I started getting in fast track at 70

This may not work for you or be off topic, but what worked for me was diving into fun and challenging hobbies. For me it was bridge, which I’m good at; and lawn bowling, which I’m not. I also got a digital piano to mess around with.

What does “soft only” mean?

Hello everyone, Can anyone recommend medical insurance for longer term (more than a month) travelers to Thailand? I go every year for 3-4 months and have the first thirty days covered. In the past I haven’t covered the rest of my time but as I age I’m thinking I should stop taking chances. Any recommendations gratefully appreciated, faranglaw

Thanks Vinapu!

And mature people filter their thoughts. If I expressed every thought that comes into my head you would think I’m a psychopath. So…filter.

Maybe I’m the only contrarian grump here, but I find the whole bar scene tiresome with the noise, the fake smiles, the crowd. It’s a huge time suck to me. So I go onto Hornet and find perfectly decent fun for about 1,000 baht. 1200-1500 in Bangkok. In November I will return with DH (Dear Husband) for the winter and now have four guys in Bangkok to meet. One a massage guy, and the other three met through Hornet. All delicious and reliable.

Then the sons took their turns.

“Male stuffed places?” What do they stuff them with? 🤣

Oh don’t be ridiculous. The Democrats would be considered centre right in Australia They can’t even agree on voting rights, minimum wage, or universal healthcare. The socialist tag is absurd.

I am flying from Vancouver to bkk next week, too early for the new non-stop. But in February Dear Husband and I will return on the non-stop with some friends who live in Vancouver, a little gay party in Premium Economy. 🥳

These days hotel prices are so low that there seems little point in a short time hotel, as I discovered last night. I stayed at the Quarter on z909’s recommendation and thank you! It was perfect. Nice breakfast, no hassle bringing boys in (ahem, twice!—Hornet sure is busy around there!). $21 Cdn (about 500 baht) for the whole night. I’ll be back.

Thanks everyone! Great blog and helpful guys. I appreciate it. z909 you are right. Quarter is almost as cheap as a love hotel. About $20 Canadian. So I’ve booked there. I will let you know how it went.
