  1. My concern is with the side affects after the injections and the much higher mortality rates in certain age groups since 2021.
  2. About 6 years ago while on vacation I started having symptoms that indicated I should get a colonoscopy. I got one and it revealed stage 2 colon cancer. Subsequently a surgeon removed a section of my bowel and a stoma bag was fitted. After a year I requested to have the bag removed and the procedure reversed.The Dr said for me to get chemo therapy first. I refused because 3 weeks after the operation I suffered severe renal issues.This took almost a year to resolve. I ended up getting a PET Scan which was clear and got a different Dr and hospital to reverse this. Of course I had to get another colonoscopy pre op.I recommend everyone over 50 to at least get one just for peace of mind.All good since 2018.
  3. How about the deep port facility the Chinoise are building in Sihanoukville. And why are the Yanks all of a sudden interested in raising the sunken RTN ship that sank? Road and belt is bait...
  4. Ditto here, How naive can I be thinking he was the one above all the rabid corruption that surrounds us.When he appeared several weeks ago pictured outside one of his several houses in his boxers, should have raised some alarm bells. Maybe Tony can fix this once he sheds the arm sling, neck brace and wheelchair props. We're living in fantasy land.
  5. 555>Everything went according to the script. Played out by the best actors money can buy.The prop dept decided at the last minute to throw in a neck brace and arm sling to help alleviate the hypertension. His BP picture shows a sick and sorry excuse for a human. Yingy is on the runway at Heathrow as we speak. The charade isn't over yet.She will be welcomed at the airport in a wheelchair and a bouquet of roses claiming to have only 6 months to live.. on and on we go..
  6. At one time I worked in Libya for an O&G co. During Ramadan very little got done as they were fasting all day and didn't have the energy to do anything. Then in the evening they would pile their food dishes high and deep and gorge themselves. An eye opener for this guy. Many of them in the HSE/Safety dept. had Masters degrees from UK on the govt dime (courtesy of the "colonel") Most were lazy and incompetent IMHO.
  7. V--I did my own visa renewal for several years. Then one year of nit picking BS I snapped (inside) and decided to go the agent route. The IO like it because it's easy money and they don't have to even see or talk to any of us. I am 100% convinced that the whole shebang is in on it. They can't come out and say it but after 2 decades here It's obvious to me now. A ship's captain I met told me his married visa was up for renewal and he had to leave the country.A senior IO told him to put 18k on the table and he'd have his new visa shortly. As much as a like living here the whole place is on the take. How is convict Tony being allowed out of prison he never stayed one night in.The coppers even supplied a chopper for him.What a joke.
  8. I don't think it's enough to worry about.When I worked in the ME one employer paid everyone in USD cash.I often flew in BKK airport with over 10k in cash. Nobody asked and I didn't tell. Mind you that was over 15 yrs ago. I know that you're supposed to declare that amount but , oh well. If asked I could have shown a pay advice. One time waiting to board a plane at Heathrow to Tripoli a security fellow asked me how much cash I was carrying? I don't know why.
  9. I worked offshore for a few years before I retired. I worked days and my oppo Rusky worked niight shift.HSE Safety. I usually woke him up sleeping at the desk in the am. Talked a good BS story but lazy as f..
  10. A few years ago a friend was looking to buy a chainsaw to clear some land in Cambodia for his wife,s family. He had some difficulty and needed some sort of permit? Apparently due to all the illegal logging.
  11. Wouldn't they come with a safety relief valve and "pop" to release excess pressure when overheated? I wouldn't want to be very close to it when it did.I recall a safety investigation film years ago of a welding cylinder falling over and busted off the valves and it torpedoed through a wall.
  12. You have the most informed opinion concerning units facing each other affecting the sensors.IMHO as an old Marine Engineer.
  13. Bank book yes.Passport..I forget but probably.
  14. I had the same issue. I had money in my wallet I wanted refunded. The help desk walked me thru the procedure. You have to do it through the "bot" and follow the prompts. After a few stumbles it actually worked. The refund was credited to my Kbank the next day.
  15. Using my own experience on this subject I feel I should comment. I once bought a pre-owned Toyota car that was several years old from a local nurse. I mistakenly didn't do due diligence and after a couple months I discovered that the radiator fluid had never been changed along with brake pads etc. My own fault but I now would only recommend for someone to buy a 2nd hand vehicle from a farang. Working class Thais just don't have the resources to afford regular servicing of their cars/trucks.Most farangs I know can at least afford to have the thing serviced once in a while. IMHO
  16. Similarly as me. After being cut in at a 7-11 one too many times, once I had placed half a dozen items on the counter.The girl was just about to start scanning my stuff and Somchai cuts in and asks for some smokes, she reaches behind to grab them and that's when I said I was here 1st and then left the store. f em they can put all the crap back!
  17. Worked perfectly in New Zealand for me a few years ago. No questions asked.
  18. On Saturday night, the AESO had to issue an emergency alert asking households to conserve power to avert a “high risk” of rotating power outages, CBC wrote. That meant turning off unnecessary lights and appliances, minimizing use of electric space heaters, avoid cooking with a stove, and delaying plugging in electric vehicles or block heaters. https://www.theenergymix.com/alberta-premier-blames-renewables-after-cold-snap-idled-gas-plants-trigger-grid-emergency/
  19. Correct Mr Ford, Does he think Somchai will respect his usufruct contract? 555 this may happen sooner than later. It sure happened to a retired RCMP acquaintance years ago. He was away and when he came back her Somchai answered the door and not so politely told him to leave asap, which he had no option but comply. Happens here quite often.
  20. I wonder if they'll be visiting the place: operations center for inactive posts?
  21. I completely forgot about the special hoses for washing machines.I don't they excist here.They are very robust but there should always be a shut off valve nearby to open/close for convenience.
  22. Things break and deteriorate over time. A burst/leaking hose while you aren't home can cause a ton of damage especially in a condo situ.In my house there is a valve/tap that is opened and closed upon each and every use.Its never left in the open position when not in use. It's in my standing orders for all to see.555 For peace of mind I'd fix it. It probably won't cost a lot.
  23. The most/least interesting time I have spent at sea was in an old diesel submarine I was serving on in the early 70,s. 28 days submerged. Modern nukes routinely do 90 days. No distractions.
