Am very much in favour of mask wearing (Couldn't understand why <deleted> Boris said it was no longer mandatory in shops and on public transport although that changed today) but couldn't understand the mask wearing on motorbikes as your not very likely to give it or get it at 30 kph the Mrs put me right (again) its mandatory outside of your house with the exception of the above at least there's no dither about it, not seen a farang in ages but not seen any mask less Thais either TBH

Then Shot ????????

Ya not kidding there M8 ????

I agree totally Farangs shouldn't but I think the point is the cops wouldn't pocket the fine in "my" country

Sounds a bit like the Movie Serpico

Bit like a fronthander but round the back i guess ????????

Apologies but i thought the OP was about freeing up some or all of the monies tied up in a bank account and one of the ways to do this is from what i can see by using an Agent

???????? will do, ???? Red bull heir, armfuls of bent watches, Joe Ferrari, seizing power at the barrel of a gun ???????? all down to me not being Ar%ed to sit in immigration for days and tying money up all year

Yeah and it costs a whopping 500 baht for the agent to get the 90 day report sorted, or you could just take it out of the 800,000 Baht you dont need to leave festering in the bank all year ????

Just booked with Etihad and you do need to upload your negative PCR test onto their verified to fly page, I thought the PCR test was a UK gov stipulation so I would have used emirates or Qatar if id known, Just a quick question I;m living near Chumpare anybody know the closest place to get a recognised PCR test that is fit for flying ? TIA

Hi I'm thinking of booking a holiday for a week or two to Kho Chang, I've managed to talk the Mrs out of going up mountains, beautiful views and the likes (I didn't come half way round the world to freeze my noms off ????). Wondering if anyone has been there recently ? are the hotels, restaurants and bars open ? (recommendations welcome) we went about 15 yrs ago to the Chang resort which was the other side of the island to the ferry terminal as i remember, I'm also wondering about the best way to get to Trat from Isaan (Loei province) dont fancy driving and any restrictions on getting onto the island (both double vaccinated me 2 AZ in UK Mrs 1 sinovac 1 AZ in Thailand 12 year old 1 vax) Thanks in advance for any answers / advise

Touch some wood !!

Thanks I've just noticed the English bit on the bottom of the instructions on mine it says Dosage (Didn't even know it was medicinal) 3 to 4 tablespoons prior to each meal ???? no wonder i cant remember having me tea ????

I have tried drinking Low Cow with the locals, relatives, builders and others but cant really do it even with the soda, so I was Just wondering if any body has tried Sip et Tiger which was recommended by the sister in law, you marinate the Low Cow in it for about a week and it becomes just about drinkable (Like red rocket fuel) ???? I'm thinking of taking some packets of Sip et Tiger home for the sons in law but as i cant get Low Cow in the UK i dont know what to marinate it in the closest i can think is probably paint stripper or possibly paraffin any recommendations would be gratefully recieved ????

Kyle Rittenhouse ????, Red Bull boy. the Boll%ck who crashed into the bus TIT ?? I also cant wait for the result (although i have an idea what it might be) ????

Hoe ???? meant How ???? glad she cant read Engrish

Spot on didn't come half way round the world to learn hoe to use a washing machine its all in Thai anyway

Whitey ???? Brilliant like being in an episode of Love Thy Neighbor

Pre diabetes Is that just diet controlled then ? Could you tell me what conditions they dont cover as i suppose it could be anything or everything

Hope you keep on keeping well, I just retired here, UK 60 just looking into medical insurance but unfortunately have the usual pre conditions T2 insulin dependent, med controlled BP but good to know there are good government hospitals that can be utilised in an emergency without having to flog a kidney to pay for it ????????

Sorry I'm a little confused I am assuming you are not Thai so did you go to the KK Srinagarind hospital using your private insurance or just walk in ? and is it that easy to get an appointment to see a consultant be admitted and get the radiation treatment, follow ups etc. as a walk in ? Hoping you are still well, my Mrs was treated there for breast cancer and her oncologist is fantastic

What did the exclude due to blood pressure sugar and cholesterol ? did they not offer additional pre-existing condition coverage ? is it an International company plan or a Thai plan ?

I'll definitely try and do the Cambodian first just hope the Mrs doesn't find out ????

Many thanks for the detailed reply and kind words, yes Type 2 insulin dependent, when i said couldn't be sourced at the main hospital in Khon kean i meant the generics, the European manufactured Atorvastatin, insulin (Novo rapid and Levemir) and Ozempic can be sourced but are pretty expensive. I didn't consider registering with a diabetic clinic i will inquire at the local hospital but from what I've seen (I live in Issan) most of the people i meet or the Mrs knows who are diabetic dont test (No testing kits) and only get a blood test every 3 months so god knows how they manage their glucose levels, the Thai doctors seem very reticent to prescribe meds that in the west would be considered normal to prescribe (I have met a lot of Thai people with gout who cant even get Allopurinol prescribed) , i intend to return to the UK a couple of times a year and hopefully get blood and eye tests flu jab covid booster done whilst there

Had shingles a couple of years ago the worst thing by far was the post herpetic neuralgia (nerve pain after shingles) and the meds i got to treat it (Think they were some kind of anti depressants ???? Gabapentin) still get a bit now and again in my shoulder but off the tablets thankfully
