A change of colour of feces from a light colour to a blackish colour for no apparent reason can give a doctor cause to recommend a colonoscopy, but not a change of colour in the opposite direction.

White poop is an indication of liver failure.

Black poop is cancer.

Anything between the two is usually OK.

Do Thai women prefer ‘farang’ or Thai men? And why?

I've found they prefer whomever they think will give them the most money.

But for sexual gratification, a Korean or Japanese pop star/actor.

@BritManToo: I think that is quite remarkable, after all finasteride is a drug meant to shrink the size of the prostate. How can a doctor assess this without doing a prostate exam? Or did you take this drug without consulting a doctor? Just curious.

 

 

Finasteride is not a drug provided by Thai government hospitals.

Doctor said I could try it if I wanted to buy it myself.

I always agreed with your posts BritManToo, but you have sure surprised me here, condoning being drunk while riding a motorbike.

On a scooter, late at night, you're only risking your own life (and maybe the girl daft enough to get on the back).

I remember way back in the past, very early in the morning our motorcycles being chased all along Brighton seafront by a police car, me and my pals sped off and all split down different roads, the police car ended up behind me so I stopped, and my passenger got off and walked away. The policeman said, "what if a child had stepped out in front of you?", I replied, "a child in the main road at 1:30am?" 

I think you'd need to wait until they actually broke the contract.

Which would be not making the final payment at the due time.

What percentage of the price have they already paid?

Have you told them you will sell to another purchaser if the final payment date passes?

Prostagutt contains extracts of saw palmetto and stinging nettle, two ingredients often prescribed by herbalists, especially overseas, however I have tried them both and they haven't helped at all.

 

I've been taking Saw Palmetto (250 x450mg tabs from IHerb at $19).

Has no effect I can notice.

But in the past I guess you had to undergo a prostate exam before being prescribed finasteride?

Never had a prostrate exam in my life.

@stephenterry I agree, at 1bht/tablet it works, so why pay more.

Just curious, what is the price for this particular medicin plse??

Doxazocin, 1bht for a 2mg tablet from my local government hospital.

Finisteride 600bht for 30x 5mg tablets from the pharmacy.

If you want buy girlfriend she will stick with you as long as you have money, after that she's gone, also all property you build or buy.

How many women (of any nationality) stuck with you when you didn't have money?

Thought it was rubbish, not even slightly funny.

It is likely what is called benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) but you need to have a manual prostate exam to check. In addition choice of medication needs to take your whole medical history and other medications into account.

I never did, the Thai doctor just said "I know exactly what's wrong with you"

Took a blood sample then gave me the Doxazocin, no prostate exam.

The PSA number was low.

He worked me up to 5mg, starting at 1mg, and increasing the dose until everything worked again.

Are you stalking me?

I can't have a wife and gf? or must i check with you 1st?

Wife and gf totally normal here sunshine.

I live with my gf, and my former wife sneaks round for sex when the gfs out.

I always do everything backwards.

Neither of them has any CC debt, even the Thai banks aren't daft enough to lend those two money.

If I remember correctly, I read a while ago that you took dutasteride (or finasteride). Do you take this together with doxazosin or did you stop taking dutasteride/finasteride?

I was taking finasteride 5mg but the tablets were a bit expensive, and six months of them didn't seem to be making any difference. I've been taking one every other day, just to use up what I purchased. I probably won't buy any more.

I've had no side effects from either drug, apart from the reduced blood pressure, which doesn't seem to affect anything.

Otherwise, you will have to make a border run every 30 days

I knew loads of guys in Chiang Mai doing border runs to Mae Sai every 14 days. It didn't seem to bother them.

As for Vietnam, the Cambodian border is only a couple of hours ($6 bus) out from Saigon.

I thought it was just my imagination at first but the pollution in Chiang Mai has indeed been really terrible lately.  Why? Did they start burning the fields already?

Burning ban Feb to March means the farmers all started burning in December.

The hill tribes burning in the mountains aren't affected, as they won't be easy to catch.

Because they don't want you to see they're cleaning the toilet with your toothbrush.

I don't know about you, but I spend 2-3 times more on food than on rent, fuel electricity and water - which by the way is not that much more expensive in Spain.

Also: top medical care, extremely affordable, unlike in Thailand when you're older.

Why not tell us how much your Spanish rent is?

I'm paying 11kbht for a modern 3 bedroom house near Chiang Mai.

I've never found any cheap property rentals in Spain.

Odd how all the posters saying this or that country is cheaper than Thailand are always a bit shy with the details.

Take your current girlfriend’s advice and do exactly what she says about taking it all to the temple. Trust me she’ll feel better. It’s supposed to be a nasty curse so listen to your girlfriend. 

And she'll be less likely to poison you for laughing at her beliefs.

I think this is specifically about kissing, foreplay and cuddling.  And I think it's a cultural difference.  Some of you seem to agree, no?

I can walk into almost any bar and get all that for the price of a couple of lady drinks.

If you want both without changing gfs, easy option is out to a bar for the 'warm up' then home to the gf to finish it all off.

Same country, similar weather. The smog doesn't seem to affect the output although overcast does, it will be interesting to see how things perform when (if) the wet ever arrives.

You'd think there would be some bigger variations due to equipment differences, angle of panels, etc.

But you're right, smog made less difference than I had imagined, whereas overcast = almost no output.

I suspect monsoon won't make any difference either, as the sun will be stronger when it's out.
