  1. You must only know rich addicts that have $$$ for their habit. Because the poor ones know no limit to how low they will go to get a fix
  2. If this is not a problem for you go this way! Mainly because it is also a heap easier/less hassle than than the based on marriage route even if you can get by with your partnership version. For health insurance I have had great luck with AA Insurance Brokers They will quote both Thai based & International based packages
  3. Yes for sure & one thing about removable dentures either partial or full upper what is important is have a good dentist take the time to fit them perfectly! I had a lower partial done in CM & never wore it for two years because it was just not comfortable Then I met a dentist in the country who asked about it & I showed her. She said oh yes & started fitting it & to this day I wear it all the time as it is perfect!
  4. While I agree many things made in Thailand or "For Thai market" in China is very low quality I do not limit this condition to just those things. I have had high quality leather dress shoes made in Europe just fall apart in a shoe cupboard after a year or two in Thailand. I mean I went to pick them up & the uppers just came off the soles I think it is just the insane heat & humidity that destroys many things things in Thailand
  5. Yes for sure there are some good ones out there but, Again why did you only find one after being pre diabetic What I am saying is sadly our systems don't do enough up front to educate & of course free will being free many folks don't ever try to improve themselves till it is nearly too late Which is why I said
  6. I am keeping my fingers crossed but, I also think that is a big reason why the FED Reserve has been so aggressively raising rates Trying to kill the inflation number as much as they can before that date then try to claim its down so SS COLA is only xxx% I hope I'm wrong on that one ????
  7. Kind of a big part of why Thailand is the way it is with the government it deserves Sadly Thai's are taught from young not to question ( some may interpret as minding their own business) But sadly it is much more. It is why they never question a doctor,teacher,police,government official etc etc But it goes deeper & more linked to a class system hi-so/lo-so obedience As you said in your first post most would be quiet basically so the Puu Yai Baan is not losing the face he obviously deserves to lose for not using funds probably sent for these things Fortunately there is a new younger generation of Thai's coming up that will likely change this & more or die trying

  9. So true & sadly these days many people go to many "so called" specialists. These specialist seem as you said to only ever treat symptoms. It is as if they are all getting a commission on how many scripts they write? Also the days of having a good general doc watch over your total health are gone. You had better always do this yourself & double check if you take any scripts, do they have bad interactions with other scripts you take? I saw this with my parents I take nothing & in the past if I started to have say high blood pressure I looked into my diet made changes & now have great BP averages 115/70 Same for cholesterol changes saw improvements Yet when I first showed high BP the doctor said Oh need to get you kn BP meds pronto So as you say they never say Oh your BP is high what do you eat/do? These days I always say our first line of defense is stay out of the whole medical system. Take care of ourselves as best we can. Check things ourselves & try our best to fix problems as they arise. Of course there will always be a need for medical services but not every little thing/symptom needs a drug to fix
  10. So we should also attack Israel or thats ok? Cut the nonsense we are not the police of this world
  11. The usual need to deflect to previous admins has nothing to do with now This is war mongering pure & simple Example #1 Giving Billions in weapons to Ukraine has nothing to do with so called caring for democracy as they could care less for the Ukrainians instead it is selling weapons albeit once again on US taxpayers dime & then given freely to the Ukranians to Taunt Russia & Let Ukraine fight a proxy war Example #2 The so called love of Taiwan & helping to protect their freedoms? Right... first House Speaker to visit Taiwan since Newt Gingrich in 1997 So instead just once again selling/promising weapons/support again while US taxpayers pay & to Taunt China Example #3 now this silly show in South Korea to what? Taunt N Korea is all America's only adversaries these days are in the White House & trying their best to start a WWIII
  12. 'She must think we're stupid': Trump lawyer dismantles New York AG Letitia James' lawsuit claims
  13. No of course never but John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State said it best about America.. "But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy" I have attached his speech which is short & worth the read IMHO 1821secofstateJQAdmas.pdf

    gold and money

    This is the same as any religion They convince the people/congregation that money is the root of all evil & they can pave their way to heaven/nirvana by letting it go via donations/tambun etc to the church/Wat etc etc
  15. Warning? More like provoke/taunt The problem with this war mongering current government is they are doing this on so many fronts. It is as if the Military Industrial Complex needs a boost so bad via war that this government owes them the favor of providing it. Sadly it looks daily more & more like they will get what they want & throw this world into WWIII Because there is nothing calming about the current crop. Instead they throw fuel constantly on every spark they find.
  16. That is crazy Do yourself a favor & just get a car new models 2700 baht for 4 days Air con & safer too especially for tourists CM car rental 4 days
  17. This government keeps saying "Let Them Eat Cake"/“Qu’ils mangent de la brioche” Hopefully this government eventually gets the same response Marie Antoinette did
  18. He then turned around & demanded Health minister to find a cure for cancer NOW !
  19. Hi Sorry to hear about the loss of your friends ???? But I would like to ask what was the condition of your average friend? Meaning were they fit or not? Did they smoke? Drink regularly? Overweight? I am asking because I have seen both sides even here in the West & medical care or not it did not matter for many with tons of medical treatment. They took their daily cocktail of pills to ease Blood pressure/Cholesterol/Heart rhythms etc etc Because they tended to think they could party as they always did, eat what they always ate regardless of what it was doing to them. Rather than make some changes that would have helped My parents were the same way & died in their early 70's but their parents went into their late 80's easily as they did not have the same habits. Not that it matters as I always say folks should live their life the way they want regardless, but since this thread is semi claiming it was Thailand or lack of medical care in Thailand that causes shorter life span I would like to know what type of person are we talking about?
  20. Those guys are great for service too!
  21. Actually at 105 I would say he has proven to have more sense than most ????
  22. 1,105 people out of 70 Million, ok close enough ????
