Thanks for the info it puts my mind at rest. Panic over, whew!

Just checked with my Issan wife if she would assist me in dislodging kidney stones, she is currently laughing hysterically and tears are running down her face

I believe that The UK does not have a bilateral tax agreement with Thailand that is why UK pensions are frozen if you live on Thailand

Maybe it will stimulate all the disgustingly fat old men I see in Pattaya to lose some weight.

????Unfortunately it is also true of physical castration. The suprarenal(Adrenal) glands also produce testosterone and provide energy. The person can still get an erection and can ejaculate since the majority of seminal fluid comes from the prostate gland.

I have nothing but contempt for US Air National Guard since they destroyed UK tanks in Iraq (the family of one of the men they murdered lived down my street) and shot down UK aircraft. They are undisciplined Cowboys. In a live fire excercise in the UK one of my colleagues instructed the US aircraft to break off and return to base. The response of the Jerk flying the aircraft was "I'll just have one more try*, he put ground personnel in extreme danger.

point to Note CASTRATION DOES NOT STOP SEXUAL PREDATORS FROM RE-OFFENDING Castrated men can still get an erection Castrated men can still ejaculate because the bulk of the semen comes from the prostate gland (Prostatic Fluid) Many sexual predators do not do it for pure sexual pleasure they do it for the pleasure of dominating a helpless victim seeing their victim's fear and terror gives the predator an intellectual buzz. They are psychopaths.

Castration does not stop a man from getting an erection. It was demonstrated many years ago where many men went on to re offend after chemical castration, I believe it was in one of the Nordic countries. Often with these men it is not about sexual gratification it's about the sense of power and pleasure they get from having a helpless victim

Not top to bottom just the top those at the bottom have to do as they are told. It's the politicians, high government officials and higher police officials. Corruption here starts at the top the people who work for them have to toe the line or lose their jobs. It seems that the educated classes are the most corrupt here.

It's not a dowry A dowry is paid by the brides family to the husband to hold in escrow for the wife in primitive societies where women are not allowed to inherit. I.e. the closest male relative inherits her husband's wealth and property. The dowry is then used to support the widow. In cases where the man decides to divorce his wife (in those same societies women cannot divorce their husbands) the dowry is used to support the divorced woman. This is a corruption of an honourable tradition called SinSod where the wife is adopted into the husbands family and the wife's family is reimbursed the cost of her upbringing. It is only paid once, if the woman has been married before or has children the it should not be paid

You mean Black (or white) Pudding made in Yorkshire. The generic name of Blood Pudding let's the cat out of the bag that Yorkshiremen are actually Klingons in disguise. I'm having a devil of a job getting my wife to serve me bloodworms, Thais just don't seem to understand foreign quisine

My wife is Issan too the stuff she eats frightens me????

Pulse oximetry is taken at the finger tips. What they mean is that his oxygen saturation levels were very low probably below 90% which means he could have died in prison if not treated. He probably has a severe pulmonary disorder or severe congestive heart failure. This answers the question why he came back. He wanted to come home before he died.

I actually found the testosterone pump more convenient than the sachets

I've had low testosterone and been on replacement therapy since I was 18 initially took tablets daily until it was proven that the gut juices destroyed the testosterone and oral medication is absolutely useless. I then progressed to injections (I have used Nebido and Ethantate and didn't find any difference) when I was 28 which allowed me to grow a beard (which I have kept ever since) the downside was aching at the injection site which was sometimes debilitating even though I used a fine needle. As I grew older an inherited muscle wasting disease became apparent in my 40's so the muscle mass in my legs where I gave the injection decreased The injection itself is painless, just have to get over the yuck factor of sticking a needle into your leg but is is the fact that you inject 1ml of thick oily fluid into the muscle which breaks the muscle fibres and causes the ache. Moved on to gel quite a few years ago and found it messy but painless, I just have ensure that I wash my hands thoroughly after applying and my wife or children do not touch the area of skin where it is applied because it can cause hirsuteness and early puberty. It can be washed off after 6 hours so I shower, apply it at 8am and have a shower at 2pm. Now I am used to it I find it much more convenient and less painful than injections. Point to note is that I have had air con installed in the bathroom after the first summer I spent here (44 degrees) because the gel has less effect when applied to sweaty skin (I always sweated profusely after a shower in that summer). I am looking to source the gel in the North East of Thailand where we live now.

Phew! you are right it is complicated, but the visible facts seem to be that he did good for the lower and poorer classes of Thailand. The cases of financial corruption seem to be very complex and his gains could have set him and his family as the richest (Cash Rich) dynasty Thailand ever had, which is a definite challenge to certain quarters and had to be suppressed. Hated by the wealthy (perhaps because he wanted to tax them more) and loved by the poor (because he would spend the taxes on them). Managed the country to good business principles and brooked no dissent to the point of autocracy but respected by businesses without 'influence'. I have noticed a trend over the years where any non European or Nordic country which tries to set up universal healthcare (as he appears to have attempted) tends to have a military coup or increased 'Rebel' activity no matter whether the government is left or right. Healthcare is a multi trillion dollar industry and universal healthcare worldwide could impact severely on those profits. 'Illegal' drugs another trillion dollar industry whose profits would fall. Terrorists are actually death cults backed by the wealthy of some middle eastern countries trying to expand world influence perhaps the army intervened because they preferred a nice easy life and wanted to cut back on the war against terrorism so it becomes a reason for bigger financial support without actually having too much hassle. (My opinion and I would appreciate it if the Trolls that seem to pervade this forum would cut back on their insults and derision)

Thanks Billd766 I will settle down for the long haul it sounds very complicated and highly political

I am relatively new to this forum and to Thailand (4 years). Can someone please post some links to the history of this man and why he is so vilified. I understand he was elected then deposed by a coup and he implemented the Thai healthcare system in use today.

How is it the inside of a hospital? Please point out what items lead you to this conclusion

Good for him white/beige carpet takes a lot of keeping clean and stains easily. Laminate flooring is easy to maintain and clean. Obviously the previous incumbent was more concerned about showing how much status he held by installing a high maintenance flooring (along with other things) to impress visitors

I've had dealings with extreme users (the ones who smoke 20 or 30 a day) and this explains their madness, stupidity and totally incomprehensible behavior. It may also explain their nuisance need for loud noise and music since heavy metals damage the Aural (Hearing nerve) link to the brain.

Here's a what if. What if the supervisor was following his bosses standing orders and has been thrown to the wolves. Has he been suspended with or without pay?

I don't like to brag (well I do really) but hopefully this won't affect us 'cos we've got a borehole now which takes us off grid. This summer before we got the borehole we were over 20 hours a day without water with no indication whatsoever when it would be on.

The only way to compete is to make Thai products the highest quality at competitive prices, so that buyers are confident if they 'Buy Thai' it is guaranteed to be the best. People will tend to avoid cheap and cheerful Chinese imports if they are confident they will get quality value for money.

I don't understand the controversy here. The pick up driver was too close and in the wrong, essentially driving in a dangerous manner. Therefore he or his insurance should pay. It doesn't matter whether the car he rear ended was a Rolls Royce or a Fiat Punto. The wealth of the .Rolls Royce driver is irrelevant
