I think we all probably have few friends. It's expat life for most 40+. The younger set does all kind of stupid meetup things because they can't exist without something /one entertaining themselves. "Friends". Personally, I've always had few friends since childhood - which are more acquaintances truth be told. Drinking pals, people that I've just bumped into and we've had some thing in common. I've never valued having a lot of superficial acquaintances. I think probably the British tend to have more friends and I'm going to talk that up to kind of a pub and football culture. I never tire of my wife's company. Not in the 15 years that I've been with her. I've never wanted to just 'get away'. I'm the crazy one truth to tell and she's quite all right with my company as well. We're really best friends and we share a lot of common interests that we enjoy in the greater world especially traveling. I'm very okay with my own company. One thing that it completely cured me if I had any desire to go out and find friends was working with all the idiots that teach. I was out last night down Cowboy..met some British guy was great fun people watching.

Your ex Guess that turned out well... So liberated taking the mother away from the children for her to go work to pay for someone to take care of the children 👍

If she's relatively young and attractive it's possible to find office work in BKK. The money is probably not all that much better especially starting out than what she's making now but better hours. First few years of marriage I felt the same way. I didn't want to take her away from her job if the marriage soured. After this amount of time and what a quality human being she is I'm very happy to support her. Your girlfriend or wife? Probably better off in some sort of face-to-face service job. I think AI is going to destroy a lot of jobs here. Even those having graduated from the top five universities struggle often over one year to find their first job. My wife loves Japan as well I've taken her three times. We'd love to go back but there's more of the world that she wants to see like Europe. I'm about done with traveling and I'm looking forward to just kicking back on the beach. All this is for her at this point

That's actually a good idea thanks. I just figured that sooner or later I would stumble across it in the pharmacy and that just simply hasn't happened. I'm in central Bangkok so there's no shortage of shops.

Thanks. The more I read about it I think it's rebound. I'm going to halt the use of all drops and smoking weed for the foreseeable future. I was using these visine type drops for a very long time for drying scratchy eyes before I started smoking a bit of weed within the last year or so

Yes. Large/st media company in Thailand. Production side. Easy job, 25k pm plus great benefits. She had the position before I met her and it doesn't seem right to take her away from it to do nothing. That's just ridiculous. Decent jobs for Thai are so hard to find. It also provides me with an out if she were to ask for money for her parents which she does not or at least very rarely. I retired mid 40s. Part of that deal with the devil was to never get married which I had already sworn off decades before. It was also part of the early retirement plan. So, she needs to work for her spending money and retirement for now. In about 5 or 7 years she will age out of her job (at 55). I should have the finances more in order. She'll get 15k spending pm from me after she stops working - I pay all expenses now. We will make all those longer and more expensive trips that could never fit into our work schedules. Wife is absolutely lovely to be around. Everyone that meets her loves her. No issues with prolonged time together. Even after 15 years. I'm the weak link. I'm just trying to figure out what is a target amount of money that I should feel comfortable with leaving her up on my death. I'm not sure I can get there but I will try. I'm not going to sacrifice my or our life style in the extreme in order to take care of a woman I met when I was 50 and she was 32 - after I'm dead. Discussing this with friends half of them think that it's pretty much her responsibility almost entirely and she should be happy with anything I can give her. I feel more bound to her than that.

I show the pharmacist the picture ask if she has similar. Thus far five stocked pharmacy no habp Thx

I'm sure hours on my phone or tablet doesn't help. Thx

Dunno. Your response sounds very technically astute but the truth is my browser dumps all that stuff every time I close it. I have never bought anything from Lazada in my life. My response was in jest. I never use Lazada. Even when I buy online it's shoppee. I browse online on my phone and then send the link to my wife. I've never purchased anything online in Thailand from these places.

Actually that is YOUR link 🤣

Myself 😳

Stop smoking, drinking and see what happens. I had read before about rebound. I think that's the problem. I do tend to use the drops once or twice a day This video discusses the medicine, also recommends Lumify the active ingredient can be found in the picture that I initially posted. This is a good video discussing the issue briefly if anyone else shares the problem.

That's the thing. It's just a tiny bit. Perhaps a few tiny hits. It's nothing to be proud of it makes me look tired

My ladyboy gf says no way. S/he swore she deleted the cookies.

This is same as Naphcon A I had posted. Actually, the Thai brand has more active ingredient. I don't really smoke a LG qty of weed, but now kinda daily. I've heard that you can build up a tolerance to these drops. At least you didn't recommend what is depicted in lower left hand corner lol

It's still early morning but I think you're going to win the prize for most idiotic post of the day What do you think the purpose of my post was?

This has always been true in Pattaya. Decades ago before taxis. Songtaew double charging tourists. I don't really remember a lot of moto taxis in dead center Pattaya but I lived there 20 years ago or more Generally speaking these guys are out of jail or on the run from their baby mama.

As I stated Hista Oph doesn't work (for me). The same active ingredient tetrahydrozylene or however it's spelled

1 Expect that the win drivers won't use the app 2 I think it's quite impossible. It would have to that is basically a taxi meter on your phone monitoring flag fall and distance, possibly time also

What do you people in Thailand use to get the redness out of your eyes? Hista Oph doesn't do it. I had a bit of luck initially with Naphcon A but seems short lived. I'm trying to locate the active ingredient below which is now used in Lumify (US). Pharmacy no habp

Anybody remember Sang Thip and nectar of the gods Mekong Whisky? Mekong in those 35cl bottles with the ratty Khmer labels 👍👍 Cambodian (US) Marlboro cigarettes sold on the street. Buckskin Joe's and all that nonsense

I really just eat Thai food. That's my level of expectation. The only time I buy anything foreign is when it's on big sale. Especially cheese. But I know sometimes a taste of home is important - like relish 😊 Your passion for proper tomato soup is commendable

I've actually looked in a number of supermarket and lots of Campbells creamy, but no tomato 🍅 Like Heinz relish in the tall, slim jar it has disappeared.

Never in 15 years

Central has most of the bottom end watch brands plus Oris and Grand Seiko. MSRP $$ Thailand What are you looking for?
