Tests in Thailand ?

How is the size of a prostate made ? Also I thought that a digital exam was the most reliable indicator of an enlarged prostate and normally the first procedure along with the PSA test .

To the OP , Adumbration , I admire your courage in bringing this delicate subject to this forum . Most men over the middle age years will have this problem to some degree . Many men are stubborn in getting a check up on their prostate because of embarrassment of a digital examination . I have been Googling the Aquablation technique and it appears to address all your concerns . Extract below from https://potomacurology.com/services/bph-treatment-options/aquablation/ What Are The Side Effects of Aquablation Therapy? We know that the primary reason men are delaying surgery is because they are concerned about side effects.1 In fact, a recent survey shows that 85% of men are concerned that surgery will cause incontinence, and 4 out of 5 men are concerned that surgery will have a permanent impact on their sexual function.1 In clinical studies, men who had Aquablation therapy had a very low rate of irreversible complications—incontinence, ejaculatory dysfunction, erectile dysfunction.2,3 0% impact on erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction or overall sexual satisfaction2,3,4 NEARLY ALL men with BPH preserve ejaculatory function with Aquablation therapy2,3,4 99% men with BPH did not have incontinence after Aquablation therapy2,3,4

Perilous pavements are a common feature throughout Thailand unfortunately . From street vendors who cause bottle necks to broken pavement tiles and concrete posts in the middle of pavements , there is also no consideration for those in wheelchairs or push chairs which is a reflection on Thailand's attitude to health & safety in general . To the OP , begging is illegal in Thailand and the normal police should act on your complaint .

Please explain how you do you remove the cvv number from the card ?

Me too , in my man bag . Nothing of real value do I leave in the hotel room bar one time when I had a lot of cash that I hid inside the air-con unit but never again .

Probably not because Thai insurance companies will repair if they can save any money on a right off settlement . I have seen this twice where badly damaged pick ups were repaired and one of them had a complete new 4 door cab fitted and it took 2 or more months to repair or thats how long it was to wait .

Agree , plus free from street vendors and concrete posts etc and no 1 foot drops to the road . I once saw a farang break his ankle at the top of 2nd road near Macdonalds . A tile was missing from the pavement and a 6 inch drop . More hazardous when walking at night . This goes for most of the towns / cities in Thailand , causing people to walk on the road . Pattaya missed an opportunity during the covid pandemic to improve facilities for tourists and locals . EG. Part of Beach road , could have made a promenade and provided some seating . Installed public toilets . I am not advocating copying Spanish resorts but there are basic Western health & safety standards which are not used in Thailand . Often farangs get caught out because they are accustomed to Western standards . I include street food hygiene and beach h&s

So the Thai baht is artificially inflated . What affect can that have on the Thai economy ? An overrated currency , pretending to be strong whilst in reality the country has lost manufacturing companies along with a drop off in tourism . I can only assume that it is the wealthy Thais who are benefiting from the supported baht through held tangible assets such as Bangkok buildings and office blocks etc .

Vinegar ? yes you can use it but the lemon or lime work well

Got mine on Lazada

Thanks for the recipe and mine is the same and but most of the time I prefer to use olive oil . Also it can be modified to make a Heinz type salad cream

Cannot agree on the local beaches that are highly polluted and rarely if ever tested . Often seen are used condoms and excrement floating in the water . Also be aware of rip tides and box jelly fish .

I do the same and you must have the stick blender because without it using a hand whisk it will not emulsify . BTW what is your recipe ( thanks for the pics , very good )

I am sure it suits some , especially the 2 week millionaires . To live there ? not for me . The pluses IMHO for Pattaya / Chonburi are 1/ some good hotels , 2/ some world class golf clubs , 3/ the availability of western food in restaurants and shops , 4/ plenty of prostitutes , if that is what matters ,5/ some decent guys . For sure I have had some fun there but no more than 2 weeks . But if that is what rocks your boat , so be it .

Really ? so not that many then , huh ?

Take the vendors and concrete posts carrying electric cables off of the pavements / walkways then relay with non-slip paving . In reality Pattaya is a xxxx hole that does not care for tourists but is interested in only how much money can be taken from them , be it corrupted police , lady boys , street vendors , bar girls , taxis , jet ski operators etc .

I have a total of 4 card readers . Now have 20 button batteries that all work after volt tester . My reader has 2 tiny holes in the back . I tried a few days ago pushing a pin but nothing happened. This time I could not find a pin but instead used a plastic tooth pick . Bingo , OMG it worked . So I then tried the other 3 readers with the same good batteries from the OK reader and none of them worked . I was then able to register and access UK Barclays phone banking which I will only use as the last cause because I am a bit skeptical using a mobile phone for banking . I am really grateful for your help and tips . The Nationwide reader would be great as a back-up to these unreliable Barclay readers . I will PM you soon . Cheers pal .

How very kind of you . Many , many thanks

100% agree . How can such a tragedy produce a laugh or " great news " comments . As said before , most Russians have fled their country for fear of the war or being enlisted and used as cannon fire . Not friends of Putin . BTW , the anonymous emojis are not helping with disrespectful replies / reactions . Emojis should show sender I.D. as they always did originally .

I have bought 3 sets of 4 button batteries ( lr44 1.5v ) from different sources for my 3 card readers , tested them with a volt meter and all OK . Google tells me there is a [problem with the card chip or magnetic strip but strange how it works in a Thai bank ATM but not my card reader machine . Barclays will send a new card to my UK home only and it has to be activated in a UK ATM or online banking which I cannot use without a card reader . So a UK trip is inevitable and I shall set up digital phone banking and get a new card .

In my case the reader is not unique to me . In fact the card readers are given by the bank on an unannounced visit to the bank . The card does require you to enter your ATM 4 digit code which then generates an 8 digit code that is entered into the on line app . Some years ago I used a Nat West card reader for my Barclay debit card . My appeal for a card reader seems to be unsuccessful and I will have to return to the UK .

Which air flight company do you think are the most reliable ? Recently I have had 2 flights from Don Mueang , re-scheduled ( same route but different dates 3 weeks apart ) . Then the same company ( Nok Air ) cancelled a Buriram to Don Mueang flight with 3 days notice . Follow on flight to Hong Kong already booked with another company . Much inconvenience and this is a regular scheduled flight . I can only assume that there were not enough passengers . A refund or alternative flight offered but no offer to assist in hotel accommodation which would be the case for an earlier flight the day before . Never had a problem with Airasia but they do not always have flights when I need them .

Totally agree . Some people have no respect and in cases like this they should get a warning from the moderators

So correct . Coming off a motorbike can do serious skin/tissue damage .
