  1. I live at 15 minutes drive from Thammasat / your info is really important for me
  2. The number one need is pain management / my Thai wife is well educated (63 yrs old) and doing now a wonderful jog in renewing every few days the stoma bag I have now / however she has no access to powerful pain killers although she could learn to inject them / I am reluctant about a private hospital because in Thailand you are a customer more than a patient / my father died here in my home country of prostate cancer and they gradually increased the morphine and I doubt I this will be done in Thailand
  3. Thanks but the link you gave does not work / it is may-be the same institution as https://aphn.org/services/ramathibodi-palliative-care-excellent-center/
  4. Did he receive sufficient pain treatment with only one visit a week. I am not scared to die but worried about lack of care for severe pains
  5. I am 82 years old and I live in Thailand since 1987. Last year during holidays in my home country (EU) a bladder cancer was detected. Since then I have undergone TURBT, cistectomy, radiotherapy but the cancer always came back and now as a last option immunotherapy will be tried. If this does not work I would prefer to be no longer a burden for the friends where I am now staying and return to Thailand to dy in my own house. However I do not know if in Thailand there is palliative care at home What do Forum members recommend?
  6. is he a new Jean Claude Van Damme?😉
  7. Whatsapp cannot be used like Skype to make (prepaid) calls to landlines of my two sisters (89 and 91) / I hope there will be alternatives to make calls from PC to landlines
  8. Yes in my case it was bladder cancer and now I have a stoma bag
  9. Trump as referee for the Russia - Ukraine conflict ? My question : if you have an aggressive neighbour who tried to take your house completely but failed...would you accept a third party referee to decide if you have to cede your kitchen or your bathroom? Let us not forget that the "historical peace deal" negotiated in 1938 by UK prime minister Chamberlain At Munich, Chamberlain got an international agreement that Hitler should have the Sudetenland in exchange for Germany making no further demands for land in Europe. Chamberlain said it was 'Peace for our time'.
  10. Since I became more than 70 I obtained access at the VIP passport check lane at Suvarnabhumu airport
  11. I thought the only legal currency is the Thai Baht / will they vote a new law to accept cryptocurrency?
  12. I am staying in Thailand since more than 20 years with a Non Imm O (retirement) visa which expires on April 4th. I need to go to my home country for cancer treatment next week and very likely I will be unable to return before April 4th. It is still too early to apply at Immigration Office here for an extension of my Non Imm O visa but I should be able get a visa waiver upon entry and then restart the visa extension procedures (I have 800.000 THB in the bank) Can I enter Thailand with a one way ticket?
  13. Every 6 months / 1500 Baht for two air conditioners
  14. Gambling cannot be stopped : if it is make legal it can be taxed. (same for prostitution)
  15. I live in an apartment opposite Bangkok Golf Club in Pathum Thani where according to AQAir.com the PM2.5 was 180 at 12 noon. I keep my air conditioner operating the whole day at a setting of 28 C Recently a bought an Air Quality Detector and it indicates in my apartment a PM.5 value of 29 (also at 12 noon) Does air conditioning reduce PM2.5 and keep the dust in the filter?
  16. Political partisanship has with the new media of the last 10 years reached the levels of Northern Ireland 30 years ago. At that time there was a joke that the hardline protestant leader Rev Ian Paisley was dying but he shocked his supporters with the news that he converted to the Catholic faith. They went to ask him "why?" and he replied "if one has to die it better be one of them than one of us"
  17. I have a desktop PC with Windows 11 Since several weeks I have several times a day a popup (see attachment) asking me to do a "Setup") When I click OK then I receive a message to refuse (see attachment) indicating "Runtime Error (at:324:1115) Can a Forum member indicate how I can stop this unwanted "Setup"?
  18. I hope it is true ....but after his suspicious "face to face meeting" with Putin in Helsinki whereby he kicked out all his US assistants and kept only a Russian translator, I am worried he will break up NATO and sell out the free world to Putin who then will pay his billions of legal and other debts.
  19. I married a young Thai lady in 1988 and I am still happily married to her. I never paid attention if she had hair on her legs or not / she has a good heart and that's the only important thing for me.
  20. Regretfully the monarch is no longer lady so Trump cannot put his arm around her 😄

  22. Why do these dangerous animals have to be protected ?
