Tadalafil - OTC in Thailand or not?
Hey, I get the challenge with switching meds before cataract surgery. In Thailand, Tadalafil usually requires a prescription, so you might need to visit a local pharmacy or doctor to get it. -

The most ridiculous aspect of this nonsense is the believe that Trump will do anything else than lining the pocket of his sponsor and familly. -

living in a (non-Thai) village
A lot of us have experience living in villages in Isan. Whether it's a good decision or not, many farang have been doing it for many years: It's a widely accepted situation. What interests me right now is if anyone here has any personal experience or specific knowledge about farang living in a village in Laos, Cambodia or Vietnam?? I assume it's far less common than farang living in Isan villages. But is it something that a farang can actually manage in those countries? My suspicion is that it's significantly more difficult, due to a higher presence of opportunistic crime in Cambodia and local government nuisance in Laos and Vietnam. Am I off the mark? -

Trump Campaign Accuses Kamala Harris of Campaign Finance Violations
Waiting for your fellow liberals to critique your writing, grammar and punctuation skills. That’s usually reserved for the Trumpers but maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll make an exception. Not holding my breath. @Lacessit Where are you when we need you? -

Did you know that you can suspend Social Security benefits between FRA and age 70?
This is one of those tricky ones. None of us know when we're going depart this mortal coil, and you're spinning the roulette wheel to see how much in total you're going to get back from the system. I'm just aging into Medicare, but I going to delay picking up social security for another year. I don't want to retire yet, tried it once already and I was bored outta my mind. Problem with working and pulling SS before FRA (66 and 10 months in my case) is you lose 1$ of SS for every $2 you earn over $24K. So I figure I'll do another year until I'm 66, then 10 months of them ripping me off I'll live with. My Medicare Part B, I'll pay them directly, and I've signed up for Part C with Wellmark (Blue Cross), which surprisingly also covers me for my time in Thailand for up to $50K for a bargain $64/Month. Ultimately the bottom line is as I said before, none of us know when you are gonna die. You might be dead by tomorrow lunch time, or battle on into your 90's Also, if you pick up SS early at 62 it's a huge drop from FRA. FRA to 70 huge increase, but not sure I'm prepared to wait out my longevity to make that equation worth while. This is my retirement profile, can't go backwards, but at 62 it dropped like a stone -

The "can I bring my girlfriend scam"
How do you know they were scammers if they never got in and nothing happened? Kickboxer sounds like a potential selling feature to me, not automatically a scam. -

Trump Campaign Accuses Kamala Harris of Campaign Finance Violations
Not to worry. No desire to “track” you. You’re not that important. Canada. Ah yes. Our little brother to the north. An American with a Parka and Snowshoes. Big brother will take the flak and watch over you. Some time ago I read where Canada is looking for immigrants. Would you support having buses, trains or planes at our Southern Border to take the “immigrants” that just entered our country illegally and have them transported to Canada? It could be a win win for both countries. Or do you prefer the elites (Obama) on Martha’s Vineyard attitude, “Not in my backyard “?- 1

TG visiting Ireland with UK tourist visa
Yes Thai Nations can still travel to Ireland if they are in possession of a UK short term Standard Visit visa, and have entered the UK first. This concession doesn’t apply to other categories of visa, such as Settlement. Unless you qualify for the Short Stay Visa Waiver Programme or the British Irish Visa Scheme a valid UK visa does not entitle you to travel to Ireland without a visa. Further information on these schemes is available on the website of the Irish Immigration Service -

Blackchin Tilapia Invasion Threatens Southeast Asia's Ecosystems
No, Basa is a species of catfish completely different from Tilapia, for your information. Tilapia have scales, catfish don't. Catfish have barbels (whisker-like appendages) located on the chin and sides of their mouth. However, you missed the point of my message. It's not about the fish, but where they are grown, caught or reared. I won't eat Vietnamese Catfish (aka Basa) because they are farmed in the Mekong River Delta, not because I don't like the mild flavour. I'm concerned about the pollutants in the fish, not their nutritional content. -

Is Nissan going bust?
Bought a new X-Trail 4x4 six years ago - it's been an excellent car. Very smooth ride, comfortable, quiet, spacious, reliable - great for long drives, OK off road, and has high equipment levels. But no longer available in Thailand as production shifted from Thailand to Japan. So even without the concerns about the company, I'd need to look at Honda, Mazda, Subaru (until year end) to get an equivalent 4×4 unibody SUV. Or pay much more for an imported BMW or Mercedes, or, more likely, move to a truck based SUV.
