That math hits me a lot while living here lol. But I'm not built that way. I prefer a relationship. However, it Doesn't mean I can't envy the lack of complexity in your life though. Cheers to freedom of decisions.

according to Llisa shlesinger, a comedian...she can't stand being with the younger guys as they ask permision for everything like a dog begging for a treat and wimpering lol. (She's late 30's I think?). Good looking woman. she says that society has sucked the masculinity out of them and it's severly depressing to experience.

If you switch out pornography for Instagram and Tik Tok and FB, you nailed it. It's not the junk in mens head. That's been there since the dawn of time. Pornography too. However, females, seem very susceptible to believing the fakeness of IG lives as real life and think they should get to live the life of a queen (without realizing that while a queen has immense power, it comes with immense work and responsibility.). They don't want to put in that effort. Or to give in order to get. And while they have the looks, their DM's are filled daily by boys and men continuing to sell that dream, offer the world (fake promises), and while also deriding the current partner with 100% complete blind agreement and falsities thrown at the reigning man...so that they always have that back door escape even BEFORE marriage and all the financial rewards of marrying and divorcing as you mention. I'm not advocating porn, but I'm saying that's not the variable that's changed, social media and the smart phone are the new ingredient that's, frankly, made the entire world worse imo, not just dating. Think back you can to about only 8 years ago ish...how many less problems the world seemed to have, less hate, less adversity. And that was when smartphones starting becoming popular. FB already existed. Even then, it took a few years for it to go from being a fun combo into a wicked combonation eliciting such hate a despair and division amoungst all people.

Yeah, age doesn't mean he's bad or not up to date...but being up to date I think becomes less likely statistically. Thank you for sharing. I'm glad to hear a positive experience. oh. Is his English pretty good?

I doubt he was a doctor at 22. It takes about 10 to 14 years to graduate and become licensed as a doctor. Which would put him hovering around 80. I'll do that with Lifecare labs. Good idea. bike? you include motorbike/ clicks / scooters as a bike? RE: medication. What should I say to them exactly so that they don't force their meds onto my bill? I know that sounds like a dumb question, but I tried to stop them one time and I basically got a "no, no, can't" and got ignored. I didn't push it though. Usually when at a hospital you are not in the mood for arguing.

Hi. I have been told to find the Doctor, and not chase the hospital before. But I've used Memorial several times and have had decent experiences both times. Once for surgery for broken bones even. However, some months back I asked for urologists with a good name here in Pattaya area (I don't know the problem, that's why I'd be going in), and his was not one that was suggested. This will all be out of pocket, and I did research the consulatations of recomendations that were in BKK Hospital Pattaya and they were 3x more expensive just for the consultation alone, so I can only imagine the same if not worse for the care. Of course, you'll never find anything online really in Thailand about doctors. And I know this does not mean anything, and it's sort of even agist....but doing the math that he graduated 50 years ago to become a doctor he is squarely over 80 and that leaves me wondering how up to date he is with issues and solutions. I know that's not fair...but I feel it might be real. Might anyone have an experience to share, good or bad, with me before I commit to going to him?

welp. mailed the passport day after return from cambodia. Now just sitting in no-mans' land praying they get it back to me in time for the extension. And honestly, after doing my first border run, I'll be looking for different visa to use. Losing a full day to travel (and the discomfort of it)...it's probably costing me more in lost monies than saving me. Plus I got to watch one guy get denied getting back in when a new girl came in at shift change. I don't like those kind of surprises.

I haven't been home in about 3 years, but intend to fly back in sept/oct. I have one last land border run allowed which would take me to almost august. then I need to figure out a way to stay another 2 months ish. I don't qualify for retirement yet... and education, etc is overpriced for that short term. Wish it was as easy as places like the philipines, but hey...part of the fun I guess, right?

thanks so much for the info. I assumed all that would be covered when I sent it in for renewal...but reading this post I got a little nervous for a second. Thank you again for sharing.

Not the way people commit suicide. the ferocity, strength and determination to cut deep enough and fast enough to complete slit across the whole neck to die quietly in bed ? What, was he also Gaijin Samurai?

Yes US passport. You are both saying letter automatically is shipped back with the passports? (this makes sense, but governments have no common sense usually). US Embassy. Land border Cambodia. Jomtien immigration.

Yes, that's pretty much it. So according to you an additional letter will be needed from the Embassy will be needed for immigration to transfer the stamp at local immigration... ****(and not required to go to the border where I got the stamp, right?). so I will need to email the Embassy and make a special request for that letter to be mailed back to me along with my passports? this correct?

I am awaiting a new passport from the embassy now. I'm currently on 45 visa exempt. Are you saying I'll need to travel to the border to get re-stamped/ stamp transferred in order to get my next 30 day stamp at immigration?

I could actually go and eat Mcdonald's burgers for a month straight and not gain fat. Now, would my arteries be ok? No. But if stuck to their burgers and cheese only, you'd be fine weight wise....even lean up being protein and fat only. Now, part of the problem is the sauces they put on them and not just that its bread on the meat...they fill their processed bread with sugar too. But again, if you strictly ate their burgers, no buns, for a month you'd trim up. **now talking about their real meat. I think they sell two kinds still?

can you believe this...they are calling the participation trophy's kid's kids the "alpha generation"

That would be great. Thank you. By chance, can you tell me if you are looking more in the central pattaya beach area or more inland? My GF also is usually mistaken as Thai by other Thais, and the kids don't even speak Cambodian, only Thai. They've only been in Thai schools in their life as well.

Which school specifically gave you this information? Yes, I'm also under this impression that not just thai kids go for free. *** I was also told by a woman here with two kids that she has enrolled other kids for her friends and THEY went free because she enrolled them under her Blue Book from owning a condo. So I assumed we would have to pay something more in lines with what Britman was saying...3-4k per term if not under a blue book. 15,000 is a big difference from 8k. And I'm trying to learn what the total would be too, as Britman also mentions another 5k for what would be two terms I believe. If 15,000 includes ALL the fees for 6 months that's not too bad. But are you positive of being listed in a Blue Book to attend? this seems contrary to other info.

smart

thank you. that makes perfect sense. Anyway to check on which close schools are "better'? Or is that not even a thing and all goverment schools the same?

Basically 7/11 diet of processed foods, especially any and all drinks (95% of them all based around sugar ingredients) including fancy coffees and teas (that traditionally would be some of the best drinks for you dietary wise - but no longer). Same afflicition of western world

Post online you have come into BIG money. Post pics with hotter girls. Take her back when she calls and say you can't live without her. You want to share your new luck with her. Tell her want to start new bigger biz, but have to sell bikes first. Break up again, but this time SELL BIKES FIRST. lol

Nada?

I think you are saying the same thing...but junk food sugar, processed food sugar, sugar drinks (coffee's, teas included). And of course their are healthy fats and unhealthy fats. But fat in of itself is not bad. Grass fed butter, meats, fish, coconuts etc is great for you. And no, sugar in your fruit and real/natural foods not gonna kill you. But sugar in all your other foods most certainly will, or adding it into all your cooking sauces, etc.

What is the process (and is it even possible) to enroll Cambodian children into a thai government school? More details: the two kids are already enrolled into Thai schools and have been for 6 years already. They are more Thai than Cambodian in culture. They only have student cards, no other documents that I am aware of. However, the person sponsoring them will no longer be keeping them enrolled soon (details not required here). I am Farong, GF is Cambodian. I've looked up past posts here and it SEEMS like it would be possible to pay for them to attend locally, something like 3000 baht a term. But I'm unsure, and definitely 100% clueless on the process to get it done if it is possible. Can anyone share information on how to enroll them (in Pattaya/Jomtien area specifically if that matters). Thank you

sugar would definitely be the number one cause. The vehicle for the delivery of that is the ease of consumption of it in all the processed foods and drinks thru convenience stores now. Of course, lethargy or lack of exercise is number two. You can fight thru bad diet if you are a physical labor machine (see Michael Phelps diet when he was competing). 12,000 calories and a huge amount of carbs while at it. For breakfast, this is what he ate: 3 fried egg sandwiches with tomatoes, fried onions, mayo, lettuce, and cheese One five egg omelet One bowl of grits 3 slices of French toast dusted with powdered sugar 3 chocolate chip pancakes 2 cups of coffee It seems that his intention was to start the day off really well. For lunch, he took it a little easier: A pound of enriched pasta Two large ham-and-cheese sandwiches with mayo on white bread 1,000 calories of energy drinks For dinner, he had perhaps his lightest meal of the day: Another pound of pasta One 8-inch pizza Several energy drinks
