  1. Perhaps you can explain why HMG has not enacted legislation to address the situation. Wasn't one of the primary reasons given for Brexit HMG can easily address such issues. e.g. Germany has been successful with rejecting West Balkan asylum seekers.
  2. Regards Thailand obviously incorrect. Thai government has practised attempted forced assimilation of ethnic Malays since 1909; for your reading... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Siamese_Treaty_of_1909
  3. I suggest it would be a good idea for you to back up your claims with credible links as per forum rules. It is contrary to forum rules to post defamation / inflammatory content. The author is a professional Thai Army Officer who was attending a Strategic Studies course sponsored by the Australian military. He has held a number of very senior positions such as Military Adviser to the Permanent Mission of Thailand to United Nations. are you claiming all Officers serving in senior roles are sympathisers to Islamist terror, which, BTW, is not the motivation for the deep South conflict. Given the author's resume he is a credible source, you are not. https://www.linkedin.com/in/senior-col-chumphot-nurakkate-78350841?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F I suggest you read the following... https://sydney.thaiembassy.org/en/content/muslims-in-thailand-under-royal-benevolence
  4. The paper was written by a Thai Army Officer, it is not propaganda. However, if you wish to remain ignorant, your choice.
  5. Why is a Buddhist preaching nationalism, it runs counter to Buddhist philosophy. Secondly I suggest you do some research on the deep South conflict before posting again.

  6. Subcapsular orchiectomy is perhaps a better method, which was the path my surgeon used. However, neither methods cure prostate cancer if it is advanced stage prostate cancer at the time of surgery. https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-topics/orchiectomy-prostate-cancer#:~:text=An orchiectomy is done to,the front of the scrotum.
  7. It is incorrect to state hormone treatment for prostate cancer has no side effects. As an example potential side effects from Lucrin... https://www.pcfa.org.au/awareness/further-detailed-information/commonly-used-drugs-in-treatment-of-prostate-cancer/lucrin/ Naturally side effects vary from person to person. In my case Lucrin contributes to weight gain (i.e. male breasts) and constant constipation.
  8. OK. I had the surgery seven years ago, don't recall being told robotic surgery was available as a public patient, only as a private patient. I do recall, even with insurance, gap fee for robotic surgery was AUD20,000.
  9. Here in Australia prostate cancer in the number three cancer cause for death in men, At time of diagnosis I had Gleason Score of 4+5. During the decision making process I was provided a booklet which talked to stats on treatment outcomes, stages of prostate cancer etc. You can download similar info from prostate cancer orgs in UK, USA and so on. I decided to have non robotic prostatectomy surgery Robotic surgery not available from public medicare. The decision to proceed to surgery was made as Urologist informed me he had a number of patients who had declined surgery due to possible impotence which they later regretted as they faced the consequences. Wishing you the best...
  10. OP I had a PSA test in Thailand which claimed to show no presence of PSA. A few months later I had returned to Australia and out of curiosity had another PSA test - I had no symptoms. Cut a long story short I was diagnosed with advanced aggressive prostate cancer. Given the result of your Pirads test I would not hesitate to follow up with a reputable oncologist. It is claimed surgery is the 'golden' treatment. Regards the possibility of impotent and/or incontinency, would you prefer death from prostate cancer? From my story I suffered from inability to pass urine after surgery which was very stressful, but resolved after four months, but I am impotent - personally I prefer my current status to death - each to their own.
  11. I've been following this topic as I was diagnosed with advanced aggressive prostate cancer seven years ago. I underwent prostatectomy surgery in Australia. As the cancer had spread. I have been receiving quarterly Lucrin injections. Approx six months ago PSA count was rising rapidly and now also receiving Casodex tablets daily and projected to require chemo in the coming months. End of life is guesstimated in about 3/5 five years. Getting to the point I'm considering returning to UK after 40+ years overseas. Has your experience of returning to England for NHS medical support been straight forward? BTW whilst I have no assets in the UK, my daughter resides in England with three children. Thanks for your input.
  12. Is this a very recent change? Back in 11/22 I purchased scripts for overseas travel. All were fulfilled ate the seniors price for a script i.e. $6.30 per Script. Today bought a small eye fillet steak for $20.00 - cost per kilo AUD$90.00 at the local butcher!
  13. The very depth of human depravity to murder children. Extremely cruel crime and so very sad.
  14. You can access Agoda or another platform to ascertain examples of cost of accommodation. What are you to dos whilst in Thailand, interests and so on
  15. Peshawar is an area that continually suffers from terror attacks by Islamists. Some years back a Pakistani military school was attacked with 132 children murdered.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Peshawar_school_massacre
  16. Read the content at URL below. Will explain by someone who actually knows what they are talking about. https://defence.gov.au/ADC/Publications/documents/Shedden/2012/SheddenPapers12_120306_ConflictinThailand_Nurakkate.pdf

  19. Last November in Pattaya I fell over on some rocks, locals called an ambulance due to heavy bleeding from my head. Taken to Memorial Hospital in Pattaya. Had CT brain scan and ten stiches which cost 12,000 baht.

  21. Alleged to be killing by extremist French Nationalist recently released from jail. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64077668
  22. Media has provided a few more details. The killers were two brothers and a sister in law. They had shot two police and whilst they were down walked up to them and shot them again. The killers also murdered a neighbour. It is alleged they were believers in a yet to be identified conspiracy group. Special Police later shot the three of them in an exchange of gun fire, I assume they were police snipers. Six dead after Queensland police ambush (msn.com)
