sipi

There are some wonderful members out there. And thanks to all of you (you know who you are).

I previously mentioned Weegee, for his help in the "Has anyone been asked to go to .....". http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/773082-has-anyone-been-asked-to-go-to-the-wattana-psychiatric-hospital/page-10?hl= mental hospital

However, there was one member, and unsung hero who personifies what TVF is all about.

I am hopeless at "copy and paste" but http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/user/146184-ericnoodeeka/ went beyond the call of duty in his post on the above thread. Post #231.

I nominate him (or her......)

My blood is already too thin, a bleeder. I can't take aspirin. Maybe just those calf exercises will work. How about those electric exerciser pads you see advertised on television?

Can infants and kids get it? My son runs a marathon in his sleep, literally, to the annoyance of Mum and Dad.

The biggest problem between Thailand and Australia are those flight schedules. We often stop-over in Singapore or KL, but that is tiring in itself; and a bit more money.

Very interesting post David, and thanks.

Oh, I forgot. The symptoms? A toothache in the legs? Geez, I get that all the time......

You penned it down 2 years ago , why now again?

A new audience. And possibly advances in prevention and treatment.

Aroy

Can I give Weegee a quick 1000 votes?

Sorry to hear David. I would like to hear more about DVT. I have heard about it, but not from personal experience. The symptoms etc.

Perhaps you could repost in the medical forum.

It is difficult to get day flights to Australia. I find it easier to move about the cabin during day flights.

Do office workers get DVT? Or does altitude play a part....

It took a while for me to get used to the cleaning lady mopping around me while I was still going. Have you been to Phuket airport. You can check for your bags on the carousel from the urinal. I'll pay 20 baht for a little privacy.

Many congratulations CC. A lot of happy days ahead. Love to bub and Mrs CC.

I was seated at the front of the plane with my family on a flight from Udon to Bkk earlier this year. A monk was the last passenger to get on. His seat was directly opposite mine. Without thinking I helped him place his bag in the overhead bin. When we landed I retrieved it for him. When we got of the plane and onto the bus to go to the terminal, everyone stood aside to let us through. It was really weird. Apparently they had seen me help this gent and were returning the favour. They can be polite when they want to be.

Good job CC. God bless.

2 stroke or 4 stroke?

No problems

I hold the door open, smile and wait for everybody......

...with nice breasts.

Sipi, How much are you making a day out of the tips?

Who tips better the ones with small tits or the ones with big ones?

Important questions to be answered

I do it for free....

Why has Bangkok not been mentioned?

BKK has some beautiful/wonderous places to see - it's not really a beautiful city.....or - a fun city to get around in.....

Not like a San Francisco or Paris - or even New York.....

Yes I agree, was just putting it out there.

For me, Sydney harbour and surrounding beaches on a Spring morning does it.

I bought my wife out to Aust twice on a tourist visa before getting the spouse visa. Her second tourist visa wasn't stamped "no further stay". We got married as soon as we could appliedfor the spouse visa and got a bridging visa until the spouse visa was approved. Maybe we were just lucky. When we saw that tourist visa without the stamp, we ran from the BKK Aust embassy at the speed of sound, before they realised.

And even if they did want some assistance, there is no way that I (a farang) would turn up at the jail or police station with a roll of 1000 baht notes. Think about it. It can only go down hill for everyone from there.

I am getting this news third hand, so it is difficult to know exactly what is going on.

Du has been in a small provincial prison for a few days, not the Bangkok Hilton.

I asked my wife again today if they need a hand and she said all is ok, and the money was ready to pay. I believe it was 12 months or 30000 baht, so he should be out soon. They are a close family and life will continue as normal.

Some great replies. Especially Suradit 69.

I won't interfere as they know what they are doing. I'm sure he will be out soon. I will treat him with no difference to before. Can't wait to have a beer with him.

I can relate to the part in the OP about being cut off by motorbike riders when I am walking on the footpath. It happens all the time. The usual culprits are arrogant foreigners.

Really?

And so there isnt any "arrogant" thai's that do this?

Your showing your true color's!

Can you offer a less vacuous explanation for "showing your true color's"?

When was the last time you were in Udon

I'll start again, foreigners are the usual culprits.

Are you doing vigorous exercise during eating this spicy food? That would make you red-faced. If you are not sure, I suggest you wear a heart rate monitor. If your heart rate is over 130 beats a minute, that would probably be sufficient to give you a red face.

Maybe I should not eat spicey food when standing on my head.

He's doing ok for a man in his seventies...

Ok gents, he got caught smoking a joint and in possession (personal use only, as far as I know). He was away on a building job so there were no kids around. We don't know the full story, but this is as close as I can get.

I thought this was the sort of thing a quick few hundred baht to the guy in the brown shirt and all is well.

I'm guessing he ran out of opportunities to "assist" the man in the brown shirt. Du is no dill, but it seems he pushed the boundaries too far this time.

I could tell you some funny stories about him. Or better still, if you met him he is a real character.

I wish you'd give us something to work with Sipi......talk about a drip feed thread.

Making up,the details can be funny.

Soon the CSU TVF db's will be along to turn this entire affair into a conspiracy....maybe one day there will be a movie made about it. I hope I get to play the part of the father.

You want to play the part of the father.

Here is a photo of him with my son taken a few years ago.
