I wish they would jail him snatch his big fat rearend straight out of the court room straight to booking have his perp walk in the orange suit or the paper painters suit handcuffed a real mugshot no makeup no comb over and his real weight.there will be protests so what it’s time !there won’t be throngs of trumpers crying blubbering and besnotting themselves.what many dont take into account is the absolute jubilation of the majority of Americans seeing this fraud put were he belongs!even if it’s just for a week!let that fraud do his court appearances on video like the rest of the people have to do when they run afoul of the law! Enough lock him up!!

Calm down ! Wishful thinking. Never going to happen.

I have often thought of visiting one of these clinics for a colon detox, this especially as I have a terribly slow digestive system and constipation, amongst other things is something I have to live with.

 

HOWEVER, a week ago I back-flipped off the back of a motorbike taxi on my steep drive and it turns out not only do I have concussion and a badly damaged heel, but I've also broken one of my coccyx vertebrae, which is extremely painful and the swelling interferes with many things in that area, so a visit to the local Phuket Detox clinic almost opposite the main entrance to Bangkok Phuket hospital seemed to be a good choice.

 

It's a very small place and it has a colonic irrigation machine on the second floor, so I booked a session there and then, and the woman in charge, Mon, was very pleasant and helpful in getting me set up for the session. It was pretty easy although having a catheter like plastic pipe stuck up my bum (but only for a couple of inches) was not that pleasant, probably because of the swelling from my injury, however we went ahead and she did manage to flush out some pebble-sized faeces, which had been there for about five days since my accident, so I was most pleased about that.

 

I may well make it a fairly regular occurrence due to my slow digestive system, as well as increasing fruit and fibre, along with water. However if anyone else wanted to try this for one reason or another, I can recommend this place.

 

The telephone number is: – 096 696 4553.

Thanks for ruining my breakfast.

The RTP continue to arrest sex workers. Hopefully, one day, they will focus on murder, theft and violence.

I have lived in Chiang Mai for over 7 years and “ I will never understand the local people”.  Recently the following interactions have occurred:

 

1. Went to a well known clinic that is part of a major hospital for a bood test.  The clinic opens at 0700 and I showed up exactly at that time.  All the employees seemed upset that I showed up at 0700.  Got the blood test done but the cashier had not come to work yet.  This made the employees ever more upset.  I waited until 0800 when the cashier showed up and paid for the blood test.  The clerk then slammed the receipt on the counter.  I later found out that the clinic employees get to the spend the first hour relaxing because most patients do not show until at least 0800.  I guess “ it was my mistake for showing up when they opened”? 

2. Used to go to a gym that opens at “0700”.  During my time at this gym they would open at 0730, 0800, 0900 and once at 1200.  I asked the employee and eventually the manager about the inconsistent opening times and all got was a smile but no answer.  I found another gym shortly after.

3.  I recently booked a Grab car.  When the car arrived I entered and slipped on the floor mat and hit my head on the door frame.  The floor mat had a slipperysubstance and when I pointed this out to the driver she started laughing.  I guess  this was funny to her. The slippery substance looked like Armour All?  

 

Is admitting to a mistake and apologizing to a foreigner not possible? 

Not only in Thailand. These days pretty much like this everywhere. 

The cost of overheads incurred in running a bar, particularly rent in popular locations, has increased enormously over the past few years, hence the higher prices. In quieter areas you will be charged less, obviously.

Canada was awful and like you I'm missing my wifey.

 

Currently lounging at the HK airport, thinking about sweet Thai women. Oh how lucky we are to be so privileged.

 

I guess Canada was never meant to be. 

Same reaction when I was last in broken Britain. Couldn't wait to get back to LOS which is still a great place to live. Good food, warm weather, friendly people. 

Waste of time trying to go the blue book route. Simply not possible under current regulations. Get a yellow book, and thereafter a pink card. Latter worth having. Can be useful at times.

Please, next time just say good morning, that's what I do, most times they give you a nice smile and a wave. 

 

Thai's are very nice people, I've travelled to over 40 countries, the Thai's are the best. 

 

Try to get along, you'll find your days will be much more enjoyable. 

 

The guy may have personal issues, family problems, he doesn't need you telling him what to do. 

 

Well said.

this morning when I was about to take out the trash I saw a thai person sitting in front of my gate.

he was actually leaning on the gate itself

 

I don't know who they were but he was sat down playing with his phone.

 

I polite asked him to move

which he did,

but he also swore at me in Thai and kicked my gate.

I think he may have been drunk.

 

just to be clear, this is a private residence and his back was leaning on my gate.

 

This whole situation has caused me a great deal of stress,

I hope I will be OK.

 

bob.

Try deep breathing. Inhale quickly, exhale slowly.

Cheap flights to blame.

If this minor incident gave this Dr PTSD what will she be like working in a busy A&E dealing with people with horrific crash / violent assault injuries....when there is blood and guts and brain matter all over the place...?

Not a minor incident. How would you react if someone kicked your mother, or wife, or daughter ?

Unfortunately the Biden administration is too incompetent and cowardly to at least administer the rule of law. And that's why the plotter of a failed coup is allowed to run for the presidency again, like nothing ever happened.

Incompetence and cowardice.

And if you, or anyone else, believe all charges against Trump are fabrications, why not let judge and jury decide about that. The American way.

Instead, Trump and his clan are delaying and delaying, while threatening everyone, from judges to witnesses.

The American way ? Personally I would avoid the American justice system like I would avoid the plague.

Shop around everywhere, not just in Thailand.

Both pathetic and disgusting.

Dogs, and cats, are eaten parts of Isan.

A good diet and a daily exercise regime will help, although I appreciate there may be other issues.

For example: Lies Social.

How long did it take you to comeup with that ?
