As I noted, exceptions may exist. Note you've ignored my major point about the Germans, which refuted your amusing sudden SHOCK about the Russians. ????

WOT???

But the article didn't claim they are "bad" criminals. Just criminals. Want "bad," confine yourself to reading about "bad."

A common misguided observation. They report it constantly in the Thai press. Major Thai crimes w/ appealing drama for our ghouls, or traffic violations for our large brigade of self-righteous Brit Driving Instructors, typically get reported here. It's all about marketing. So this story was written by web content hack "Peter Roche" to appeal to the English-speaking audience only, who have an interest in the misdeeds of other farangs. The media directors know well that these kinds of articles always get lots of views from our whataboutistas such as yourself, too, who'll generate more free content for the site and even more views. Remember, if you're not paying for a product, you are the product.

I visited the tax office to show them my yellow book. They updated a record and then assured me I didn't need to pay the tax and to ignore future notices. Few besides myself are capable of such an extraordinary effort, so I understand the need by most to continue paying year after year. Cheers!

One of our fave fantasies, hee. Too bad it doesn't seem to be happenin'.

He's misinformed. 'Course, he could well look suspicious anyway, or, say, attend problematic venues subject to a drug raid, and be worried about coming under suspicion for a possible crime that he may or may not have committed. Then he'd be detained and be required to produce his passport (or have it produced) within 24 hours. Better for him to carry it, I guess. In your case?

Yeah, tremendous credibility. So, carry your passport if you're all scared now. Up2U, not my problem. @BritManTooshould chime in here now to help relieve the fear. One of the few who knows the actual situation and has that authentic cred on our forum. ????

I'm not bothering again. Go read the law yourself. And didn't arrest you (they couldn't, as you'd violated no law) or even detain you on suspicion of committing some other offense and requiring you to produce your passports within 24 hours. "Passport" is the most convenient ID to ask for. Means nothing.

The erroneous belief that foreigners are required by Thai law to carry their passports on their persons for ID, obviously.

Wrong. A forum myth that will never die despite being refuted countless times. The self-assurance with which it's repeated is always amusing.

As I suspected. I appreciate a man who consistently follows his beliefs. I've wondered why our believers in Genetics Voodoo and Fate would go against their beliefs and chase docs and meds to thwart the operations of the Voodoo. Similarly, to a lesser extent, among ostensible non-believers merely seeking that short but happy life. As in your case, their goal could be more assuredly achieved without the stress of dealing with the medical establishment. Smoke, drink, pig out, couch sit, waddle, and get on out of the way.

Well, but you're our biggest fatalist and believer in Genetics Voodoo. What is it that's supposed to be your demise just any time now? Forgot. So even though your numbers might show the need for meds, would you actually take them (contrary to the Voodoo) unless for pain? Just asking. So you're telling us your numbers are all in line:

On the contrary, they've found typical symptoms of metabolic syndrome, for which you're very conscientiously taking the meds they've prescribed for you. And you're paying your dosh for those as well. That's "much." FBS = 102, Triglyceride = 122, HDL = 37, LDL = 83, At my waist of 95 I should be 190 tall but I am only 177! Amlodepine 10mg/day, Bestatin, Baby aspirin, Micardis = 20mg. & Doxadozin for BHP. PSA = 5.4. Recognizing the seriousness of the blood pressure condition, you're religiously checking your blood pressure night and day, as well you should be. And your TG/HDL ratio is in the moderate risk morality ratio. And you see where you are at 3.3. This study used 3.5 as a cutoff: --Triglyceride–to–High-Density-Lipoprotein-Cholesterol Ratio Is an Index of Heart Disease Mortality and of Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Men And related it to diabetes. Not coincidentally your FBS suggests prediabetes, another worry. Ultimately, long-standing insulin resistance may be behind your problems. Enough with the self-delusion.

No health-related thread would be incomplete w/o an invocation to the Fate Principle of ANF Longevity Science: 9. What, me worry? II: Fate It’s me fate. Might be hit by a lorry tomorrow. Get nekkid! Some evidence that a healthy lifestyle is preventative, though, so we don't have that perfect justification here for doing nothing. Lifestyle Interventions for the Prevention of Parkinson Disease

Almost 90% of older adults regularly take at least 1 prescription drug, almost 80% regularly take at least 2 prescription drugs, and 36% regularly take at least 5 different prescription drugs. When over-the-counter and dietary supplements are included, these rates are even higher. --https://www.merckmanuals.com/home/older-people’s-health-issues/aging-and-medications/aging-and-medications Being fit and slim of course does go very far to mitigate the need for meds.

Point me to some ground-breaking posts. Actually, it seems to be ground-breaking here, as no one seems ever to observe the fact. You may find posts with quotations if you wish. The point to which I responded implied that non-prostitutes aren't promiscuous but merely being taken advantage of. How so? Or maybe you're simply too sensitive for some reason.

But I don't and I'm still >72. Now a lot of the docs and meds chasing fun starts after 50, true. But the happiness engendered by an unhealthy lifestyle may start far earlier: Diagnosed cases of type 1 and type 2 diabetes are surging among youth in the United States. From 2001 to 2017, the number of people under age 20 living with type 1 diabetes increased by 45%, and the number living with type 2 diabetes grew by 95%. --https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/p0824-youth-diabetes.html No matter the age, the blood work determines whether you need any meds. Obviously, you'd have to know all the numbers and what they mean, as many don't and refuse to find out while an underlying preventable condition just gets worse.???? I love this forum. All the social Darwinism.

All our short but happy life advocates should be required to post a list of their meds and ailments so that members may fully appreciate the happiness presently enjoyed. They may compare with their own list or perhaps look forward to what additional happiness awaits them. The other day a diabetic member posted a misleading pic of a rich desert w/ nary a mention of his condition. In fairness, he should have put his meds in the pic as well. So, let's have your list.

The applause of the peanut gallery is deafening. Such is the only conclusion reached by ANF Longevity Science, according to the Principles uncovered over the years by our well-qualified Researchers. Smoke, drink, eat cr*p, sit on your *ss, waddle around with a big belly to ensure a short but happy life, with a sudden and pleasurable ending with a smile on your face during a bonk. In practice, as seen daily in the Health forum, the ending seems instead unhappy, preceded by decades of chasing docs, meds, surgeries, pain and suffering, and paying medical bills. Premature morbidity then leads to strokes, dementia, loss of mobility, etc. Why, of our two lead Researchers, one vanished after complaining of chronic dizziness; another, vocal advocate of doing nothing, suffered early BPH and now the ill effects of a seemingly failed Rezum. Rather comports with what I observe among friends following the early morbidity path. None of the early deceased ended with a smile on their face, all bravado quite exhausted. The cool thing is that none suffering the obvious ill effects of a lazy, self-defeating lifestyle will ever admit to having been foolish by not pursuing the long but happy life, avoiding the need for docs and meds, feeling great in later years and compressing morbidity to a short period at the very end.

A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that creatine supplementation improved measures of memory compared with placebo. Benefits were more robust in older adults, perhaps because brain creatine content is thought to decline with age.

One might be amazed, after reading here, to learn of the vast number of free women in Bangkok also just looking for a bit of the good old rumpy pumpy, as our Brits like to say. For them the problem is similar, finding a farang who isn't so old, fat, boring, and generally vile. Friends of mine with looks, charm, and good conversational Thai have no problems at all.
