Any first hand experience of having eyes tested and reading glasses ordered in Pattaya? Is there a difference in quality and cost having it done in pattaya vs. in the USA. And, any recommendations of a good place in Pattaya or Rayong area for an optometrist.

My dog drinks bottled water same as us. The market next door to us has the 20 L of water delivered, costs 20 baht. Only used for boiling foods, we don't drink it. Coffee made only with bottled water.

Breakfast is so easy to make at home and much better. Do expats really go out regularly and eat breakfast. They wouldn't know an over easy eggs style. Cold toast, frozen butter, instant coffee. Is this what retirement looks like? Making videos of crappy breakfast spots? Maybe GeorgieG is right after all.

Will you be picking him up at the airport?

Make sure to bring a book for the plane ride. I'm hopeful the flight attendants will be accommodating and help you with the zimmer.

Say hello to Mrs Smith for me, I miss her.

The average Thai don't keep up or care about tariffs. JHC the OP is obsessed with Trump

You're not doing yourself any good admitting that fact

Laws requiring bicycle riders to wear helmets is going too far.

I know you're yellow with envy. You demonize the US while you're forced to reside in Thailand because you're priced out of a decent existence in LOS.

If I didn't have my private international insurance I would have a policy in Thailand. You won't admit that the US is the most beloved country in the world.

I hate to break it to you GG, but that's life. Next time you visit spend maybe a week at other beach locations. having a Thai DL and a car here in Thailand would give you the freedom to not live in a condo. I agree Pattaya would get old after awhile which is why I suggest trying some of the beach destinations in the surrounding area like Rayong.

The electoral college is the only fair way considering the diverse landscape of the US. I qualify for Medicare, my many years of federal service provides me with an additional layer of ins. What's your point? The US has always been the dream country. A place where if you work hard you can have success. Tell me why millions of people from all over the world flooded into the US under Biden's open border policy? Your story of prisons and fat people is just something to deflect with.

It's not in the Pacific.

Hang in there GG, don't give up hope. Sorry I wasn't there to give a helping hand.

You're mad if you think being black is ever a reason for being fired in the military.

This is about an Academy. Shouldn't the best and brightest be leaders. Whatever color the best is.

Currently driving across the US.

C'mon stay focused. Diversity policies have no place in the military. Illegal Border crossing apprehensions dropped to a trickle.

I'm currently driving cross country in the USA and yes it's awesome. I'm not in prison, not obese and have excellent health ins. Other countries have been copying the US as long as I can remember.

It's only natural for non Americans to be jealous. They always have been.

Good move. Thank you Mr. Trump.

Whatsamatter, The truth does sting sometimes.

Not when you have the horizon full of fishing boats. Been there, done that. I'd bet the Mate on the Bridge was on Auto Pilot and who knows. Maybe, no one even on the bridge.

Thank you for sharing.
