  1. Great-I post two comments and get "Censored" with removal without any explanation-Thank You!!
  2. Looking for a Doctor trained in long-term GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) in the Bangkok area. Appreciate any recommendations-Thank you.
  3. I have used it many times as I travel back and forth from the USA. However, there are some people that are not over the age of 70 that seem to abuse this privilege for us older folks. Friendly, Yes and quicker.
  4. Biden-Three horrific years resulting from a fraudulent, fake presidency. Open Borders, Tens of millions of illegals, Destruction of major cities, Inflation, Corruption, Wars, Debt, a weaponized DOJ, national division & targeting of your political enemies."
  5. My plan from the USA is to stay less than 180 days to avoid all-"Good Luck!!
  6. There are many Russians in Pattaya/Phuket for example, setting up businesses to accommodate Russian Expats and tourists. Naturally they, like most other small immigrant community's around the world wants a reputation of "Mafia" to protect themselves from local thugs. Russians, they are just like anyone else. When it comes to setting up in foreign country like the Chinese have done all around the world, just as Italians, Lebanese, etc. it is an advantage to have a reputation that people should not meddle in your business. And yea...some Russians probably sell steroids, run online scams or whatever to support themselves here just as many Europeans do.
  7. It's very sad to see all this in the USA. My favorite city was San Fran (SFO) not anymore, too much crime!! Their is a major exodus evolving out of these Dem run cities that needs a leadership change. What I believe we a watching is a sizeable "Left Wing Assault" and legal decline in the USA. Just Saying.
  8. I personally do not see lower airline costs from the USA to BKK. It would be nice for an American carrier like United Airlines to reopen their route from NRT to BKK and make money do to the high costs that Asian carriers are charging. Just saying.
  9. Looking for a surgeon, an ophthalmologist trained in retina surgery in the Bangkok area. Appreciate any recommendations-Thank you.
  10. I've been using Valvoline Maxlife 10w-40 for my Toyota truck for the last 5 years with oil changes every year and a 1042 BOSCH Filter that I buy off of Lazada-Happy travels and Good Luck.
  11. Experts said last month that, on average, 5,500 motorcyclists die annually – or 15 deaths a day, making Thailand the world’s deadliest country for two-wheelers. “If you take motorcycles out of the equation, Thailand’s roads will be as safe as (those in) Switzerland, the United States and Britain,” Dr Liviu Vedrasco, health cluster chief at the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Bangkok, told The Sunday Times. In a 2015 report, WHO said there were 26.3 motorcycle-related deaths for every 100,000 people in Thailand, the highest in the world. Motorcycles are a common mode of transport for Thais. Last year, they bought 1.74 million motorcycles compared with only 768,788 cars, according to the Thai Automotive Industry Association. In the first quarter of this year, 461,783 motorcycles were sold. CSIP director Adisak Plitpolkarnpim said the practice of allowing children to ride motorbikes is prevalent, especially in provinces. “Children ride them to school, for fun, or to run errands for their parents,” he said. Under Thai law, those who are 15 years old can get a driver’s licence for vehicles with engines less than 110cc, but Plitpolkarnpim said this is widely violated. Plitpolkarnpim said about 15,800 children get into motorcycle-related accidents annually, resulting in an estimated 700 deaths. Reducing these numbers will take more than a road safety video. The Asia Injury Prevention Foundation (AIPF) starts them young through the Street Wise Programme, which teaches schoolchildren the importance of wearing helmets. Thailand’s helmet law is not strictly enforced, especially in provinces and among pillion riders. AIPF said the government should pay attention to motorcycle riders as most motorbike deaths were due to fatal head injuries among pillion passengers. A 2013 survey showed only 19% of pillion riders wore helmets compared with 53% of riders. — The Strait Times/Asia News Network This road safety awareness video, released by Ramathibodi Hospital’s Child Safety Promotion and Injury Prevention Centre (CSIP) last year, has resonated with many in Thailand, where 73% of traffic-related deaths involve motorcycles.

  12. "WOW"-Take care my friend. Make sure you rest and take it easy after such a shocking accident. Blessings to you and your family.
  13. The United States has declined to sell its F-35 stealth fighter jets to Thailand over issues with training and technical requirements, the Southeast Asian country's air force said on Thursday. Thailand, which was designated a Major Non-NATO Ally by the United States in 2003, had last year set aside a 13.8 billion baht ($407.68 million) budget for new jets to replace its aging, mostly U.S.-made F-5 and F-16 fighters. It identified up to eight Lockheed Martin F-35A jets as its target. Maybe their were too many buys from China!
  14. Lucky and Blessed to have two homes-6 months in Orlando, FL and 6 months in Ubon. "Good Luck."
  15. Thailand is ranked as the second most dangerous country to drive in. A 2018 World Health Organization report showed that nearly 23,000 people die in traffic accidents every year in Thailand. The ease of renting motorbikes with zero experience puts travelers at a high risk. Although caution is advised, driving in Thailand is not as dangerous as it is made out to be. However, you must take special precautions when riding a motorbike or driving a car in Thailand to ensure your safety. Be Safe and Happy Travels.
  16. WOW-Imagine that all was predicted months ago on this site with the influx of Russians invading Pattaya, Koh Chang, Phuket, etc. Will their be Karma?
  17. BidenEconomics is to blame-Most American's I know here in Florida are spending 15-20 % more for food, Gas, Travel, Hotels, etc.-everything has gone up thanks to Biden. Next years election is where everyone is checking their wallet on their disposable Income and finding less. 2024 is predicted to get worse.
