on their website) and Sai Pharma (which is a supplier to Pinnacle among others). The Cialis brand registrations are owned by Zeullig Pharma in Thailand, as they entered a partnership with Eli Lilly for distribution of this drug, among others, in Asia.
  9. Wouldn't it be funny if this turn of events was true but as a result of his plans for getting a pardon going tits up, i.e. stress levels through the roof causing heart issues. Very unlikely, but we can always hope.
  10. Don't think he'd appeal to anyone, or at least anyone who sees him remove his Depends before entering the shower.
  11. No, I do not. Incidence of retrograde ejaculation post treatment is 3.1 % as per a study undertaken in 2022. I can't recall the cost of my MRI. I paid a package price with a few extras, but I got a special price as I managed to get in when they were promoting Rezum as a new treatment.
  12. My prostate size was measured using MRI. I had a number of other tests, including PSA, uriflow, etc. and was expecting a finger up the bum too, but it never happened.
  13. Strange, I have never been digitally examined. I had Rezum treatment at Bamrungrat Hospital in October 2021. But not sure whether it would be suitable for Adumbration as his prostate may be too large. The treatment is for prostates under 80cc. Mine was only 38 or 39. May be worth checking out these threads. While mainly about Rezum, they do mention other available treatments in Thailand.
  14. I will draw a lovely pension of appproximately Baht 5,500 per month (Thai Social Security pension), which will be supported by my savings. Most Thais who are official employees in companies will also get a similar amount. However, those working in small businesses or self-employed often do not pay in so they will get Baht 600/month when they retire.
  15. When I bought land in Kalasin, the officer at Somdej Land Department Office was a bit unsure when I presented my ID card, so she asked me to check with her boss. The boss just said to the effect that he has a Thai ID card so he is Thai. I don't recall ever having to present my naturalization certificate and never bother taking a copy with me when doing anything official. Yesterday, when opening a bank account at SCB in Kalasin, I just presented my ID card. There was a lot of faffing about though because their system did not seem to accommodate those with middle names, but finally got it sorted. Have any others encountered middle name issues? I know some of you have many more than one middle name. I can't be arsed changing my name though as that would open a whole new can of worms.
  16. I dislike the PCX so bought a Honda SH 150i when they were still available here. I'm glad I did too as Wave's and PCX's seat height is too low for me.
  17. Hope we get some spill over from Sakhon Nakhon. They've had quite a bit of rain this year but nothing much on this side of the hills in Kalasin.
  18. I was considering opening an Interactive Brokers account, but reading these posts, it makes me wonder whether I will be able to transfer money to an IB account from my Thai bank accounts. All my funds are located in Thailand and I don't have any overseas bank accounts. I did not realize that transferring money overseas as a Thai citizen would be an issue.
  19. You are a bit too polite. Sounds like a total .....
  20. Let me check my watch. Yep, as old as I was 30 seconds ago.
  21. In many cases, post treatment it gets worse before it starts to get better, depending on your healing response. If it happens to you, just ride out the storm and take comfort in knowing that things will improve eventually (speaking from experience).
  22. His time is over. Of course he still has supporters, but then so does Prayuth. However, I doubt very much that his once strong support from the redshirts, is still there. After all he did lie to them and throw them to the dogs and they are aware of this. Actually, I am quite surprised by how much the locals in my area would rather vote orange than red. They all know that he is still pulling the party purse strings too.
