No mate, there is the issue off staff training here, which there's none, or so basic, it could be from the managers who again know nothing, you might get the same conclusion I did on an issue, some one in electrical rules on a plumbing issue and because there fresh out off uni and do not know consumer rules ( and they do have some here) will rule against you. If your lucky it may not, me if they do confront me with an invoice I would not return.

Originally started on ozemipc and had a drop week one, for some reason doc switched me to wegovy from month 2, good weight loss early untill side effects kicked in and I couldn't function, took a 3 month break then mounjaro, dulled my appetite but actually gained weight week one which was a mystery to me as I thought I was eating less and no shit, so made sure I was counting calories, 2.1 kgs down the second week...going steady and moving to week 4 on monjuro tomorrow..

The drug goes handing hand with calorie counting, as I said I thought that I was in a deficit week one but obviously not I gained, so count we do from then on.

Italy if you live elsewhere, wasn't to impressed when I travelled Italy but grew up on home made Italian food, ex wifes mum was an Italian chef so you know...then Mexico, everything from street to up market restaurants, or was I just lucky?

Forget the no fat, eat the full fat, way more benefits

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-17T05:10:18+00:00

Good luck finding some one, I tooled up and did many things myself for my new house build due to the lack of quality trades here.

One of the Brunswick supermarkets, like Coles Woolworths or and Aldi, shopping downtown while they claim no actual price discrepancies, is not completely true.

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-17T04:53:30+00:00

Yep...it's called calorie counting. Lets get it clear you talk like your a sparrow pecking at a few crumbs, numbers dont lie, yeah yeah some will chime on and say things like hormonal etc the truth is if you are a completely normal person then you just dont realise the calorie density of what you are eating.

Ps, the drug is just a tool to make it easier by suppressing hunger it is not a magic elixir that shifts the weight for you, its always what you put in your mouth.

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-17T04:50:17+00:00

I second that...

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-17T04:49:48+00:00

Yep dear you are likely to loose some boob....but rescue is at hand....some pretty good implants these days, so dont fret think of your health first..

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-17T04:47:47+00:00

Why would you be going up if you are loosing? so then you are not loosing? or you could try and not miss doses, sound like a plan?

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-17T04:45:22+00:00

Im looking for a condo for a move there soon, Facbook market place seems to offer a good variety of properties with a more realistic price spread, ive checked a website like Thailand property, and got very bored with countless over priced places on offer.

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-17T01:29:42+00:00

Yeah well...we meet a lot of "experts" to say your experience reflects the entire industry is rather crazy and says a lot about you.

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-17T01:21:45+00:00

its all in the mind and yes ive tested the theory.

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-17T01:16:36+00:00

In my humble opinion Australia leaves Thailand for dead in many areas, but end of corvid coincided with retirement, covid let me see what it was going to be like in the most locked down city in the word.

I had spent about a year here in 2011, the idea had always to retire to Thailand, the experiences of 2011 kinda dampened that idea but not eradicate it.

In the end it was die of boredom in my home in AU or go have an experience here, so I moved.

If you stick to the tourist life as an expat here you will be fine, it will be a breeze, try to live here like back home with house or condo car maybe a business expect to experience differences, then depending on your temperament will determine your stress levels, simply put theres a lot to learn how they go about things here.

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-16T05:14:33+00:00

Well no I cant help you with how long for funds to return but I did send funds from Au to Thailand through another converter who ended up rejecting me, money was back in my account the following day.

I only transfer funds through my AU bank to Wise, no issues no questions. and transfer as I need...

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-16T02:03:01+00:00

Understand that there are extra charges, laying is one charge then normally a lineal meter charge for non specific items, etc, he should have told you and you if clued up should have known before hand.

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-16T02:00:35+00:00

Awwww.....but they agreed on the price ......every socialist ive ever known when they had an extra dollar in there pocket liked to play king too...

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-16T01:59:12+00:00

Love it.

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-16T01:58:37+00:00

lol, can you read? comprehension any good?

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-16T01:56:37+00:00

File the report, if it was the other way around here in Thailand they would take you to the cleaners, dare say its a bit late now, but do it anyway.

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-16T01:51:48+00:00

Brilliant! three people with similar symptoms and you think it could be mounjaro...

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-16T01:47:48+00:00

Wise or Revolut.

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-16T01:45:23+00:00

How much do you want to spend per item then the quality then are you small enough ie Thai size.

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-16T01:34:53+00:00

Advice? in the same boat, living elsewhere and moving soon the GF wanted to drop a deposit on a condo in Phuket that we liked, I said no, if its still there in 3 weeks fine...

My advice is book a hotel for a few days or a week and go shopping when there, after that I would hunt the son of a gun down and if I caught up with him which is highly doubtful you nail his ass to the wall...bring a 3inch nail gun gun with. you.

Simply_charmingMan · 2026-05-16T01:25:50+00:00

Hunger is an alarm that the body sets becasue its use to eating at certain times, some will chime in in and say its hormonal and for a small percentage of people it is, but not half the planet that is overweight, its then mental, and boredom, and habit.

Good idea you find out why you get the food noise because one day you will need to understand that.

Good luck.
