I have never had an issue in Cambodia, but Bangkok nearly killed me. Be careful always and make sure you're insured.
The most important part of '' insurance '' is to insure you live a healthy active lifestyle and eat healthy foods. As I always say look at the cause of your problem, not the result of your problem and you may never need to use that insurance.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

if one has a credit card and $$$, why would NOT having insurance be a factor?
Been here over 34 years, never had insurance an have been traveling since the late 60's
Yea accidents happen..... wrong place...wrong time

Re: Too many people dying young
Correct, these guys lived on the edge for a long time and it finally caught up to them, but at least one would have had a longer life if he had been insured.Duncan wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 10:56 amKOKO wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 10:34 am It is weird so many young people die in Cambodia, but it happens in Thailand on a much grander scale.

Re: Too many people dying young
HUH HUH, no clue what you are on about here Richard. One would have had insurance and he might be still alive the other killed himself with drinking. BTW, you're a lucky person. No matter how amazing your health is, accidents happen and having insurance could not only save your life but also your nest egg. BTW, I don't sell insurance, just making a factual comment. Also, that's pretty amazing you being in the Kingdom for 34 years. What brought you to the KOW if you don't mind me asking?phuketrichard wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 11:13 amHUH"KOKO wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 10:34 am It is weird so many young people die in Cambodia, but it happens in Thailand on a much grander scale.

Insurance would not have helped at all most of the guys that have kicked in the past few weeks.
Insurance is a game, they bet you wont use it, an you hope u dont, but after a few years of just paying the premiums, start wondering why ur paying for it

Alrighty.... When you purchase a ball of blow, first thing you do is checking if it's super cut or not. If you dip your finger in the little baggy and stick it in your mouth, your face will go numb if it's some good shit (you'll also get an enjoyable head change). If it's bunk, it'll just taste like shit and your mouth will only tingle a bit.Username Taken wrote: ↑Sun Dec 02, 2018 6:31 pmWhatever.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sun Dec 02, 2018 6:28 pmGums; are u serious?Username Taken wrote: ↑Sun Dec 02, 2018 6:13 pm Richard, what happens when you touch ur gums? When you say 'gums', do you mean tongu e?
And what about the first question (or are we assumed to know the answer already)?
If you really wanna know if you got some good stuff, do a key bump. If you start grinding your teeth 5min after you snorted that shit up, then you got yourself some methy blow. For all the noobs out there, never buy powder. You want your shit to be rocky. It means that it hasn't been cut that much recently. That powder shit will just give you a bad headache and you'll have a serious case of coke dick. Stay away from the blow that looks like fish scales as well (been cut with speed).
In CA, you can easily get some good stuff for $60 a G if you don't know your connect that well (befriend the connect and you're looking at $150 a ball). Cross the border to TJ, and you're looking at $30 a G of some good shit at Adelitas or Hong Kong.
Blow in KOW is horrible. Cut with hero. Do a line and you might find yourself barfing all over the place. 50% - 80% pure blow doesn't make you barf.
Now I've never experienced drugs in my life. I got all that info from Google.
