  1. Yes just another example of this type of mentality. A person doesn’t like something another person does. So the resolution is to get rid of them. Take their life. I’m not saying this sort of thing doesn’t happen in other countries. Of course it does. But from the news articles posted here and on television. It happens here too many times.
  2. Things won’t change unless a large portion of the drivers mentality changes . Which is doubtful. Many just don’t care about anyone else. It’s almost impossible to change a cultural issue. And the police need to patrol more and increase proper enforcement.
  3. Agreed. They can’t just walk away. Words are just words. No need to end disagreements with violent encounters.
  4. The unprotected sex thing makes sense in a way. So many women I have spoken to in the past on dating sites here. Have children but never been married.
  5. Sure donate it to other countries. While they barely can take care of themselves
  6. So it was just a person that looks after patients? So in Thailand any type of person can be hired to look after patients in a hospital? Not even have an official job title , just a person? I’m guessing the person had a medical reason to be there, and not housekeeping. And it would be difficult not to bring valuables to a hospital for an unplanned visit or stay in an emergency situation.
  7. Another example of the fine mentality in the land of smiles. Rescue workers brawling over jurisdiction of an injured person. Shows how much they actually care about the patient”s well being .
  8. Excellent advise from the OP. On my time living in Bangkok. I lost count how many gave me a sob story .
  9. When a person has a medical condition of course anything is possible. Some people recover. And unfortunately some people don’t. Just common sense.
  10. I had a crown put in many years ago in the states by a dentist I have seen for a number of years. No issues. But as we all know anything can happen. I would think the dentist would know by X-rays and exam . Being able to judge if a crown is sufficient, or needing root canal. Before advising just a crown. My personal advice. Research a good dentist in your area. and get a second opinion ASAP.. You don’t want to wait too long and risk infection and more complications.
  11. I’m 66 years old , retired at 62. I’m from the states, living in Bangkok a little over two years now. Part of the decision depends on you. If you plan to live in Thailand for ever, then you don’t need B. If you do don’t plan to live here take B. But you never know what the future might bring. Because if you don’t you will be paying a high ongoing late penalty. I didn’t plan to live overseas forever. So I took B to avoid any future penalties. I carried over my health plan from my previous job. It covers me anywhere overseas and domestically . Also since I pay for Part B now, but can’t use it overseas. As of age 65 my health plan pays any medical expenses 100%. And all copays are waived. I pay $ 250 usd per month deducted from my monthly pension payment for the insurance plan. That is for a single person. Plus of course the charge for Part B deducted from Social Security. When I eventually move back to USA. Medicare becomes my primary coverage at 80%. My health insurance then covers me at 20%. Also my health plan requires me to have part B for coverage in the states at age 65.
  12. There have been different medical articles from different countries. They say that the booster should be from an MRNA vaccine
  13. It’s a homemade wooden flat exercise bench. I’m surprised it doesn’t hurt the back lol. It’s actually a piece of junk. The message he is sending is keep off the bench. If the guy has mental health issues and thinks it’s his. Let him have it. At least he’s just exercising. He’s not out robbing, stealing, or hurting anyone. At least that people know of.
  14. Just like some others have said. I’m sure all the drama has to do with a foreigner being involved.
  15. I’m sure the usual Cheap Charlie’s will still take the risk to move or visit.
  16. Just endorses the mentality even more. Poor little girl gets bitten by dogs that have bitten before. People that have gotten bitten gets rabies vaccine, so that makes everything ok. But since the dogs have attacked the little girl. They want the dogs taken away now. These dogs should have been taken away a long time ago. Dog’s owner says dogs are good dogs . But they have bitten in the past. How ignorant is that. If the poor little girl was injured fatally. Probably would say dogs are good. Get a wai. And maybe a few hundred baht damages. Ignorance at its best.
  17. I’m wondering how all those scooters are going to be able to stay in that one lane. I say scooters because they are not really motorcycles.
  18. Worked for a Federal Agency 32 years. The last 11 years in Management for that Agency. I retired about four years ago.
  19. Could have been something the shop did or overlooked. Or it just happened to occur after the service. Not easy to prove. Most important all occupants are safe.
  20. So far in my lifetime I have visited 22 different countries. In my opinion they are not the most beautiful in the world. But there are many attractive women here of course. But beauty is in the eyes of an individual .We all have different tastes.
  21. There really in no specific time frame on booster. Just really speculation. Right now they are saying you should wait six to nine months to get boosters. I received two Sinovac June and July of last year with a four week span. Against my better judgment. Then in mid August I managed to get a booster of Pfizer. I took it based on the recommendation of one of my doctors. Because of the low protection rate of Sinovac. This week I wil get a booster of Moderna which I paid for ,since it has been six months. My doctor said to hold off with any more boosters after this. So I will see what is the going medical opinion six to nine months after that.
