All my bridges were burnt for me before I came here. My friends have all died, and my family are (poor) Thai. Nobody for me to borrow from, even if I wanted. I don't waste money on insurance, I'll accept death when it comes for me.

On line school lessons causing stress
BritManToo replied to Twigtom's topic in Primary & Secondary Education
My 10 year old is happy at home, and is no problem at all. Youtube videos, Xbox 360 games ........ he prefers it to school. I think western parents obsess too much about their kids school and education. -
Every Chinese take away I ever had in the UK was good. Never needed any specialist local knowledge.

I certainly prefer Chinese food in the UK to Chinese food in China. Chinese food in Thailand is also bad.

Condo ownership by foreigners revealed: China tops, UK in third
BritManToo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I thought the whole idea of a condo was to ignore everyone living in the boxes around you. Don't care who's next door to me, I don't interact with those outside my immediate family. Same as the Thais. -
Does TL have compulsory vaccination for new borns?
BritManToo replied to MlLAN's topic in Health and Medicine
Hospital issues notice of birth, which you then take to your Amphur office and they issue a Birth Certificate, and update your house book. Some hospitals will do it for you at extra cost, Also best to do it yourself as the hospital usually manage to mess up foreigner names, it's hard to correct and many people don't like some strangers name in the 'reporting the birth' box of your kid's BC. I don't know about quickly, My kid was born late at night, I collected the notice at 8am along with all the other dads, and we drove to the Amphur office, the BC was in my hand my 9:30. I guess it might be more difficult for foreigners who can't read, write and speak Thai. -

Birth certificate is issued by the Amphur Office, it's nothing to do with the hospital. -

hematologist Rajavi Hospital Chiang Mai
BritManToo replied to Havenstreet1940's topic in Health and Medicine
It's just those blood problems are well known among vegetarians. They may go away if you start eating normally again. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12460231/ "vitamin B12 and iron status were compromised by a vegetarian diet. Variations in mean corpuscular volume were determined by iron and vitamin B12 status. Lower lymphocyte and platelet count were accompanied by metabolic evidence that indicated vitamin B12 deficiency." -

repair/Maintenance shop for grass trimmer Honda UMK435
BritManToo replied to domdom's topic in Pattaya
Yeah, and 300bht. Took my strimmer to the local m/c shop, said how much and he replied maybe 100bht. Which was what he charged me when I collected it 2 days later. The pump bubble and fuel hoses had rotted.
