  1. I'm really over Thailand. If I needed fascism, I would have voted for Trump. I have no interest in anyone else's sexual orientation. It doesn't concern me. What DOES concern me is the constantly shifting position of Thai Immigration. The government does not want farangs who are not independently wealthy. The fact that this country has NOTHING to attract those "golden gooses", is far above the ability of a Thai bureaucrat to understand.
  2. Thailand has traditionally been a retirement haven for those with modest retirement income. No truly wealthy individual would move here with all of the draconian laws aimed at curtailing what you can say, write or consume. The wealthy head for enlightened European destinations.
  3. Outdated laws based on the most boneheaded American legal insanity. All of this fueled by astronomical American financial aid to the police sector.
  4. Racism and xenophobia is part of the much vaunted "Thai culture". The official party line is "deal with it or get out."
  5. Better life for WHOM???? I would rather be dead. Celibacy is NOT a "choice" it is the END of normal life.
  6. I can't imagine causing a stink over ten baht, unless I were so skint that I only had that much. Many people make their own problems. I routinely get ripped off for twenty baht or so. I let it ride. Not worth getting my blood pressure up, or causing a Thai to attack me.
  7. Brits who run down the NHS, ought to experience life as an American. Good luck on healthcare, you'll need it. Britain has something worth preserving and many Brits do not appreciate it.
  8. All my 90 day reports are done in person. Never asked for a TM30.
  9. Only USA lawmakers complain about the NHS. People who know nothing about it. One such idiot was up talking about how "filthy". the hospitals were. Moron confuses "Old" with "filthy". There IS a difference.
  10. Health insurance in Thailand is nothing but a scam. You pay exorbitant rates for insurance that may or may not cover any event. The preexisting conditions rules would disqualify most of us.
  11. Odd that an impoverished country like the Philippines can provide a National Health Insurance Program, while Thailand cannot. Some things beggar belief.
  12. Does anyone know about the availability of monoclonal antibody treatment in Thailand? It is reportedly very effective in the USA.
  13. Long time friends Sylvia & Wanda meet up in Heaven!! SYLVIA: Hi! Wanda. WANDA: Hi! Sylvia. How'd you die?... SYLVIA: I froze to death. WANDA: How horrible! SYLVIA: It wasn't so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm & sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you? WANDA: I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV. SYLVIA: So, what happened? WANDA: I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched, and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere, and finally I became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died. SYLVIA: Too bad you didn't look in the freezer -- we'd both still be alive.
  14. Yummy!!! Just what I've always dreamed of......meatless chicken. ????
  15. This cannot be a good thing. The system works well as it is. They should leave it alone. Everytime they make an "improvement" they tear down the whole house of cards.
  16. I got nothing but an acknowledgement that I had registered. Glad that I went ahead and applied directly with BPH. Got an SMS the next day and vaccinated the day after that.
