Why shouldn't someone want to get his hormones tested? It isn't all about sexual performance, you know.
There are all sorts of reasons, and if you'd bothered to give even a passing glance at the results he posted, one of the most important ones was staring you in the face - PSA. That's the most significant marker of possible future prostate cancer problems.
Luckily for the OP, his PSA is in good shape. And if you'd bothered to read the first thread (which I have) you'd see he has had a testosterone deficiency for years due to a cyst in his pituitary gland which caused it and he's already been having testosterone replacement treatment for 15 years or more. That would be why he sensibly had his PSA checked.
It really does pay to apply a bit of brain and reading comprehension before making inappropriate comments. All that does is reflect badly on you.

Why would you want to do that when you should know that if you and your wife have not been vaccinated you both stand a very good chance of becoming infected and hospitalised?
surely you can wait at least until you get a jab or two for the safety of all.WHAAAAATTTT?
How could you possibly jump to that conclusion? You seem to have a very vivid imagination! Let me explain, because you don't seem to have grasped the facts.
1) We get into the wife's daughter's car and wearing masks, drive about 45 kms without stopping. It takes about 30 minutes.
2) We leave the car and join the family. One sister is a biochemist with a PhD and travels around Asia and Europe lecturing, and her younger brother is head nurse/manages/big boss of a local health clinic.
3) Are you suggesting that if Covid were present in the family, that neither of those highly qualified people associated with health would not have warned us not to come? Or that other family members would not have done so?
Jeez, you might want to stop being so prescriptive when you have no knowledge of the actual situation ????

Maybe the people in the village wont let you in, they think all farang are infected
Yes, a chap I know slightly was on the MRT in Bangkok the other day and two schoolgirls refused to sit next to him, saying 'Farang na glua' (scary).
That's what happens when you have a superstitious, gullible and badly educated people who believe whatever they are told.

I'm just wondering what happens if you want to travel to another province on the high risk list.
For example, I live in Nonthaburi and want to travel with my wife to her family home in Pathum Thani (way out in the sticks though, only about 5 houses spread over about 1 kilometre).
It isn't very clear if we will be able to or not.

Sorry, not clear. How long does it take on a ferry from Phuket pier to Ko lanta island (I won't have a car)
I don't think the ferries from Phuket to Lanta are operating at the moment. They certainly weren't in January. Best to check the current situation yourself.
Other than that, take a van from Phuket or you might be be to get a ferry to Ao Nang and then Lanta, but as I say, check for yourself.

The wife and I were on Koh Lanta in the last week of January. It was very quiet indeed.
Many restaurants were closed or only opened at 2pm or 5 pm. Luckily we found some crackers.
The Irish Embassy is always excellent but doesn't open until 2 pm.
The Fat Turtle is nearby down a little lane off the main road, and opens at 12 noon. We didn't eat there, so can't comment on the food.
Tuesday Morning is reputedly excellent, but when we got there in the evening they had run out of the fish we wanted, so instead we went to El Greco with a really lovely owner.
Way down the island on the way to the national park is an excellent Thai place called 'Saam Pee Nong' on a sharp left hand bend overlooking Bamboo Beach - excellent crab fried rice and black pepper prawns.
If you want real southern Thai food I recommend Krua Dan Thai just south of Saladan and about 150 metres south of El Greco on the opposite side. That had truly excellent food, the spiciest ever. They gave me the farang menu which doesn't have the really spicy food on it but I insisted on the Thai menu because I can eat hotter than most Thais can. I wasn't disappointed. My wife said it was some of the best Thai food she'd ever eaten.
We went there twice, and it was a late discovery or we'd have gone more often.
However, the best place we found by far was the Shanti Beach House, run by a really nice French guy called Ben and his Thai wife.
Their food was excellent, very reasonably priced and he went out of his way to help. It's on Klong Toab beach, about a mile or so north of the Tesco Express which is about half way down the island and we went 4 times, it was so good.
A few photos - an Irish Embassy breakfast,
the menu at the Shanti Beach House (his lemon tart and chocolate tart are wonderful),
the crab fried rice and black pepper prawns at Saam Pee Nong, the front of Sam Pee Nong with the very small name at the top of the sign
the first meal at Krua Dan Thai with omelette, kua kling and Thai beef salad (yam neua)
the frontage of Krua Dan Thai taken on a dull day
Shanti Beach House - penang barracuda and some fried fish no one was sure of the name of but botth excellent
Shanti again - grilled duck breast red curry - amazing!
Shanti lemon tart
Greek salad and some aubergine things at El Greco
Lamb gyro at El Greco
Krua Dan Thai again - gaeng luang in the pot (fish curry with coconut shoots), more beef salad and soft-shelled crab curry (poo nim, you eat the lot)
I put 4 kgs on that week! Worth every one too! ????

No EMS in the UK. He wants to send meds FROM the UK, not the other way round! ????
He's be as well using the Royal Mail to send the meds International Tracked and Signed, or just International Tracked if he's not worried about needing to sign for them.
