So the writer of this story is using the name S for 1/2 the people involved? I think it must be a new way to cover up and deflect attention from the bad guys.

I'm not so sure that's strictly correct, Around 10 years ago I suffered kidney stones. the pain was intense, the first thing they did on my arrival at hospital after checking my blood pressure and taking my temperature was to give me an injection for the pain. Not sure what it was but it certainly worked and as a bonus left me feeling high as a kite,

I thought it was tight fitting trousers ,you will look good in them 😵 regards worgeordie

Dr. Oliver's nurses will use H2O2 and warm water to irrigate your ears and suck out the wax. I was there a few months ago as I was having problems with both ears. An amazing amount of cr*p came out and my hearing was restored to normal. I forget what the cost was but it wasn't at all expensive. No need for an appointment and wasn't at all busy when I was there.

You'd think such a genius idea of painting the crossing a different colour would have changed the attitude, driving skills and cultural arrogance of Thai drivers. Alas, this appears not to be the case. Back to the drawing board.

Agree with you about the animal cruelty bit.

They don't work end of/nor does olive oil. Warm water bombardment from a real doctor does

And got stuck... Because he was off road. In the sand. You'd be surprised what little infractions can void a car rental contract.

Google Pay/Wallet and Apple Pay is just a way to have your phone act as credit card, it's easier for people that has their phones about them can tap their phone to pay instead of pulling out cards from a wallet, some even leave their cards at home You'd need a passcode or biometric like fingerprint to unlock the phone in order to use, unlike physical cards where if you tap the contactless below certain value it just approves without need for PIN Google Pay/Wallet also shows the detail of what you spent and where in the app which might be easier to keep track of than going through paper statements or via the Bank's App You're correct in that there is no benefits to load money into other electronic wallet if you already has bank accounts and credit/debit cards wallets like Truemoney is more for people without access to Banking like kids, they can receive money from friends online and top up their wallet in cash at 7-11s to buy things or pay for games and stuff online service without needing bank accounts or credit cards With the advent of Promptpay you can already use Thai bank accounts to send and receive money to other people with no fee, but this wasn't always the case, TrueMoney wallet has been around for decade now and was at one time popular with certain audience.

All these past governments both military and civilian keep spouting that the Thai justice system is fair and everyone receives equal treatment, ok let the people making the complaint have free access to the prison system and compare the treatment that Thaksin received against a poor incarcerated convict…… then tell us it was fair

Wow! They went there. An "Anti-Tourism Tax". How "Thai". The excuses for this 300 baht tourist fee have been all over the map in the years since it was advanced. Unpaid medical bills Death/injury benefit Health insurance Tourism Development Fund Coral reefs And there is never any detail on how this "fund" will be administered, and if public transparency will be provided. A nine billion baht annual slush fund seems ripe for corruption.

They towed Rohingya refugees back out to sea in their boats after removing the engines, so I guess they can do as they please.

Somewhere there is an alternate reality where these cities exist as described.

There was only a police cordon because of who they were. Of course. The two are not mutually exclusive, Captain Obvious. Eveyone knows that. Nobody cares.

A personal attack misgendering another member and a reply has been removed, this is not the first time I have had to remove these posts, this is a flame and is wasting my time, make no mistake, do it again and there will be consequences

Though the crime of falsifying business records is nominally a misdemeanor, the Manhattan district attorney’s office almost always charges it as a felony. Still, the Trump case stands apart. The Times could identify only two other felony cases in Manhattan over the past decade in which defendants were indicted on charges of falsifying business records but no other crime. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/09/magazine/alvin-bragg-donald-trump-trial.html

No it wasn't ! What on earth are you talking about. Try reading the article, specifically the bit where it says...." Opium and psilocybin mushrooms, known for their hallucinogenic effects, are now classified as Category 5 narcotics, differentiating them from marijuana and hemp extracts." Cannabis was removed from the category 5 narcotics list, these two substances are now classified as such. it really isn't difficult to understand if you just read what's written and don't try to add your own personal take on things

Just avoid Somalia and the Strait of Hormuz etc.

Another vile propaganda video of one of the hostages released by the terrorists yesterday, Hersh Goldberg-Polin. He was one of the 29 people that had huddled together in one of the shelters at the Nova Music festival before Hamas began to throw grenades inside. Eight people survived by hiding under the bodies of the dead, he was one, although had his hand blown off and taken hostage. He's an Israeli-American.

Palliative care is in the stone-age here in Thailand. Thai medical "authorities" view on the subject of pain medication is that if you haven't developed Buddha-like abilities to sit in pain-free samadhi, then it's your bad karma to suffer in pain and agony. So they have to keep pain meds away for the public - you know - like people dying of stage 4 cancer or those suffering with kidney stones. Someone might "abuse" the medicines so everyone needs to be kept from using them.

I just heard on the local radio station that the vehicles travelling east/west have right of way when entering intersections on the railway road. If you have ever travelled this road it's always the vehicles travelling east/west that give way, makes sense, I'm always travelling over 80km/h, if you don't give way to me, you'll end up like Swissy. With all this talk about these white lines and right of way I reckon we'll see a lot more of these crazy, suicidal foreigners their disability scooters wanting to end their lives. Beats jumping off a balcony.

Picture courtesy of Freepik A heatwave alert has been issued by the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) as temperatures might rise up to 43 degrees Celsius. The warning covers 45 provinces and is accompanied by a risk of summer storms, strong winds, and hail in some areas. The country's upper region is experiencing a heatwave due to intense heat creating a low-pressure system. While people are advised to refrain from prolonged outdoor activities, farmers are being alerted to prepare for possible damage to their crops and livestock. The temperature rise is coupled with a chance of summer storms, characterized by lightning, thunderstorms, and potentially hail. Swirling southwestern and southeastern winds are impacting the northern and northeastern regions, carrying the risk of thunderstorms. Similarly, the coastal areas along the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand may also experience thunderstorms, with sea waves potentially rising more than a meter high. Fishermen are advised to avoid sailing during these conditions. Over the next 24 hours, hot weather is expected to persist along with a 20% chance of thunderstorms in the northern region. Temperatures may range from a minimum of 23 degrees Celsius to a blistering maximum of 43 degrees Celsius. Similarly, the northeastern, central, and eastern regions are also slated to experiences elevated temperatures with the chances of thunderstorms. The southern region, including the east coast and the west coast, will also see hot weather with a slight chance of thunderstorms. The temperatures may reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in some areas. In the capital, Bangkok, the weather conditions are being predicted as predominantly hot, with temperatures potentially reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius. -- ASEAN NOW 2024-04-25 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe

perfectly indeed. I admire (though I do not share) your confidence.

After the farcical decriminalization of weed by Mr Anutin and the ministry of health this sounds like a brilliant idea, how about getting that mess sorted first
