Knew it wouldn't take long for the powers that be to turn this into some sort of a scam..

is there anything that these people don't monetize? 

they will be charging me to take a dump on my own bog next! 

Corruption everywhere, see many here. Simply beats me how Falangs, from a Western culture that just 12 years ago damned near put the entire world into financial failure, can complain about a cop with his hand out.

Face it, when it comes to major greed, Thais are amateurs.

While I am extremely distrusting of ANY politician, ANYWHERE, I am even more distrusting of my fellow human beings; e.g. Face masks everywhere despite well-publicized fact that they serve no anti-viral protection. e.g. TV comment strings that theorize, diagnose, interpret, invent and pontificate and announce brain farts that overwhelmingly feed public misconceptions and panic.

He didn't have to actually denounce his American citizenship. One can only assume that he has been indoctrinated much like most of the Thai's I know. Scary. ????

 

comments like yours make ME wanna belch and ram a rag down YOUR throat, much like too many of the indoctrinated ignoramus parrots I know hang out here.

 I spend Cdn winters her and have been somewhat embarrassed and critical in the past about the rather negative, sometimes poisonous attitude by many of my fellow Falang regulars on this site, as well as the negativity about Thailand by others I've met in person over the years..

Nothing I've ever run across before has made me reconsider more my response and very possibly change my future winter destination, than this announcement.

Dr. Ponsak is the specialist in this area and speaks very good English but his receptionist does not. He has/h a clinic in The Rimkock area and tel number is 085 034 9388 but he's closed today, this evening anyway. Best way to find him, Google Maps, Dr Ponsak Urology Clinic Chiang Rai. He's also at the Sriburin Hospital most days.

The private hospitals like The Overbrook and Kasemdad Sribunin have English speaking staff and doctors.

thanks

A no-sleep week trapped w/in 5 min. of my toidy has me on the lookout for a clinic with an English speaking doctor. Secondary would be any advice on how to cure urination urges every 10 minutes that repeatedly fail after 10 minute attempts to wiz razor blades.

People who are dead won't commit any crimes anymore. And they don't cost the tax payers any money to keep them alive, maybe for decades, in prison.

Obviously the death penalty should only be applied in cases without any doubt. This seems to be one of those cases.

I know that in the USA some people are sentenced to death with only circumstantial evidence. In my opinion that should not happen.

Obviously the death penalty should only be applied in cases without any doubt.......that should not happen

Brilliant......

As for saving taxpayer money, how much is a wrongly executed human being worth....I mean...someone in YOUR family?

There is a reason for the death penalty.

The fact that it has been clearly and repeatedly demonstrated not to be a deterrent, you dismiss?

I would also assume you dismiss as irrelevant the many who have been wrongfully executed for crimes they did not commit?

Suggest a relocation to that bastion of Western Christian morality, the U.S. where gunshot surviving school kids can die on hospital steps for lack of cash

I use a Thai Massage facility, never been offered nor do I want happy endings. Genuine Thai massage from a trained therapist is great.

An adult, un-misdirected, untwisted comment. How unusual. Be prepared for a string of confused emoji at best, or endless nasty interp of your "Genuine Thai" as usual.

Not only Pattaya unprepared, hearing about the stoppage of giving plastic bags, i goT myself a large bag.

Just fits in the basket on my scooter, just been to big C,got to the checkout, security bloke who always helps me, put my basket on the belt.

I gave him my large bag, saying please fill it put it in my basket.

Brain dead girl cashier insisted in putting my groceries in plastic bags, then past them to the security guy, who then put them in my Big bag...... DOH.

From Canada here, WESTERN land of pristine forests, lakes and rivers, educated, sophisticated, informed, responsible AND EVER-SO-CAUCASIAN citizenry, where 95% pay extra for disposable, store-provided plastic bags to carry their Chiclets home from the supermarket instead of bringing their own bag.

hope the Canadians don't eventually realise that they were simply just more 'convenient' to her, than the Aussies! That she wanted Australia, and Canada was a lesser choice...

Choosing a country only to avoid execution, how unpatriotically, unheroically shallow!!!

Absolutely, bloody pathetic! All that money spent on kit, Generals galore, the brave defenders of the nation, and the best they can do is a 1951 vintage M41 "Walker Bulldog"!

I despair - a 60 year old panzer!

Billions in nukes, ICBMs, stealth bombers and an invasion or two of neighbors would be more impressive for you?

I have not seen Bulk anything in stores here. Perhaps a street market?

thanks, appreciate the good advice, tho i've tried some big street markets and no luck so far. Had some luck tho with shredded coconut at the Chiang Rai street market, and will try to dry it myself.

I think you need to learn some manners.

 

 

Have you tried Googling " buy bulk soy milk powder in Thailand "  ?

 

 

Or do you expect TV members to do your work for you ?

On manners: You mean like visiting/moving to a country and then trashing it at every opportunity like many TV members??

On Googling: Tried it already.

On TV doing my work: Guess if I trashed Thailand, lots here would pitch in by supportive responding.

Do I need to insult, demean or criticise Thailand or Thais to get some attention/ response to my questions on these strings??
