Unprecedented six-day holiday leads to tourist boom in Pattaya
Shop mak replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
All roads was packed into the city center. Third road all the way up to North Pattaya road. Beach road allowed parking on both sides again, and the sand was packed with tourists. 20230728_205034.mp4 -

Thai Android users lose money in ThaID app scam orchestrated via SMS
Shop mak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Android default settings don't allow APK, until user manually click to allow third party APK. User also get a warning before APK is allowed. Have many APK myself, none have been flagged by any scanning. Think it's more about carelessness, naivity, and curiousity to click on any Link in a sms. -

How to handle Thai women becoming “attached” right away?
Shop mak replied to ASEANTraveler's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Mistake #1. You too fast. Start with exchange Line id, and chat when she get home after work. After a week or two, meet near her work for some coffee or thai street food. Did you make it crystal clear first time you talked that you seek: Friends first. Not relationship. Not sex. (Note to you: no touch of any kind) Hold on, that's just too fast. Thai style is slowly. Friends first. Coffee first. A simple meal. Not restaurant dining. Nice, but start as chat friends first. But this confuse them. You contradict yourself here, as you might been close to 1st or 2nd base. Most women now think you want (sex) relationship. Don't bring her home. Meet in public. When you're alone with her, and some kiss and touch here and there initiated - Heck, even I would want more. Yes, she smile, nod and laugh, but language barrier is huge. You lucky if she understood 50-75% of what you said. You cross the border for what friends can do. Don't touch, hug or kiss. Meet in public only, not home to your or her place. Only if she bring a friend (chaperone). You act / imply by your actions that you want something more. Poor communication from the start, you might has mislead her then (and more by your kissy touchy ...) for her to think that 'maybe he want a girlfriend'. You blur the border for friends vs what people in relationship can do. You create misunderstanding and hope. Don't blame the women. You created this by your actions. -

Public Urged to Prepare for Emergent ’Langya’ Virus
Shop mak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Cue: Face-diapers soon required, again. For 3 years this time too? -
2 male suspects and 1 female suspects, none are talking. The investigating police have uncovered an irregular financial transaction totalling over 2 million Baht. https://thepattayanews.com/2023/07/10/update-pattaya-police-interrogate-suspects-in-disappearance-of-german-businessman-hans-peter-mack/ Follow the money. Business transaction gone wrong? Young gf/wife together with a new lover, behind this? Can only speculate at this point, but RTP will solve this case within this week.

OP, she's in severe pain. Stay at home is not a option, as only morphine and tramadol tablets are allowed at home without nurse supervision. In her end of life stage, this is not adequate. Option A, hire a nurse who can give her morphine and maybe fentanyl by IV at home. 25,000+ per month, + medication and heart monitor etc. Option B, admit her to private hospital if you can afford to pay 50,000+ per day. Cost vary so ask all hospitals. My mother died of cancer, doctor gave her 3 months to live. She passed away after 3 weeks only.

My Pinay girlfriend is wasting money
Shop mak replied to Jaycomet's topic in Philippines General Chat
OP, maybe she wasting money - maybe not. Does she live together with family and many siblings, maybe some baby too? Mother is a housewife, father has a low income work? Her mother would nag your "gf" almost every day, trust me on that. As you already been kind generous, too kind, they think you have lots of money. I have lived together with a family in philippines over a year, I seen how much they spend on just essentials, easily 25k++ if 8 people in the household. IF this sound similar to your "gf", she's not wasting your money. Her family do! On essentials. Red flag that she keep her friends hidden on FB.. I would ask for her fb password, or at least that she change her settigs, so friends become visible. If she decline this, you walk. If you deside to continue send money each week @2,500 that she Has To manage on for a week. Make clear that there will not be additional transfers. Been there, done that, I would only send 5k per month. You known her for 2 years, but only spend a few months together ... More than likely that she has other suitors. You don't really have a gf, you are only her "guest". Now, if she live alone, rent for bed-spacer room are less than 1k. Does she work? Although extreme unemployment, work can be found, but monthly salary as low as 3k. When other pinays survive on 3k alone in survival mode, your "gf" say she need nore than 10k monthly, I also agree that she likely up to no good, just milking you - IF she live alone. She's wasting your money. If it was me, I would walk away. Philippines most be the easiest country to find a real gf, but if you don't stay together with her, don't expect to be her only one, Mahal. Next time when you find a new gf, buy some piglets as this is a very easy good income for the family, everyone love Lechon. Alternative a small sari-sari store at their home, smaller earnings but still. -
A Gucci man purse ......

Asian woman age 43 might already entered the (not) wonderful new world called Menopause. A man age 71 would likely need some 'help' in the lower department, to get wood. Both would likely prefer to do something else than boinking, boning, buttering the biscuit, dipping the wick, feeding the kitty, filling the cream donut, sharpening the pencil, splitting the hamster, stuffin’ the muffin ... And there was your clue, to slowly move her hand, towards the stick ..... Let that thought sink in, and you don't get much sleep tonite. Women has become more choosy to what age they will accept. Thanks to internet and smartphones. Most personal adds I've read, typical say: 'no old man over 40', and in best cases 'not over 50 years old'. Lucky my qrse. At age 60+ one feel "lucky" to score a women age 50+, these days. A bank account with 7-8 digits will change this, but a man with 'high IQ' will not fall for that, unless he is happy with a business transaction rather than true love. Don't know if that even exist these days. The jury is out on this one. Now, imagine that you both are ready to enter the bathroom to take a shower, before the hanky-panky. Would a 43 y.o. be excited in any way, to see the naked body of a 71 y.o.? Some dreams and fantasies are best left as just that. Had your daydream been a woman age 55+ I would give a thumbs up. That would be the only thing 'Up' or 'moist' (I suspect). Naaah, let dreams stay dreams, enjoy the golden years with family and friends, good food and wine, and good Health, and let the little fella remain retired. Charm a woman with your great humor, brain, life experience, and most important money. Don't forget, Thai women often say 'farang pod mak', aka foreigner talk too much. Now, how would you score in that department? oh-oh Keep dreaming older brother (Great sunday topic)

Agree, that was my first thought as well. Typical symptom early on would also be severe back pain. OP: any back pain? Another possible indication of AAA would also be if OP can feel his pulse, outside the stomach? But if pain was severe 2 years ago, AAA could had bursted by now - IF you actually have AAA and not something else. That make AAA less likely, imo. OP: you take way too much tramadol, 300 MG is dangerous level. You're beyond side effect, long time already. Ask your doctor if he can prescribe Morphine MST, lasts for 12 hours. Eventually top up with only 1 Tramadol 50 mg per day. You must reduce the intake of tramadol, not surprised if it doesn't work already, you taken way too much. And you might create more medical problems, and what I think can be addiction to Tramadol more than a month or two use (From experience). Don't self-medicate, take only what is prescribed by hospital. CT scan was with contrast or not? This would clearly show if you have AAA. I would go to the best private hospital, and start with a CT with contrast, if negative follow other test the hospital suggest. But get your use of Tramadol under safe level.

Unless there will be officers on the beach walkway 24/7, not much will change. Today between 9.30 am to 11 am, nearly 20 women working between soi 11 to soi post office, No uniforms in sight. Many thai men hang out on the beach, up to no good. Clearly on drugs many of them. Create more disturbance and sometime violence.. The homeless opposite Mike do create lots of disturbance, fights fuelled by alcohol and meth, daily. They use the area as toilet. Smell horrible. City hall should remove them once for all, and clean up this area, if they care about the city's reputation.

In 2017 it was a very similar case here in Thailand. A foreigner murdered a friend, dismembered the victim, and rushed to the border. Got death sentence, and I guess still on death row. 'A Spanish man was sentenced to death by a Thai court Friday for the grisly murder of a fellow Spaniard whose dismembered body parts were discovered in Bangkok’s main river last year.' https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/spaniard-sentenced-death-thailand-grisly-murder/

Went out 8.30 last night to get some food in Soi Buakhao. Water guns was still in use, and songtaews was #1 goal even people now was clearly dressed up for dinner. They got drenched. Who cares? Anyone remember the old rule pre-2010, not use watergun after dark? Watched Utube searched 'songkran pattaya 2023' and the mayhem is in full force spesially in soi 6-7-8. Plenty of the dangerous forbidden high pressure pvc tubes are in use. Today is my 5th day of staying home. It's getting to me now. Have done everything I could do inside condo, spotless clean and tidy. The remaining 3 days will feel extreme long. Now I need human interaction. Missing my breakfast restaurant, coffee shop for lunch where many expats meet, be able to walk without be drenched in ice cold dirty water. The lack of reports in this topic just demonstrate that many expats has still not returned to Thailand. My friends back home tell me airline ticket prices are still way too high. TIT. Fun, and drunk fun and water splashing are more important it seems. Both logic and mathematics are missing, as we already know. 20th April can't come fast enough.
