På tal om polisbesök för kontroll, ja hemma hos mig. Vi var tvungna sätta upp en tillfällig skylt med huset på.

Ja den är det ofta. Väldigt ofta i början men mindre numera när jag anpassat mig. Jag har också minskat vikten nästan 20kg och är på väg nedåt mer. Behöver både viktminskningen och motion för att få igång kroppen normalt. Kroppen har bråkat med mig länge just nu. Fem minuter så var jag genomblöt.

Ja jag känner det också. Det är redan mycket bättre. Men tyvärr för mig hade jag börjat storsvettats redan i det kyliga Sverige. Sängen sjöblöt på natten av svett etc. Jag hade grava problem.
Jag sätter det i samband med en viktökning från 90kg upp till 120kg, i kombination med att också då kondisen bröt samman och jag åkte på diabetes typ 2, d.v.s. insulinresistens.
Förra sommaren fick jag insulin i Sverige, 50 enheter långtidsinsulin varje kväll. 20-40 enheter snabbverkande insulin vid måltiderna och ibland påfyllning mellan. Det är extremt mycket.
Här i Thailand har jag varit upptagen med huset hela tiden.Minskat vikten 20kg, svetten minskar och nu ligger insulinbehovet på kanske 20-25 enheter långtidsverkande och bara ibland vid större måltider toppa med snabbverkande insulin.
Svetten minskar och jag sover bättre. Troligen bättre syresättning.
Så ja, jag har haft mycket stora problem. Just nu med den tendens insulinåtgången minskar hoppas jag bli fri från den helt om jag minskar vikten ytterligare 20kg och börjar motionera regelbundet.
Så aklimatiseringen i kombination med viktnedgången tror jag på.
Det sagt så lider jag inte direkt just nu. Bara jag håller mig ifrån allt vad AC heter.
Gå in i en butik med AC är jobbigt. Först frysa för att sedan känna värmen när jag kommer ut igen, en värme jag inte kände före jag gick in.
Nej, jag har ingen AC hemma heller.

Bra du sa det behövde jag inte tänka åå vad jag skulle äta till frukost.
Fast jag har inga problem med svettningar och värme, sällan du kan se minsta fuktfläck på mina kläder.

Stillasittande på grund av hård belastning på jobbet, massor av mat och sötsaker till det som mellanmål. Rena döden med andra ord.
Efter jag slutade i försvaret tappade jag fysen och fick problem hålla vikten på ett bra sätt. Mycket muskler ombildades till fett och jag blev tvungen att hela tiden hålla koll på vågen.
Under en period på jobbet var det så hektiskt att jag tappade bort den kollen och det skenade. Först omärkligt då det byggs på i långsam takt.

haha, nej havregrynsgröt gillar jag inte. Värre, mannagrynsgröt är riktigt gott. Sött och kolhydratfyllt. Lägg till kanel, extra socker och gammaldags mjölk. Finns inte gammaldags mjölk på hyllan i affären, fyll på med lite grädde istället.Havregrynsgröt tror jag
Fruktvarianten. Jordgubbar, hallon eller blåbär i en djup tallrik. Strö över socker och fyll på med en skvätt grädde. Toppa med tillräcklig mängd mjölk. Mumsa på.
Gott men....

FÖR MYCKET SOCKER I TEXTEN.
Kanel gött iaf kanelbulle
Men får erkänna att jag har "Sweet Tooth"
Gillar förmycket kondissaker med varm choklat, det är mitt största last i livet.
Men promenerar mycket efter jobbet, åker alltid till Lumpini Park i BKK och går minst 1 timme och simmar i poolen på hotellet.

Så fyll på med bakverk av olika former.
Till och med ogräddad sockerkakssmet kan smaskas.
Sultankaka. En typ av margarinkaka med orientaliska frukter är en favorit.
Det finns många sätt att ta död på den egna kroppen, tyvärr.
Den mängd motion som behövs för att förbränna de kolhydraterna är en orimlig mängd. Räcker inte med en promenad. Lägger man till påsen med plockgodis och läsken som stod bredvid datorn på jobbet efter varje lunch, så har du självmordsreceptet färdigt.
Självklart slank det ned en eller flera chokladkakor i korgen på affären hemmavid efter jobbet också.
Här i Thailand köpte jag några snickers förra månaden, före det var det i höstas. Det är mer åt det hållet jag måste sköta mig nu.

Urklipp från ett annat fora men det var ok att dela..
Yesterday, I met officer Longtor at Korat Immigration. He was very nice, very polite and we had a conversation in Thai. I had with me a copy of the petition made by a group of expats and Thai people, a translation, some examples of problems related to TM30, statistics and an interpreter in case I could not fully understand. The interpreter is also a witness of everything that was said.
I live in Thailand since 2004. I have permanent residency and do not need to make Form TM30, form TM47 or a yearly extension. If I helped this group of expats with the petition, it is because I feel the current system needs to improve. It was recently reported that numbers of Australians and British coming to Thailand are falling, because of the high value of the baht. It was reported that there has been a 10% fall in the number of Scandinavians living in the land of smiles. The current system seems a mess, and foreigners don't know what to do. I don’t do this for exposure, and spent an incredible amount of time on this project. I manage a law firm in Thailand, and know how things work in Thailand. Often you need connections, it is important to avoid losing face, and I work on difficult cases each month. I was pretty well placed to try something new via a Facebook group. A closed group. I work with Thai lawyers every day, even if visas are not our specialty. We are more litigators, making contracts and documents in Thai and English.
Recently, I was told that foreign teachers travelling to other provinces on weekends had to report to immigration Monday morning, so even Thai students were penalised by the strict enforcements of sections 37 and 38 of the immigration act. Like the Bangkok Post mentioned this week, Thailand is shooting itself in the foot, and expats are furious about these rules that some found draconian.
It is Thai tradition to discuss, negotiate and not to confront people in Thai culture. The petition is a way to show discomfort and open a dialogue with authorities. It is not a perfect document, some complained about the English (I am a French native speaker -the first version was edited) some complained about it not going far enough (debate about health insurance, or bank deposits required, but we cannot mix everything), some complained about the SSL security of the website (added). In other words, many pissed me off all week as all I was doing was trying to help others, and I know what I am doing. I am not perfect (nobody is) but nobody else had the guts to do it, and many feared to sign the petition, thinking they might be deported. In the past, I personally helped change some laws in Canada, so I am not afraid to say what I think. Here I sued immigration twice (never for fun) in the administrative court with success. I felt that our voice needed to be heard. So with the help of hundreds of people, we made this petition. Yes, hundreds of people helped to correct texts, set up the websites, commented on the website, translated into Thai, and much more. I couldn’t see what else could be done? You want to contest articles 37 and 38 of immigration act based on clause 34 of the constitution? Well, good luck. Talking directly to Bangkok immigration is the next step.... but things in Thailand move slowly. Mediators, arbitrators, negotiations are often used in court. Starting by talking to local immigration, on the back of few thousand signatures, was the best idea we had.
It became quickly the talk of the town in English medias: Richard Barrow, the front page of Bangkok Post, cartoons by Stephff, The Thaiger, the Thai Examiner, Pattaya News, etc. I was amazed it went so quickly, but I was expecting more signatures. The website is still there, "Reform-Thai-immigration" (com) and we hope you sign and share so things go faster.
Here’s a summary of yesterday’s conversation with immigration:
We were told that tourists are not affected by these rules. They want the same as before. But AirBNB must report foreign guests just like hotels.
Immigration understand that expats brings a lot of money to Thailand. But they seem to see two problems:
i) A large proportion of foreign workers are from Cambodia, Laos and Burma. Something like 3 million in the country. Often, they do not respect rules and regulations. That is a major problem for immigration. Rules are enforced largely for them but as there is only one law, it affects foreigners from Western countries.
ii) it seems that some Indian visitors have abused rules, arriving for example in Phuket, arranging fake marriages with Thai ladies, then disappearing in other provinces. TM 30 started to be more rigorously enforced especially for them, to be able to trace criminals or people abusing the system. Of course terrorists won’t provide their addresses, and I pointed this out. Still, immigration want to be strict on TM30 and TM30, and once registered, it is the responsibility of the Thai landlord to conform.
However each immigration office can apply its own rules, which I think is a headache and doesn’t make sense. But this senior officer explained to us how he wants them to apply in Korat. If you are not a tourist and arrive from abroad, even if articles 37 and 38 mention 24 hours, they will give you 7 days to register the TM30. Foreigners have to register TM30 only ONCE (and not tourists) and afterwards, it is the responsibility of the Thai landlord. If you leave Thailand for a while and never registered TM30, you will be fined as a foreigner. I believe it is between 800 to 2,000 baht.
Once you are registered in the system, it is the Thai landlord, and NOT the foreigner - the Thai landlord (or hotel) that will pay the fines. I STRONGLY suggest that Thai landlords ask a RECEIPT for ANY FINE and it is the duty of immigration to provide these receipts. We all know about corruption, and we should all fight it, slowly, to make this place better.
Now, if you look at clause 37 (4) of the immigration act, a foreigner that goes to another province for 24 hours must report to authorities. This was never previously enforced to my knowledge and in Nakhon Ratchasima, they don’t care about it. They care about TM6, that you made on your arrival in Thailand (airport), the registration of TM30 that you make one time, the 90 days notice (TM47) that you make if you live 90 days in Kingdom, and your yearly extension
Each immigration office can have its own rules, which I think is a headache and a non sense. But this high officer explained us how he wants them apply in Korat. If you are not a tourist and arrive from abroad, even if articles 37 and 38 talk about 24 hours, they will give you 7 days to register the TM30. Foreigners have to register TM30 only ONCE (and not tourists) and after, it is the duty of the Thai landlord. If you leave in Thailand for a while and never registered TM30, you will be fine as a foreigner. I believe it is between 800 to 2,000 baht.
Two great pieces of news:
1) There is a committee set up, looking to modify the immigration law already in place. But changing laws take time. The head of immigration in Korat is part of that committee and they know some changes must be made. They want to make it easier for foreigners. I even talked about the high value of the baht, and they know it causes problems for some retirees.
2) But the best news is a document, an order signed on 5th August 2019, that I saw. They did not permit me to make a copy as it is an internal document. However summing up, it is an order from Bangkok to make an application online for all forms, to simplify things. That means TM6, TM30, TM47, will all be online, accessible on your phone, and you won’t have to go to immigration. You will only have to go once a year to immigration for your extension. The 5th of August is the same day that the Bangkok Post mentioned our petition on the front page with the title « Furore over TM30 forms ». Quite sincerely, I think the authorities did listen to us, and the petition helped. It is a coincidence?
Other comments were made but again, it can be different depending on the immigration office where you live. In Korat, they told us that if we go to Pattaya on a weekend, we don’t have to report. This is clearly against the articles 37 and 38, but I think immigration understand that they do not want to hurt tourism. But if you do go abroad, yes, your landlord must report via the TM30 on your return.
If you go and sleep at a friend’s house, outside the province, this officer told us not to bother with reporting and paperwork.... that is also against the rules, but if you think about it, who could know if you slept over at your friend’s house. This is different situation from hotels and hotels, or from landlords, who still must report your stay. Again, 37(4) is not enforced according to immigration guidelines.
Let’s hope this online application works well, and will happen quickly. On that, we have no guarantees.
The current system is confused. There are too many forms, too many rules and I clearly told them our views. Immigration could explain the rules on their websites and apply them the same way in each office nationally. That would be a great improvement.
I would like to note that in the last 10 days, some individuals have tried to block our initiative. Some foreigners make money by helping others having to obtain visas, and it is in their interest to keep rules complicated and unclear. That is a shame. If you want to develop tourism, investment and economy, the rules should be clear and uniformly enforced.
We were told also that because there is a new government, a new cabinet, things are slower.
On 15th August, the FCC (Foreign Correspondents Club) is planning a panel on TM30 and immigration rules. Foreign journalists will be invited, and the subject might hit the news again. We were told that if the FCC wants an immigration officer present, they need to write a letter to immigration. I should be there if this event takes place.
No names of anybody who helped, signed, or contributed were made public. You can share this post, copy it and provide the information to whoever you want. If you think something is wrong in the following text, let me know. Thanks.
