My faith in the irrationality of my perceptions and thoughts is sometimes shaken by finding myself believing I can see that others are irrational. Gym and cold showers help restore my sense of being a meaningless, deluded, bit of self-organized organic goo addicted to its own hallucinations of linear time, and a fictional narrative of a personal history titled "The Greatest Story Ever Told." Equal access to gyms and cold showers !

And, your psychic powers tell you that the intention of these Monks is to "look good" ?

I wonder which rose-tinted reality you are referring to here. This one ? Big Rock Candy Mountain

In case anyone can benefit from this information: the Nakornping Hospital OPD in town (Changklan) does not provide booster shots; the main Nakornping Hospital in Mae Rim does.

"Some are born vicious, some achieve viciousness, and some have viciousness thrust upon them" Shakespeare did not write.

In the past, I used the "Three Elephants" gold shop in Talat Warorot, on Wichayanon road. along the west side of the Ping, a bit north ( 100 meters ?) of where Chang Moi dead ends at that road, just after the place the songthaews stop. https://www.google.com/maps/@18.7918674,99.0005346,3a,15y,228.9h,85.41t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sdNc8nDdubZoHgU4xrL5akg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 Very helpful people !

"There are medical reasons for me to have both eyes done at once, under general anesthesia; please spare me your random thoughts on that."

Sawasdee Khrup, Best wishes to Khun Wandr, and others, planning for eye surgery ! I was recently quoted 140,000 baht for cataract surgery in both eyes, in one session, with general anesthesia, by Dr. Paradee at Sriphat/Maharaj. I was told that prognosis for one eye is uncertain because the extent of macular damage can only be seen after the cataract is removed (i.e., during surgery). There are medical reasons for me to have both eyes done at once, under general anesthesia; please spare me your random thoughts on that. Has anyone been able to use an American Visa card (not a debit card) to pay for surgery at Sriphat ? cheers, ~o:37;

Booster #3 available ar Airport Plaza this week ? thanks, ~o:37;

Here in Chiang Mai, Dr. Somboon Chaisrisawasdisuk, M.D., RCST is the dean (formerly dean of the medical school of Chiang Mai University) of northern Thai plastic surgeons. He is semi-retired, but, he's doing two or three extensive facial surgeries a week. https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/959142-good-experience-with-dr-somboon-and-his-knife/ He has a great personality ???? He is not "cheap." ~o:37;

"treatment at privat hospitals was not convincing." what does that mean ?

No problem except poor judgement, or, confusion. !o:37;

I shudder to think of which god that is. ~o:37;

Are you suggesting Thailand has a trade surplus with the US ? https://tradingeconomics.com/thailand/balance-of-trade

I am afraid to ask, but, what is a barrel bag, and what goes in it ? ~o:37;

A slight variation: who is paid off to get a higher rating ? ~o:37;

My toothbrush never gets near my underwear. ~o:37;

important: wear appropriate attire !

Indeed, I also experience the reverse: the more quiet and peaceful I am, the younger I get. ~o:37;

As Khun Mahseer suggested, Talat Thipanet is the place to go, I believe the Roob is Luang Por Tuit. Tomorrow,, I will PM you contact information for an expert at that marker I've known for many years. Gold case ? Any gold-shop can check that for you. I have noticed that many things appear golden in Thailand for expats ... for a while. cheers, ~0:37;

Really appreciate your advice ! The house I rent was sold 2 years ago, It had a termite problem then, and I'm surprised the bank inspection didn't stop the sale. Recently the termites have gotten dramatically worse. I am afraid the new landlord may try to stick me with a very expensive repair bill. I have a 1 year lease, currently. I'll have to get the lease translated into English, but, I* doubt there's anything in there about termites. thanks ! ~o:37;

Me, too; I am looking for a termite specialist. cheers, ~o:37;

Looking forward to a re4port from you on what is functioning inside the women's dressing area. cheers, ~o:37;

Saunas said to be working. Jacuzzi's closed. I didn't ask about the steam room. ~o:37;

The right approach is critical: I am sure the newly announced "Krieng Jai" committee will come up with face-saving plausible deniability guidelines in short order. ~o:37;
