  1. I get DTAM GANJA OIL from a government hospital in Buriram. It costs about 200 baht for 10mg. It seems to work but is so mild it is hard to really tell. As in; I was stressed b4 3 drops under the tongue and now I don't feel stressed. the oil? passage of time? comments? I use 5-8 drops with a small pipe of gelato b4 sleep and I go to sleep. I also had purchased some full spectrum CBD that seems stronger and certainly smells stronger; it cost 650 baht for 10 mg. What is the difference between full spectrum CBD oil and DTAM Ganja oil, if any, please. Comments on price of CBD oil please. I have read that using CBD oil b4 smoking weed can enhance the high. Any comments? Thanks very much in advance.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™‚
  2. Yes Mike L, I will now but the email help address does not appear on the spotify account page. The only help offered is with pre determined questions. The address came from an online search. I also tried to update my card details on my paypal account and have the same problem with them. Let's see how it goes. Thanks for your interest๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™‚
  3. Thanks Mike Lister. A new card has been logged onto my spotify account as designated payer for my individual premium account but the payment will not go through due to 2 tier confirmation process. Is it possible to suspend this confirmation process for a short time just to get the payment through? Thanks๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™‚
  4. This contact information eventually appeared following a general search online for it.
  5. Having occasionally enjoyed the company of Swiss Nationals during decades of skiing at French resorts favoured by them. I can say, therefore, with authority that some Swiss people are very nice and that some are complete tw*ts and believe that the world should move out of their way; thus enabling them to enjoy their activities uninterrupted or intruded upon by lesser beings.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ™‚
  6. I replaced my misplaced card for a new one exactly the same but cannot change my payment details on spotify. I suppose it would be the same for any card payment requiring an sms or some other bank confirmation process. Cannot remember how this unfolded when I set up the account in the first place; it was a while ago. Spotify has embraced the 'no help' help department so the pre determined questions do not fit my circumstances. I have the account; they just will not allow me to update my payment method. I tried to update my paypal account with the same results. I have tried 3 debit cards and a credit card from 3 different banks with the same response. Thanks in advance for any comments.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
  7. I get this (costly) stuff from the dermatologist at the hospital. Excuse me for being dumb (as in stupid) but I thought urea means urine. Immersing myself in pee does not appeal but if there is a derivative that helps this aching body of mine I would like to learn of it. Thanks. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™‚
  8. The local manager refused to consider issuing either w/o being married. It has had a disastrous result as I am now married to a narcissistic monster ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
  9. Pretty clever there drgoon. What will become of me now that I have been exposed? 555. The shop is D.D. btw, just checked the photo. It is 250/hr, 400/2hrs, + tip. There is another called 'Relax spa etc.' just across the tracks and a bit east (north side) that is very good and has upmarket environment for about the same price.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™‚ Both of these places have Thai customers of every persuasion and I rarely see a western person there. Relax closes at 19:00. can find both on G maps๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
  10. I have some friends who have suffered bad surgery results and it always saddens me learning about them. A German man I know had his hip replaced and they neglected to make that leg the same length as the other. I remember the surgeon personally measuring my legs and commenting that he would be correcting the slight difference in length with the operation. Here is a picture of my knee today. The staple photo is posted above. I was interested to learn about plasma ultrafiltrate from Mark Nothing. Where is this product available from please? And can you provide a bit more information about how all that works please. (a very quick look on google did not produced a description of what you describe). I use a skin moisturizer called Urea 10%. Is there any connection? Thank you๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™‚
  11. Thanks for a normal comment Barnet1900. Never connected the not rub to a massage but can be why I recommended DJ's opposite the hospital; aside from it being a good way to wait for the afternoon session at the roong pa ya ban. I have the dubious honour to be in the possession of a number of sports injuries so having an 'oily back rub down' does not do it for me. Neither does a 10 minute 'head scratch happy ending'. I enjoyed many hours of 're-education' (as they say in France). It is such a welcome event to find any shop that approaches and/or equals the same skills as those physio therapists dedicated to helping people being able to function again. My happy ending is walking out of the shop feeling rosy with joints approaching fluid movement for a while. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™‚
  12. My house book and pink card required marriage in our amphur of Ban Mai Chaiyapot, Buriram even though I have an usufruct and all receipts for the buildings that I put up and paid for. Bad trade, as it turned out.
  13. Decades of skiing in France ate the cartilage in my left knee. My replacement was done by a surgeon in Annecy who only does knees. (I had paid an extra surcharge of 500 euros for the special 'sport surgeon/anesthetist team') (Most of my friends have had a new knee, many have 2) French healthcare provided 21 days of inpatient 're-education' at a special hospital in Plateaux d'Assey. I did not appreciate the importance of getting more than 90 degrees bend (mine is about 135) and I learned about the joy of being able to climb stairs and the fear of not. Many people find their knees blocked at less than 90 deg. and must engage in painful maneuvers to try to unblock it or have another operation. I saw one lady in Krung Tep who was told to stay in bed following the op and now has a straight peg leg type of affliction ever after. I was up and walking a day or 2 later but was cautioned about over use as the surgeon had packed the cut with painkllers b4 stapling it up(!). The joint has no problems for me but the op involves yanking the kneecap out of the way while the replacement is being fitted and this has had some lasting numbing that occurs on my lower leg (I suppose). This op was good for me but the re education is essential or you will be disabled for life. Cannot stress this enough.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™‚
  14. why do you make ugly comments like that?
  15. Aside from going there whenever, those of you who go to Govt. hospitals know that sometimes the process stops for lunch b4 your turn. The shop pictured below is on the road just beside the Govt. hospital in Buriram and is a great place to be until lunch break is over. All persons are qualified (certificates posted) and the shop is clean and they change the pillow covers. 1hr 250 baht 2hrs 400 baht. And they continue for the full hour (or longer). Massage well done.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™‚
  16. If you can get a Non 'o' a visa (the a is important) insurance is not required and for now lasts forever. Without the 'a' the base retirement visa apparently expires in 20 years. There are some rules that I don't know much about that restrict what kind of visas are issued in different countries and in Thailand. good luck๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
  17. OK, so the test I just did was on my acer swift X laptop with a ryzen 7 processor. Wireless connection. Windows 11. The point is trying to figure out about internet speed purchased at 1GBPS but only providing 340 MBPS. How can they sell it if they cannot provide the full 1 GBPS speed?๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
  18. Further to great deal 500 mbps; I did a speed test on my 3BB + Norton VPN service. I am in Buriram province in the rural north. My 3BB service is the 899pcm version. 3BB no vpn 340 MBPS 3BB + VPN +Thailand 19 MBPS + singapore 220 MBPS + seattle USA 30 MBPS So, it looks like having the possibility of 1GBPS service is let down by the actual speed provided by the server. Is this correct? If it is correct then there is absolutely no point in paying for for high speed service that they are apparently unable to provide. Comments?๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
  19. Here is an interesting debate from 8 years ago with notables such as Stephen Fry and Ann Widdecombe(๐Ÿคฎ). I know it is about the Catholic Church but it does address the God issue too. Very entertaining. Especially the end vote๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
  20. Yes TBL I never owned the land (well spotted). I gifted her nearly 500,000 THB used to purchase the land and in exchange I got a usufruct contract. I have spent the last ~ 8 years improving the land and constructing the various buildings and paying 100% for all. I had thought that I was going to live here forever. My now wife was a non participant and I was too focused and busy to notice. You are right about the 'good luck getting rid of her' as the land is in her village of birth. I don't quite understand the 'using them to have a happy life' comment. My 'Happy Life' for the past years has been spent as a general contractor w/o any help from his partner (now wife). The only comments I got were after the work was completed and they were suggestions as to how much better it would have been had I done something or another a bit differently. After no comments when asked for pre-construction suggestions. btw- Her family are brilliant and this could be one reason why I did not realize what a lazy person she is. She owns the land and the usufruct expires when I die. The condition of the buildings, pool etc. and their contents/equipment when she takes possession will depend on her. I own everything on the land. I will be seeing the lawyer (John Spooner, Isaan Lawyers, Korat) next week and will post the results. My question will be: Just how much grief, emotional and financial, can she cause me? Thanks for your ongoing interest in my dilemma.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
  21. I would like to buy a Galaxy A54 5G which comes in at ~12-13,000 baht. I have a bunch of old samsung phones. I plan to switch my 3BB account to the 500mbps and get a second sim card with that package (thanks GammaG). How does it work to trade in a phone with AIS or any service provider please? Is there a cheaper way to get a hold of an A54 5G other than Lazada or Shopee? Thanks in advance for any comments ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
  22. How do you find the 500 mbps up down as a internet service as opposed to 1 gbps for private use? I found this 500mbps plan on FB as someone pointed out. I found the promotions from AIS to be confusing b4; now with 3BB added it has got worse. Is it possible to somehow combine a trade in your old phone and new subscribers' special offers? I saw this post a little late as I just bought one of the AIS Fibre 3 offers at 200 baht pcm. So, with the 500mbps @ 699 I save 200 baht over the 899 1gbps plus 200 for the fibre 3 that I have mistakenly bought and will now discard. 400 baht pcm is not a bad savings in these difficult times. How about trading in an old samsung S8 for a new samsung galaxy a54 5g? Are there any offers on that do you suppose? Thanks๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
  23. Can't find an app on G Play or google search. Help please and thank you.
  24. I had thought that I could walk away from a woman I mistakenly married last year but it seems to be not so easy. I hear that some Thais marry several times in a village ceremony or something. I have heard that divorce can be as simple as both parties going to the municipal and declaring there desire to be divorced. But I also hear about people getting taken to the cleaners. I just want a simple solution . We were married at the municipal in Buriram city properly witnessed etc.. We live 90km north is a small rural village. Looking for some expert advice and/or comments please to prepare myself with the right questions before the first meeting with the lawyer (whom I already know). I have a prenuptial and a registered usufruct on the land that I had purchased 8 years ago and gifted to her. I own all the buildings etc. on the land and I have the right to use the land for my lifetime. She will get everything (millions) on my death anyway whatever our marital status. I have a house and a fully equipped guest house. My wife has been sleeping next door in the guest house for over a year. It looks like she has no intention of going anywhere else for the moment; we are in the village of her birth and she lives like a princess (her latest crochet is always ready to go). She thinks it is ok to look online for a 'New King' but if I simply speak to a woman in a friendly way the roof come down. (I was alerted to the attached by a friend). I am finding that some women that I have spoken to will not continue even talking as friends after reflecting on my marital status. 'She could sue' is something that I have heard. Sue who and for what? I have helped her and her family over the years to the tune of ponds dug, farm cabins built, wells bored, nieces educated, small fleet of motorbikes bought and a new car for her (off the top of my head). I also built all these houses/pool etc. that will be hers on my death. I stopped giving her 5000 baht a month pocket money some time ago when she complained that it was not enough. Her family are very nice btw; it is only she who is a lazy, incurious, stupid narcissist. Yes, yes; the name is Sucker - not Tucker. But she has gone too far now and I must escape. So help me plan to get rid of her please. I just realized that as I have an usufruct on the land and I own the buildings; I don't have to go (duh) even if she is next door. But it seems that I do have to divorce her if I want to make any new friends who are female, even if they are in another area far away. I am 75, btw, do not drink and really would simply like some more friends and a simple life. Thanks in advance for comments.
