Bangkok Launches Campaign to Combat High Diabetes Risk
jaideedave replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Part of the Thais diet includes sticky rice. That is very high on the glycemic index if you can even find it there. A lot of people fall asleep or get drowsy after consuming this. (sugar spike) A senior lady next door to us in our Issarn neighborhood has to get dialysis treatment 3 times a week.Her family hasn't connected the dots as she eats this stuff several times a day.Why don't the Drs give advice about this? Please correct me if I'm mistaken. -
Paramedic Team Caught on Video Stealing from Accident Victim's vehicle
jaideedave replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
A few years ago in Pattaya the rescue team attended a deceased farangs condo and in the pics you could plainly see a box of Leo cans. Pan over to them loading the corpse into the back of the truck and "voila" there was the box of Leo. Humorous I suppose as he won't need it. -
My stepdaughter falls into that category I think. Years ago I put her thru TCC uni in BKK to get a degree in accounting.Which she did. For what it cost me I could have bought her a 7-11 franchise.Her allowance was 15k per month 13 years ago.I covered tuition. Her monthly salary today is just under 15k/month at King Power. wtf? Thats probably why most Thais want to open their own business. She says she'd like to open a coffee shop. I think she'll have to wait for her inheritance for that one.

In days gone by I would run around looking for various items often unsuccessfully due to language barriers and no stock.Since CV 19 I find myself using Lazada/Shopee more often than not. I have bought replacement remotes for my Mitsubishi ac before no problem.

Thank you sir for exposing all these climate zealot experts.They've been predicting false disasters for 50 years already.I'm sick of hearing from the doom and gloom brigade.Al Gore went from a nobody ex politition to a muti millionaire climate expert.Phony as a $3 bill along with the retarded Greta "how dare you" what a crock of <deleted>.

Pouting land seller
jaideedave replied to NorthernRyland's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Same happened to me years ago buying an HD from a shop in BKK.They told me the price.I decided I wanted it and offered them 10K less...they looked amazed that I had the nerve to even ask me such a question. I bought it at full asking price but they did some mods for free and shipped it to Pattaya for me.TIT -
I flew Bus class twice with Eva Bkk>TO 777, yes very good.Keep in mind that was 4-5 years ago. I haven't used KAL for 10 years so can't say. They were okay at the time.

Back in the day pre covid I only used Eva BKK>Pearson.Business on their 777 was great.Not cheap but those flights are killer for me.It was just shy of 24 hours door to door Pattaya>St.Catharines. Previously I used KAL YVR>BKK when I lived in Nanaimo.

Nick..A little off topic but I can see you as a valuable asset for the UK expats.I'm a Canadian with a similar issue.My Thai wife is entitled to 37.5% of one of my gov't pensions as a widow.I have downloaded all the necessary forms and filled out most of the details already including addressed envelopes..She's been instructed to have my death certificate etc translated and notarized.It would be next to impossible for her to complete this task on her own.In her case the Cdn gov't withholds a 25% non resident tax.I don't know any fellow Canucks to rely on to assist her. Do your UK contacts do the same? cheers

I can't understand why there aren't solar panels on every roof.I acknowledge that someone earning 400 baht/day can't afford it but the gov't should provide incentives surley.Apparently PEA makes it difficult to transfer excess power to the grid.

Medicine / herb to relieve anger, stress
jaideedave replied to Kenny202's topic in Health and Medicine
Kenny,I must admit that you've hit on some very valid points here.We've been together off/on for about 20 years so I've got some feelings invested.She takes any statement from a Dr as gospel.The "bite the hand that feeds them"strikes a cord.I've done nothing but contribute to her and her families welfare yet I'm always the bad guy if anything goes sideways.Maybe I'm fighting a battle I can't win.I could go on but I don't want to air the dirty laundry in this forum.Thank you sir. Good luck to you also in your struggles. -
Medicine / herb to relieve anger, stress
jaideedave replied to Kenny202's topic in Health and Medicine
Dr T..thanks mate I may do just that if okay.Shes been away for 4 weeks and returns today and It'll be interesting to see things go now that I have better knowledge about the root cause.BTW I'm doing some research on Fish oil Omega 3 supplements with emphasis on DHA/EPA. You have any comment on that? Its been tested and proven to help BPD patients.
