Why do you think there were so many dead animals on your drive, as described above? 

There was wombats, kangaroos all dead on the side of the roads ,it was a shocking site 

Trucks ,etc have killed them.

I was glad to get back to the city 🌆🌇 Absolutely scary out there with trees everywhere

I also stay away from Bangkok and any other large city. I prefer to live out in the country, in the mountains where there are only small villages. Three are a few katoeys here, but they are not aggressive or troublesome. 

I'm not sure in Thailand but rural areas are high crime in Australia and I think the Philippines 

I'm a City boy, I once drove in the country area in Australia and was petrified of the trees and grass not to mention wild animals kangaroos etc laying dead

I know this may sound a bit weird ,but I get the bus frequently to work.

I was sitting at a bus stop next to a weird middle aged guy who was talking to himself.

A bus came in ,he got up spoke to the driver and found it wasn't his bus 

As the bus was pulling out to leave he noticed 2 elderly ladies staring and laughing at him from the bus window .

All of a sudden without any warning he pulled down his pants and flashed his erect penis at them.

And shouted "Get a load of this ladies !!!!

I looked up to the bus window to see the old ladies that were laughing at him now in a state of shock😮😮

!I'm not saying do that 

If you could just sorry to me Nick ,that's all I ask

Unfortunately, there are too many examples where innocent people have been executed. Perhaps the leading example is Timothy Evans in the UK. The real murderer, Christie, was the leading witness in Evans's trial.

 

I agree with the death penalty only if the evidence is overwhelming and incontrovertible, with a unanimous jury verdict.

 

Proponents for the death penalty should read John Grisham's only non-fiction book, " An Innocent Man".

 

Officers of the law who perpetrated that injustice with fabricated confessions had their careers left unscathed.

Yes he was my mother's cousin

The death penalty is not punishment. It's release. The criminal might not like the idea of dying, but once it's over, it's finished and the criminal no longer pays for his crime. He doesn't even know about it.

Instead, let the convicted felons do hard time. Rock piles, shoveling gravel from morning till night. Or civil construction work, stoop labor, chain-gang work.
No TV, no movies, no music. Nothing but three meals a day and hard labor.

That's punishment.

Oh your a absolutely sadist 

How dare you 

Rehabilitation, counselling, re-education,not sadistic punishment

I go to him too Dr Olivier  , you need to be checked immediately, please don’t fool around, I heard there’s pain in Upper abdominal region , I think that goes for Thyroid also , it’s very hard to diagnose in early stage , but if they find it , you can Live a long Life,  But it’s very hard to detect , Good Luck  and keep us updated Please 

Yes thankyou 

Yes now I come to think of it I think there is pain in the upper abdominal area 

How long do I need to have this before a doctor takes it seriously!!!!!

If it’s not caught early and they never do catch it early Deadly 

This is why I need an immediate Endoscopy!

I have been getting reflux the last few weeks ,the doctor saying take Nexium tablets 

I need immediate Endoscopy,but the doctor says he won't give me a referral ,says he believes nothing is wrong with me and if I want to go another doctor!

I went for a throat check earlier this year at a hospital they put a camera in my nose to my throat found nothing they said 

I also got a ultrasound of liver kidneys 

I believe it may be something in my pancreas 

I may have to wait until I get back to Thailand to see Dr Olivier ,that's if I last that long 

I will get a full health check including heart etc

Thanks for asking this question 

I have a lot of experience with GP's in Pattaya and have seen most of them including the Thai doctors 

Dr Olivier is the best in my opinion 

He has  given me numerous tests and blood tests 

On my last visit he remembered me !😂

As he called my name "George !

He was stunned as I walked up and said "it's you again ! 

I will be going back to see him next month

As one and only test it's not enough.

See a gastro-enterologist. 

I saw a gastro earlier this year for my colonoscopy 

He couldn't find any problem including the ultrasound of my liver and kidneys that I got done and put the kidney pain down to my gym training 

I have been getting reflux lately, someone privately messaged me to say this could be due to the pancreas ????

My doctor says I don't need a endoscopy and said the blood tests are normal ?

He tells me keep taking the Nexium tablets  !! 

Why should I ?

The doctor had been very nasty to me lately telling me no more blood tests until 3 months has passed and not to come every week 

Strange these people ,they are not trained to get diseases before it happens,they seem to want to wait...wait until something happens.

I will find another doctor again it seems and can't wait until I get back to Thailand to get the Full health check

You don't mention if you have health insurance that can be used in Thailand.  My go to hospital is Bumrungrad in Bangkok which is at the higher end of costs.  I live in Pattaya, but I have a trust issue with some of the hospitals in Pattaya which is off topic.  I consider the extra expense (transportation and hotel) is well worth it.  My insurance will pay (100%) for a "comprehensive physical".  I believe this will cover all the tests you describe with the exception of artery exam and the colonoscopy. if you do decide to do a colonoscopy at Bumrungrad I recommend Dr. Charkaphan Osangthamnont.  Good luck  

I had a colonoscopy already in April it was clear 

I need to go for a endoscopy because my reflux but my Australian doctor is getting sick of me he told me 

So I will wait until I go back to Thailand soon to see Dr Olivier

The best thing you can do is go on threadmil, set the speed to 7 and let us know how you feel after 5 minutes.

I'm on the treadmill everyday in the gym 

I stay in for 30 minutes 

Is that meaning my heart is good?

I have had EKG and echocardiography nothing found except mild pericarditis 

But I believe I could have something so I need to check more

Instead let's spend the money for unneeded walls on bolstering the legal and enforcement systems.  Duh!

I'm not sure if your serious , I hope not 

Sounds like you expect people to go out to work when a wall could the job? +(Which is tragic)

Work life balance is the new era ,why work when it's not needed

I meant a topic on here. Posters would be welcome to add such like good things to it.

 

Meanwhile people continue to burn vast areas of rain forest for greed. Funny old world we live in- on the one hand saving a bird from extinction and on the other destroying species as fast as they can light fires.

I wonder the hypocrisy too

We have Green Socialist politicians in power in Australia and NZ who say they want to save the planet and rainforests yet campaign for increased immigration where we have to build more houses and apartments, doesn't make sense 🙄

You may have to think about changing the way you feel about sensitive subjects such as this , people may get offended

Just go to Bumrungrad and tell them to test your heart thoroughly.

And when you think it's all done, then the final test comes when you see their invoice. 😉 

Thankyou !😂

Before anyone goes on about speak to your doctor I have spoken to my doctor (in Australia ) and I won't mention his pathetic attitude and not taking my illness'seriously 

What I need when I go to Thailand next month is a real type  heart test 

Now this year  I have echocardiography,EKG and blood tests (Triptonin) but I need a test that can check out my heart it may be called a CT scan?

I have also had a liver ultrasound and body ultrasound and kidney check and colonoscopy 

I want my arteries checked to see if any blockages ,would that be a CT scan?

I don't want that angio gram where they put tubes in 

I have been getting slight dull pain in the left upper chest ,I'm sure it's a heart related

Quite honestly, I have been laughing at the world for at least 5 years. It is a major form of entertainment to me to see how the western world is collapsing on itself and I also get a great amount of mirth from reading the comments here from those that try to pass themselves off as worldly and knowledgeable. of course I also get great joy trying to pass my self off as worldly and knowledgeable as well

Please don't flatter yaself ...some people maybe offended by it 

There is no one now coming second or third anymore
