Odd that no one has stated the obvious, that one of the most common ailments of the elderly is venous insufficiency in the legs. An estimated 70%+ of adults will have the issue by age 75. One of the sad realities of aging is that the risk of developing CVI increases by about 6% every year. Trump has a "disease", and it is called aging. The  ridiculous  part of this thread is that  I expect many of the people squealing about this, have a similar condition.</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 14:23:46 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Andrew Drummond and Adam Howell</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395037-andrew-drummond-and-adam-howell/?do=findComment&comment=20525800]]></link><description>His initials were JC I do not think its allowed to give his full name. As I said what evidence to you expect to be around after 25 years, and I did find a post from 4 years ago mentioning the same event. This is not a court, you believe me or not, why would I make it up? I have not claimed he engaged in wrongful, unless you mean his nightlife activities., are you claiming that was wrong? However, many did take out defamation cases against him, which seems to be why he ran away.</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 14:21:45 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Giving way crash helmets - is this a good idea?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395441-giving-way-crash-helmets-is-this-a-good-idea/?do=findComment&comment=20525799]]></link><description>if you read my post, you'll see I don't think it's better than nothing - "they can't go out and enforce the laws.

I would go back to the bank and push the chargeback as the service was never delivered, they are just being difficult - it should fall clearly under chargeback as service not rendered (this should be the easiest)        - Possibly just get the standard chargeback form and submit it directly (don't give them all the detail just say the service was never rendered and no refund yet)        - You can escalate to Bank of Thailand if they are pushing back here: https://services.bot.or.th/cpm?lang=th  2. You can claim under the Office of Consumer Protection Board      - Submit claim here: https://complaint.ocpb.go.th/      - They will go and sue the company to take action (does take some time though)      - Note you may need to attend a mediation session for this  3. You could try and report it as a financial crime/scam given the length of time for refund with the TSCD    - This one is a bit questionable so I would leave it until last    - Submit here (not sure if need an ID card for this though) https://www.thaipoliceonline.com/</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 14:13:09 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Are Single Men In Thailand Much Better Off Financially?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395139-are-single-men-in-thailand-much-better-off-financially/?do=findComment&comment=20525795]]></link><description>While your logic is interesting you obviously have not talked to single working men.  A single man is even more of a target than a married one.  A married man can say he has family expenses a single man has othing and if he id reletively wel off then he is even more of a target,  The family will still look tohim to help with younger brotheror sister. Aunties will be allover him to help.  BTW this is not just a Thai thing it is also one that has been around in the wes for along time as welll.</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 14:12:40 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Farage Donor Linked to Bangkok Office Addresses</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395475-farage-donor-linked-to-bangkok-office-addresses/?do=findComment&comment=20525794]]></link><description>I wonder why the remarkably successfull businessman can't maintain a decent office ?

The implications are significant. If  cargo and baggage from Thailand is suspect, it will result in; -lengthy delays to clear incoming baggage disrupting flight operations - requirements of the airlines and cargo carriers to post financial guarantees or to incur additional customs clearance costs There are economic consequences. If the problem is so severe, it can result in reduced  flight and transit clearances.</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 14:09:30 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Word Association - 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1383425-word-association-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20525792]]></link><description>Chatter</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 14:07:15 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Andrew Drummond and Adam Howell</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395037-andrew-drummond-and-adam-howell/?do=findComment&comment=20525791]]></link><description>Are you really this simple? Filing a claim is not an indication of guilt or liability. None of the lawsuits succeeded. Why are you ignoring that? The process is called weaponizing the legal system. If you had any understanding of civil litigation in Thailand, you would know that the filing of petty claims against people is a tool used to pressure people. The  plaintiffs are hoping that if they file enough of the claims that they can run up the defendants costs and pressure the person to back off. In Thailand, there is no downside to filing these types of claims. In these claims, the plaintiff can escape having to pay the cost of the defendants defense when the suit is withdrawn or dismissed. The classic example is  that of the Phuketwan news. It was harassed into closure. None of the charges was proven true, but the expensive and  time consuming case along with the threats wore out the publisher. This is the same strategy  Mr. Drummond's attackers are pursuing.</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 14:05:48 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Word Association - 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1383425-word-association-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20525790]]></link><description>Chat</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 14:02:59 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Word Association - 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1383425-word-association-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20525789]]></link><description>Group</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 14:01:13 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What are you Snacking on now?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1364169-what-are-you-snacking-on-now/?do=findComment&comment=20525788]]></link><description>Just an apple cake</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 14:00:39 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>50,000 Russian Jews leave Israel for Russia</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394298-50000-russian-jews-leave-israel-for-russia/?do=findComment&comment=20525787]]></link><description>It's unbelievable that the followers of shicklgruber haven't given up yet</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 13:59:10 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What are you Snacking on now?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1364169-what-are-you-snacking-on-now/?do=findComment&comment=20525786]]></link><description/><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_05/apple-cake-2-jpeg-211292-1.jpg.67521d34d689d5978ebcc08e2e480da1.jpg" length="302783" type="image/jpeg"/><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 13:57:56 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Andrew Drummond and Adam Howell</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395037-andrew-drummond-and-adam-howell/?do=findComment&comment=20525785]]></link><description>You have made multiple claims about Mr. Drummond, but have not  substantiated one of them. You claimed he wrote a negative article on a senior US embassy  employee, yet you cannot provide the article, nor the  individual's name. You claimed he has engaged in  wrongful activities, yet you cannot provide any documentation, such as a criminal conviction or substantiated evidence. Know who have had  run ins with regulatory and judicial systems? The people Drummond exposed. Not one  acknowledgement of their own histories of wrongdoing. All you are doing is throwing whatever you can in the hopes that readers won't look at the actual facts or do a quick search on the people making the allegations and see that they are a tawdry vile collection of  villains; pimps, boiler room operators and fraud schemers.</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 13:55:17 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Shocking Report about the IDF&#xB4;s Torture and Rape Methods</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1393130-shocking-report-about-the-idf%C2%B4s-torture-and-rape-methods/?do=findComment&comment=20525784]]></link><description>No, never heard about any of those. I talk about those Palestinians that claim the land where they have been uninterruptedly living on for centuries, the land which they were promised by the Brits to rule with their own government if they fight for them against the Ottomans, the land in which they - other than so many others - welcomed the Jews who were murdered in Europe and rejected in the US with open arms into their houses only to be later kicked out by the very same Jews, they had offered shelter in their most difficult time, claiming it was the land of their biblical ancestors.  Which by the way is absolute BS, even if you act on their archaic Torah and Halakha (Jewish law), functioning as a strict, gender-specific system of bloodline succession and on top of that just ignore all the other countries and realms that land was incorporated into over the Millenia, with all the other legal owners over the time, land can only be inherited by widowers or sons (and in very rare cases by daughters who have no brothers) but never by widows.   Yet to be accepted as a Jew you must be born to a Jewish mother.  Now, how many Jews are there, who can uninterruptedly prove their ancestral line back to a Jewish land owning man who lived in Judea around 2000 years ago in Judea who same as all his male descendants have without exception only married Jewish women?   This thought experiment assumes that none of them was some kind of "Highlander".  Do you realize now how unworldly it is to claim "There can only be one (people)" ?</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 13:54:25 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Query about US expats using Medicare A and B during US visits</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395497-query-about-us-expats-using-medicare-a-and-b-during-us-visits/?do=findComment&comment=20525783]]></link><description>The surgery itself part A but all the visits before and after, all the pre op teets etc, part B.
