  2. Today I went to the Hua Hin tessabahn to inquire about procuring a Yellow Book. I was told that I first must go to the US Embassy and have them make a “certified copy” of my passport. My passport is already a certified document in its own right so all they would have to do is walk over to the copy machine and copy it for a couple of baht. The US Embassy charges 50 USD to do even the simplest task. Then, one is supposed to go to an authorized translator (another rip off) translate my passport then go to the Foreign Ministry for some sort of approval with their stamp. All of this must be done in, of course, Bangkok. Does anyone know a simpler more sane way to accomplish this task in our own town without going through all of this nonsense? I would appreciate any advice on this subject.

Free and really having a ball in my 40s,then discovered Thailand by accident,rogered anything that moved( female that is) one 3 year relationship,ended but still friends god has it been 26 yrs? By then had buisiness in BKK back and for every 2 months,met my wife ,her sister had a business and met there,eventually married and lived in UK for years then came back here,my life has been fantastic ,i wish i could do it all over again,as the song said " even the bad times were good" my wife and i are still very much in love.

  4. It's called faith, and it's no different from believing in romantic love, which IMO is the biggest con ever. It's lust till the child is born and then the genetics kick in to keep the man hanging around. At least till the woman decides she doesn't need him any more, just his money and worldly goods.
    Sooooo, if one believes in romantic love, IMO one is as gullible as the non believers think believers are.
    Wow,that is the sadest thing i have heard on this thread, your poor old life must be so sad, i would hate to have to go through life feeling like you must, yes i fancy my wife but its not lust its far far deeper than that ,and even if we could never make love again i would still love her more than life.

  5. Statins do not increase athersclorosis, where did you get that idea from?
     
    They do not significantly shrink them in size, that is true, but that is quite different from increasing them, and it is thought they may have other effects on atherosclerotic plaques in ways that reduce the associated risks. in particular it is thought they render athersclerotic plaques less likely to rupture.

    Had a by pass 33 years ago and have taken them ever since,anyone who says they are bad is mad.

  6. So the discounts I received don't count then because they're not National Parks...........I still got the discounts because I had a pink ID card, and I did have to show my pink ID card at the ticket window. Does that mean, because they're not National Parks, I have to give the discount back then???[emoji16]
    We went to the national park eg the zoo at Sri Racha and used my driving licence,not only let me in but my daughter ,grandaughter and son in law at Thai price, my wife and son are Thai.
