  1. snake oil medicine show, also don't inject bleach
  2. insomnia, might want to consider an overnight take home apnea test , based on some classes I took we older folks need 5.5 hours , the rest is ok if you can get it. and work backwards from a wake up time, using an alarm , cold shower in the morning for cortisol and bright light , less screens before bed, Trazadone is what our dr's give, its not addicting , you break break it up in 1/4 or 1/2 , may also be placebo effects with melatonin (there is a slow release version fwiw)
  3. sorry, am not sure what that means, what is pushing paper, and which top tier, or how would one find one? feel free to DM
  4. and there is no public lists of agents for CW , is that correct?
  5. Costco had Edamame Spaghetti, but returned it, as also been having some unexplained stomach pains, and avoiding fermentation, however they had a Rotini chickpea/lentil/cauliflowr , that seems to be OK on both gut and sugar so far , things like this come and go out of stock though, I've 3 boxes :) cruxiform veges like brocolli and cauliflower are on the FODMAP lists to avoid fwiw , along with all legumes
  6. thought that for many years, re: Basmati and sugars, recently started doing some glucose testing, turns out even if eaten after vegetables etc, and eaten in small quantities , the basmati causes large spikes, maybe from insulin resistance built up. here there is cauliflower rice, but personally, i'm off breads, rices and noodles , even whole grains like quinoa , here we also have Plant Pasta, which I've found to be tasty enough and causes no large spikes ; we even have cauliflower crust pizzas, but its the ultra-processed food, to also avoid, in part cause of the imbalance of omega 3 and 6s ..
  7. 90 days, sorry that is what I was trying to ask. I've done the 60/30 a few times before, but never just the straight Non-O
  8. dont forget to mask around others especially the elderly
  9. any pro/cons of getting a 90 non-o vs a 60 day TR then a 30day extension @ CW? ; even if I don't attempt an extension of stay?
  10. yes, I'm aware of all that, I've a Thai account, i mentioned politics because you did. can I do the extension at 55 days or does it require it to be within 2 weeks for the end of say, a non-O PS: I actually *do enjoy studying Thai and have a school from the past fwiw
  11. so, the place I stay, isn't a long term lease, it's month to month, the owner, owns various buildings and rents out the individual rooms , I'm thinking 1 year extension of stay with re-entry visa, I can get a TM30 though. its just a thought to have the backup of the visa, for myself its not a huge amount of money to not then need to think about Visas for long stays and yes, I may lose my health care insurance , with Trump in charge, though, it may be vague how and when it is done, right up until it happens
  12. actually, I've done many long stays before previous to the O-A changes, and might also consider a Non-O ; and try an extension, but I guess I'd have to stay for closer to 90 days? I may only be in Thailand 2-3 months at a time , but with the current political environment, and what it might do to my insurance, I might like to have the EOS situation already set up to go , though, am not sure if my usual rental would suffice for BKK Chang Wattana EOS's they won't provide the owners YellowBook or BlueBook, they might provide something signed by the Admininstrative Assistant only.
  13. so, I live in the US, I've no ED visa, nor seeking one. Possibly Seeking the DTV based on studying Thai but, will only be visiting for 2 months , how best would it be to do this ? hmm, did things change and it is no longer required to prove that one is doing actual eductation, but instead must now have 500k THB when applying in Thai Bank only, no other requirements?
  14. 10/6/25 Hello , I'm wondering if there are any recents reports on obtaining a DTV for Thai Language Ed. in Bangkok, from US LA consulate, (which is my required consulate to use, here in the US) ? 1) What if I just paid for 2 months of education at my school of choice, and left the country after 2 months, for the remainder of the year? 2) say I came back the following year, would I then need to be enrolled in advance at the language school? 3) would I need to not return for 1 year? to then re-entry ? sorry, if these are basic questions.
  15. can't have it done in the .uk ? or does one lose health benefits , if they live outside the .uk ?
