LOL a country where they sit on the floor and eat with their fingers out of bowls Buddy. Your average joe Somchai believes all he is told they dont think for themselves land of smiles yes dream on.

So what if they sit on the floor to eat?? Lots of cultures do so. It doesn't mean you're better than they are.

Thais question a lot more than you think but they're taught to keep some things to themselves.
Free speech isn't a thing here in case you hadn't noticed

Anutin calls us dirty foreigners.

Prayut says we should be raped and murdered for wearing bikinis.

 

If you don't believe they hate us, you ain't paying attention.

Oh grow up
Prayut most definitely did not say that. He merely said that if these women parade around in ordinary public areas, they are bound to attract the attention of men, a handful of whom may take things too far.

I remember when we used to laugh at other ethnicities who complained of discrimination here. We'd say things like "Thailand isn't PC so if you don't like it, . . ."

Now that we're on the receiving end, suddenly the softer, snowflake types among us are crying "racism".
What happened to the attraction of no political correctness?

How many times have Westerners who used to be the bread n butter of the tourism industry been pushed aside and forced out in favor of Arabs, Indians, and now Russians? Complaints to The Police are ignored thai yobs have inpunity from assaulting us, Racism is rife not once has a Thai governor answered why Russians or Chinese are given long-stay-free visas yet all other Westerners get only 30 days on Arrival. Have they addressed it no its all about money the greed is rotting the apple barrel, never mind the Golden Goose that was well and trully plucked 10 years ago. Even Thailand's second in command summed up the thoughts of Thais when he called us unwashed dirty falangs and are not wanted in our country. Well mud sticks You are to blame for the decline instead of blaming others look in the mirror.

You make it sound as if the Thais are somehow mourning this development. 
I don't think they are. 

Can't speak for all Thais but the ones I know rank Brits at the bottom of the barrel as far as crappy behaviour in their country is concerned.

Thailand could learn a few lessons from Cambodia 300 dollars for a year reTirement Visa 2 pictures  took 2weeks to get no paperwork no embassy or immigration vIsit done from my hotel no 90 day report no tm30 and multiple entRY and a very warm welcome

 

And, consequently, they attract even more of the low-end degenertes Thailand is trying to rid itself of.

Perhaps the Brits are also tired of two months of 'Farang, he evil & crazy', a Thai media special feature. 

Yes but there are pretty valid reasons for farangs featuring more prominently in the Thai media. 
So many behave like absolute scum.
Beating up women, sexually assaulting their pupils, dealing drugs, assaulting policemen and even sexually assaulting a HORSE . . . . .

Phuket, again. Foreigner, again. There really must be something in the air down there. There's been so many reports of foreigners going bonkers on Phuket!

This is commonplace. The media's just reporting more often now.

Mostly farangs and Thais seem to be getting fed up with it

OK... these women are scum and I hope they are caught and penalised.... 

 

........   but flippin' ek....    how hard is The Thaiger trying to drag out the 'foreigner's are bad' rhetoric....   ??

 

... at least they tried to balance the scales by mentioning a theft by a Thai... but why mention either - the story is about these two women ripping off some items from a store. 

 

 

 

 

Don't like the content of the news so it's time for the censors, right?

It is not! A stupid comment that just shows your ignorance and prejudice!

The vast majority of pedos in Thailand are Thai.

This guy is accused of crimes in the UK, so is not at all surprising that he is a Brit!

Of course the majority are Thai; it's their country
I'd imagine he was referring to the foreign paedophiles who are ALWAYS white and from either UK, US, NZ and Germany.

Why should it be a source of big shame for me, if a criminal or pervert has the same color as I have? To me it does not matter what color a criminal or pervert has.

Color of skin seems a big matter to you. Isn't it a very little bit racist?

Look, I responded to some idiot who said the following:

Quote

Why is it always black people who cause trouble wherever they go?  Surely there must be some genuinely nice, refined black people who abhor the way their race is being portrayed. Would help if the subject didn't look like a dish mop as well. Clean yourself up !!!

 I merely pointed out that it's white people who seem to cause more trouble in this country than any other foreigners, especially at the moment.

So true. Don't forget all those white people from Nigeria "working" as love scammers, drug dealers and thieves. It's definetely a matter of color of skin. 

OK well put it this way, if you were going to prison in the morning, would you prefer your future inmates to believe you were being jailed for dealing drugs or for penetrating underage boys and girls?

I mean, I don't know about you but I've never read about an African being arrested with kiddie porn or on pedo warrants from home. From what I've seen, that is the preserve of white people here and no matter how much we like to pretend it doesn't happen, it is and always should be a source of deep shame for the community.

That remark plumbed hitherto unknown depths of stupidity.

From what I've seen lately, all the "trouble" being caused here by foreigners seems to emanate from white people parked up here for any of a number of reasons including evading law enforcement back home or molesting children. Swiss white men beating up women in Big C, Kiwi white men assaulting and disarming a police officer causing his weapon to be discharged in the struggle, a Brit white man fainting upon realising the police had come to arrest him for sexually assaulting a number of his students and other Brit nabbed for dealing drugs in Phuket. 

I could go on but you get the point or at least you should if you've not already flushed your brains out with this morning's bowel movement.

I will assume "bone pain" is not really bone pain at all but just her way of saying muscle aches and pains

 

There are in fact blood tests that can help identify if a woman is at the start of menopause, but they need to be conducted at exactly the right time in the menstrual cycle

 

Urinary frequency,  if it has persisted after the myomectomy, needs further work up especially if accompanied by dysuria.

 

There is a menopause clinic at Chulalongkorn hospital's Women's Health Center (7th Floor Phor Por Lor Building). Last info I have is that it was Mondays from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. and Fridays from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. but this is old so should recheck by calling 02-576-6529. (Number is also old, if it does not work can call general number 02-649-4000 but may be quicker to just go in person to inquire)

 

Other options are the various anti0aging clinics but these are very expensive

Thanks Sheryl

She received the hall-clear on her lung x-rays and ECG. 
The hack reiterated his opinion that it couldn't be menopause and ruled it out completely.

I advised her to go to MedConsultAsia clinic in sukhumvit. They're inexpensive and reasonably competent from what I've experienced.

Instantly recognised perimenopause. The doctor's own mother is going through it right now so it was all familiar.

Prescribed some valium for sleep because the insomnia and resulting fatigue is the most debilitating symptom. Some amitriptyline for anxiety/depression and some oestrogel. No progestin though

A lady near and dear to me seems to be having all the symptoms that a layman might associate with perimenopause.

These include: 
Extreme tiredness/fatigue
Heart palpitations
Bone pain
Hot flashes
Vaginal dryness
Frequent urination

In her efforts to determine what's wrong with her, she's

1. Had a curettage that removed a benign polyp,

2. Had a pap smear that was clear,

3. Commissioned a urine culture that was negative

4. Had a thyroid check that was fine and

5. Had kidney function test which was normal

The last three were done at a reputable lab in Bangkok. 

I suggested she might be perimenopausal but she's skeptical because she still has periods. Obviously, I've tried to explain that perimenopause is the transition to menopause and not the "haven't had a period in 12 months" that menopause usually refers to but she reasons that none of her similarly aged female friends have encountered her symptoms so it's probably bunk.

Anyway, she is currently relying on the inept administrations of a hack OB/GYN at a state hospital somewhere in Bangkok. He's ordered an x-ray of her lungs and an ECG saying that her palpitations and her hot flashes warrant an immediate check of those organs but he hasn't even considered prescribing a low dose course of HRT.  

Does anyone know of a decent OB/GYN in Bangkok who doesn't charge too much and would at least consider her age (49 in July) and her symptoms as warranting some sort of investigation into perimenopause? I know there are no definitive tests to diagnose this challenging condition but a woman her age uttering these symptoms to a GP in the UK would hear the words "peri/menopause" and "HRT" more or less straight away.

Thanks for any help.
