Is this a true statement that no Thai man would marry a woman who has a kid as they don't want to raise or have anything to do with another man's kid?

Some will, some won't.

It's not a problem, there's always grandma in the village.

Make her happy and she will make you happy - that is the way it is - period - all over the world - same same.

Happiness is a temporary state.

At some time in the future, she won't be happy.

I was mentioning from my experience of being here at those ages with normal Thai women of a similar age. I am not referring to the P4P scene like some other posters in here are. 

I like a lot of your posts, but you sometimes struggle to comprehend the points some posters make at times. 

I was suggesting you are too young to tell a 'normal woman' from a prostitute.

After the divorce, you'll have more knowledge, and you'll realise they are sometimes indistinguishable.

The main difference only being the payment plan.

Standard Thai male procedure, they are like a Panda... eats shoots and leaves.

I believe it's the wombat that eats, roots, shoots and leaves.

Again, this is my view coming from my experiences of being here in my mid 20s - early 30s and will vastly differ from other people's. 

I hadn't a clue what was happening around me until I was over 50.

Men in their 20s-30s know nothing, but believe they know everything.

Sure but they cost a fortune to restore, because French construction workers don't work for 300 baht a day.

Better solution, plenty of bridges and forests in France, and cost nothing to stay ...........oh and forget of a lady jumping you as soon as you're free in France, or even get a <deleted> on the cheap.

I'm a builder, why would I hire someone else to do the job?

One of the problems with the west, you need planning permission to live anywhere.

A cheap run down farm already has the permissions to live, even if you just live in a yurt, and forget the repairs.

I'm a bit past the stage of wanting a woman, I'm looking forward to death next.

Only a few months ago it was flogged as the promised land on this forum.

Not from me, I've always clearly stated Cambodia and the Philippines as the easiest places to retire.

I've only ever considered Vietnam a nice holiday destination, unless you marry a local.

There's no "hidden" agenda. It's as clear as the light of day. The Thai government does not want poor foreigners living here.

I think you're wrong.

The Thai government doesn't want white men living here, giving their peasants ideas about freedom and democracy.

They don't give a damn about poor foreigners living here, the countries full of poor Cambodians and Burmese, and Laotians.

^{From my experience it also good idea to change your diet.}

^{My doctor gave me list which foods to avoid as I age.}

^{For example itching in penis caused by spices and alcohol, also beef should be avoided.} 

I always love the Quack diet suggestions.

They're usually more bonkers than the 'herbal remedies' suggestions.

Is life really worth living as a Vegan teetotaller?

I think you did well! If I'm not mistaken, the way the law is written, it's illegal - in Thailand - to have the drug in your system. So I don't think that a Thai judge would acquit you even if you could convince them that you didn't "do drugs" in Thailand.

Let's hope the Thai authorities don't think of wee testing all Americans and Canadians as they're entering the country. That'd be a nice little earner ...... bad guys out, etc.

That's what the anti-biotics say is one of the things they are supposed to cure, and as I don't have an ear infection I would guess that's what it might be, but 2 days before I had the "Procedure" I had a urine test and it was negative

 

So I must have got the UTI from "The Procedure" which he may of thought I would get as he gave me six of these a/b's at the time

 

Weird, just weird

When they shove stuff up there, there's always a chance of a UTI.

It's normally something like strep, which is all over the outside of your skin and the doctors skin.

I had a UTI a few years back that Amoxy didn't touch, but Cipro killed instantly.

So every few hours the issue goes from wanting to pee, to itching, to pain, all the time.

He gave me a/bs after the procedure and when I rang to tell him what was happening he told me to get some more which I have since done, but everything is the same.

Bad luck dude, hope you get better soon.

Sounds like a UTI, but what do I know.

Just be aware......................

 

Side effects of Finasteride include:

• impotence,
• loss of interest in sex,
• trouble having an orgasm,
• abnormal ejaculation,

Didn't do any of that to me.

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.
