Υοu are under medication and its not recommented for medicine use to use online..... doctors or not doctors sources.

Are you kidding?

You are going to use medicine and medicines are not cosmetics ......Come on do not bet your health status and pay a visit to doctor he is the most qualified. When your car is broken are you going to an electrician or to ....a mechanic?

But if you are going to the gym and you feel "tired" or in bad mood you should take vitamin magnesium taurate with vitamin B and B12 with some sweets to be absorbable between your meals with oil and my advice is to stay away from anabolic sports supplements that only retain water in the kidneys and make us thinking we are .......Schwarzenegger & Stallone.

We are going to the gym to improve our health and strenth and not to destroy it.

 

 

Well said mate !  You tell 'em !

I have noticed a lot of guys mentioning they exercise a few times a week or everyday 

What is your exercise regimen

Unfortunately I had to cut down as I got older , training everyday did make me tired even with testereone injections 

Im sure the police j don't just receive a noise complaint call from a neighbour then raid the house though

It's obviously planned

Be all teens from rich parents I imagine

Yes, indeed. Love that book! Great humor and very easy story telling.

Would it be up there with the brilliant books such as the "Psychometrics of Air ?

Verging on pathetic!

Thankyou 2baht for your personal messages too, I had no idea about cholesterol that's one thing I should get tested as well I never thought of it , is cholesterol a big thing though 

Unfortunately I have been busy reading the E books about the Psychometrics of air and soil 

I have been on this Amlodipine blood pressure meds for about 10 days 

Lately I have been feeling fatigued,tiredness lethargic etc 

I'm thinking it's this 

My BP before Amlodipine was 140/87 

The dr said that's too high go on the Amlodipine 

I went to the doctor told him I missed the gym the last 7 days 

He suggested a blood test ,will know the results later ,he had no answer

Wouldn't blame it on Amlodipine 

But I'm sleeping better just I have no energy

Its difficult for me to reply to your comments without getting personal. However, it's not the fact that the guy was Australian but more that he spoke English. My 10 minutes chat with him was the only English conversation I'd had since our New Year's party which was coincidentally with another Aussie. I am the only foreigner for miles and just to sit down with others for an hour or so would be a real treat even without alcohol. Incidentally, I've met and chatted with more Aussies in my 3 years in this area than any other nationality and they've all been fine. Unfortunately, the two guys I got to know best are no longer around.

In my 24 years living here I've never met 2 foreigners who live the same so my motto is best to live and let live.

I understand, and feel empathy for you .

Do you watch " Ricky in Isaan "on YouTube he is also looking for people up that way to talk to.

I think living in Isaan can be a lonely life if you only have Thais for company talking broken english etc .

Sometimes you need a english farang to talk to ,if I was near you I would meet you so we can look at the area and explore the local hospitals, rivers etc

One thing many find weird is I love walking thru cemeteries, I love walking thru hospitals , etc 

There is a few Isaan forums you may be able to ask on

Best of luck 🤞

Are you an "academic"? I thought you washed hospital floors for a living?

 

Most academics would be perfectly capable of googling "domestic abuse in Thailand" and getting all the facts and figures that they could possibly dream of.

Presently I'm busy the last few days as I have been on sick leave from work and catching up on E books by SIPI on here 

The Psychometrics of air and another brilliant one the Psychometrics of Soil 

I had no idea that garden soil is a living creature with many things "happening" under the ground ,it's like another World 

I could go on for hours but won't 

There are far more interesting things to do than chat to these drunken Aussies

This year I plan a 2 month holiday in Isaan where I will read "The Psychometrics of Air " and the Psychology & Psychometric of toxicology "

I would rather sit and read by myself than chat to someone

I'm not a white knight,as if that exists. I would defend any woman who was being abused by a man with discretion in place, man armed, women armed etc. If I hit my ex who was coming at me with a knife I wouldn't go to jail. Self defense is self defense anywhere, but avoiding an attack is very easy if they aren't carrying a gun. If someone tries to hit you, you are legally allowed to defend yourself, meaning blocks, avoiding the hit or walking away. If they keep coming, you restrain if it's a woman. If they are stronger than you, as some women are to some men, you defend yourself any way you can. I'm not saying it's wrong to defend and black, push away etc. I'm saying if you have any chance to get away, you go, and hitting some woman who's easily avoided is wrong, as is hitting them because you are mad.

Unfortunately your stuck in the old ways ,woke people would call you "sexist " even the ones who identifies as women.

They the ones who identifies as "women" want to be treated the same ,

you going by your post are not treating them the same .

Women men transexual etc etc must be treated equally 

You would defend any woman being abused by a man ?, what if they are transexual? 

Times have changed, 

A few months ago I saw what look like British young couple arguing the guy slapping her I walked around them and kept walking !

Don't get me involved in that !!!

'm just like other farangs who beat their wives. They all respect me and think she's nuts. If you hit a woman, you're not a man

Who says we all identify as a "man" ?

I am currently reading a brilliant book which was given to me by SIPI a poster on here "The Psychometrics of Air "

I have today on a medical admission form identified myself as something else I won't mention

Women are NO different to someone who identifies as a "man" especially the the ones in this day & age 

I REFUSE in my job as a hospital cleaner to carry buckets or anything else for someone who identifies as a woman !!!

He is not trolling you , only pointing out there should be no different in man or woman nowadays

Times have changed ,women want to be men ,men want to be women , and we have in between 

I would also hazard a guess the best business are market stalls 

Or street food , I would love to sell street food .

Yes. I should have jumped a homeless druggie  and beat his azz. Yep, I would have been a really tough guy.

 

Meanwhile on the streets of Thailand you probably walked with your head down and wai every time a car tried to run you over so you could buy yourself another day in sex paradise.

You sound like someone who has no street life  experience or experience with these kind of people with mental illness and drug addiction.

 Not your fault you lived a sheltered life 

Unfortunately many Aussies even in country towns (Alice Springs ) go through this experience weekly so nothing traumatic to Australian people, it's getting used to it which you aren't .

With respect to you ,your a weak man who has lived a sheltered life ( not your fault )

who was traumatised by a guy with mental illness following you and shouting abuse until a guy in a security uniform got involved probably because he seen your fear

even dumber post

You sound like a weak man.

A guy with mental illness abuses you in the street 

A guy wearing a security uniform for some unknown reason gets involved and says to the guy with mental illness ,"buddy come talk to me " 

And his hands in his pockets as he is talking to him.

So in other words if this guy wearing a security uniform didn't get involved you would of Shat yourself not knowing how to deal with a guy following you shouting abuse !

Meanwhile you Scared Sammy notice this and think what a good security guard to do this 

Had it been me walking behind you I would of gone around you whilst the guy was abusing you 

It proves you have no confidence in your ability as a man.

Learn from this ,your a liability!!!

Your posts seem to be a little in uneducated side to be honest. Starting with you never see domestic violence in SE Asia which is truly a laughable observation. 

 

Security in the west is trained not to use physical violence. The other day I walked with my Thai wife here in Canada. Some mental case started following us and hurling obscenities. A rather young security guy saw this and instead of jumping him he simply said come talk to me. The druggie continued "talking to him" while the young security guy just stood there taking the abuse with his hand in the pocket. 

 

I thought it was a rather noble way of handling the situation.

Nothing to do with the situation I'm talking about.

But as that incident seems to have disturbed you enough to remember it.

And the psychology behind that is you are not used to it , if you are abused by  street drug addicts/ mental illness  every few days as I am it becomes the "norm" , 

I encourage you to walk in the late hours around that area rather than use "avoidance" but you won't 

Of  course you will blame that Canadian city when in reality you could walk in Sydney Australia and get the same thing in the early hours

, 

You will continue to have that PTSD with that incident,there is no evidence he was of any harm to you ,just shouting abuse , it's you wernt used to that situation , you must get used to it and continue to walk to confront your fears !!!.

You thought it was noble because he saved your ass , what if he didn't get involved, you need to "man up " and handle situations like this yourself 

if you can't fight then keep walking , it shows your weakness in confronting these situations, learn Krav Maga or boxing !!

Yesterday I met an Aussie guy in Phanom Phrai who told me that a few expats meet up for a beer on Friday evenings ''near the river". Just follow your nose for about 3 km and it's there maybe near a market -- he said? Anyhoo, me and the wife drove down there and couldn't find anywhere so if any member can give me directions I'd like to take a run down there on Friday just for a chat.

 

Thanks

I'm not trying to be a party pooper so don't think I am ,but....what is so special about this Aussie guy you need to sit with him & drink alcohol?

Of course I avoid people like this , as soon as they want to turn a park by a river in Thailand to another alcohol Induced park I'm out of there 

Aussies are trouble and I should know I'm one

Striking a man is ok though.

Laccesitt with respect to him is in the old school when times were different

Nowadays girls are not ladies anymore

And I watched a night club security person being slapped by a drunk female and couldn't do anything as other patrons were telling him not to hit women so she kept slapping his face
