Visited there many times from St. Croix. USVI-Everyone has a Gun, and it is like the Wild West. I will never go back-Too Dangerous.

You have to drive very defensively when in a vehicle in Thailand. If you want to not live very long jump on a Motor bike, if you do not agree go to the nearest hospital and checkout the motorcycle accidents statistics. "Happy Travels and Be Safe!"

The USA has been looking for remote forward bases to deploy-Reopen U-Tapao and let the USA use it for the purchase of two F-35's.

Thank you for the info. I thought I had a UTI and was on drugs for it from a Thai GP and my bladder hurt worsen with pain and a burning sensation several weeks back. On a trip to visit friends three weeks ago, I finally went into Bangkok Hospital, Sanamchan, Nakhon-Pathorn and saw a Urologist Where they did a urinalysis, blood test/ultrasound. Found I was not voiding all my urine. I am now on Urief (4mg) twice a day (Solaray Zinc/Now Prostate support) and that seems to be working. Total cost was 6,401 baht at the Bangkok Hospital with 10-day supply of Urief. I will be leaving in March next year for the USA and get a second opinion on what is next. I have already sent my medical records to the VA in Orlando, FL for their review (Not sure I will use them for any procedure like Rezum, etc.) of which due to the holidays I am sure I will not get an answer from my Doctor quick enough. Thanks again.

A friend of mine just passed here in Ubon and his wife has asked me to carry his remains back to the USA. I am planning on leaving in March 2023 and will check with the Airlines ANA and United Airlines. My route of flight will be ANA to Narita (NRT), United Airlines to San Fran (SFO) direct to Orlando (MCO). Wondering if anyone has done this and can tell me of their hiccups or problems on the way to the USA. Will hand carry, not check baggage. Thank you in Advance.

As a Retired Military/Civilian Pilot-The first thing when we as Pilot's do is check the weather before launching to make sure it's "SAFE." I'm sure it is the same for Captains of ships especially in the military. This blame falls on the ship's Captain. He should have not been there unless it was an emergency!

"PRETTY STUPIT!!"

For several years as I travel to Bangkok from Ubon on highway 24 I have learned to slowdown when approaching "Prasat!" There is always a speed trap there where everyone is paying. After coming back here to Thailand after six months in the USA this year, traveling via 24 yesterday, I slowed down 90 K's prior to Prasat. I usually speed up to around 110 (About 70 MPH in the USA) in very rural areas on the highway and of course slow down as I enter any city on the way. However, this time as I approached Prasat at 12 kilometers prior my Uniden R3 Extreme Long-Range Laser/Radar Detector made an extreme alarm after making a turn, luckily I was at the right speed as I went thru the check point. What is new on the other side of Prasat about 12 or so kilometers after the Prasat Police had setup another check point and were grabbing more speeder thinking they were free to speedup since they had just past the last one. Food for thought-Please pay attention when getting close to "Prasat" when driving on highway 24. "Happy Travels"

Here come the Russian Draftee's that do not want to be "DRAFTED!"

The Ole CFO will be the new CEO from a Bankrupt Thai Int'l. Airline-LOL more of the "SAME!"

Reenactment next!

"NO"

"My place to RELAX" and rest/reflect is Koh Chang (Elephant Island) in Thailand. Each to his own, I hope you find the right place for "YOU!" Good Luck.

Buy more Submarines (With no Engines), Chinese Tanks, and only two or three F-35's-That should "Help!"

If you bought the Condo-Call the Police, if you are renting-"MOVE."

It's going to be a "COLD WINTER FOR ALL!"

I have been in and out of Thailand since the 80's-Living in BKK in 1987 through 1990-That's when it was very nice. Finally settled down and built a house North of UBON. which is my family's piece of Paradise. Just my opinion-Good Luck on yours.

I would not buy a Chevy due to spare parts might be an issue-Good Luck.

Try Ubon, You might like it.

All the ole Eastern Blocked Nations as well, Russian Mother-in-law tried to get into Warsaw, Poland for an appointment with the US Embassy there and was denied.

"OMG"-A real painful feeling of humiliation, distress caused by the consciousness of wrong and disgusting foolish behavior. Glad, Lucky and "BLESSED" that as an adult I made the right decisions in life. I love traveling between the USA and Thailand, spending 6 months a year in each place. Got the "BEST" of two worlds. However, I will have to admit that the USA is in decline by our Political Leadership with the Lawlessness and no accountability. Been thinking the last several years of a permanent move to Thailand if it gets worse especially if their is no change in our Government in 2022/2024. Thank God I live in Florida. Good Luck to you all USA Expats.
