Either way, illegal wealth distribution. A scam on the American public. Are you ready to discuss the 'suing and settling with the IRS' scam on the American people?

Just ask Google when you want what to use. The hardest one for me to find was something to edit PDFs. Master PDF Editor 4.3.89 is the last free one that doesn't watermark the documents. Works great. Easily obtainable and can be pinned in synaptic to not be automatically updated.

I suggested that because it does happen, even though it's more likely an accidental death by someone who wasn't thinking. It is one way some people kill others trying to make it look like an accident, and it has happened to friends and husbands before.

The post is about honor killing !! which happens all around the world, these premeditated murders take place in Western diasporas and immigrant communities. Research commissioned by the U.S. Department of Justice estimates that an average of 23 to 27 honor killings occur annually in the USA

I know all that, and I never disputed the tariffs (like corporate income taxes) are a tax on consumers. And again, I was always opposed to the tariffs. But you falsely claimed tariffs were stealing and tried to redefine stealing to explain it. I think most Americans have little respect for anyone that favors Iran over the US and Israel, and who refuses to answer yes or no to whether Iran should be allowed to continue developing their intercontinental ballistic missile, military drone, and nuclear programs, as you refuse to do. It is amusing to me, albeit telling the number of non-Americans that pretend to care about what's best for Americans, all the while they spew hate at us.

Medical care Private Vs. Public!

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 12:10:26 +0000

I got to get it off my chest! This is completely in the Chon Buri province my experience last 20 plus years. First, let me be cleared I do not dislike or hate any of the personnel I've been in contact throughout the years they are just doing their job but at specific hospital it seems many are disensortized realising what the are being asked to do by these corporate giants. I wanted to add my story to the thread " dual pricing " but it closed. So here it goes I won't use the name of facility but just A, B C, hospital. I use hospital A, for my wife and family for myself unless it is an emergency I stay far away I'm somewhat bless " knock on wood " at 74, very fit practice martial arts like a Shaolin monk, exercise play basketball with all ages once a week. For years, I watch first hand hospital A, although with no insurance always pay for their services, prior to any service after seeing emergency physician if overnight next person is a clerk with clipboard " what a nasty job this person has " how is this going to be paid after price is quoted. I've seen first hand as my niece was being rolled in for surgery stopped and request for payment, I've seen and heard an expat in pain crying out in emergency staff knowing full well what the problem was yet continue to pressure patient and friend how was surgery was going to be covered. Recently someone very close and dear had a heart attacked that needed 4 stents yet they did two, then ICU, waited until I came pay the first two then gaurantee the other stents. Whenever, any service is needed with my own family I've used my son or wife to do all the talking and admission while I lay back out of sight never have I seen them being pressure for payment or any Thai for that matter. Years ago my nose was broken I needed it adjusted nothing major so I can breath better quoted one price, next visit quoted double I questioned the price " clerk said straight out you a Farang " Fast forward, for the last year I as a favor for another family I was ask to be the executor for a distance relatively I've not seen in 40 years who resided in Bangkok, a fentanyl addict, long with a number of physcotic medication, along with being in poor medical and physical condition 73 but look like 93, also a hypocondriaci.l, 2 plus packs of cigarettes a day and a lifetime of marijuana use I brought him to Pattaya lease a house and he was under 24/7 private nurse care. I continue this past year taking him back to Bangkok under medical supervisor to reduce his addiction we were successful in him quitting the fentanyl. In spite of success each time when not around a few days he demands nurses take him to hospital A, emergency there he act up and demands pain killers etc, although he had numberous blood test, hearts scans, x-ray long list in the computer majority of his symptoms come from side effects of the physcotic drugs being reduce any discomfort will tell physician pain level is 10 just so to get a fix. So last month I got a call from his nurse high BP, fever slight cough, taking him to hospital A, I met him at emergency as soon as he exit vehicle talk a bit I knew he had pneumonia not a bad case but he has been diagnosed 20 years ago COPD, from his work given a large payout and went on SSI disability so knowing Hospital A, he was going to be told overnight observation medication. His breathing was laboring but nothing heavy with his age condition I understand the suggestion. But what I noticed last few years especially foreigners, slightly high BP, fever it was ICU, it was no longer go upstairs to a hospital room 10,000 baht VIP, but ICU 60-80,000 a no brainier. While talking to the doctor and nurses explaining with help from my Thai nurses showing them legal documents as to who he was and medication he was taking it was imperative instructions be follow the attending physician basically made faces indicating go myself! Of course next up payment lady, 3 days 80,000 baht a night ICU, I signed the gaurantee, thereafter told an hour they will move him, thinking everything was OK, I had other business do had my nurse stay. Next day I learn my nurse was there for 4 hours to midnight in emergency because they were uncertain of my gaurantee they said nothing just silence. Next morning ICU, he seems OK still laboring a bit being who he is complains about pain need medication but not for his lungs but cramps on his legs. Just let medication work I leave to have coffee downstairs when I return they had strapped him down stuck a breathing tube down his throat from there it went downhill fast. He had tubes everywhere look like I should bring a priest to bless his last moments. 3rd, day they had no clue what was wrong with him, but now office said we need a deposit of 300,000 baht, paid, seem after we paid more test were ordered, they even brought in someone to massage his leg at 5000 baht a pop, another two days one moment he is fine the next no but hospital had no problem calling me at 11pm at night to come down and pay another 300,000, Next morning I spoke to another Doctor get him ready I'm moving him. Even with all legal documents they were saying who the F are you? I told the clerk I'm the guy that isn't going to pay another baht. I contacted his lawyers in Bangkok within an hour the tone change many of the staff realized what I was telling them being an addict and having a mental disorder not was getting the picture biggest problem because they stuck the tube down his throat he wasn't given his needed physcotic meds now was showing signs of withdraw, High BP, cry of pain. So with Lawyers threat we started to look for alternatives down the road surrounding areas many of the hospital didn't have rooms available ICU, for someone who wanted to transfer. We were moving for two reason treatment and cost we were spending 300,000 baht every day with no end in sight. Finally that afternoon the lawyers arrange a hospital Bang Sean. I put down 100,000 deposit for his care 7 days later, 2 in ICU, 2 in minimum ICU, 3 in a VIP room, checkout with ambulance ride back to Pattaya 62,000 baht. This was a real eye opener but I learn and visited a number of good alternative hospital in the area. They didn't speak as much English but I felt what I saw and experience the facility were much better than Hospital A. Not done, from this experience came another many expats visitor rave about Hospital A, and how cheap care is compare to the West. I always wonder if it is t one of these cookie cutter treatment something major like cancer what is the cost. Well, if you have in general 3 million baht or lucky to have coverage that what it would take? If you don't, the alternatives are other government places like Queen or Burapha University but Oncology isn't fully staff Doctor comes once a week for many of the test one must go to Chon Buri Provincial where staffing visits 3 times. The wait up call is one gets there at 6:30 am, and there are hundreds waiting just to see an general doctors we finally saw one at 3pm. With Stage 4 lung cancer limited funds this is the reality of living here. Thanks my vent!

The most dangerous place to be is in the woods on opening day on public land. A friend was also shot in the face by birdshot when a pheasant went up between him and another hunter, Blinded him in one eye. A few die every year being shot by someone who mistook them for a deer, which isn't easy to do. It's rookie excitement usually or people pulling loaded guns out of cars with their hand near the trigger that kills others.

Pretty sure you were also taught not to go hunting boozed up. These guys I reckon were village guys. Chances of alcohol in the system therefore high. They were friends and one friend killed another going after moo pa. The whole notion of murder is way off the track IMHO but you never know.

I was never a weapon mounted light guy on an any weapon because of the need to then point the weapon at a human to use the light. If I aim at a person, that person will be shot. I always used a QD scope for scouting for the same reason I did have a weapon light with my M4 because that was part of bug out kit Never point your gun at anything you dont want to destroy

Good post. It's all about background, isn't it? Before coming here I traveled overland across Asia on the Hippie Trail riding two-up on a friends BMW 650. That, and earlier travels in Europe and the Caribbean sort of prepared me for the omnipresent weirdnesses we found here in the late 1970s.

Deer see orange or red as brown or gray. They can see blues and yellows , but mixed colors fool their eyes. Good camouflage is a mixed pattern and doesn't have to be like army camouflage. The worst thing a hunter can do is wash his hunting clothes in regular detergent with brighteners. The deer will pick him off rather easy even without movement. Not wearing anything blue or yellow helps.

I have a friend in England who had the same problem, whenever he went into a car showroom where the cars were parked in a sales lot he said he was always ignored, I went with him once and he was surprised when a sales assistant came rushing over to ask me what I was looking for. The friend said no matter what clothes he wore even a top end suit he was ignored as it looks like he could not afford to buy what he was looking at, the funny thing was he was very well off. I go to a have my car serviced at a main dealer and wait for it to be done, I step into the car showroom to have a look at the latest models and am asked if I need help straight away. Some people attract more attention than others, it is just life.

I know people do it, but I've never understood how you can "mistake" a person for a deer, or and elk, or a boar. I've lined up shots in my sights and the cross-hair is a game animal. However, it happens. My grandfather was shot in the hand by some moron who "mistook him for a deer." I'll never understand. These people hear something in the brush and fire blind. If you do something like that, you would never be allowed near a firearm again, after your prison sentence is complete.

Well, and the solution would be so easy. Americans will withdraw their threat, lift all sanctions, unfreeze the money, pay compensations, and let them build the nuclear bomb....to keep Israel calm and peaceful. Peace in middle east?🤔 And the Straight of Hormuz will be free for ever. (I know it's a dream)
