    Being celibate, and being always in a state of readiness, sometimes when I see some bird flying around, I feel such an urge to slip my hand up around her feathers, and stroke her Tibio-tarsal articulation.

    ????????????????

    The euphemism to end all euphemisms.

  2. I am going through this process currently.

    I have left everything to people here in Thailand but, in your case, with beneficiaries in the UK and Thailand it is advisable to have a separate will for the distribution of your UK assets. A simple handwritten will would suffice. Do you have someone you could entrust to act as executor for you in the UK?

     

    I only have bank accounts in Thailand and the UK to worry about. I have listed the details in full for those accounts in my Thai will.

     

     Gifts of personal items can be listed in your will, there is no need for a separate will to cover these. 

     

     An executor can be a beneficiary.  

  3. I am currently going through this process at present. My requirements are a bit different in that I still have some assets in the UK

    I am using Isaan Lawyers in Korat as already recommended by @lungbing.

    The biggest issue for me has been the appointment of an executor. I really don't know anyone here with sufficient grasp of English (my UK asssets) or the ability to liaise with the authorities, banks etc (both Thai and UK assets) to be able to deal with the paperwork.

     Isaan Lawyers have roughly estimated around 10,000 baht for this service which I think is good value for peace of mind.

     Incidently, you ask whether a beneficiary can be a witness to the will? That is not permitted.     

     

     

  4. I buy my Canon cartridges from www.invadeit.co.th

     

    Whether they are the cheapest or not, I don't know but they are genuine Canon cartridges and with English as a first language any issues can be quickly resolved. 

    They are usually prepared to get an item in for me even if it is something they don't carry in stock.

  5. Firstly, congratulations on one of your shortest titles for a topic yet. A mere four words, impressive. Keep up the good work. ????

     

    A very relatable theory as far as I am concerned. I confess my moods are very much influenced by external events however hard I try to remain unaffected. Serious question; how do you avoid that? Buddhist acceptance? Gallic insouciance? Cussed indifference?   

    Hope may spring eternal but it can be bl**dy difficult to maintain sometimes.

  8. On my visits to Bangkok I often use taxis and have only once had a problem but that was a driver who thought I didn't know my way around and thought he could take me on the 'scenic route'.

     In truth the traffic has always been so heavy that the chances of speeding have been about as remote as my chances of buying a winning lottery ticket. ????

    Originally I was planning to get my treatment in the UK or Australia (covid permitting) but then I was lucky to get a discount package here in Thailand. In hindsight, I think I was very lucky for some of the very reasons you raise. I had a catheter fitted for 7 days and suffered urinary urgency for a while too post catheter. If I'd had to travel in that condition it would have been very uncomfortable/difficult. I think you are doing the right thing in getting the treatment here, unless you can stay overseas for a few months i.e. your home country, before returning to Thailand. Perhaps, you could find a Thai government hospital that provides the treatment that you need. I assume you are considering TURP. Just do your research on which gov't hospital the recommended surgeon works at. You'll find that a lot of very highly respected doctors work both at private and government hospitals here.   

    The urologist that I have seen in Bangkok privately does work at Chulalongkorn Hospital and I did attempt to see her there but despite arriving at 6:45am the place was utterly besieged. I waited for over 4 hours just to make an appointment to see her but eventually gave up. 

     With the benefit of hindsight, I probably should have stuck it out until I could make an appointment but it was the morning following my visit overnight to the ER to deal with my water retention and I wasn't at my best.

    @Farmerslife have you mentioned a cystoscopy to your dr or have they suggested this procedure prior to your surgery? Just asking.

    I had both a flexible and a rigid cystoscopy when I had bladder cancer. The flexible one was a breeze but the rigid one went horribly wrong and I bled like a stuck pig for 8 days after.

     I'm in no hurry to repeat the experience.

    If they indicate a 3 day stay should suffice Id say they were not making plans to do any extensive cutting,will be 5 days

    Think you are wasting time and money in Th,better off every which way  India

     

    By the way extensive,not very positive comment on TURP alternative is being removed on Facebook..that being Rezum...a right con job

    Where's your usual optimism? 

     

    " ....... extensive cutting ......"  

    Jeez, I want them to reduce the size of my prostate, not disembowel me.???? Being eviscerated ain't on my list of things to do on turning 70.

    If both the doctors that I have seen suggest a 3 day stay for after the operation should be adequate then I'll bow to their superior knowledge and anyway the more days in hospital the more expensive it becomes. 

     

      As for India? I know it works for you and that's great but it's a non-starter for me. I know next to nothing about the country and even less about its healthcare.

    A 2 hour flight maybe, but by the time I had added on journeys at either end, booking in, clearing immigration etc I am looking at a good 6 hours or more. The prospect of doing this after an operation when I might need the toilet every 20 minutes, or perhaps with a catheter in place, fills me with dread. It just isn't practical for me.

    Only concern is especially with cheaper quotes would be too timid with cutting tool,just do enough to get you bye,or cut out enough to stop you ever going again for repeat.

      Do not know if its a package you are buying or just the op,suppose you could manage at home,all you are doing is waiting for bleeding to stop

    The three quotes I obtained were all for a 3 day stay. Thereafter any additional treatment, I imagine,  I would be expected to delve into my pocket again.

  13. Slight, fine boned, graceful, femine but never take that as a sign of weakness. My wife packs a mean haymaker, always best to keep a safe distance when she's riled and my girlfriend has a fearless quiet determination. She refuses to back down if she feels she is in the right, true strength of character.

    There is no way fat and flabby trumps slender and elegant as far as I am concerned. If I had wanted the elephantine I would stayed in the West.
