If you feel that her quality of life has gone - it is kinder to let her go. I have faced this situation countless times - with my own animals, but mainly with my patients. It would be interesting to know what the diagnosis was. (I expect renal failure). I am not a fan of the 'Thai way' of letting nature take its course - I think it extends the suffering in many cases. If you can find a vet who will euthanise her, that would be preferable.

Nice try chump..

I like the Chang shirts - but I would never drink the beer!

wow! Tony is no longer an ex-con. Now he is a celebrity!

Kudos to the OP - he puts a lot of time and thought into his posts. But... If he was trapped in a cave - I would definitely not (in the words of Leon Russell) - "roll away the stone"

Good play by the orange dude. Thailand was initially slapped with a 36% tariff* (=trade deficit penalty) Now a 19% penalty (paid by US consumers) seems like a bargain. All of this to save/develop non-existent US manufacturing.

I think such a small lawn mower would be hard to find anywhere. Anybody requiring a 12 inch cut would most likely use a brush cutter/whipper snipper/line strimmer with a 12 inch steel blade. 4-6 K for a Hyundai 4 stroke, up to 10 for a Honda, and much less for other Chinese models. Lawn mowers are not very popular in Thailand - and are very expensive if you do find one.

What a palaver these extensions can be! I am glad (and realise that I am very fortunate ) that I have a Thai Privilege visa . The 90 day reports are annoying, but these extension experiences would drive me crazy!

I have 2 Krungsri bank accounts - one from Pattaya, and one in my home town. That makes it simple to transfer between accounts if required. My K-bank account was frozen because of this. I had to go to AIS to 'change' my SIM details - the number remains the same , then I had to return to the my K-bank branch to get my account reactivated - no problem!

what a tosser.. "Of course, you realise this means war..."

While I understand copyright infringements, and theft - I think that it must be said that many people (especially tourists) want to buy these copy items. 2000 Baht for a fake designer handbag vs 100,000oBaht for the 'original' item - it is a no-brainer for me! I bought my wife a Louis Vuitton bag - she already had a copy. The 2 are very hard to tell apart (almost indistinguishable to me!)

This is true. However you are reading news curated for foreigners - so of course this will be presented to you. What you don't see is the mainstream Thai news, with most of the misdemeanours/crimes being perpetrated by Thai citizens. The likelihood that a high proportion of crimes in Thailand are committed by foreigners is low. There are bad people everywhere in the world.

May I suggest you buy yourself a sense of humour? It makes the world a bit less depressing.

Suggesting a pair of concrete boots? Too much?

I ran. Very droll!
