  1. Haha I know Block M. Meanwhile, the government closes shop in JKT and moves to where was it? Kalimantan?? Flooding*
  2. I've taken ibuprofen for back pain for years. In fact, some time ago 400mg and then 200mg. It doesn't seem to be an issue looking at my lab reports. I've been taking enalipril 20mg for decades no I'll effects. Doctors never flagged the contraindication. I want to swap out Losartan 50mg for the enalipril. It's ARB not ACE and not diuretic. Anyone on Losartan? Any issues? I've read it's generic and cheap here as well. I don't have a regular doctor and think a clinic visit will just cost me 300b for a thumbs up Any information advice appreciated
  3. I read recently about a sideagra film ?? Seems akin to Kamagra jelly. Does Kamagra jelly work? How quickly? Is the packet 50mg? Price? 🙏🙏
  4. I was recently reading an article on the Viagra. It really should be taken on empty stomach. The more you actually need the med the more important that is. Also, greasy food is a real problem for this medicine. I'd also read that only take one dose in 24 hours*
  5. I had ultrasound of my testicles recently at St Louis. It was about 4k
  6. This morning woke up. Felt good getting out of bed, made coffee and sat on sofa. Getting up the back pain was back. I lightly stretched it out and went walking for an hour. When I came back I made some sofa adjustment with pillows to fix incline. I believe my problem is poor posture on sofa, too much couch time. Went out to lunch, walking On the way back stopped for massage. Got two hours. One hour neck back shoulders. I pulled back of my pants down and pointed to pain points. She is a bit of a joker but initially thought I was cheeky I think, but understood this was real problem for me and went to work. It really hurt but same time felt great. She finished stretching out my legs and that felt so good despite the pain I asked for another hour. Next, she pulled and stretched my thighs groin, legs for full hour. She kept saying keng, keng (strong). That's not my hot Adonis legs it's tightness. Even after good time working my legs, thighs, buttock, groin it was still tight. It was a real eye opener how this was huge part of my problem. In the end, ripped apart I felt really good. All the stretching I am doing I'm uncertain how beneficial it is. I'm actually tired after the massage. I'll go back weekly I think. So, my personal solution to this back pain thus far: Revise core workout plan. Light stretching, Kegels 15 minutes dumbbells Massage weekly lower body stretch Acupuncture 1 2 more times Fix sofa so always sitting 90 degrees Limit sofa time. Take sofa breaks evenings. Hope this helps
  7. It is more rumoured than not she's married I think Lisa is pretty much done. With big money behind her she might pump out a few massive hits but she's done. Black pink everyone's going their separate ways for some time Chompoo I was simply commenting on overexposure. Just today I was walking through lotus and I I saw a picture of her holding a baby like a mommy in the baby section. That's fine because she's done.
  8. No such thing as it relates to music internationally. Not really. Thailand just doesn't understand soft power that it lusts for. What it has it squanders and what it doesn't it chases it's tail over
  9. She's overexposed and going to ruin her image. I see her face everywhere. Much like Araya Hargate or whatever her name is. Seems Thais have lost interest. Now she's married it doesn't matter. I'm sure prenup promises her a fortune. Amazing Thailand lol. How old is that campaign? DECADES. How tired.
  10. Young men. Not so attractive / sexy no customers + 20 somethings high testosterone + female hormones + meth + being broke = big trouble
  11. What seems like corruption? You did not state. Maybe the Indonesian president was trying to arrange it? Contacts and introductions are a way of life. What a loser post. Yawn
  12. Indeed My wife as well but I've seen absolute rural slums in Issarn, LAOS and central BKK
  13. I actually find landlords prefer me over Thai. This last condo landlord fancy BKK policeman and wife professor law thammasat approved me for condo in 10 minutes. He said he spent 6 months turning down people. Despite what I said about Thai appearances many Thai homes are dirty and unkept. Thais are broke
  14. I've definitely experienced racism. But some of it understood like sitting next to me the farang especially women. There's already a thing where women will tend to sit or be nearer women. This especially true when on transit and you are farang. Totally understand a Thai woman not wanting to sit next to me for hours on a bus. I don't like it but understand it When I'm clean, but simply.. dressed averagely often women especially the cute ones won't queue or sit or stand near me. That's like slides not shoes and some mid shorts shirts. When I'm dressed better, proper shoes, nice shirt/ shorts, maybe a bit of cologne the girlies will queue behind me and even stand, sit next to me. I've definitely noticed this. On rare occasion I can even get a smile or two. Maybe not from 20 somethings so often but 25++ a d definitely 35++. Not bad for 65 yo Thais very much into appearance, smell, cleanliness. To disregard this a d live here is at your peril I'm not bothered by it TBH. I'm 65yo farang. That's there choice and preference. I'm far more troubled by hospital and national park double pricing * Many Thai women want to stay far afield even in BKK. They think they'll be taken for prostitutes in our proximity. Bless our gfs and wives.
  15. You're not going to want to hear this but check yourself. Do you smell? Did you shower before going out or at least evening before? Many in UK and EU don't have access to water/ bath like US for instance and especially Thailand. I shower probably 4x a day if I'm out and about. Moreover, we are often said to smell differently than Asians. Do you eat only farang food? Lots of processed food? Are you dressed well? That might mean better than the locals if living upcountry. Not in tired, stretched out singlet and oversized cargo shorts and if course flip flops. Do you shave regularly? Are you a proper weight / BMI? When going out do you look your best? Why is your gf with you everywhere you go???
  16. For all the English saying he should read terms conditions I don't think there are any on the back of the card. The cards are just not used that way. It's pretty much expected that no one is going to keep money on the card for months without using it... Except FARANG 😂
  17. 60-80 Bangkok now except Terminal. Especially with egg
  18. Of course there's an expiration. Might be a week or month or a year, but they need to reconcile. I eat at six food courts two are big c. I exchange b100 and get the balance at the end of my meals. Why make Thailand so complicated? Saves time lol. All of how many minutes? Because your life is so important and fast paced 🤣
  19. I did the acupuncture a few hours ago. The entire process was an hour. I expect the next appointment probably 45 minutes. The clinic was very clean - I've been in 'dirtier' (old) Drs offices before for work permits. The doctor was great. English was a certain level of good. It was like going to a proper doctor. Lots of questions, medical history by staff and then many more from doctor -important before sticking pins in people I suppose. She informed me what she was going to do a d then carried out the procedures. The pins were interesting. Most went in one side and it was the side I have lesser pain. Moreover, none went into the areas around my lower back. She did put a few near my neck which I often have tightness. She did back and front. Front side she put some pins in my thighs ... different spots on each thigh. I'd done cupping 30 years ago in the streets of Phnom Penh. Definitely cleaner, more professional 😂 Post treatment *Doctor said my take a few days to really get full effect and to give it at least 1-2 more times. Fair enough It should be noted I took 400mg ibuprofen. My back wasn't not good this morning, but tomorrow I'm back off the NSAIDs. I mention this because I can't be certain what is the medicine and acupuncture. Medicine taken around 8am* So, a miracle did not occur. What did was I thought I felt I could move bend my body with less achiness immediately off the table Over past few hours I've noticed my stiff neck has lessened it seems. My back seems much better than this morning - good signs. Note: I've also walked minimum 2km since treatment and the 400mg ibuprofen am. It's Wednesday and that is naughty HJ day so....I feel good and best I've felt in days. I'm going to follow this up tomorrow with a massage. ** I've written this up because I think that many of you like myself have never had acupuncture. I will update the thread if when anything changes in the next few days. I will be back in next week and I will update again assuming I haven't been banned 🤣😭 The total for this was 1250b. There were three staff. Admitting, junior doctor and senior doctor I very much like this route working with doctors instead of young physiotherapists. I trust therapy in States but here ... not so much. Anytime you need something serious done to your body in Thailand it always requires a doctor. Everything else is just kind of nebulous bullshi+. I can go another three times and it will cost me the same amount as the initial consultations, circle jerk and electrical gadget. At the moment when I stand up there is very little pain involved. Thank you for your attention. I hope this might help others 👍
  20. Thanks. Today in BKK is a sauna I'm hesitant to join a gym for a few reasons
  21. They play on both sides. Communist and Fascist. Can't lose.
  22. Good idea. I've thought of doing that. The shop I've gone to I'm not crazy about the woman's massage. It's a bit too strong and imbalanced. The traditional massage stretching my legs out and around pelvic area feels good but lacking in other areas. Another they have neck back shoulders but that's another hour. It's only b300 an hour but that's 2 hours in the tiny shop. It's very chill...music, AC it's just a bit much for me Need to find another shop. I'm definitely thinking this might be a good alternative but have also read about bruising.
  23. No, sounds like a great idea. I do think my lower back area might be inflamed. I'm back to NSAIDs for now and as mentioned chilling out on all exercise save for walking and some mobility stretching. 🙏
  24. Thanks. I'm doing that now. Just walking. I'm also trying to be more mindful of twisting and turning. I think that's part of it 👍
  25. True And smoking. Despite all the rules they have to smoke everywhere and blow smoke in your face and put the buts on the ground. and order lovely staff around like they are lords of the manor. Bunch of punk kids
