If he's in a stable condition, that should stop him horsing around. His wife needs to keep him on a tight rein.

Another clueless Brit wandering without a cowbell.

You should be ashamed of yourself making a smart arse comment like that.

Things like that can happen to any older person, of any nationality, careful it never happens to you, which it could.

You would not be so damned clever then ,would you.

I agree.

I walk upstairs sometimes to do something, I get to the top of the stair, the mobile rings, I answer it, chat, then finish the call and then I wonder what I came upstair for, I hope that is normal at the age of 65?

Some of us can only hope to reach 65 years.  I am not that far off.  If I am upstairs for no apparent reason  I will likely head for the toilet and sit down and contemplate life for awhile.

So funny, except I don't use the word phark. 🤣

The good thing in Thailand though is you have the hosepipe attached to the toilet bowl, you give yourself a good squirt of water with it up the you know  what after the you know what, then you think to yourself "Well that was pleasant, I hope I am not turning gay" as you look at your wife when you go downstairs.

it is a terrible thing  to be lost in the wilderness.  Some people just give up and die. I have read a few books about this.  The experienced woodsman is no more likely to survive than a young girl,

This may be the reason it is called the land of smiles.

Good book/movie.

Do mean it's similar to The Cave  (2019)?  Except this would be role reversal, with the Brit being rescued by Thais.
I bet our illustrious leader would be keen to sponsor it.

      News Forum - Thai police arrest six Chinese nationals in call centre fraud bust

      Chinese?? Well I am astounded - it is so unlike the Chinses to be criminals. That reminds me - recently I was looking at all the uber wealthy rich families in Thailand - you know the ones that own just about everything between them - about 9 or so of them. I noticed that most of them have their 'ancestral homes' in China and their ancestors came to Thailand in early 20th century and the another wave after Mao took over. Someone once told me that the 'good' Chinese went to Taiwan, and the 'not so good' went to Thailand. Not sure if that is true at all. Asking for a friend.

      DTV & ..question..

      I wont argue at all - because mine was that way when in Chiang Mai and Rayong. However, that was not the case here in KK. In fact, because of all the additional and different rules they have here for annual renewals for Marriage, next year I am going to switch to Retirement - unless things change. Your current situation is great, but as I found out, there is no guarantee it will be that way in the future (they always change some rules here) - and it may not be that way if you ever change Provinces. Chiang Mai to Rayong was a change, but no problems - KK was insulting and difficult and unacceptable. One size does not fill all, as I found out the hard way in KK. 3 visits to Office, 2 visits to Bank, 3 Officers visited House, 2 Witnesses required in the house who both had to sign witness statements, Insufferable long 10 minute speech by General littledick (in Thai to the Wife and Witnesses), and a overwhelming desire to stand up and tell the little vagina that 'I bought this effin house and I spend over 1 million baht a year in this country - so eff off and get the eff out of my Wife's house you little ................ But because I cannot speak Thai and am older and have a lot more self control than when younger, I remained quiet and still and said nothing. And then I had to smile while they took a few photos - aarrgh!
