Just do it online, it takes about 10 minutes.

Doctor Chopeow at Bangkok Christian was good for me. Old guy, trained in Canada. Good English. Struck me as someone who knew his onions.

I had an MRI with contrast then a Colloid cyst of the third ventricle removed by microsurgery.

As long as you can at least gesture towards the Chang and have baht in your pocket, I think farang are welcome in most bars

... even though prostitutes here cost as much as in Europe...often more.

They still cost less than in where I'm from! (England)

The richest bloke I've met here was also very modest. I found out about his wealth via a third party.

Hot water,

Only needed to make tea.

Do you make tea by tap or something??

Something something 100,000 Baht bribe.

I've experienced enough of the seamier side of parts of Thailand to feel pretty confident that they're not all suicides.

I have just finished writing a book for expat's living here and Asia Books have picked it up (my second with them). If you can wait a month or so, I recommend it. Written by an expat who has lived here for 32 years and is fluent in the language. It leaves no stone unturned and is very informative.

Living in The Kingdom: The essential Expat's guide to living in Thailand

coming soon ...........

The repetition of 'living' in title and sub-title doesn't bode well...

The only real racial bias against foreigners ive encountered here is predicated more on a perception that certain behaviours are associated with men from the middle east and india and how they interact with the girls in the bars sometimes.

Meth is a terrible drug.

Is Uber in Bangkok yet? Thats when the you know what will really hit the fan.

yep, and it works really well. Cheaper (just, but no need to tip either) than regular taxis too.

cheaper? did you read about what happened in Sydney on New year's Eve....try 5x regular cost..

Yes I did. Surge pricing is cheeky, I admit.

I'd choose the UK rozza all day every day.

Not suggesting this is your problem but worth keeping in mind. My brother in law had similar symptoms and it turned out he had a Hiatel Hernia. He did have other symptoms that you don't seem to have though. For instance, holding food down became really difficult.

No never suffer with nausea but can get very tired.

I had the same and thought it was heart problem. But always in the middle of the night. three times i had to go to A&E the pain was so bad. I was given morphine which eased it . After having the camera probe i was put on antyacid tablets one a day one hour before food. The tablets i take are provacid and when i asked how long i should take them the doc said permanently. i have had no problems for two years .pete

Same here the docs said I had gastritis. Antacids knock it dead.

I just asked in the pharmacy and they had some

Where which pharmacy,don't be shy now.

Surely only low class Thais would want to dine anywhere near soi 4?

There's another branch further up.

I lent a friend I'd met in a bar a couple of times 5,000 Baht once, because he'd left his wallet in his hotel.

He paid me back the next time I saw him.

He's now a good mate.

Not everyone is out to get you.

Weirdly some of the Thais I've met and work with are curious about trying out a meal at hooters.

It was actually where my Thai work team went for an xmas dinner (sadly I was too hungover to join them)

I suggest any Burmese working in an internet cafe to pack their bags and leave.

Bravo, sir.

I was just thinking how Anonymous may well 'magically' turn out to be Burmese.
