Travelling form A small town on the Lao border to Ubon city. Have Chon Buri plates but have been staying in Ubon for 6 months and my address registered at Ubon immigration. Need some home supplies for Global House. Think it is safe to travel into the city for a couple days?

God, I hope not! My Mom is bat <deleted> crazy.

As they say, "you make your own luck". With that said, you are extremely lucky. Been with hundreds of women and even thought I loved a handful. Looking back, I was just an a-hole only concerned about myself while convincing myself of my selfless nature in regards to the relationship(s) I was in at the time. Chasing my mighty organ around every day as it sniffed for new prey. Sure it was a rush like a good drug that eventuality warps pleasure. You just do it out of habit. Was dating a sexy older woman before Covid hit. The pre-Covid woman moved in at lockdown. She didn't have to move in and has other homes and condos. She definitely doesn't need me which is comforting for some reason. Been with her for almost 2 years and no desire for another. She is hot and we laugh incessantly. WTFFF is happening to me!

Sorry, think I'm not clearly expressing myself????. There are many but definitely the minority that have religious believes but are open to other possibilities. Few have a religious believe and are not compelled to defend it. The OP oddly finds it hard to understand why others don't think like him. There are many well rounded and intelligent people that do believe in a God. I'm OK with their believes even though I haven't found "a" God myself.

Think that is what I stated.

Over the years my atheist stance has transformed. Now i simply do not know and open to new ideas. All the current popular religions, Buddhism included, are hard to take seriously unless altered to a point that no longer resembles the original beliefs. Have no idea about the origin of our existence and those that think they do are just full of cra@#!p. The nearest a person can come to the true spiritual nature of our existence is a hunch at best. An open minded evolving spiritual journey is grounding and simply "fun". Why not enjoy the journey with no definitive answers while many pontificate spiritual reality as if they have any idea.

Ok, I think you feel I'm arguing with you. Not the case. You went through everything I stated and from the first paragraph to the last and made some odd comments. Answers to your questions or additional info: * 3 mil baht * Relatively minor injuries - 2 weeks intensive care and my family was told it was 50 -50 I would survive. 4 weeks in total in Petchabun hospital and another 2 in Chiang Mai. Just trying to have a constructive conversation. If I offended you, sorry.

Beyond my budget but would sure eliminate worry. Assume you travel out of country quite often?

I assume it depends where in Thailand but even in Bangkok I doubt 99% of accidents result in bills exceeding 2.5 million. Could be wrong but have had some terrible accidents in Thailand. In both cases, I was taken to public hospitals which I think is the norm. Regardless, I was not coherent enough to argue. -The first was in Chiang Mai and spent 2 weeks at the hospital. Punctured lung and broken bones. Great experience -50,000 baht 15 years ago - relevant? -Second in Petchabun 5 years ago- 2 week in intensive care and 4 weeks in total. 4-5 MRI's, punctured lung, broken bones, and my internal organs were a mess. 110,000 baht Granted these were public hospitals and the one in Petchabun was not pleasant. I had no choice. Doctors in the USA agreed with the doctors in Petchabun that air vac or ambulance transport wasn't an option for the first 2 weeks. Below are some prices in US dollars - source: Pacific Prime Thailand Bypass surgery 15,000 Heart valve replacement17,200 Hip replacement17,000 Knee replacement14,000 Gastric bypass16,800 Cataract surgery (per eye)1,800 Spinal fusion9,500 This is why I started this thread. I think I'm missing something in my conclusion that 3 mil is enough.

Did but no results. The search pulls up mostly unrelated info.

I know this is hard to answer. We all have different needs and savings/income. Is 3 million enough coverage for Asean countries for a very healthy 54 yo. What is your max coverage?

I in the sticks and when running don't wear a mask. I have one tied to my neck because I might come in contact with people. I hope this isn't an issue but the last few weeks I get the sense even running is not OK maskless. Lady was video taping me yesterday or she may have just stopped her motorcycle to read a message on her phone as I was running towards her. Paranoid! Treadmill delivered yesterday and will start using it more often.

Shirtless runner on my fast runs and wear a shirt on slower runs. Joker?

Also makes a quick divorce difficult. Million ways to motivate her to sign the divorce papers but her emotions will be all over the place. I bet you think all is settled at least 5 times before you actually have her next to you signing the papers. She will be a devil and a saint in the span of a few hours. I was fortunate to be staying less than 30 minutes away when she was in a saintly mood and the official divorce signing went smooth.

You're still with her because you need her and she needs you. You built a dream 6 years ago and are clinging to it. Just let it go and move on. Your dream died years ago and now you have wasted years to look back on. Reality bites but the future can be better. Everyday you spend in this relationship is a reflection of your weakness which you will see someday is not justified. Be a man and let her find her way without you. She has a home which is probably much more than she dreamed before meeting you. Pack your bags and tell her you are moving on. Don't tell her where and let her know you will be sending funds (amount up to you) for the kid to her bank each month. all considering, the kid is almost assuredly not going to benefit from your presence. She will have to get a job or not. Up to her. Be careful with the details. I went through ending a 20 year marriage here and pulled it off reasonably well. Gave her everything in Thailand and kept my investments outside of Thailand. The most important detail is the clean break so you can start to rebuild. Don't convince yourself that it is OK to stay in your dream home while you workout the separation details. Do it through email or Line. Setup times to meet at city offices to register divorce and try your best to not try to fix anything in the relationship. It is OVER! Good luck and in your current you need a lot of it.

Been on the road now for 9 months and my Chon Buri plates have made it difficult to impossible at times. Every province, city, village seems to make their own Covid restrictions and occasionally strictly enforces them. Started to become more than just major headache earlier this year and decided to just find a a resort I liked and stay until travel was easier. Good idea but now need to get out of this rural village/town and shop and relax in a city. One last thing, one hotel told me no farangs. Called back and talked to another person and was told no problem if I am from the province of Ubon. Business owners and the public including me seem to have little idea of anything Covid related. Going to immigration today and ask for some document that shows I reside in Ubon. Already reported my address and hope this is easy. Any idea what document I should request? Also, has anybody traveled in and out of the city of Ubon the last week? Any issues?

Heard this many a time and it seldom happens. Would be nice and hope you are right. 50-50 IMO...

What would happen if your app was denied? Large overstay fine?

I think a form of electronic cash will eventually eliminate cash. Also think Crypto is a terrible investment and a fools game for the vast majority. Many will make fortunes and eventually lose them. Rinse and repeat until eventually a viable path is found to use crypto currencies efficiently. In its current state it is almost useless in most situations in comparison to the ugly cash in my wallet. It is fun and extremely profitable game for most at the moment and in the end most will lose lots of real money who have invested in all to almost all the crypto currencies out there now. 10 years from now a form or many forms of crypto will be functional alternatives to cash and sound investments. If I was young and dumb, I would follow the herd over the cliff because I lack the ability to see all alternatives and there are many. With the above stated, for those on the crypto train, best of luck and you very well may not need it.

Well stated and done without being a righteous fool. I wonder if the money was given to an officer or the medical staff and the department. The latter is less likely to promote bad convictions.

Aren't most murders solved in few days if they are ever solved? So they solve a murder and they are fools - strange.

I do it daily but have been warned by locals that it is not safe. Just shrugged it off but a few days ago my GF narrowly escaped two young kids on a scooter on a deserted rode. She was so timid before meeting me and would never be alone on a road like this at dusk. my fault! We were both stupid and after giving it more thought it became apparent why the locals warned us. The drug addicts in this area buy and do drugs in the remote area that borders the resort we are staying at. 999 out of 1000 times on this road no problems but that 1 time if you are female would be terrifying. I found her on the patio shaking and took her 12 hours before she was normal.

54 yo. 6 years ago when I was on the bike 15 hours a week it regularly dipped below 30. It is uncommon but many endurance athletes are in the 30's. I would estimate 5 beats can be attributed to focus and really isn't a resting HR. If you are bored with nothing to do meditate to your heart beat and you will be surprised how much you can control it in a months time. Stopped doing this years ago for some reason and really haven't tested it in a while. It was 44 after lunch and a long run at the hospital the other day so 35 sounds about right.

Yes, aware of the data in the article. After the second jab the odds of death are miniscule for an extremely healthy 54 year old " IMO ". My idea of minimal risk are probably much different so by no means am I stating you are wrong. Rough Odds using data from article: odds of being infected x odds of dying. .1 (5x reported cases Thailand)x 1/618 ( death/infected hospital workers) = .00016 My odds are comparably much lower than this. I have a BMI of 20, low blood pressure, resting HR of 35, and regrettably no longer consume alcohol. I exercise daily 1-2.5 hours. In a study of 100,000 people in S Korea that just came out a few days ago confirms what many are saying. Very active people are 60-75% less likely to die. I would put myself in this group so below are my numbers. .00016 x .4 = .000064 ( again - this assumes zero protection of being infected after Sinovac 2 jabs ) Regardless of my specific odds, 1 death out of 600 hospital workers, shows Sinovac is preventing death comparable to the other vaccines. Maybe I'm missing something. S Korean Exercise impact on Covid-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym0ZA8pZYs4
