Bars are a great place for single guys to socialise. When you live in a small room, why wouldn't you want to go out every night? When I was single and living in a guesthouse, I certainly did and made some lifelong friends.

She can if they're married.

Covered my pal's broken hip hospital bill, but he did have to pal the next 25kbht for a month in a care home after the hospital.

Factually incorrect, Thai government minimum insurance (for the motorbike) covers all riders, legal or illegal, for medical expenses up to 40,000bht.

I claim I don't care because I'll be dead of old age before it happens (if it is actually happening). How much of your electricity are you generating?

All the high ups supporting climate change alarmism seem to be buying beachfront property, despite proclaiming a 10m sea level rise in their lifetimes. Seems they don't even believe what they say. The banks (not known for risk taking home loans) still seem to be giving 30 year mortgages on seafront properties and the insurance companies (even less risk averse) will still insure such properties.

My first abject failure, The buds went mouldy while drying ........... Hanging to dry under the stairs at 63% humidity for 7 days. Went to put them in a jar and noticed white fluff on several of the buds (about 5gm of buds affected). Picked out the ones which seemed unaffected (35gms) Hopefully these will be OK. Drying them a bit more in a car box with a 12" case fan blowing over the top. Don't know what went wrong, never had this happen before.

How much of your own energy usage do you generate?

Anyone that repeatedly states 'the science is in' is clearly a Luddite zealot. Science is never final, there is always more to learn on every subject. As for climate change, it's irrelevant to my life, I don't care and I have no intention of changing my lifestyle to suit nutters. PS. I generate 70-80% of all my own electricity and accuse anyone that generates less while advocating 'climate change' alarmism, both a fool and a hypocrite.

Marry her or go to jail!

I generally only smoke my her own weed. I she only buys seeds that offer THC 20%+ (and cost less than 6GBP each) from Attitude seedbank. If I need to smoke more than 0.5gm to do the job, it's either thrown or used as a pizza topping.

More to do with the puppeteer pulling the strings of a mentally disturbed child IMHO. Now she's an adult she should be charged and jailed like all the other 'environmental' terrorists.

More to do with cross country cycling 40Km/day or trail running 15Km/day for 10 years.

Fell and cut my knee open (bone showing) while running in the mountains, 8 stitches, 250bht (CM neurological hospital) inc meds, another 150bht to have them removed. Fell off my bicycle face first, chin split, jaw broken, 2 teeth snapped in half, under 4,000bht (CM Siam Hospital), 8 stitches in my chin, jaw glued, 2 teeth rebuilt (5-8 visits in all). Yes, I think Thailand is cheap.

Yes. Why pay more?

No need, Laos still have a 'secret police' that follow foreigners around. One of the last and fiercest 'commie' holdouts.

You think someone wearing a catheter and bag should do those exercises?

You're completely right!

Just use the south facing roof and have less panels is the obvious answer. Isn't Huawei the inverter that only uses ultra expensive battery packs (that aren't available in Thailand)? Huawei 150,000bht for 5kWhr Vs normal 50,000bht for 10kWhr

No it's a waste of money, and there's no valid reason to have your panels pointing in 3 different directions.

The Thai doctors aren't all that good, the technicians are not really competent either. So far two major Chiang Mai hospitals have made the following serious mistakes in the past 10 years. 1. Said wife wasn't pregnant, she was, excuse they entered her test results into another patients record. 2. I needed a gall bladder removal or I would die, I didn't and 10 years later have no gall bladder problems. 3. My 5yo son (from wife that wasn't pregnant) needed an emergency appendectomy, and prepped him for surgery, I stopped them operating, it was constipation. 4. I needed a prostate operation (same symptoms as you), I cured it with antibiotics. So I'll repeat my question, what medications have they given you? A catheter won't cure anything, but it will stop renal failure, which happens if you can't wee for around 36hrs. If they suspect BPH, which is what the lazy Thai doctors usually assume, Normal procedure is catheter for 4-6 weeks if patient passes more than 400ml of urine after first insertion. With Doxazosin 4mg/day (or similar drug) forever. I'd also be interested to know why they took the catheter out after a week, without any evidence they had fixed the problem, and why they thought the problem had gone away? This isn't normal procedure for such a life threatening condition. Would also point out a person that can't urinate normally gets a catheter inserted in the emergency room immediately on arrival at a hospital, and the tests done after, there's absolutely no reason to keep you in hospital for 2 days. You do understand renal failure happens quite soon after you stop urinating? (cost of catheter, bag and insertion around 300bht, cost of removal 150bht)

What medication have they given you? You should have at least been given medicine to relax your blood vessels.

I always use Greenterra Peat Moss (no washing required). https://shopee.co.th/พีทมอส-70-ลิตร-กรีนเทอร์รา-(Greenterra-Peat-Moss-Substrate-F5)-วัสดุเพาะปลูกพืช-ปลูกผัก-ปลูกสมุนไพร-i.193303481.6734133850 Usually peat moss + bagsoil + perlite (40+40+20) mix works well for me. And I reuse the mix for the next generation of plants just adding a few extra handfuls of bagsoil.

That thread said can't in Thailand as well ............. so nothings changed. Seemed you could marry in HongKong. "Thanks for the lengthy post. In my case, the reason why I'd marry in HK is because I can not get A document saying that she was single and eligible to marry signed."

I had exactly the same 3 years back (6 weeks with catheter + doxazocin for 2 years). Was falsely diagnosed with enlarged prostate. Fixed it myself 2 years later with antibiotics as it appeared to be caused by a uti they didn't detect. Also in Chiang Mai.
