Lacessit

I looked at the menu, decided it was overpriced. The "Hungry Nest" does an excellent spinach, cheese and mushroom omelette, along with one of the best mango smoothies I have had in Chiang Rai or Chiang Mai. 180 baht for the two when I was last there in February.

Waxes are merely barriers. They only give short-term protection if underlying rust and occluded salt is not removed. A thorough preparation consists of sanding all accessible areas, and treating with a phosphoric acid conversion coating in all areas. There are also tannic acid treatments available. However, IMO they are not as effective as phosphate conversion. After 24 hours, excess chemical is washed off with clean water, and allowed to dry. THEN apply any wax coating. Unfortunately, rust never sleeps. Once salt has gained access to inaccessible areas such as crevices, what corrosion engineers call a differential oxidation cell is initiated, which is extremely difficult to reverse. Sometimes, it is better to sell the car before crevice corrosion becomes evident, because it is occasionally a structural issue as well.

Suggest the OP look at the OPPO range. I have just updated to an A77 after 7 years faithful service from an OPPO A 37F. It's still working, but can't handle some of the more recent apps.

The average wage in Myanmar is about one-third of that in Thailand. It's why many construction workers in Thailand are Burmese. This fact should increase the scepticism of Thai workers towards any job offers there. The Thai education system does not encourage questioning.

Having a meal at 2 am sounds like setting oneself up for gastric reflux. The sex wouldn't bother me, although I might be a little envious, and nostalgic.

I'd want a one year cooling-off period.

I am not concerned with card skimming in Australia, because getting card fraud rectified by financial institutions is only a phone call or email away. In Thailand, a combination of the language barrier and institutional sclerosis is a different story.

Either you don't know how to use Google, or you are bone lazy.

The OP might get better pain relief without nausea symptoms by trying kratom ( Mitragyna speciosa ) . It is legal in Thailand. Illegal in the US and Australia. I drink half a cup brewed as a tea from the leaves. My reaction to kratom is mild euphoria for an hour or two, and pain relief for 5-6 hours. In larger quantities, it acts as a sedative. YMMV. As with all opiates, it is addictive. Synthetic opiates such as oxycodone, fentanyl etc. target specific pain receptors. As i understand it, kratom targets all of them. Oddly enough, morphine has zero effect on me in terms of pain relief, it seems to be less effective than even panadol. We all are different. I have never had any nausea with any opiate that has been prescribed for me. Feel free to disagree with this post, Sheryl. I am posting on the basis of practical experience with various opiates, although not as someone with terminal cancer.

No, I meant 100,000 baht. 100 cm is one meter of bank bills, I wish.

I only carry that much money once a month. You clearly don't understand the point I was making. Someone clones your credit card by walking past you, your 4 million will be gone before you realize what has happened. It's theft in cyberspace, not physical theft of the card.

100 K makes a a fairly sizeable bulge, I prefer not to advertise. I wear trousers, not those imitations of SAS gear with spare ammunition/compass/night vision/MRE pockets. Unless your wallet is a Faraday cage, that 4 million could be taken by anyone walking past you with the appropriate technology.

Point taken. I think I have been drunk about 3-4 times in my entire life, and it was in the company of friends. My contact with ladyboys has been limited to seeing them onstage.

You have obviously never seen a woman's purse, they are like Aladdin's cave.

Disclosure: I only use my man bag when I go to the bank to withdraw money. The rest of the time, 500 - 1000 baht in one pocket, scooter keys in another. Phone in a shirt pocket.

I have better things to do with my time than search across half a dozen threads for what you said.

Please, not while I am eating.

A few more specifics please, such as location of old man, salary range, etc. Government hospital nurses are compulsorily retired at age 45, presumably some will have some English. IMO a fluent English-speaking carer would be quite expensive.

I have Australian and Thai debit cards. I only use them for emergencies in Thailand, as getting skimmed is apparently a constant risk. Lose a card, it's a nightmare getting it stopped and replaced. Lose a few hundred baht to a pickpocket, mai bpen rai. As I partly live in a village, and also buy food in the day markets, cash is more practical. Yet to see a street vendor armed with an EFTPOS terminal. Payment by phone is the new frontier in Thailand, to me that is even more of a security risk. In Australia, different story. I use a debit card for everything, can't remember the last time I paid in cash.

My estate gets divided among my heirs, and I am entirely forgotten in 2-3 generations. All pain and struggle ceases. The compounds that make up my body are distributed in the environment. As for an afterlife in any form, I simply don't know. Neither does anyone else, it's a matter of belief.

If the best you can do is repeat yourself...... boring.

I am merely pointing out anyone funding themselves on 100,000 baht/year could not afford to provide support for a GF, even one from the hill tribes. I'm sorry you were asleep during logic and inference classes. I do carry bandaids in the man bag, as a precaution in case I get lacerated by someone's wit. Thank you for reminding me to change them out, they are well past their use-by date.

Man bags leave the hands free, and they are at the front where I can see any attempt at theft.

Evidently, you do not have a GF. Why am I not surprised?

I recommend a magnesium supplement, it's alarming someone your age ( IIRC <55 ) has memory lapses.
