I have seen enough old men think they are 19 again, not a pretty sight

Some of us eat alot of pizza when younger, and are now moved on to finer dining 😉 It's called growing up

Shenigans Silom Wherever you go in Thailand They are lousy to pour beer the correct way, even they know how to do it.

Oats and youghurt with fruits from garden kicks of my day. Cornflakes is made for children, so they will eat in a hurry to send them of to school without any hassle. A bad habit and bad treat on the level of child abuse if you ask me. Disgusting and horrible

I tend to agree, but as the ESPN article state, some physical efforts is involved just by thinking and the stress a high level game creates. Target shooting with gun and rifle? Do you need physical effort to pull a trigger? More than moving a chess piece?

You have good points, thats why I had been with my girl for 6 years before marrying her, and lived up in her village both in her family house, and later during covid built our own place close to the parents. Her family is ok, have no demands, but for sure they benefits from us, having work, and also future security for us being there for them, as they are there for us. Mutual exploitation you can say in a good way. Now when we are leaving, her brother will find work in the neighboor district to be closer while we are away, so it is a family who care for each other. I understand not everyone find a good family to marry, and literally you marrying a family not only the girl. I didn't plan to marry either, but the covid experience changed my mind, because of less rights as a couple, than married, and also her having dual citizenship will make things easier if simular crises happen in future.

If it is safety you looking for, Thailand is not the place 😉 Im not native english spoken either, but you make sense to me. As any other country and women of different cultures, time is your friend and safety card. Do not invest more than you willing to walk away from. Simple as that. Threat your girl with respect, if not mutually respect is present, why bother?

Thailand have no Grand masters in Chess ever. Google Magnus Carlsen, he is quite fit, and have a solid exercise regime and the side of his mental training to continue to win tournaments after leaving the throne as world champion undefeated 6 times. A ESPN article Robert Sapolsky, who studies stress in primates at Stanford University, says a chess player can burn up to 6,000 calories a day while playing in a tournament, three times what an average person consumes in a day. Based on breathing rates (which triple during competition), blood pressure (which elevates) and muscle contractions before, during and after major tournaments, Sapolsky suggests that grandmasters' stress responses to chess are on par with what elite athletes experience. https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/27593253/why-grandmasters-magnus-carlsen-fabiano-caruana-lose-weight-playing-chess

Most Thai boys or mommy's boys, never pushed to do anything they don't want to do. Army for boys is like a scout camp at the most, unless you are specialized or down at the border.

Good luck with that kind of thinking. Family is everything for a Thai, and if your intentions is to have an healthy relationship, there is certain norms you need to follow.

8 years I would do it again, same all over, since it has been nice to get to know my wife, the real her and her family where she is from where we have built a small farm. We are leaving now because we have no commitments in Thailand, no children, and her family will take care of our farm while we are gone. For how long we do not know, but the first plan is 10 years, and then we will see. Our goal is to work, give her the opportunity to have dual citizenship and her pension rights, and then make a new decision. After 8 years I started to get bored of being semi retired travelling back and forth for work schedules, and travelled Thailand 3 times around, and several smaller trips just to ease the boredom, as well as thousands of hours in gyms. Tired of this year's heat, and the general pollution, especially the burning seasons, which felt more bad this year because of the lack of rain. What finely tipped me over, was the confusing new tax regime of expats. There is no way I will pay tax to a country who does not give anything back. No legal benefits or social security. I was very clear from the beginning, after following several expats on different forums, and their stories of living in Thailand, I would not get stuck, and my daily life was going to be as much like I was back home with daily normal healthy routines, and live one decent place, and travel for weekends and holidays to have contrasts. Even paradise becomes boring after a while. That's just how it is

Chess is a sport 🤔

I would choose Kho Phangan above both. No traffic or crowds

Thai are "lazy" because they can allow themselves to be. They had easier life than most because of simple living standards, due to their climate, and no need to risk their lives to get food, and also store and maintain food resources. They have been wealthy compared to other countries and societies who literally had to fight for their existence. Thai more sabai sabai

I do not care was not an option 🙂

What is worse? Centipede or the small scorpions? The small scorpion pain was instant And lasted for 18 hours, and could get some pulsation even two days later.

I do no care about who do what, but people who live together, should have same legal right no matter what sex they are. Weed should be controlled in a sensible way like alchohol.

One night in Bangkok Bangkok, Oriental City But the city don't know what the city is getting The creme de la creme of the chess world In a show with everything but Yul Brenner Time flies, doesn't seem a minute Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boards in it All changed, don't you know that when you Play at this level there's no ordinary venue It's Iceland, or the Philippines, or Hastings Or, or this place One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster The bars are temples but their pearls ain't free You'll find a god in every golden cloister And if you're lucky, then the god's a she I can feel an angel sliding up to me One town's very like another When your head's down over your pieces, brother (It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity To be looking at the board Not looking at the city) Whattaya mean? You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town (Tea, girls, warm and sweet, sweet Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite) Get Thai'd, you're talking to a tourist Whose every move's among the purest I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble Not much between despair and ecstasy One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble Can't be too careful with your company I can feel the Devil walking next to me Siam's gonna be the witness To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness This grips me more than would a muddy old river Or reclining Buddha Thank God I'm only watching the game, controlling it I don't see you guys raging The kind of mating I'm contemplating I'd let you watch, I would invite you But the queens we use would not excite you So, you better go back to your bars, your temples Your massage parlors One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster The bars are temples but their pearls ain't free You'll find a god in every golden cloister A little flesh, a little history I can feel an angel sliding up to me One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble Not much between despair and ecstasy One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble Can't be too careful with your company I can feel the Devil walking next me.

Genetics plays role, of course. Africans dominance in mny sports even they come from poor countries proves genetics have alot to say. Thai doesn't have a culture where they learn to push themselves to maximum performance long after they think they are done. It is something you have to learn to understand. When you think you do not have anything left to give and believe you are exhausted, you just started. Unfortunate the new generations in the west missing out to.

Thank you

I enjoy light modular helmets which are as quiet as possible even I use sound/noise canceling ear buds. And I found those two brands to fit my head, and have the quality I want for the price I'm willing to pay. Not to forget fit myglasses and sun glasses as well my ear buds. When buying helmets I bring my glasses, and ear buds, when buying glasses, I bring my helmet.

After application, testosterone levels achieve their peak in ≈ 2–4 h, then decrease to pre-application levels at ≈ 12 h, broadly mirroring the natural diurnal rhythm of male testosterone. Testavan 2% gel also improved sexual, physical and mental functioning, fatigue and health-related quality of life. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/332340595_Testosterone_2_gel_TestavanR_TestarzonR_in_adult_male_hypogonadism_a_profile_of_its_use I find injections more convenient, and I use gel in Norway, because the only option here is Nebido, and my Dr do not want to give permission to inject myself on other T. Anyway, the gel type Testovan is much better than Testogel/Androgel in my opinion, especially used with the applicator.

The problem with male hormon gel and a partner it can transmit. Male fel hormon is better taken in the morning. Also to consider when applying gel and male hormon production The majority of the daily testosterone release in men occurs during sleep. Sleep fragmentation and obstructive sleep apnea are associated with reduced testosterone levels. In older men, morning testosterone levels are partly predicted by total sleep time https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4445839/

I have mixed up for sure, 2000 - 2004 I travelled Malaysia and China, my first year in Thailand was 2005. I always thought it was only 5mill visitors back then, but just in few years it was an dramatic change in tourists on places that was almost untouched in Krabi. First year you could kayak to smaller beaches and no long tail boats or cruise boat tourism.

What finely pushed me over was this years heat, and the unclear situation around taxation of abroad transfers. Smoke and pollution I could avoid by moving around the worst times, but the heat killed it this year. Visa and 90 days is nothing compare to schengen visit and family reunion fees and paperwork. But at least she can work and earn money, from day one on family reunion. Have social security, and after 3 years (suggested to be 5 now) have permanent stay, and after 7 years total living together and married, can apply for citizenship. you have resided in Norway for the previous 3 years with your spouse or partner in order to apply for Norwegian citizenship; your marriage must have lasted at least 7 years, and so must your time spent in Norway; you must have had a residence permit for at least one year throughout the
