I hear Kristi Noem is available

To each his own but we tip 20 baht to the people who help us always or more depending on situation. As others pointed out that amount doesn't mean a thing to us but it sure can help those at the bottom. FYI started at the bottom so know the drill. Also builds merit if that matters (does to us)

I don't know, were these big bikes? Mid east dudes like road rockets and those island roads can be tough for experienced riders. One thing the guy in the dark shirt sure looks skeptical at whatever he is hearing.. thought that was a hoot..

Very sad I hope she gets the help she needs.

Well I married a Thai girl in US after my discharge from USAF and 19 months in Thailand, prior to her I was a cuddly little dude and dated a lot of ladies in US as well as Thailand. I wasn't the hayseed GI who never had a girlfriend in USA then got lucky in Thailand and married the first lady he found. Anyhow dumb luck or whatever but we'll be officially married 50 yrs in 5 months. I spent 43 yrs of that traveling repairing drilling rigs in some really uncool places for extended periods of time. She took care of the home, kids and all the finances no mobile banking back then. I know very few women that could handle that no matter where they from. Anyhow she's 71 an I'm 73 now so I guess we both chose wisely. Retired here 6 yrs ago and buddy that chick still gets my motor running...

Very sad, RIP baby..

Ours not very relevant to this but we were married in the First Presbyterian Church Bakerstown Pa USA May 1976. Was informed in 2014 during a funeral we were the most likely only mixed race marriage in that church ever. At the time I think my wife was only the second asian in Butler County. We were quite rural. But we still together

Very sad.. what were they thinking?

The borax and sugar mixes always worked well. Buy the borax at Lazada or Shopee

RIP.....

I was just discharged from Bangkok Hospital Pattaya today, I have had wellness done there and its not cheap, yesterdays adventure was endoscopic decompression. They did MRI and X-rays last week and MRI was 8000 Baht which I thought was reasonable for this place. Yesterday checked in at 9AM, put in a very nice room and they made sure I fasted, Surgery was 5 hours long where they shaved bone away from the nerves L3, L4, L5, I was oilfield for 43 years and there is a lot wrong with my back but They fixed what was causing all the pain. I was told up front 429,000 baht and that wasn't far off final bill, also told if no complications could go home the next day. I paid the money up front and when discharged there was additional 5000Baht which I consider reasonable. From the doctors to the nursing staff to cashier 4th floor everything was great, I was really impressed. They are far better than the treatment I or my wife went through in USA. I got the whole itemized bill as lady asked if I wanted it. My problem was resolved I am home and go back next Saturday to remove the stitches, Pain meds have wore off now and I am pain free. Good and Cheap don't go well together. I am self insured as both of us are walking pre-existing conditions and over 70, This facility did what was needed. Sadly back home the story is poor and expensive by what we have experienced unlesss you have really deep pockets.

Now away from CM but when I retired here, Best Friend visa service was recommended by and old X-Pat. I used them and everything was great. They assisted with changing tourist to retirement showed me where to go to open bank account (that was 2019) and didn't need to leave the country.. My dealing with them was great..

50+years ago learned to go to the doc that bar girls all went to, they've seen it all and know exactly what to do and most likely will not get soaked on price..

Got call this AM from BKK Bank Sattahip, my local branch asked me to bring my PP and yellow book. Went straight away and upstairs they had a small stack of papers from Xpats I guess. She found mine in the stack, asked for my yellow book, made a copy and returned, I signed it and left, took a total of 5 minutes.. The yellow book copy went in my stack..The lady said thank you very much and all your documentation is in order.. so for now alls well...

Suspect they chose wisely here, The US offerings not what they used to be, and extremely expensive to maintain..
