  1. we had some business here for many years..... but not anymore. actually like our house , but yes. the bad air forcing me out . Like to be outside .......... so going down to coastal area somewhere .
  2. I have heard from another guy living here that there was someone ..... sounds like Paul .... so i will contact him . also, you are right..... not fun playing realtor , but in my experience "good ones" are not..... good . 🙂 even one that comes "recommended" sometimes can be a big disappointment .
  3. good idea to tell and show everyone . you never know , and actually i only got one buyer from a facebook posting .
  4. After a hundred years ( slight exageration ) living around CMai I also am selling . I have sold some properties before , using online forums or word of mouth . My ONE agent experience was NOT a good one , very little done but they did have a three page contract i had to sign. I stopped that at expiration date ! Facebook forums would be ok BUT agents are posting continuously their stuff. By day 2 your listing will be on page 20 . And yes, agents will call you . Still, worth posting on various groups . Anyone interested in a 2 1/2 year old strong house , about 110 sq mt on 178 dw of land in same general area as Luang Neua ..... Doisaket .... can PM me .( price around 3.5 m) I also have experience (buying and selling about 6 properties over time ) and can answer some questions regarding usual things one might encounter in sales/ buying . (NOT ADVICE ... just my experiences ! )
  5. Interesting that this "procedure" hasn't seemed to change over the years . It was twenty odd years ago when i rounded up two neighbors i barely knew ( can you help, i need two witnesses to go to the Amphur with me to vouch that i live here) . they were a little hesitant, but off we went in my car and all was done with no problem . I lived in that location and was friendly with them for a long time ( some gift baskets at Christmas once in a while ) . that yellow book, which some on here think has "no use" ...... saved me the hassle of dealing with immig. asking for the proof of address each time i renewed my drivers license . And, once or twice at other times .........
  6. always all this bickering, bickering, bickering . and the results are in !! not one of the stuck to their computer warriors has yet to change their stance or source that they believe gives the TRUE facts . ah..... but go ahead boys . the high school bell never rings here on our favorite lunch room
  7. and.......... big, big corporations and tech monopolies
  8. yessir . when confinements and strong mandates put many humans on a downward spiral , it was for others the dream they had always ( well, since early fantasies of fame and power ) hoped for. Locked in prisoners with nothing to do but cruise the forums looking for a creative outlet for their meaningless existence . ooooops , a bit harsh there Rumie . And so . the explosion of online shopping and home delivery gave a certain group of closet warriors the greatest gift of all . Freedom ! That's right , the freedom to not have to compete in the real games of life , where honor and respect are gained by deeds performed with one's unique set of abilities and dangjai ( nah, don't learn thai . pfffttt ) . "rumak, what you goin on about ? mate . " ........ "sorry, what was the topic again ? .... these CM pm2's are doin a number on me "
  9. I am absolutely thrilled to have two of the greatest forums , not just in Thailand but worldwide ! ... joining forces, mods holding hands and doing sacred rituals to enhance their powers of perception of good and evil ( posts ) . Seriously , for an old, bitter man like myself......prone to outbursts of" NOT SO ! RED BULL ! " and other tin hat theories that have no place in a free world .... This will be a blessing . No longer will i need to put energy into two different media legends to receive that vaunted vacation to solitude island . NO sir . Now, just one "misinformation" required to be given a firm reminder . NOTE: To start off the new "union" ...... all members shall be required to undergo a .....uh..... little quiz ( for placement purposes only) . All will be given this Rumak post to read and then answer a simple question : Was it a. inspiring and honest b. typical far rght Trump hogwash c. slightly tongue=in=cheek d. duh ( emoji, emoji ) disclaimer: i have yet to peruse the new rules and guidelines , but i am sure they will be just as fair and impartial as they have always been . Viva la union ! Onward thru the fog..... and may all hold their members high in the glory of a new chapter for mankind.
  10. Nightime dribble, dribble ( and i am not playing basketball ! ) Don't want to take meds ( though i am sure many of you will comment) . would like some stinging nettle USER REVIEWS 🙂
  11. Exactly the same amounts that I give to my wife . I wonder why I don't get the same terrific response ??😇
  12. You have pretty well described the exact procedure (s) I go through . Youtube has plenty ( too much really) of ideas, but i'm sure you have a few favorites to check out when needed. I always get a kick out of the overweight housewife in her dining room trying to show the correct way to fix a herniated disk.... or some such thing ! Very importantly , in my case and i think many other "seniors" . is establishing which body functions are not producing what they did at early and mid life. For example , why vit D supplementation, and magnesium, and collagen etc are so important as our body produces less as time goes by . ( of course, this is a simplification of a .imo, vital if not foremost reason for our bodies degeneration ( hope i die before i get old 55 ..... well, that didn't happen so i guess even some ageing rockers are now going "healthy" . As you wisely state ..... DISCIPLINE is the key . And it seems that key seems to have been lost many moons ago for the comfort seeking homosapien race . Just give em a bag of fritos and one of those hypnotic devices glued onto everyones hand . btw: what is your age ? i will be 74 in a few months . ( i don't believe it !!! )
  13. Did the BKK doc give you instructions and time needed to get healed before playing football ? Do you find fault with any of the consultations/recommendations which you feel contributed to your worsening condition?
  14. i believe you are one of a small number of poeple that try to find the source of the knee ( and other) problems , and then work at finding what works best to alleviate the pain and regain normality , as much as possible for your condition. The average "expert" , no matter what credentials they flash, do not lead me to blindly following their "this is what it is, and this is what you must do" . Note: i have remained quite healthy , with many challenges to tackle, IN SPITE of receiving many varied suggested regimens . Mostly R and P . ( rest and pills !) Anything resembling getting to the root problem has mostly been ignored or misdiagnosed. ( and i have been to numerous "orthopedics" in the CM area over the years) . The average "consultation" almost always gets a cursory movement of the troubled area, a quick analysis starting with " i think you have ......" , followed by trying to sell me 3 packages of colored pills ( always paracetomin among them ! ), and of course some latest anti-inflamatory drug . "come back if you don't get better " .... Of course, now that i am older .... the standard remark is that we all age and have these "arthritic type pains ) . What they don't know or say is that there are many, many types of arthritis ... and in the case of the knee... a ton of factors that could be involved : https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases--conditions/common-knee-injuries Since i look in very good shape, and have strength in my leg ( relative to other old farts) ...... they basically give me a thumbs up and say " take alleve, be careful with diclofenac ( does work for me, but not good for the body ) . blah blah blah times up. Sure could use a basketball players orthopedist to tell me what the real cause is .. maybe i will start a Go Fund me hahaha ligaments, bones, meniscus, deterioration, tendons . How to figure out the inner workings as time wears the body down . Diet, exercise, suplements, stretches, and lets not forget standing on our heads and rubbing crystals. and, a bit of laughter never hurts either..... btw: i walk a bit, stretch a bit, stationary bike a bit , take magnesium and boron, and collagen ...... don't eat crap , .... doing the best i can 🙂
  15. Oh, you are so right ! I also encourage people to get an accurate diagnosis , and encourage people to use their own critical thinking abilities in the process. Are you taking colagen or any supplements to maintain your own health ?
  16. what was your age at the time of injury ? SO MUCH depends on the age and type of injury . I am just having knee "issues" now ...... at 73 . In good health, not overweight, exercise ( nothing heavy anymore) , but lo and behold the knee started hurting. Has gotten better (somewhat) with some rest and very light stretching. good diet. Now i have added COLAGEN ..... which IMO now, i should have taken for a number of years. The body produces less and less with age ...especially after 40 ! Ligaments and muscles require more protein than when young to keep everything from going downhill . So..... I am about 4 months in ( 2 on collagen) and notice a difference. Whether the knee(S) will completely heal remains to be seen. But definitely not hurting as much as 4 months ago. I am now doing light strengthening , stationary bike best for me . I will try to keep improving .... before heading for an operation. All our situations are "unique" ..... and hearing others situations can help with comparisons on how to fix, going forward https://thenutritioninsider.com/wellness/bovine-collagen/
  17. i waited a few minutes.... to get over my initial response : "Supply and Demand " . That is ALWAYS the case ... but the seller only has to find ONE buyer . From my experience local real estate agencies offer very little ( and can be a pain in the butt) . Also you will save a huge commision by finding a buyer yourself ( or offering less than the companies usual 3 % ) . Get everything in writing ! So.... i would get a for sale sign made in English ... and CHINESE . Use red color 55 Hang it on your gate if allowed. And why not hand some fliers to the Chinese you have noticed in your and other close by moobahns ?? I was never shy about telling people ..... and sold one property to a friend of a tenant i had . Also another where my neighbor knew someone ( and wanted, and got, a commission) .
  18. Q :"eat rice... or not yet ? " A: "eat already" simple !
  19. translation : 55555 for non thai speakers : huhhhhh?
  20. pretty well sums it up . I also have noticed that the non thai speakers either are being led around like a buffalo with a rope in their nose by their "lover" .............. or barking out demands in English .
  21. i already ordered a Latex topper ..... dunlopillo brand .... from Lazada 3" one of the pricier ones on market a bit under 5000 baht
