  1. An MRI on a specific area of the body such as the knee takes about 45mins.... How long would it take for the whole body ????.....
  2. Oh yes you will !!!!!..... I know a few females considered 'particularly hi-so' amongst Thai's.... they have their tattoo's.... It's not common though - but your sweeping generalisation is wrong.
  3. I know some exceptionally wealthy Thai's who have Tattoos... they have enough eff-you money not to care what others think of them. I'm not a fan of tattoo's... however, their tattoo's look quite amazing and quite likely will do as they age. There are a lot of 'boomer' comments on this thread, but to be fair, I don't disagree with half of what has been written, but there is an also an outrageous amount of judgement. Tatts... It depends upon, who has them, their quality and how they are worn.... Most look like a poor after thought and lower the 'perception of said wearer' meanwhile tatts suit many people and look good on them.
  4. I never bother with Tailored suits... I've tried a couple of different guys and always found high-end off the rack (hugo-boss, Paul Smith, Givenchy etc) better if you're a 'conventionally sized guy. BUT... Shirts are different and I have found that Raja Tailors (corner of Nana) makes very decent shirts... I can't recall the price though.
  5. I know someone better than that... but he's my guy, my secret, so I don't want to tell anyone who he is, but I want to tell you all I know better than you all and have found someone better than you all....
  6. Kids are individual and evolve... Whats good this month, is not quite so good 6 months from now. I pay a lot of attention to my Son's eyes... of course, his behavior.. (he's 9). He usually falls asleep by 9pm... he's up just before 6am. I recently noticed him getting tired more towards the end of the school week so I tried to nudge this earlier so he'd be ready to sleep by 8:30pm sleep time (which means in bed reading at least 30 mins before that)... it never worked, he just wasn't tired enough to fall asleep. We don't wake him up at weekends... he usually gets up around 8 or 9 and has even been as late as 10am !!!.... they catch up somewhere, but its not good to do that every week on 'pattern'. We're not rigid clock watchers.... so there's usually a 30min variation... but most importantly his behavior dictates how we interpret his 'need' for sleep and sometimes I have to step in and 'make a change' to say thats it... this week its earlier to bed because last week he looked a little too tired in the mornings for my liking. Now its school Holidays he can go to bed when he wants, wake up when he wants. it's up to him to learn 'his' pattern and make 'his choices'.... he's learning when he's 'had enough' of being awake and ready to hit the sack... That if course is with the caveat, any misbehaviour, its back to a routine.... Come school time again... I'll have evaluated what I think is a good bed-time.. I imagine it'll be similar..... showered and in bed by 8:30pm and free to read for as long as he wants, turn the light out himself when he's had enough and ready to sleep.... It also depends, the mental energy demands on children vary as they age and evolve... the key indicators are behavior... and the eyes are a giveaway for tiredness... so I simply watch those indicators.
  7. No one ??? are you sure ??..... I'd hope by 60 years old most people aren't dumb enough to make such sweeping generalisations.... So... Are you hanging around with 75 year old tattooed women, or is it 60 yr old dope head saying 'wow man' ???
  8. Tell me your missus doesn't have the Welsh Dragon and Anchor.....
  9. Or.... 'Look at me! Look at me! Notice me!.... Oh cool, you noticed me !'.... It depends who's doing the noticing... it always has.
  10. How many 75 year old women with tatt's are you hanging around with ?????
  11. The answer for Mona Lisa's smile.. !!!... following a little 'renaissance' Trippy leaves his 'impression' !!...
  12. Google photo search shows that this guys is Swedish and goes by the handle: Gottfried...
  13. Has your lawyer also offered to consummate the relationship first... .... I've no idea what you look like... but, there is a saying... 'you can see 'em coming'... I think they may have quoted the Thai equivalent.... Obvious scam... play them along and have some fun with it.
  14. Its all Climate change.... all of it... and you you dont accept that you are a 'climate change denier'... Forget about how structures are built and designed around cyclic events, i.e. 100 year flood, 100 year storm etc... it doesn't matter... Anything 'extreme' that has happened before is still because of human impacted climate change... .... and don't let anyone with intelligent balance tell you otherwise... because the brainwashed climate change 'agreers' have listened to the 'science' !!!!!
  15. BitKub confirmed... - No changes for Foreigners (the Chip&Dip) is for Thai's only, foreigners will re-verify using the same methods as before. This does not explain why some foreigners are facing re-verification issues. - Another point - The App (For Apple) is also offline today while they run some sort of update (online via laptop is still available) - pretty annoying if you primarily use your phone or don't have quick access to your personal laptop.
  16. Yes... there was an automatic response that they were extremely busy and I'd receive an e-mail. A couple of days later I received an e-mail asking if my query had been responded to and if not follow up with an e-mail. I followed up with an e-mail..... no response yet.
  17. I did. Apologies.... I over cooked my earlier response... you are quite right... the 'nudge nudge, wink wink' comment does imply the Op was looking for a back-door method.
  18. Well... thats easy enough to check before getting in (vehicle type / registration) is shown on the apps.... But... I guess there is always some sort of possible angle here.
  19. This 'theoretically' gave her greater protection as there is a 'dual-accountability' compared to hailing a flagfall taxi where the details of the driver is unknown. That is, of course, IF the driver of the 'taxi-app' was actually the same person as registered.... And, of course, if the driver was alert enough for it to register that his details are on the record.
  20. Just doing his job. I've often wondered how lawyers can defend someone who is obviously guilty, Strange way to earn a living, and completely without morals. Agreed... necessary in a mature legal system, however...
  21. Who cares ???... Op is asking about getting a license here, not about how useful his experience of riding overseas will be here.
  22. Why not just deal with his question at face value instead of virtue signalling ?
  23. Where is your Drivers Licence from ? and does it have 'any' motorcycle (i.e. 50cc moped etc) endorsements ??? My UK licence has some 'minor' moped (low powered motorcycle) and trike endorsements... With this I was able to get a Thai Motorcycle license as the DLT did not know the exact details of the existing endorsements. So... It all depends what your DL actual is endorsed for. IF it has a little picture of a motorcycle - then the DLT may issue with a Thai Motorcycle licence without having to do the full set of tests.
  24. Troll a different thread... This one is about the possibility of BitKub not permitting non-Thai's to continue trading in the platform. Back on topic... I've contacted BK to ask about this... no response as yet.
  25. The lawyer is claiming that after killing multiple people the pressures associated with incarceration is someone else's fault ????.... ... the mind boggles.... The Lawyer is as bad as she is...
