  1. Been hearing a lot about Stem Cell therapy to speed up healing Pretty interesting & seems quite a few clinics opened in Mexico now with many US customers
  2. Sadly I think he passed on. He was not well a few years ago last we spoke.
  3. Kind of true & more to the point excess width. Make people walk between two poles if they don't fit have an up-charge for double seat. Or make wider seats etc Otherwise they get on lift the arm rest and basically are sitting partially on our seat too. Prices are high enough that we should not be asked to share our seat
  4. I have not read all 17 pages so it may have also been said already but...... Not all Thai families are the same. A couple decades ago before I married I asked my future Thai In-laws what was expected as I heard about Sinsod My in-laws were not well off but just retired farmers living in a small village. My future MIL said we do not sell our daughter but if you love her & she loves you we wish you happiness. That was that & I cannot say I was surprised as they raised my wife who thinks the same way. In the year that followed we helped them when we could to improve & rebuild their home & with little things. They lived till they were 93 & 89 great loving in-laws ! But as a side note...our neighbor in the village is my wife's sister. When her Thai son was getting married they had to give the Thai girls family 60k baht which was not easy for them either.
  5. But in the US the brides family "traditionally" pays for wedding. "Dowry" So actually ????
  6. If you use Brave Browser it will automatically translate the Thai pages of Kasikorn bank So on this page on the link to rates & fees they say.... So it seems they pay at the end.....Also note they say ..... Years ago banks like Ayudhya Bank Mee Tae Dai savings paid monthly what was due on yearly interest divided by twelve & also did not charge any tax till 30k a year was earned. Even then they just suggested opening another account & transfer the money so interest didn't exceed 30k
  7. My wife & I also do not use those nor any dairy actually.
  8. Nice! Much better than your first effort. You did well showing more of what your seeing. Thanks ????
  9. Your not serious are you? You do realize those that you name above were the lap dogs of the USA for many years....Heck you can add Bin Laden to that list too It was when they stopped obeying orders that they were suddenly deemed terrorist Where do you think Osama got his weaponry? It was given to him to kill Russians in Afghanistan when he was done he told the US now you get out too. So he returned the weaponry one bullet at a time Gadaffi ? He decided he would no longer sell his sweet crude to the US & France so they took it under the guise of helping the Libyan rebels who also set up a Central Bank while doing so Saddam? Big lap dog that helped US puppet regime ...He decided he would no longer price his oil in USD he also suddenly became a terrorist So maybe your confused as to who is the likely tyrant ????
  10. And yet with gun control such as quoted...folks like Hunter are supposed to get a free pass then?......Gun control exists but it is quite obvious even in this topic that "“All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others” Correct? So what use then is ever more unenforced gun control laws?
  11. If your going to be living in Thailand...You start Social Security by contacting the Philippines Manila Branch It is then direct deposited to Bangkok Bank Search the forum as there are tons of posts & info on going about the process
  12. I wonder about the problem of not even having a say in which hospital your taken to if its an emergency? Many times the ambulance is going to a certain hospital for various reasons. Proximity/agreement etc You may or may not even be conscious
  13. This is why "None of the Above" should be added to the ballot. If enough check that then they need to continue to nominate till there are folks on the ballot we actually approve of. Instead it has been choose the least worst for decades. The choices as always decided by the lobbyist/campaign super funders who will later be repaid
  14. Go for it but.....It seems you have not had first hand experience with how fragile the Male Thai ego is For them killing you over a loss of face is almost mandatory...Unless of course he has a few baht then 5k baht/$150 will see you planted somewhere by who ever he pays Really it is not your business & there is pretty much zero chance you will not regret getting involved in it
  15. In Thailand there are WAY more guns than most think. How big is your martial arts background compared to a bullet in your head? He then claims self defense & your soon forgotten TIT not your fight nor your business Thai Rak Thai ...don't get in the middle
  16. This is something Dr Peter Attia has spoken about. "When I came across the data for what the one-year mortality was for people over the age of 65 who fell and broke their hips or femurs, I thought it couldn't be right. Somewhere between 10% to 30% of people who fall and break their hip or femur will be dead within a year."
  17. Poor guy couldn't find this forum before then Social Media moved his topic here 555
  18. Glad you liked CM there is much to like there But if your doing a video of a place turn the camera around away from yourself more often ????
  19. There are so many better ways to feel good & have high energy than taking roids. As you see with your roid rage already starting + the short lived false high Try really good nutrition & exercise you will not only improve your energy but your BP will also follow
  20. Seems about right....After all they have a cement worker as Minister of Health & a Real Estate Developer as Prime Minister ???? Sits well with the 250 military appointed puppets called Senators ???? Maybe they should change the Thailand nickname from LOS to LOP (land of puppets)
  21. For dentists would depend on what province your in (Bangkok, Chiang Mai etc etc ) Then go to that province section & ask For general hospitals.health questions try the Health & Medicine Section of Forum Cambodia question I would guess in the Cambodia section of Forum
  22. So basically the same as a dog running down the street & suddenly humps someones leg. Just sex not a big problem
  23. Bad News Not to be rude but yes you have missed the boat but not the boat you think. You missed the boat of spending time with your daughter & wife. Although it is hard to tell from your post if that was something you wanted Good News You still have time. The boat you pretty much missed was the life with your Thai wife & watching your daughter growing up. The boat to move to Thailand was always there & still is. You still have some great years ahead if you choose to be in her life. Money wise what you describe is fine as most have said. It is not a lot but it is sufficient. Yes medical is the tough nut for all as they age but put a million or two aside for that & you should be ok. But mainly realize your 72 & you probably do not qualify nor can you afford insurance. So get on with it & enjoy your final years (if you want) with your daughter & wife rather than working towards some $$$ goal. At 72 you do not have all that much time left. Even if you remarkably had 20 years left that is just a blink of the eye. Remember Y2k? That was 23 years ago! If you were on your death bed now what would you be saying ? I wish I moved to Thailand years ago? or I wish I had more $$ to leave my daughter who I never really knew? Good Luck!
  24. It comes & goes depending on many things. It was awhile back but I remember when it was the opposite So you just need to keep your bulk where you get the best rates I was getting 0.25% in the USA but in Thailand at Bank of Ayudhya (Krungsri) I was getting 4% in their Mee Tae Dai savings. Was very nice as I was making one months living expenses per year in interest off that account....Ah the good old days ????
  25. A proclamation by the pigs who control the government in the novel Animal Farm, by George Orwell. "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others."
