Read some news and you'll see, but it was actually a joke -

Dem-backed Susan Crawford wins Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, cementing liberal majority
I’d be an angry militant black butch lesbian too if I had gotten a bunch of ridiculous face tattoos that made me look like the crack baby love child of Tekashi 69 and lil Wayne, only to find out that I wasn’t able to capitalize on it beyond using my likeness to troll expats on AN. But….like you, I too think it’s Bob. Sometimes, I think most of these extreme leftists here on AN are actually MAGA astroturfers who are here to make the left look even worse than they are….if that’s even possible. -

I probably should have paid the money.
Good points. Personally, I have never been in this situation of having to foot the bill without having consented to it beforehand. Contrary to what I have often read on this forum, freeloading is not, in my experience, something Thais will typically do and they will more often have a tendency to be "greng jai", i.e. feel embarrassed/awkward in the situation the OP described. But this woman's attitude definitely was out of order and I understand where the OP is coming from (though I have long stopped being confrontational in Thailand myself – In my opinion, there are more effective ways to deal with such situations privately, with no loss of face involved for anyone). -

Eye consultant and optician
Looking for a recommendation for an eye specialist in Chiang Mai (or Bangkok if necessary) to review problematic “floaters” in my left eye and separately an optician who can review my contact lens prescription. Aged 61 and have had “eye floaters” in both eyes for several years but they have never bothered me. About 7 months ago I noticed a sudden increase of “eye floaters” in my left eye and went straight to a private hospital in Chiang Mai to check for retinal detachment and was seen by an eye consultant. After dilating my pupil and conducting thorough checks I was diagnosed with vitreous degeneration with no treatment required. During this appointment and my annual eye checks cataracts have never been mentioned to me. I imported Vitro Cap N from the U.K. which contains micronutrients for changes of the vitreous body in the eyes, such as eye floaters and has had good results. After 6 months of taking Vitro Cap (as recommended) my “eye floaters” have become worse in my left eye and are now bothering me. It feels a bit like I have a windscreen wiper going across my eye. On a separate note I have struggled with finding an optician who understands and can advise on my contact lens prescription in Thailand. I have seen eye consultants at private hospitals who don’t seem to understand the astigmatism in both of my eyes and the eye tests I have had to check my contact lens prescription have been very basic with no recommendations or changes to my prescription. One eye consultant at a private hospital in Chiang Mai told me very few Thai people wear contact lenses due to the cost (which is understandable) and as a result it is not an area they are particularly knowledgeable about. Before moving to Thailand my contact lens prescription had not changed in the U.K. for several years but having not had my eyes tested in the U.K. for 6 years, since I have not left Thailand, I am keen to get a thorough contact lens assessment. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thank you. -
