This might work in Western culture. In Thai culture, complaining is the same as insulting the person. It's why I prefer to say nothing, and never go back. it's probably also why so many small businesses in Thailand go under.

Takes me back to 'does your nose bleed every 28 days?'

I don't agree with the notion Thai bar girls are any worse than any other Thai women with respect to their conduct with foreigners. Like most humans, it's a spectrum. I do agree many Thais assume any Thai woman with a foreigner is a prostitute. Given they are class-ridden, poorly educated snobs, their opinion is irrelevant to me. A very common refrain I get from the Thai women I meet is their desire for the company of a foreigner, in preference to a Thai male. Almost invariably, they have had a prior relationship with a Thai.

If any food in a restaurant is unsatisfactory for any reason, I don't eat it. I say nothing, pay for the food. I never go back to the restaurant again.

OP, did you make a full recovery from the 'blood in stool' episode? Everyone is different, I thought Hanoi was a much better city than Saigon.

Please brush up on your reading skills before posting. Don't give up your day job, you'll never make it as a comedian. Is your day job posting on ASEAN?

Good idea, I can give my eyes a rest.

I probably lost it responding to yours. Mods - when will we get the delete notifications function back?

Spare me, do you want a list of the illegal things that happen in Thailand on a daily basis? You have probably availed yourself of several.

If I want assistance from anyone, I'll pick on someone who is not otherwise occupied. I would still say excuse me.

I'll let you know when one of your opinions agrees with mine. I have this mental image of you interrupting a couple mid-bonk on a beach, to ask for directions to the ice-cream stand.

The surname is Aldrin, which demonstrates how well you remember him.

Irrelevant what they are doing. Either one has good manners, or they don't. It's not a question of degree.

You don't think it is rude to interrupt someone when they are otherwise occupied?

When a lady takes me into her bed, I assume there are implications. Up until then, I don't read too much into the situation.

Hospitals are geared towards blood tests, although they may be able to test for some parameters in well water. I would suggest a university, most would have a chemistry department with analytical equipment of various kinds. For well water, the obvious candidates are fecal/total coliforms, total dissolved solids, and heavy metals. Some groundwater sources in Asia are heavy on nitrates.

Nobody remembers who came second. If I have earbuds in to listen to music or have white noise, anyone who interrupts that is disrespectful of my desire to be left alone. That being the case, why should I respect their requests/demands?

Yes. Some post on ASEAN.

IME sex in various forms is negotiable in all types of massage establishments in Thailand, except those where there are notices specifically prohibiting it.

IMO it is easy enough to rule out any bone injury with an x'ray. After that, a deeper dive with a CAT scan or similar for ligaments and tendons. Until the OP actually knows what the problem is, any form of treatment is experimental.

Gee, I'll be crying myself to sleep tonight.

You used the words " non- porous materials such as tiles ". If anyone is deflecting now, it's you.

I've had sex with a 60 yo a few times. Not beautiful. but she more than made up for that deficiency with skills and enthusiasm.

I thought the Saudis scrubbed their @rses with sand, before the West found oil for them.

Which means it will propagate again from the grout which exists between tiles.
