I agree BMT:In my case I'm a 72 yo cancer survivor plus I had quad bypass surgery 12 years ago.I've probably used up my (9) lives by now.I had my wife sign the DNR forms and gave them to my Dr. I don't want my family's inheritance eaten up in a ICU and they have to pull the plug when the insurance and money is gone.No issue for me at all.Its been a good ride!

Thai ex-judge sentenced over 20 million baht bribery allegations
jaideedave replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Back in 2007 at the land office where I was trying to get a 30 year lease registered on my house they demanded money outright.Either pay up or no deal.I eventually was forced to hired a lawyer to pay the bribe on my behalf.Even the Thai seller was appalled and spoke bad to these crooks.They didn't even attempt to conceal the fact. It's endemic in this country.- 38 replies

Time To Think About The Tour De Thailand 2024
jaideedave replied to webfact's topic in Hua Hin and Cha-Am News
In the past 20 years here I've read in the news of several fatalities of bike riders.Some of which were travelling the globe on bikes and met their demise on Thai highways.Sad but true. -

I just quit 6 months ago.In the end I was drinking 8 beers or 1 small bottle of Sang Som each and every day.I started at 15 and stopped at 72.I'd had enough. If I could recover all the $ wasted over the decades I'd be a wealthy man.No regrets at all, in fact it was easier to stop than I thought it would be.I immediately lost 10 kilos and sleep much better.I win.

What is a "Ghost Run"
jaideedave replied to AgMech Cowboy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I recall some boys doing that on Samui years ago.Myself I thought it was risky because the runner had to leave the Island by boat with all their passportd. .Too many things to go wrong. -
I defer to you Sheryl You are the expert on these things.I shouldn't have responded like that.Fact is I had a poor relationship with the surgeon.He refused to reverse the colostomy until I submitted to the chemo.(I had renaI failure) got another opinion with a Dr at Sinakarin hospital and he said he would make arrangements for the surgery only if the PET Scan came out negative which it did. I eventually had the reversal done at Ramatibodi by a colleague of his in Bkk.

Did you have bypass surgery?2 days seems quite short of time in the hospital.I had a quadruple bypass 13 years ago.It was at Bangkok Pattaya because I had insurance with my employer.The total bill was about 30+ pages and north of 1 million baht.They charged per aspirin and anything you can imagine. I was discharged after 7 days.Interestinly they took the veins from both of my arms? I often wondered why as most Drs take them from the legs.

The old chemo scam has been going on for years around the world.After my cancer operation the Dr insisted I go for 2-3 months of chemo etc. treatment.I'd been having severe kidney issues post op and reckoned that the chemo would finish me off. Eventually I mostly recoved from the kidney issue and paid to have the PET scan at Princess Chulabhorn in bkk. Not cheap but they detected no cancer at all.We all know of people who underwent long periods of painful Chemo to only survive a couple weeks or months if at all. Yes there are some success stories out there but no many.

I had a cancer operation at Sirikit hospital in Sattahip.Somehow I ended up in a huge ward.Worst experience ever.Zero privacy and patients yelling and screaming at all hours.Staff was very overworked. My wife had to sleep in some waiting room infested with mosquitoes. I asked for a private room but none were available for a week or so.I gladly paid the extra 3k/day. I did have one intern who kept wanting to up sell me all kinds of tests that were unnecessary.

Japanese customer accuses Thai masseur of attempted rape in Bangkok
jaideedave replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Yes who knows? But she must have been quite pissed off to drag him to the cop shop.. I'd like to have been a fly on the wall.I wonder if it was unclad and a male masseuse? mmm poor judgement maybe? I'd have to sit that one out as I do like the Japanese females... -
Job offer in the middle of nowhere - would you take it?
jaideedave replied to CLW's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Bit of a moot point until you provide more info on what job,salary,job description etc. I worked for an American O&G company outside of Udon years ago but knew exactly what I was getting into. 21/21 on off for example and hotel,meals with car and driver all in. -
Stupid me! I lent a lot of money to a Thai woman.

Yes this is to become a "lesson learned" -
Could this possibly be a "fluff" piece to quell all the chatter about being fast tracked due to her hiso status? Sanook press wouldn't do such a thing.. Takes some of the heat off to BIB higher ups. Dodgy hings have happened in the past. "Chief Pol MajGeneral Kamronwit Thoopkrachang yesterday defended the appointment of Duang Yoobamrung as a police lieutenant under the Metropolitan Police Bureau" This case is under investigation..<deleted> This young man shot a cop dead and fled the country and got hired as a small arms instructor..not because of his dads status mind you.He got hired because of his shooting ability. Anyone recall this fiasco?
