Reminds me of my first (and last) Aeroflot flight out of Don Muang many moons ago. Burly air hostesses shouting, "Hurry up! Sit down now!! We want to fly!!"

In my two score and ten life in Bahn Nawk, we have had a total of around a dozen dogs pass through the yard. We are currently hosting four, down from a peak of eight. Out of all these, three of them have been anti-social or plain vicious with one expiring naturally, presumably of bad nature, while the more recent one was shipped off to Sakhon Nakhon by my wife after it almost took the face of our then two year-old. Note that before this, he was "great with kids." The third one is is just plain bah and although gimpy and scarred from attacking one too many passing dogs, salaengs and motorbikes, still insists on picking losing fights. I hate the bloody thing more than the neighbors. I have dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't trust them either.

Neither do their breeders.

Just don't get that stuff in her eye. ...or yours.

Having a pub favored by pikeys in my mate's neigborhood, I can relate with that sweeping generalization. The dirty, dinged up BMW 7's parked half on the pavement or the Burberry seat covers on their Land Rover Disco is a dead giveaway. The pittie tied up outside is simply a bonus.

Good point well made. The pittie that languishes poolside in an 12-bedroom Beverly Hills sprawl or has the run of a 10-acre estate in Berkshire has an inarguably better life than the one chained on the balcony of an apartment in the Mission District or cooped up in a Toxteth high-rise.

Me too, I thought this thread was all about lovely pitties?

So, in a nutshell, he's the cosseted "son-of-my-father" who is bereft of any honest, real-world life experience while possessing the social awareness of a peat bog.

Followed by an incredibly obscure and irrelevant justification. So a few delightfully entertaining Hollywood stars have the same breed of dog as a lot of socially challenged people with questionable motives? Consider your point NOT made.

Yes, isn't it?

I recently had a USG KUB (kidney, urethra, bladder ultrasound) procedure to identify a slightly high RBC count in a urinalysis. The urologist identified a single kidney stone so I will modify my diet and get a follow-up in 3 months time. Another urologist refused to do the USG KUB and insisted that a CT scan would be his first choice for making a diagnosis. Funnily enough, it was the cheaper government hospital urologist who was insisting on the more expensive CT scan whereas the more expensive private hospital urologist was happy with the lower cost ultrasound for a primary investigation. Posting this for the OP as it seems the ultrasound may be adequate for a 'first look' with CT scan follow up if merited? On another note, I am 66 and have been siting to pee for decades and I am still not German.

Yet here you are, trawling the Health & Medicine forum and giving advice.

There are subtle differences between national public holidays, government holidays and spurious days off pulled from their butts by a reviled, loser, "caretaker" cabinet under the illusion that the people will be thankful.

Meh... 3-day no holds barred, deep dive, crash course is the way to properly evaluate your future long term mattress thrasher. If she hasn't begged off because she 'Have to go to temple' or 'I have key room my friend' or otherwise left you with blue balls, you've got yourself a keeper. Why wait until you've bought her a house before using a back door?

There are neither brothels or prostitutes in Pattaya so just another member talking out their ass.

Hah! You've obviously never been to the Klong Toei sums or else you wouldn't talk such utter tosh.

Thailand isn't "a country supporting Russian involvement in Ukraine." Hope this helps.

No. No you don't.

Pointe Noire, Republic of Congo about 20 years ago, already boarded and a big storm front is approaching the airport. The Captain announces a departure delay of about 40 minutes with the option to remain onboard or sprint quickly back to the terminal before the rain gets heavy and wait it out in comparative comfort. My mate and I debated for a minute regarding the hassle of their 'security' checks but decided one last icy cold Kronenbourg in the bar was worth it. We legged it to the bar, slightly bedraggled, just in time to see the Captain and co-pilot raising their beers in a polite 'Cheers'.

Sounds to me like @circa02's cadging for a free upgrade.

Good point. Another little known farang wallet saver.

Aye caramba, it was a joke/sarcasm!!!! ???? AseanNow... Realm of the gullible and home of the cyber curtain twitcher.

Up here in Bahn Nawk, there's a Serenade store in the mall where the AIS hi-so's go for 3-in-1 coffee and canapes. The regular malls that host Big C, Lotus's and the like have Telewiz stores where the AIS hoi-poloi get their smartphone jollies.

For counter service from a mobile phone provider? Good grief...
