Affordable PSA test Bangkok
Tropicalevo replied to lookingfornofixbeingthefix's topic in Health and Medicine
Thanks Sheryl, I never knew that. Avoid sexual activity - not a problem. Prostate removed. Avoid vigorous exercise - not a problem. COPD. I cannot even walk up stairs. Avoid motorbike riding - problem. I only have the motorbike. Here on Samui, 24 years, never caught a taxi - they are bandits. Walk to the clinic or lab? Not possible. 5 kilometres up and down hills. See COPD. Slow motorbike then. I have noticed that my blood pressure is above normal when they check it. I explain about the motorbike ride to the hospital. Wait five minutes- slow breathing. Blood pressure is OK -

Manipulation in Thai politics and the military? Surely not. I thought that it was compulsory. -
Former US Soldier, 82, Assaulted by Drunk Thai Man in Pattaya Park

For goodness sake. This is Thailand, not New York. My wife and I NEVER felt threatened in Thailand. At any time, day or night. Now, when we were in the UK...... -
The benefits of living alone as an older man
Tropicalevo replied to simon43's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Not sure if that helps. Older guy here has a young girlfriend - a nurse. He fell down the slope in his garden (very steep) and could not get up. His GF called a neighbour. The neighbour contacted his wife. His wife contacted a friend who spoke Thai. The friend contacted Samui Rescue. Samui Rescue contacted us for details. (We provide security.) Whilst the Chinese whispers were going on, the guy was in pain with a dislocated shoulder. Rescue eventually got the guy onto the road and off to the hospital where they checked him for and operation. Fail - he had a heart condition - the nurse girlfriend had never spotted anything. They had to ship him to the mainland to have a pacemaker fitted before they could operate on the shoulder. I was surprised about the heart condition. I did not think that the miserable, tight-fisted git had one.- 253 replies

A further five years in gaol for pointing at the copper with his foot. A big no-no. -

Advice Sought About House Rental in Thailand
Tropicalevo replied to Mick T's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Sorry, but the TM 30 system is not to blame. Many landlords do not want to record that they are collecting rent from a property. The reason is tax evasion. That is one of the main reasons that they will not do the the TM 30. You can process a TM 30 yourself but you will need a copy of the owners id card and house book. A lease is also required. A general rule (but not always the case) - cheaper properties stay under the radar. More difficult to extend a visa. Other properties that advertise through booking platforms (AirBnb etc) tend to be more honest. It is in their booking rules. -

"Self praise is no recommendation". -
The attention grabbing headline is a bit overkill for the arrest of a Burmese lady selling fake lottery tickets.
