I make it myself, there any many options if you are determined. I wish I could be of more help, but here in England the laws prevent me doing so.

I would eat a good healthy raw food vegan diet and take cannabis oil, I certainly wouldn't let the doctors near me with there chemicals radiation and heroin.

Hey Buckoy, do you eat and live this way now? Just curious because you said "would."

I don't follow this diet strictly now, but I do eat only organic where I can and try and eat raw food every day. I don't eat processed foods or any refined food stuffs and only eat meat once a day. I have been eating like this since my mother died in 2010 of breast cancer and my father died of bladder cancer in 2011. I also consume cannabis oil as a preventive measure and a general health booster.

Thanks for taking an interest in my diet, I can send you a sample of my stools for you to check if you like.

Walking street had appeal, when you could ride and park your motorbike outside lucky star or marine disco and when you could get a beer from the pharmacy opposite marine disco for 25 baht and sneak it in to marine and wait for the gogo girls to finish work and go for a dance. They were the days

I thought it was best in the mid 90s when it was still relatively new. I liked to sit in Lucky Star bar beer and watch the passing parade till late, then go to the discos till dawn.

Now they don't even have music in Lucky Star bar and Jenny Star has closed- that was always entertaining to watch.

It was fun watching the police come and all the ladyboys running away from jenny bar.

You could people watch all night long, some right characters around. It is 1000% different to the mid 90's. It was free and fun, no helmets, no big yaba problem and Thai people where not so tarnished with the ruder nations that since are flocking to pattaya.

I went to the one in maha sarakham on several occasions, had some good nights in there, although it's as described by the op. Carrabao the rock/folk group are owners or part owners of the tawan daeng group and we did go to see them there.

Thanks for the replies.

Can we do the same thing when going through passport control in Schengen countries, specifically Holland and Germany ?

Yes it's the same in any schengen country, I travelled to France by ferry form the uk and there were no problems at all on exit and return. We also had a long stop off in schipol, Amsterdam, and we went through customs and went in to the centrum for coffee and a look around, but when we came back through the Dutch customs they detained us for 20 mins as the guys at the desk were not sure on the protocol. I was a little annoyed but they were polite and said sorry for the delay.

I did have a women at heatrow tell me my wife had to go in the non eu cue, I told here she didn't know what she was talking about and joined the eu cue and when I got to the desk verified it with the woman at the desk and pointed out their staff needed training better.

Any thoughts on air/filters / cleaners / humidifiers for kids? Our little one gets a pretty bad cough at the best of times ... would a humidifier for her room help? any recommendations?

An ioniser could help, there are many available online of various prices

You can buy online, just need to check if it's legal, it is in the uk but can't honestly say if it is in Thailand.

I would take hemp oil rather than fish oils for omega-3 and omega-6. Hemp oil has a perfect 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids, which matches the balance required by the human body and hemp oil is less contaminated and more organic than fish oils.

Maybe you could strike a deal at soi 9 if you have millions, but as soon as you are in the system there no bribes to get you off your charge.

And yes there are bribes to be had in the cells, like visiting privileges etc, but a farang once in the cells, can not bribe to get his charge dropped.

That's not accurate and yes i am speaking from personal experience.I was also talking from personal experience, but being Thailand I know there are exceptions to the rule.

Sounds like you didn't get a good outcome, commiserations.

I have never been nicked, luckily, but I do have genuine experiences and enough knowledge of what I was talking about to comment accurately. But please do enlighten me to my inaccuracies.

He should have tried to pay the cops on the street, as soon as you are at soi 9 there are no deals to be made.

slightly inaccurate, its all deals once you are in the cells at soi 9, probably a little more costly tho

As long as he can afford bail, he will be out in a few days at most, 6 -8 weeks he will be fined b1000 and red stamped and sent home.

Thai snake head fish, when fresh is a very nice change, barbecued or in a soup.

Multivitamin, and fish oil capsules. Lots of spinach and avocado for natural vitamin & minerals. Probably the best thing I take is to avoid caffeine and alcohol, and keep salt low. The long term effect of all three is not good.

The latest studies show multivitamins are a waste of money. Coffee and tea in moderation is actually health promoting for MOST people. Alcohol as well except there are calorie issues with that.

Coffee in moderation is ok, it has a lot of good properties.

Also salt here in Thailand is not a bad thing especially if you exercise outdoors. I'm a runner, I actually take salt tablets.

Glass or 2 of red wine is good too.

So, I guess I don't agree with Jingthing on those 3 items.

It depends what salts you take. Refined salt is bad for you full stop. Natural salts, i.e rock or sea salt are essential. Refined salts cause arteries to block because of glass and sand used to refine the salt. The cholesterol is produced to repair the damage caused by the glass and salt.

If they're working what's the problem? They'll pay tax and contribute to the economy just as the Poles and other EU citizends have done.

The problem is the poles, Romanians etc will work for a lot less than Brits and will put up with harsher conditions, making the minimum wage the norm and taking away any rights the workers had.

Well I do agree with you, that they will be working for much less then the Brits would

but don't blame them, blame the employers who pay less to those foreigners because

they are convenient, cheap and are not organised.

Not the immigrants fault. We just use them to fill our empty spaces and as cheap

labourers and when things go wrong in our countries, we feel very nationalistic,

we want them all out. We will even point our fingers at people who have foreign

sounding names or looks but have our nationality.

I believe it's not just a British syndrome but all over our "developed" world.

Everywhere a little bit different but same-same.

It is a human trait not to accept that one-self is wrong.

Think back in history... how were "Empires" made?

By absolute dirty, inhuman means, isn't it?

Can those "Colonizers" be proud today and advertise their actions while preaching about "rights" whatever they might be?

To put it very simply - disgraceful!

The colonisers died a long time ago, absolutely nothing to do with me. That is a pathetic statement. Yes I am English but that's were the similarities end. If I was a coloniser, I would want the cheap labour to fill my big factories.

That really is a weak comment and to compare it to today's situation is stupid. Infact I don't know why I am wasting my time replying.

I never blame them, I blame the government 100%. It is what they want, to make the uk more competitive with the rest of the world, but as a result life is getting harder for working class Brits and the rich get richer.

I watch deadwood every few yrs, its THAT GOOD!

Deadwood is brilliant, shame it was never finished properly.
