Popular Post Sherlock Posted March 8 Popular Post Share Posted March 8 Thought I would visit this Little known museum celebrating the Thai Navy today. Easy to find as a BTS station is right in front of the museum. Also, museum entrance is free! Not too much info written in English here, which can be a little annoying, but still a very enjoyable place. Lots of interesting artefacts. Manned by Navy personnel who try their best to look after you inside. 3 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claiming anything doesn't really help unless the military doctors who check the recruit agree that the recruit has the condition. 1 hour ago, Nickrock said: Will have to remember to Google the location next time I'm in Bangkok and Mrs Rock is on a shopping expedition Isn't it just around the corner from Soi Cowboy?

Sure they do... 🤣 . . . Case in point... Trump's "bone spurs" to avoid Vietnam were bogus, say podiatrist's daughters It was family lore that the doc had done it as a favor to Fred Trump https://www.vice.com/en/article/mbydaa/trumps-bone-spurs-to-avoid-vietnam-were-bogus-say-podiatrists-daughters Edited May 9 by lazarus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rompho Ray Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Vice.com, podiatrist's daughters, family lore BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Priceless. Here's the record of Trump's medical evaluations: It shows that he appeared before the draft board 8 times (surely a record for a "draft dodger"), and that his final draft qualification was "4-F", or "medically unfit". Facts. Nothing but facts. I have plenty of issues with Trump, but a guy who went to military high school, and appeared before the draft board 8 times, is not who I would question about military preparedness.
