  1. Must've been a dozen stories gulf islands counterfeit notes, illegal businesses, very sketchy businesses, money laundering in past few months and this is low season. That story about being overrun in Pai and the illegal chabad house also sticks in my mind.
  2. He asks all sorts of questions. Imagine you didn't complain when he was going on about prostitutes. Why now?
  3. Well, there are now 70k fewer dead individuals in that region making that possibility even slimmer Never met a Palestinian Christian or Muslim. If you live outside Israel it's next to impossible to travel. Besides they are impoverished and trying to hold their land down. 35 years in Asia only Jews. In US went to university with some Palestinians. Never met a Christian though
  4. Then there's this support. Shadowy USAID organization giving millions to support Jewish chaos in Thailand. Three million dollars but they can't afford their meals 👍
  5. Yes, a mile away and always full of nosy questions that end up being questions to grub something off you. I mean they are the absolute classic stereotypes of their ilk. It's hilarious when they try to grub something off you and then try and guilt trip you for not giving it to them. Total annoying stranger .. yeah, feel so guilty. I'm such a bad person. They almost always travel in gangs for corp desprit. The larger the group the more loud and annoying and potential for public scene. Anyone Remember the chabad house that wasn't in Pai ? Bangkok post some time ago. Occasionally, I'd run across a couple MM or MF in India. They were ok and often if you'd say something like why aren't you traveling with your gang of people you'd get an eye roll like ... nah. We know better. They cause equal if not more chaos in India and I'd heard although no way can verify they were persona non grata in India bc all they do is smoke charas and make problems.
  6. Pretty obvious and yes speaking Hebrew. Most are Sephardic Jews with some whites mixed in I had one Jewish aquaintence explain to me after military service the smart ones go to US and often have family and often emmigrate. Next are EU or maybe down under to start a life hopefully. All the Sephardic Jewish kids just hit the trail to travel and party. They have nothing. They are not especially bright, no jobs in Israel that can't wait. Guareteed health care and welfare in Israel courtesy USA taxpayers
  7. This was like 2000 or 05. Not really lots of flights in Lao at the time 555 I had already outgrown the backpacker thing. I went to Luang Prabang on a lark
  8. Hands down the absolute worst tourists I have encountered in Asia. Dirty, conniving, deceitful, liars - I personally encountered all these traits young Israelis apparently hold in high esteem while traveling in SEA. Bumming a cigarette from a guy although I saw him pull a pack out half hour before Friend asks for pen in line at border. Ah naw...never carry one. Always someone stupid enough to borrow from. Later he saw me with a pen 😂 Koh Phangan bungalow 1996: stayed weeks, bungalow, food. They did a runner. Cops got them and then they lied with some big complicated story. Just one favorite One Jewish woman wanted my window seat on mini van so she told me she was sick from drinking all night and would puke on me. When I wouldn't relent they all started signing some BS communist kibbutz songs very loud in the minivan. Another shared van. They could smoke their cancer sticks in the van but they tried. So, every 30 mins they'd take turns tell driver they need to pee. Then they'd all pile out and smoke. I told the Lao driver in Thai to tell them to hold it and just drive on. They'd added like 90 minutes to a 5 hour trip. I've got about a dozen from Northern India. Just scum
  9. Why is Trump rarely called out on his hypocrisy? Really? It seems MSM and this subforum provide a minute by minute update Life is complicated. I could only imagine how difficult Trump has it. Especially now being owned by Israel Hypocrisy was Dark Brandon's middle name but let's all forget that
  10. You are a very, very bored individual. I would think the best and easiest place to get this information is the Pattaya PD. So, if you are in Thailand before you yourself meet your maker feel free to stroll in and ask. Around 2008 I estimated that on average one foreigner died a week in Pattaya of/ for something. I have not been to Pattaya since 09. The foreign population local and transient has probably quadrupled. As nothing more than I guestimate I'd venture 2.5 deaths a week on average with no less than .5 to 1 being fairly clear suicide. There may be addl more murky unaliviing. Those are just cut dry cases like notes, pills and jumpers This is nothing scientific, but it was an item of interest years ago because I was shocked at all the deaths back then and have sort of followed it since. I have no interest discussing the matter further
  11. Disregard above and the questions. Dicey. Focus shockwave+ ultrasound radial and a bit of hot pad and slap and tickle. 3000b I would rather try Sheryl's recommendation.
  12. This place is close to me. They have lots of fancy equipment but the website looks a bit scammy to me. https://flexwellnessclinic.com/ They are super aggressive on Line. I'm concerned I go in for 800 and it's 8000. See information below The acupuncturist said she has electric stimulation. Also cannot be used if there is some sort of metal in the body. I have had two dental implants. I guess this is not an option assuming it even works. Below more supporting info for the physio therapy. Radial ultrasound 790b. Sorry the screen shot sucks for some reason. deleted. Added another 1760336213096.mp4 1760336193874.mp4
  13. Sssshhhh 😳 Illegal aliens don't need internet access to do jobs. They can't speak English so it's going to be manual labor. Besides, if you work for a corporation seems to me it's THEIR online identity that needs to be logged. You're on their equipment doing their work. Wherever one works you need a logon issued by the employer. Without it you're going nowhere
  14. I checked the menu. She's just traditional acupuncturist, Chinese medicine doctor. She does offer what appears to be tens. Any love or hate for cupping? * She seems best and closest and best value, but I'll look for ultrasound
  15. So after all the trans nonsense from the government we are back to normality due only bc best way to enforce authoritarian measures. Just goes to show how meaningless it all is/was UK is finished. How is this man still PM?
  16. I don't do the deadbug which ironically seems best. I'm going to add it back in plus I think bird dog is very good and will add back in. I often skip superman's and going to substitute swimmers. Reverse crunches are tough on my lower back. Murder really. So I use a pillow. I usually can only get to 45 unless I break it up. I also do Kegels and glute bridge. In between the Kegels I do leg lifts and hold 1 minute. I'm going to drop glute bridge and go back to one leg glute lift. Also... I can't do proper crunches due to pelvic pain so I just lift my upper and hold. 30 second 3x Serious walking 1 hour daily and then additional walking through the day. Total usually 7k to 16k steps Hope this helps Piriformis Pigeon Stretch - Ask Doctor Jo.mp4 c6b3743235f4982001d6aea3c1d7623d_1751682326765.mp4
  17. I've had a blood urine workup within six months. It's was ok. I've really cut back on alcohol and processed meat. Few years back I was 15 to 20 drinks per week. Cut that a long time ago to half. Past year plus is 5 to 10 half that is usually if I go out and have 4 or 5 at one go I've have heard this link and appreciate pointing it out but nothing else points to kidneys imo. I'm pretty healthy aside from this. Most people would take me for ten+ years younger.
  18. Thanks. Yes, some offer tens, but a few acupuncturists menu specifically mentioned ultrasound. Whether like you say it's tens or not I don't know - thank you for pointing out the distinction. With that knowledge I'll go back and look at the menu and see what's on offer. This acupuncturist has good recommendations, close, menu prices look good. I also have a lot of tightness lately up around my neck and shoulder area. If I am not noticeably better with acupuncture I'll be looking for additional remedies Thank you and thank everyone that's participated in this thread topic. Much appreciated!! Sucks getting old
  19. Thank you. I'm going to acupuncture Wednesday. If that doesn't resolve I'll give your advice some real consideration. Appreciate the physio recommendation. Wife says she knows Dr from Sirirat just opened a spine clinic. Rethinking my exercises and stretching, going to start walking again in PM. * Pinched nerve could be but pain is everywhere and nowhere, random. It can even vanish in one area and appear in another same day.
  20. I think the acupuncturist might also offer this. Thanks.
  21. With respect to Sheryl, I agree. The pain moves around the upper pelvic area. Piriformus and psoas muscles and other similar. I've never had a moment...oh, my spine!! I've never thought I've had bad posture but possibly too much couch, lying down. Going for acupuncture in a few days. I wrecked my back repotting plants a few days ago. Stopped all exercise except for walking. Walking really helps. I think I'm sitting too much but there's really no other option in the condo. I'm out and about probably four hours each day. Walking in evening kinda crazy 4-7pm with everyone trying to get home as fast as possible Thx
  22. Thanks. I'm now thinking I'm doing too much stretching. I'm always trying to stretch the tightness out throughout the day.
