  1. Honk your horn and get shot. A lesson for all farangs in Thailand.
  2. Here all the links that prove that having children will make you unhappy. https://healthland.time.com/2011/04/1... https://www.theatlantic.com/health/ar... https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases... https://edition.cnn.com/2016/07/08/he... https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the... https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandst... https://psychcentral.com/lib/3-relati... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfou... https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-45732371 https://www.todaysparent.com/family/p... https://www.todaysparent.com/family/p... https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/bl... https://www.theatlantic.com/family/ar... https://fortune.com/2016/05/09/mother... https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opini... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar... https://www.privateschoolreview.com/t... https://www.valuepenguin.com/student-... https://www.theguardian.com/society/2... https://www.cdc.gov/transportationsaf... https://www.goodto.com/family/ways-ki...
  3. Sounds like asbestos. Have you been near any ceiling tiles in during life time?
  4. Start jogging 20km a day. That will cure it!
  5. What about the Thai guys attacking the other British guys in the group will they be charged too?
  6. India and Nepal are worse for stray dogs and people routinely die from rabies caused by bites. Even after they have received the treatment vaccine. https://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/health/rabies-deaths-in-kerala-despite-vaccinations-raises-concerns-84895
  7. Maybe for Thailand, i have seen a few news doing well in India.
  8. On different note, imagine if you invested in booking com and agoda 10 and 20 years ago. This company just prints money, it is like owning a 15% piece of 80% of hotels and guesthouses on the planet! Probably still a good investment today but a bit expensive right now. Also i see a lot of competition around and people like me who refuse to book in advance.
  9. There are people all over the world in jail simply because they disagree with the government. It is wrong in it self.
  10. I never book in advance. I find their listings and reviews to be dubious and misleading. I stake out some guesthouse that i am interested in before i arrive and then check out a few by foot until i decided. Always cheaper and better.
  11. If you can afford i would build a 3 or 4 story building with a separate studio apartment on each floor, 1 bedroom, kitchen, living area. Easy to rent to locals or tourists. You could live in one unit. Also check out:
  12. Well if you want to spend $2000 on a flight home instead of an extra $100 and some unfriendly embassy staff that is up to you.
  13. Normal processing time is 20 business days. Emergency would be faster and cost more. There is also a 24 hour phone number to call.
  14. Better to build a double roof. The second roof will act as shade for the first one. You have to be careful will insulation in hot climate can easily turn into a mold factory. https://architropics.com/double-roof-for-cooler-house/
  15. Excellent day today in Pokhara, quite cool last night, yesterday was a big rain and wind that clear out the valley.
  16. Rare earth magnets would have been better.
  17. "Almost 50% of the general population in Thailand will die with at least traces of asbestos in their lungs, based on one recent study. Asbestos fibers were discovered in the lungs of 48.5% of those who were part of a one-year, post-mortem analysis done by the Department of Pathology at Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University in Bangkok. The toxic mineral was found during 97 of the 200 autopsies that were performed at the hospital without regard to occupation, age, sex or cause of death." I am guessing the OP is Australian, worked with asbestos in the past, might have smoked, in his 70's.
  18. 'According to the study, Thailand has used an estimated 60,000 to 180,000 metric tons of asbestos annually through the past 30 years. " I would think this type of cancer is quite common. Perhaps misdiagnosed.
  19. 1. Smog 2. Too hot 3. Difficult visa system 4. lack of English spoken 5. dual pricing for medical 6. xenophobia, unfriendly 7. unstable political 8. rip offs, cheating, difficult legal system 9. can't own land, no rights 10. draconian legal system
