I had colon cancer surgery at Queen Sirikit hospital near U Tapao a few years ago.It was done the old fashioned way I guess.Recovery was the worst 2 years of my life.The surgeon wouldn't reverse the colostomy until I took chemo.I refused and instead had a PET scan.It was clear and had a Dr do the surgery at Ramathibodi in BKK. Horrible experience.There won't be a next time.

In my almost 20 years in Pattaya I've warmed more bar stools than I care to admit.At 72 I am no longer interested in socializing with people that I used to represent.I'm a homebody these days.Here I am answering this forum.That should tell the story. I've had more than my share of fun in "fun city" I sold my last HD a few years ago due to health. I feel I no longer fit in and most of the conversations bore that crap out of me.My bucket list is complete.I'm basically content these days in > Heaven's Waiting Room <

RS>correct "We can be in the middle of the dry desert at 50 Deg C and its does not feel as hot as Bangkok at 36 Deg C with 90% humidity." That was my experience in Iran where I was working 50c hardly any humidity..not pleasant but bearable.

Lol..I witnessed that 1st hand at a resort when the maid inserted the blunt end of a dinner fork into the slot and "presto" the power came on..

If thats the case how are all the false doomsday predictions made over the years turning out? Wrong Again: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

I've taken the Indian Pacific from Sydney to Perth.I must say it travelled through a lot of remote areas IMHO. Very good meals were served. I've also taken the rail trip across Canada Halifax NS to Vancouver BC . That trip took 4-5 days as I recall.

Yes it is.Ask any ex smoker.The urge to smoke never leaves you.I've confirmed this truism many times over the years.I happily smoked Marlboro for decades until I had quadruple bypass surgery. Suddenly I didn't crave them any longer.I always related smoking with lung cancer but was mistaken.I found out the hard way that it affects the heart/blood vessels etc. also. My old mum smoked all her life and developed cancer of the mouth.A previously beautiful woman disfigured in late life until the end.If this vaping is safe and effective to stop people from smoking then I'm all for it.

Maybe so..years ago my wife took the bus from Mor Chit to Issarn.When she arrived the bag was gone.In the bag were all her immigration documents from my embassy that were required to process her visa to emmigrate.It set us back almost a year to redo almost everything we had done to that point.That really pissed me off.She complained to the manager at the terminal who gave her 1000 baht and sent her way.Lesson learned.Never put anything of value in the bus luggage compartment. Never!

The Tamulosin side effects were horrible for me.At 1st it worked good but after a few days I tossed it in the bin.I've had BPH for years and saw palmetto used to work but not so much these days. I use this concoction now and it seems to help. I also take pumpkin seed extract.All easily available on Lazada.

19 years in Pattaya and yes It's the hottest now that I recall.37 c the other day.I worked in Iran years ago and it hit 50 c but nearly no humididty so not so bad.

Jen..very accurate information for a change.The Greta's in the world are f'd up.How many predictions of climate disaster over the years have come to fruition? None.I've experienced the effects of El Nino on the BC west coast decades ago.It upsets certain patterns and then goes away.You want a laugh? Listen to an Al Gore speech. You'll piss yourself on hearing such a pile of bull<deleted>e.The Canadian carbon tax does not and will not reduce anything except the $ in your wallet.

A cunning array of stunts

Correct M..a few years ago I was operated on for colon cancer.This reulted in a colostomy bag.The longest 2 years of my life.The Thai surgeon refused to reverse it until/unless I took the suggested chemo therapy.I refused.Reason being I had renal failure at the time and Chemo would have killed me. I found a Dr in BKK who suggested a "PET" scan and if clear he would do the reversal for me.I did this and was "C" free.A bit later the procedure was reversed and I got my life back.Chemo is the worst possible thing IMHO.Its a racket for Dr and clinics.Nobody or very few survive that crap and lives to tell about it.

Several years ago I had a lucrative contract for 3 months in Iraq (O&G) industry.I always wanted a Rolex Submariner and finally had enough money to afford one. I bought it at a bonafide dealer in BKK. After a bit I was on a 2 week holiday in Bejing to see the Great Wall.A casual walk in the vicinity of my hotel drew so many stares I left it locked in the hotel room. A very uncomfortable feeling.I sold it within a year of purchase after feeling like a target.

Actually my ex wife worked for him as a secretary briefly.She got the job because her English was good as a result of me sending her to language classes.

Giving while living is a mantra I've used.I've donated to my wife's sister and husband to get them started on building a new house.It's now complete.They were living in a hovel.They thank me these days while i'm still around.I get a lot of satisfaction from that.My wife and her single sister are well taken car of.Not rich but own 2 houses and some bullion.I won't need it where I'm going.555

Back in the mid 90,s after I had made a few trips here from Canada a buddy wanted to come over with me.Okay says me,we stopped for a couple ales near the regional airport we needed to get to Vancouver.As we were going thru security they were looking at our carry on bags and his turn came.He was casually asked ,what do you have in the bag? His reply, "a gun and a knife" he chuckled.I couldn't believe my ears ! .So began his 1st trip to Thailand.

Correct..I recently sent an important document to the Cdn government via Thailand Post air mail registered. I received a formal receipt and tracking #.When I looked up the tracking a few days later all information stopped the day it left Thailand.So much for that.I can only hope it reached its destination.I must say though that I've received important docs from them with no issues.

My name is on my chanote.I have a 30 year lease with my step daughter registered as the owner outright.All done thru a lawyer.Pattaya land office in 2007.A friends wife challenged me about that once saying it was not possible.So I promptly went to the safe and produced said document.That night she she overdosed on crow.

Funny you should ask that.In 2007 when at the land offce with my lawyer and stepdaughter to have the Chanote put in her name I was informed that my name was being put on the Chanote.(30 year lease) They then asked for both my mothers and fathers names? Why? they had both been deceased several years already, no answer just do.lol

Correct...he could very well retaliate when she's alone.Get the police involved if necessary.They will want a tip for services rendered ,otherwise they don't give a sod.She may have something to hide and don't want the coppers sniffing around.There are most likely other circumstances here I'm thinking.

Please inform me which hospital or city? tnx

Thats my greatest fear.At 72 with past bypass surgery I'm behind the 8 ball. I told my Thai family to tell the Dr " DNR" do not resuscitate but I'm not sure they get it. I told them I don't want their inheritance wasted away so I can survive as a veggy.Of course my insurance does not cover any cardiac issues. I'm actually only covered from my chin up and belly button down.<deleted>

You my friend live in a realistic world here.I've been preaching this for years..It's far more lucrative for them if everyone uses agents.I used to do my own until the light bulb went on. A few times I've been there when it was packed and a messenger dropped a huge handful of passports directly on the main mans desk and he quickly grabbed the 1st one...Agent only for me forever.

god bless that sob...i wanted to p__s on his pyre
