    When people get old they don’t take initiative like a sick younger person would. They kind of just sit around or make it there and not really understand what is going on, getting lost in the shuffle. Someone needs to go to the hospital and guide them around to appointments, and advocate for them as it were, or it just never gets done.

    Walk towards the beach. Need a map?

    You don’t need running water. Just wash your hair in the sink with a bucket. Put some soap and 70% alcohol (optional) in a bowl of water and wipe your body with a wet towel. You can pee in the sink and sit on a trash can for the toilet. Just crap in a trash bag and put it out for trash collection. it’s all in your head. Biggest hassle is buying a couple gallons of water at the 7-11.

    Maybe try a go fund me with the treatment plan cost attached, rather then just asking for money with no documentation. It’s pretty easy to set up. It gets in the news or something it’s paid.

    Stop your yapping. One can do anything until caught.

    Maybe get a written script from the dr so they don’t end up getting confused and taking the wrong medications.

    I once had a driver pull over and ask a security guard where the airport link station was when we were under the station platform.

    I did that and he said the app did not work. All the while I was watching on my phone app. It worked fine. Somebody’s stupid.

    They send a text, you verify by clicking the link is one way. Every step you agree to the likelihood of giving more info increases (starting with talking at all). Psych 101.

    It could be anybody. They turn off the app and it’s a stranger. Get ready to rock n’ roll on that mf’cker if you need to.

    Forget scanning things. Take a color picture with your phone. Turn the photo on your phone under edit, save it as landscape orientation so it uploads and fills the whole entire space. You don’t want ratty pics up there. Take photo’s of documents.

    Silom Sauna

    JimTripper replied to Wongkitlo's topic in Pattaya

    The Silom area has a big gay component. Many people may not realize it because it has the patpong area there. There are condo buildings around there with that theme, so consider it if looking to rent a place.

    When I do that the taxi guy is always waiting at the ticket booth. The ticket is handed to the taxi guy from the desk clerk.

    That’s what it says. Learn to read.

    I did a 500 baht from bkk to downtown, no meter. Made sense at the time. I agreed with taking the tollway and he paid two tolls. It came out to about 300 for the fare plus tolls. Plus or minus a few baht (was not interested in wringing every few baht out of the guy). I assumed he had some other back door incentive to not use the meter. It’s probably just easier to use the meter.
  16. JimTripper
    Did the 500 include tollway fees or not?

    I thought ekkamai was mostly middle class Thais
  18. JimTripper
    I thought it maxed out at 20k

    Learn to enjoy getting old.

    Live in separate rooms.

    Or they just move on into Cambodia (Sihanoukville).

    People are not big on politics here. They just ignore it for some reason. Seems taboo. I one had a discussion with someone about American politics and it felt odd, like I needed to watch what I was saying before I said it. I think it stems from the defamation law culture.

    Seems like it would be normal if played in Thailand.

    I like the idea of masks on public transport even without Covid. I’m breathing the funk of 100’s of people in an enclosed space. That’s worth putting a mask on. Nobody talks anyhow everyone’s on their phone.

    It's just a small fine anyhow, right? Could not be more then 1-2k baht mee thinks.
