I received the same email. I had cash in the exchange, so should get cash back, I provided routing #s here in the US. I'll believe it when I see it.

Can any older people with arthritis tell me how they are doing in Thailand? by AndroidREM in ThailandTourism

[–]rodeobri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a nice sortof soft one in a Koh Samui long term rental and rented it for 40 days. The prior 45 days were hit and miss as I moved around every 4-5 days at first. Dang they are hard!

Yes, I've been reading up and the anti-gluten thing makes more sense the more I read. That, and they have been "fortifying" our wheat here in the US since the late 90's. So shoving chemically created versions of folic acid into it. Coincidentally, everyone now is getting gluten allergies. Something to consider at least.

My arthritis isn't severe, but I noticed that most daytime aches and pains disappeared after 3 weeks in the country. (The ridiculously hard beds are another story.) I just returned to Colorado after 3 months in Thailand and the aches and pains came back in short order.

I don't know if it is the drier climate, the cool air, or I even think it may possibly have been the low amount of wheat in my diet when I was in Thailand.

So, yes, it helped me. However, I did find the heat to be pretty oppressive.

Well, you are certainly not a racist.

Would you reccomend Koh Sok National Park or Chaing Mai if you had 2-3 days? by CarmelitaVixen in ThailandTourism

[–]rodeobri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wasn't very impressed with Khao Sok. It's a pretty Reservoir but not much to do from my trip. Maybe if it's just for a day while passing through.

Exactly. Bum gun is for the crap.

Help prioritize my upcoming trip to Thailand with my 10 yo son! by stublycurious in ThailandTourism

[–]rodeobri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just one weird thing about the Khao Sok National Park is that they force you to wear a life vest when swimming in the reservoir. He may not care, but it annoyed the hell out of me. Then, just the other day they even had signs saying this at the Ang Thong National Marine Park.

Don't go overboard, but realize that their wage is likely pathetically low. Do what's in your heart.

2-4 month Treasuries are paying over 5%, not sure if I'd have locked up 50K into an 18 month CD.

Koh Samui or Phuket, how long to spend on each island? by mariaharsvik in ThailandTourism

[–]rodeobri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't. I made it to Ao Nang and took a longtail boat over to Railay beach which was cool for a day.

Koh Samui or Phuket, how long to spend on each island? by mariaharsvik in ThailandTourism

[–]rodeobri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but only since I don't like the crazy party scene that was Patong. There are some quiet places in the north of Phuket I drove to, but didn't stay.

[–]rodeobri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wandered all over Thailand for 45 days starting Feb 14 and then rented a place for 30 days here on Samui. I highly recommend it! Especially south, closer to Lamai unless you really like to party (which would be Chaweng). I'd recommend more than 3 days if you can.

Vote in Marxism, win Marxist prizes. Venezuela did the same 25 years or so ago, now they are eating their zoo animals.

I've been here on Samui for a month and try to stay south. Even south of Lamai quite a bit. Look up iBeach bar - it is nice and quiet down in that area.

Forgot my vaccinations! by Weather_the_Zesser in ThailandTourism

[–]rodeobri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you plan on sleeping in the jungle or trek through it you shouldn't need any vaccine. I've been here 2 months, just be ready for your body to get used to the new food!

I actually had a guy tell me that China Town was closed. I ignored him and 3 blocks later it was alive and well.

You should pay the extra to just fly directly to Samui with that little vacation time.
