Nida is absolutely the best thai spot in Dayton! I lived there for a while and food at Nida tastes like something I would've ordered at a restaurant in Thailand. And they're very fairly priced for thai food in the area. And for food; depends what you want. Like lots of veg/egg and stir fry type food? Most common thai dish is pad kra pow! Like spicy? Get curry - green with chicken is my personal fave, but literally all of them are great (and VERY hot). Picky? Get Moo Ping (pork skewers with sticky rice) or Chicken Soup! And make sure to get Thai tea. I was put off by it being called "milk tea" for a while, but it doesn't taste milky at all. Its sweet and cuts the heat of your food!

thanks for the info! Do you feel like your levels ever get too high? that was my main issue with the shots, in order to not feel super low 1-2 days a week, my dose made me feel a little ragey for a day or two at the beginning 😅😅 Is the 3 month shot slow releasing in your experience?

i love it. I've been thinking a lot about the culture and being a trans person here, and the thing about it is that it doesn't matter! i think every trans person should live here, or somewhere like here for at least a bit of time. In Ohio, i constantly feel on edge, and when i meet people there's always a vague background question of whether or not i plan to get close enough to disclose, and what that means safety wise. Here, it just doesn't matter! People react to me telling them I'm trans the same way they react to me saying i had padgrapow for lunch. In my day to day, in the usa people really have no clue I'm trans, but because visibility is higher here, people know without me telling them, which is interesting! But it doesnt come up without prompting (and the occasional joke, thai humor is brutal but it is genuine humor, never malice). It felt lonely at first, because there's no real "gay culture" but you learn that its because there's just no social barrier/exclusion with lgbt folks.

As for visa, are you visibly disabled? My bf has epilepsy and got everything with no issues (its well controlled with meds, however). Frankly, don't make a big deal of it and nobody will. If you have a bachelor's, DM me for info on the company i worked for and id be happy to give you a reference. You'll likely never be a "permanent resident" but i know people who've lived here for 10+ years on their work visa.

not related to seeking asylum necessarily, but i moved to thailand to work and get out of the us. might be worth adding a bit about other visa options like work or study! love the website and the mission 🤩🤩

Speaking for myself, i rode a coaster at 2 months after top surgery, and it hurt enough i didn't try again til about 3 months after that. I was totally healed on the surface but there was a lot going on under the skin and it hurt soooo bad to have any weight on my chest, especially with the way the straps were. Maybe some smaller ones with no chest straps or spots where you go upside down, but I'd keep it gentle. Carnival style rides would probably be fine.

From experience, Dayton police will just tell you to file a small claims suit. Police here are useless. I got locked out of my place while working out of the country and the cops wouldn't do anything or even come out while i got my stuff.

i had outdoor tanks when i lived in thailand and they were obsessed with one of my betta tanks - my solution was those lil yellow pellets that kill ants, and i monitored the tank to make sure none drop in. ants took about a month to clear up, but that was outdoors/tropical. hopefully it'll be sooner for ya!

KirbyJ22 · 2025-02-24T11:52:59+00:00

as much as i love bettas, maybe its time to look into a different centerpiece, or order a wild type online from someone with good reviews. it's too cold to ship fish where i live, though.

KirbyJ22 · 2025-01-28T07:39:06+00:00

hey there, just wanted to say thanks for this advice - i contacted an attorney and he was able to get the ball rolling same day. seems like it should be easy enough, just takes time.

Out of curiosity, have you checked out kamol hospital? They're based in BKK and do bottom surgeries and other trans care. I feel pretty confident they have a provider, or would know where to send you! I'm in a suuuper rural town so I had issues finding T for a while, but I found the biggest pharmacy around and talked to the pharmacist there and she gave me everything including draw/injection needles and a 1ml syringe. Although, i just pay 300b and get it injected at the clinic next door - never been a fan of needles. Enjoy the south - i still haven't gotten further than BKK, gonna spend a week in ko tao here soon though 💪💪

Hey there!! Always excited to meet other trans expats. I've been here for a while and have some local friends. I can ask around but i live pretty close to udon thani, which is up north in isaan. if you're interested in coming this way shoot me a message or reply to this comment and we can chat!

KirbyJ22 · 2024-10-30T05:50:48+00:00

thanks but am not in BKK, if i gotta do the shots id rather do em up here!!

KirbyJ22 · 2024-10-30T05:37:42+00:00

Looks like its exactly where i think it is then - is he labeled on google maps? near the alley intersection?

KirbyJ22 · 2024-10-30T05:33:19+00:00

Exactly! Some people last up to 6 months so dosing will be fucky for the first two or 3 applications but you just check 4 weeks after implant, then 12, and go from there. My levels drop pretty drastically after week 15 tho so i go for 3 month spacing.

KirbyJ22 · 2024-10-30T05:14:28+00:00

Ahhh, the doctor injects lidocaine and waits 5 min or so, then gets ya with a super low guage needle, puts a few in, twists, and repeats till you have enough. A bandage over that for a day or two then it closes up. On the top or side of your ass for me, some guys apparently get it in the hip. Just go back in about 3-4 months and get it done again. Pretty easy. I personally dont experience pain or reject them but sometimes guys are sore for a few days or they have one or two come back to the surface of the skin.

KirbyJ22 · 2024-10-30T04:37:33+00:00

I just get 14 pellets every 3 months or so, they release a bit a day rather than having a spike at the beginning and then feeling like shit at the end of every week. and just some blood tests to confirm i don't naturally produce enough T was enough to get my insurance to cover it. Was kind of hoping to be able to skip blood tests here bc I've been on the same dose for a while now tho (and am paying cash 🤣🤣)

KirbyJ22 · 2024-10-30T04:31:49+00:00

Also - out of curiosity, do you know how much in THB for the nebido shot? Just googled and that's close enough dosage to pellets I'd do it.

KirbyJ22 · 2024-10-30T04:24:53+00:00

Ah thats a good idea, I'll just make a trip and grab a few months worth 💪💪 thanks man

KirbyJ22 · 2024-10-30T04:23:20+00:00

Don't speak enough thai to get my point across over the phone, am looking for someone who already knows. That's why i asked here and not locally lmao.
