Mackerel is the name in English. Good on your family for often eating it as it's really healthy!

I know this doesn't answer your question, but have you considered purchasing D Mannose online from iHerb? When I used D Mannose in the past, I purchased the NOW Foods D Mannose supplement from iHerb and was very happy with it.

The Asean Now article only translates part of the original report, and what this clown Mario did is actually much worse. He threw the old Thai man's bike in to the sea and he also said that he had a gun and threatened him with it. I don't like to count myself amongst the hang 'gm high brigade but this farang clown needs a much harsher punishment for this. 1,000 baht fine? It's a pittance.

Unfortunately, there are no guarantees. Be the best you can, put your best foot forward and with a bit of luck you'll attract a great lady. But like I said, there are no guarantees and sometimes it doesn't work out.

Fair enough if one does not want to get married. That's very much an individual thing. A bunch of my friends are married to a Thai woman and most have perfectly good marriages. I think this is most likely because most of these guys have plenty going for themselves and took their time to get to know her before settling down. This is especially important with if you come from different backgrounds. If you have a good income / are good with money, are respectful & treat people well, and have self-confidence then you will attract decent women. If you don't have a lot going for yourself, lack confidence or have other traits that make you less desirable, then you are much more likely to end up in an unhappy relationship.

So what is really going on here? You hooked up with a man (a male prostitute) and he ripped you off? You live and learn. Put it down to experience.

I'll probably get slammed for this but I think this is the most appalling attitude. Why bother getting married if you are PLANNING to use the services of prostitutes on the side, behind your wife's back? Getting married under such circumstances makes no sense to me, and strikes me as dreadfully disrespectful to your wife to be. Have you thought that perhaps the single life might be more for you?

I don't think the two New Zealand brothers were cage fighters. One brother had martial arts experience. They're both still locked up in Phuket awaiting trial.

Is this James Newman, the author and filmmaker who is based in Bangkok?

Get a full health checkup with a GP including all the standard labs. If that doesn't show anything, consider finding a functional medicine practitioner. They are doctors whose approach is a little different, and ask the all-important question of "Why is someone ill i.e. what is causing their symptoms?" They don't just treat patients using standard protocols as most doctors in the west do, but look for the root cause. So they may do a deeper dive than your typical GP, testing for vitamin and nutrient deficiencies, testing your gut microbiome and things like that.

Just to give some perspective on the other side of the equation, my wife owns and operates an online business with a store on each of Lazada and Shoppee. 90% of the problems she has are with foreigner customers (who make up less than a quarter of all her customers). Some of the complaints are ridiculous and not even petty but borderline spurious. Facebook groups for Lazada sellers show that this is a pattern that many have experienced. The complaints range from refusal to believe imported products are genuine to expecting to change a product after they have used it for a while for really daft complaints about product packaging where they could not open the package with their hands and had to use scissors!

This is a great deal. No doubt, it's very good value for money for Perth. Australia is a great country, in the top handful of desirable places to live in the world for sure. Good weather, good people, fantastic lifestyle. I have to say that this seems extraordinarily cheap. Is this the standard market rate?

I had ongoing gastro issues for a long time, saw a lot of doctors, specialists and they even sent me to an endocrinologist at one point because they could not work out what was going on and suspected hormones might be affecting my digestion. I had terrible gastro symptoms but all labs and all tests were fine (except for some hormones which they could not work out and the endo said he'd never seen labs like mine)! Eventually I would see a functional medicine practitioner in Australia and they conducted tests with the samples sent to the US. I had SIBO, Fungal overgrowth and a gut colonisation of mould. My hormones were off, and my nervous system was disregulated. Once I got a diagnosis I had a pathway to return to good health. Saying it was a long road is an understatement! You definitely need to see a gastro first as there are many things they can check for, and rule out. However, if by chance they don't find anything, you might like to consider a functional medical practitioner and do an OATS test (you can Google it for more more info).

It sounds like someone has set up a bot to grab all the available slots. If that is the case, it's a nightmare for everyday people.

Without seeing what is written in the contract you signed, no-one can say too much. What happened is unfortunate but this is Thailand. As for whether you backed out at the last minute, I presume the landlord would just keep the deposit you had lodged and claim he had missed out on other potential tenants and as such, that money was compensation for potential lost tenant / money.

No Thai drivers licence and worse still, you got behind the wheel after you'd had a few drinks. Funny how these things happen....

Sounds more like a meek man being told what to do than an air-con issue. Be a man and put your foot down.

Looks awfully like an Outlaws vest he's wearing, Barry. And if he is a member of the Outlaws gang, those guys are seriously bad news.

That's kind of like saying someone got murdered in Johannesburg and someone else got murdered in Frankfurt so Johannesburg and Frankfurt are equally dangerous when it's obvious that there is a big difference between the two.

When there are so many wonderful, relationship-minded women in Thailand, why would you even consider dating or, God forbid, marrying a hooker?

Bogan!

He needs more than luck.

You really are Mr Misery, aren't you? Why all the hateful comments?

No sweat, gives you a reason to get a divorce!

I'm not a Brit, but I have the utmost respect for Tommy Robinson. Strikes me as a proud patriot.
