CymruAmByth Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 It has just dawned on me (after 4 years of living LOS) that after showering there is no longer the equivalent of a small dog's worth of hair on the floor. This used to be the cause of much concern in the UK, but now I would go head-to-head with George Clooney in the Full Head Of Hair contest! Also, if I sit really still, I'm convinced I can see my fingernails growing at an alarmingly fast rate. Anyone else noticed similar changes since living here??

thai121 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Yes, after only 6 months here, i'm noticing a number of changes ........ I agree with the Nails, but sadly, my hair has started falling out at an increasing pace. I've never really noticed the 'poodle in the plughole', but I've not had to brush or comb my hair for many a month On the positive side, I have lost nearly 3 stone without even trying ........ and i'm happier & healthy (ish).

Anyone else noticed similar changes since living here?? PS...YES, I am bored stiff today Well ,Im pleased to see this topic...thought I was going Ga Ga. My hair which always grew at a regular rate over these 67 years has now slowed right down...tough on the barber!,but both my finger and toenails are growing at a rate of knots..need to sharpen up the clippers. Ive been here 5 months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the 3 stone secret? Whilst I am delighted about my Woolly Mammoth tendancies on the hair front, the midriff is growing as fast as the fingernails!

thai121 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Well I've always quite liked Chinese food .... but until moving here, I honestly didn't know how much I'd love Thai food. Intially though, I trained myself to stay within a 20 metre range of a 'safe' toilet, now however things have calmed down considerably i'm glad to say Also, moving here from Italy (where again I had a fondness for food) helped I guess. Pasta like 'momma' makes, does tend to give you a waistline like 'Momma' has! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will stay in and watch my fingernails grow instead of watching the Tiger beer disappear from my glass. That might help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's your answer - better nutrition . Yep...correct. Laziness and the ability to pick up the phone for a Subway along with no excercise is having an effect. Still delighted about the hair though!

Jet Gorgon Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Agree. Hair and nails grow faster, skin is softer, never had any skin complaints, except dry patches near my tail bone that I put down to sitting in cane chairs. Used raw aloe vera on that and on the occasional sunburn. Some folks say the humidity cleared up their excema. Funny, after many, many years in Asia, I'm back in Canada and after several months, developed a weird excema-like rash on one palm and one heel. Never had it in my whole life. Wish I was back in the jungle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebusjones Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 What's a "stone?" And how much is "3 stones?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 What's a "stone?" And how much is "3 stones?" 1 stone = 14 pounds (UK weight) therefore 3 stones = 42 pounds. I'm sure you can convert to kilograms should you need to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracker Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I've been here over 7 years, and never had my hair cut since that 7 years. They stay at same length. It's not getting more or less. Have a ponytail most of time (so a bit long)... and yep, nails do grow fast! Always wondered why my hair stopped getting longer..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaoPo Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 When I'm in the tropics or Far East in general I grow in lenght ! I would estimate about 0,5-1,0 cms/month. Weird indeed. Think it's the humidity which causes growth because of more 'water' in the body. The odd thing is I slim down as well. LaoPo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai121 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 3 Stone in Kilo The 'old' imperial measure of weight in the UK, still used by us 'oldies' well me anyway Turns out it's only 19 kilo's ......... so infact I lost more than that ..... around 22 kilos from my first weigh in. Have to admit that 'some' of it is making a return though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirkGently Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Pony tails on men are just wrong. To add to this, I find my hair grows quicker, (or is it because they are cheaper) but small wounds heal slower. A cut on my leg took forever to cure.

A cut on my leg took forever to cure. Dirk, you have to carry a mini bottle of Betadyne (iodine; about Bt25 and as small as a lighter) with you at all times. As soon as you get a cut or scrape, blob a bit of Betadyne on it and let it dry. Follow up after each shower. The wound dries up quickly and the immediate application saves you from getting infections. How long you been in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
