why always thai women pay at the cashier?
AgMech Cowboy replied to Jack1988's topic in General Topics
My wife is pretty much the same... 20-50 baht, something for the server. Not based on the price of the meal. -

Not my experience. My wife has always 'slipped' me the money to pay if I didn't have enough in my wallet. -
Recebt front tooth extraction - what next?
AgMech Cowboy replied to Card's topic in Health and Medicine
@Card You've already gone past what I would have recommended, which is to never pull the root unless you're absolutely sure a root canal cannot be done. But, now to go forward. I lost one of my upper front incisors (due to incompetence, IMHO) in 1999. Initially I tried the implant, but my bone structure in my sinus area was too thin to support one (in fact while doing the prep my dentist actually drilled into the sinus cavity above that tooth area). I've had to resort to a bridge, which I am still using since 2015. It's a zirconium oxide bridge and it has been absolutely the best decision I've ever made (and I've been through all the options). Sadly once they pull those roots your options are only 3, denture, bridge or implant. (BTW, the other front tooth broke off at the gum about a year later, which now has a root canal with posts to complete the abutment on one side of the bridge. The abutment on the other side includes one incisor and one canine. My front 2 teeth broke playing American football when I was 16 (in 1969). There was still plenty of tooth remaining to just cover with crowns. Sadly, eventually the tooth under a crown will weaken and is subject to breaking off, which mine did. I was told by 2 Endodontists that my roots were too small for them to complete the procedure, so I let him to pull the roots. I was given the same story on the second front tooth. I found an independent dentist here in Bangkok and the Endodontists in his office completed the procedure.) (Thaniya Dental Clinic, located in Thaniya Plaza Shopping Center between Silom and Surawong Rds) Good Luck with your decision. -
NATO Chief Urges UK to Boost Defence or Learn to Speak Russian
AgMech Cowboy replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Truth hurts... doesn't it. And they have prisons where it's very, very cold and isolated. I don't know who are the Russian AOC's or Congressmen Waters, but I think Russia would just open the door and let them in to inspect, then close the door before they can leave. (at least if Putin or the like is still in charge) -
Report Surin Schools Conduct Evacuation Drill Amid Border Tensions
AgMech Cowboy replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Ok... We had nuclear bomb drills in my schools in the 60's and 70's. I think what the Thai schools are doing is a good practice. -
US Tourist's Temple Graffiti Sparks Outrage in Chiang Mai
AgMech Cowboy replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
I hope they catch him before he leaves the country. I also wish Thailand had laws like Singapore and could/would put the cane to him. Caning is a very effect deterrent. -

Endoscopy and colonoscopy package - Bangkok recommendations, plz
AgMech Cowboy replied to Flow's topic in Health and Medicine
I've never been there, but a couple of my friends highly recommend Bangkok Hospital. My last one was done at Bumrungrad, but it was expensive; although, the care was 1st class. -
Cheap International Phone Calls to the U.K. Using A.I.S.
AgMech Cowboy replied to Blueman1's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Probably true. I used Viber to call Capital One earlier this month. I miss Skype. I think it was easier to use, but I'll get use to Viber. (Now if I could just get it to quit asking me after every call to invite my son or friends to the app). -
Cheap International Phone Calls to the U.K. Using A.I.S.
AgMech Cowboy replied to Blueman1's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Yes, use Viber, it'll be much, much cheaper. I am pretty sure I used '005' as a prefix, such as calling my cousin...005 001 area code and then the number. -
Crime Bomb Hoax Grounds AirAsia Plane in Phuket
AgMech Cowboy replied to Georgealbert's topic in Phuket News
That's not how they do it. If he had actually had intent to use a bomb, that 'trick' of suggesting a bomb in his bag could have been a diversion. The whole plane must be inspected. -
What did they expect would happen? Even the Muslims have said that they will change the countries from within. They flee the persecution of their former countries, but retain their strong beliefs in Islam, Mohammed and Allah. Little by little they seek to destroy Christianity and the Jews.

I wonder if Rainbow has the same mama-san that I knew from one of them(Rainbow clubs) back in the 01's-09's.
