You applied for a Multi when you were living in Bangkok?

Me too - but a little longer. Spicy in Bangkok was open until 6am 15 years ago (possibly longer). Not that it was legal then though. Many other bars have been opening later for a long time. Anyone know if that place is still there? My local club in Pak Chong stays open until at least 4am now - longer if there's enough customers. I don't see that much will change - other than legalising what already happens - that won't go down too well with the BiB..........they'll have to find a new 'extraction' method.

should that be 'do not' Dr Jack?

Could you just confirm something, did you register TM30 on your first trip in May?June?

Jeez, we are not Thai. Do you actually live in Thailand and if so, do you mix with Thai people? Its much the same as a hell of a lot of middle class Thai blokes having a Mia Noi - known about, not particularly well liked but many just accept it happens.

'American Woman Sexually Assaulted' - the clue's in there somewhere - and before you pull the ethnicity stuff, I'm pretty sure that all enthicities in the USA know what Tinder's about.

Naive???? You've clearly never met a Western girl on Tinder.

Going by the confused emojis, many don't know the Ratchada area too well.

Underage prostitution involving girls from 16 up is a lot more common in Thailand than many might think - and used to be rife in the far North. In a lot of cases a blind eye is turned to it unless it involves younger girls. Some of these girls are 'sold' by their parents. Do some research - there are reports in Thai media on an almost monthly basis. I also, didn't say it was accepted - I said 'from a country where prostitution is rife and where some might say, almost accepted' - meaning in Thailand by Thai people. To the best of my knowledge there are very few Thai nationals that are members here where 'this discussion' is taking place.

I thank you for your information regarding surgery. However, I can assure you that when I had HDR Brachtherapy at St James hospital in Leeds to clear up some residual malignancy, 2 men on my ward were waiting for treatment for BPH. From what they told me, they were waiting for the same treatment that I had just had. As far as I know, and I could be wrong - I'd just come around from my anaesthetic, the department I was treated in, only carries out Brachytherapy. However, and I have no wish whatsoever to get into an argument about this but this study shows that it was being trialled in 1994 - with it appears, quite some success. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7522461/

Not disagreeing with you and I've posted similar but......a slight correction - whilst Tinder is a hook up site in most countries, a significant number of Thai females use it for regular dating. This was a young American woman though, she knew exactly what Tinder is more widely used for.

I don't think I've even been to Huai Kwang but neither can I think of any tourist I know that's stayed there. It looks very close to Ratchada though................just saying

Is the surgical route for BPH - complete removal of the prostate? I was offered a Radical Prostatectomy for advanced prostate cancer. I understand that the illness is totally different but if the surgical route is the same, you may need to consider whether or not you wish to remain active between the sheets. I was told that they would do their best to spare the nerves that control your ability but there was no guarantee. I went for Radio Therapy for that very reason - still no guarantees but a little less chance of damage and I was lucky. I don't think External Beam RT is an option for BPH but I believe some places are now using Transurethal Brachytherapy (a form of radio therapy) to treat it. Maybe worth discussing with your doctor?

Maybe she didn't know what Tinder is used for..................................

I'd like to think that's just a poor use of English?????

My thoughts exactly.

Its unlikely to be any fault of the Civil Engineers. As pointed out above, there appears to be a distinct lack of rebar and I'd love to check the strength of that concrete mix against the specified strength for the anticipated weights on that road. I seem to remember some 'mistake' being made regarding the concrete specified for the runway at Suvarnabhumi and the concrete that was actually laid. One being significantly cheaper than the other - not that I'm making any suggestions you understand.

The amazement will fade - give it time. When you see someone get run over on Sukhumvit, nobody goes to help them and you're not amazed - you'll be an 'old timer' Got used to a 900mm square phone box on a 1m pavement yet?

With respect, you are not (at least I think you're not) a 19 year old Thai girl. They are well known for being less mature than their Western counterparts. Counterparts who, I would remind you, most likely don't come from a country where prostitution is rife and where some might say, almost accepted.

And yet almost every week we see a report where they are complaining that toursim is down!

Looking through lots of your comments on various threads you don't seem to be able to construct a reply without getting personal do you? Are you unable to make reasoned remarks without doing that? If not, then what does that say about you? Do you feel the need to 'score points'? Disagree if you like, that's your right. I can't and don't say I'm right, I simply give my views without making personal comments about the poster. You know nothing about me nor I of you, yet you feel able to comment on my personality??? Just stick to the subject and make sensible comments, put your views forward, that's what's called for - nothing more.

Maybe I'm not being clear. What I'm suggesting is - supply the heat pump with water that has already been heated by the solar heating thereby using the pump's tank for storage. The pump would then only kick in when the temperature dropped. I'm not sure that I want to interfere with the internals of the heat pump beyond the tankand I'm also pretty sure there won't be any spare connections inside. The secondary side is full of valves and sensors + a secondary water pump - I'm not at all sure its wise to mess with that. By the way, did you use the 'green' pipe for your hot water system? I'm pretty sure doing the jointing for a new build will be much easier but when you're working on a ladder, inside an already constructed suspended ceiling as I was at my current house - jeez its bad. I burned my arms many times trying to heat up the joints with the jointing tool. Those things need 3 hands at the best of times, trying to use one as I did was hellish.

Right well that may take some time as the design has to be finalised before the size of the aircon units can be calculated etc. In the meantime, can I ask if any part of the system is liable to damage from usage? I will have a small MIG welder in my workshop - around 180amp. Just wondering if my workshop would be better running off the grid?

Yes but if you're married you can get a 60 day extension meaning you only have to leave every 150 days. You must make your last entry though, no later the day before the expiry date of the visa - that would grant you a further 90 days + potential 60 day extension.

Sorry but I can't take anything he says seriously - I can't stop laughing at his announcement that although bars and clubs will be allowed to open until 4am, they must stop selling alcohol at 2am
