I just bought two 450 ml bottles of ethyl alcohol 98% and will boil down some local bud and leaves.
What I would like to know is whether or not it is better to decarb the herb before boiling or decarb the extract in the form of brownies or whatever.
Thanks to anyone who would share information on that.
Hi, I will be doing the same this week and checking if decarb or not

My mate had implants done in pattaya 10 years ago, now he is in mumbai having them re-done, I am waiting for a estimate for the procedure you mention, it can in be cheaper in india than thailand but then you got to travel more

However using government hospitals is time consuming which is a real issue for someone not now living here.. He'd need to plan on staying here a month or more at least. There are often long wait lists for surgery especially since COVID. And they won't do a procedure just based on recommendation from his home doctors. He will have to start at the very beginning with initial consultations, batteries of tests etc. I am also not sure this type of surgery is even being done for COPD in government hospital and, if it is, likely just in major university hospitals (none in Pattaya area, he'd have to try in Bsngkok). Criteria are likely to be quite specific and restrictive. (Would help to know exactly what procedure was recommended).
Frankly I think it very, very unlikely he would end up getting this specialized surgery - if at all -- any sooner than if he just waited his turn in Ireland. Probably take longer and there's a chance he wouldn,'t get at all. (This is all referring to using a government hospital).
Now at a private hospital waits would be minimal and good chance he would get the procedure but it will be costly. Likely over 500k baht (if no complications) but again, could tell more if I knew exactly what procedure has been recommended.
Other important considerations are:
1. Travel risks. Flying with COPD severe enough that he was recommended for surgery may be contraindicated, especially a long flight. In fact it is advised not to fly for 6 weeks after a COPD exacerbation. Then there is the COVID angle. I don't know the situation for airport he would use but can tell you first hand that Heathrow is a veritable petri dish for COVID transmission as I just learned the hard way. Needless to say COVID is especially dangerous for people with COPD.
2. Insurance aspect: unless he already has good insurance that will cover him in Thailand ,(including related to his COPD) or is very wealhy he is taking a big gamble as he could end up needing hospitalization for more than just the elective surgery he seeks. With COPD he is at elevated risk of heart problems, pneumonia etc etc. especially after a long flight. Every chance of ending up in an ICU with bills in the millions of baht.
Since he moved back to Ireland because of his COPD I am guessing he is neither extremely wealthy nor privately insured. In which case this seems a very bad idea indeed.
At an absolute minimum he should:
1. get the exact medical name of the recommended surgery
2. Verify its availability and cost in Thailnd and don't even consider coming unless/until he is sure he can get what he needs at a price he can afford.
3. Discuss with his doctor whether it is safe for him to fly in his present state of health.
Coming to Thailand for say a catarct removal in order to avoid delays back home is one thing. Your friend's situation is altogether different.
Thanks Sheryl, I will pass info on to him

tell him to check the governmental hospitals around Pattaya, or better choice in Bangkok (several university hospitals).
he doesn't have to go private in thailand

Friend of mine who lived in Pattaya for many years went back to Ireland a year ago as he was bad with C.O.P.D. couldn't walk far always out of breath, he said you go on a waiting list for years so he looked at going private, but it seems the costs are huge, he has been told that one of the pipes coming from his lungs needs to be widened and can be done with a operation anyone had experience with this sort of problem and recommendations for a doctor
Thanks

That was because were using the mobile app that still has a pre approval step of your application.
The new site only has one page to complete and the application is sent to your local office for approval.
ok, thanks joe

Our Vigo is serviced (and occasionally fixed ????) by the Toyota main dealership in Nang Rong. As far as I know, it has been a flawless service for many years. They have a satellite operation in Ban Kruat, which is closer but has only limited servicing capability.
Thanks mate, clears things up.

Personally, I would get it done at Toyota, if it is the same as the Vigo D4D engine, it is a half hour job, plus using genuine Toyota parts (belt/tensioner), D4D belt has to be changed at 150,000 Km, has a dash warning light at 150,000 Km on the Vigo.
Seems 2004 had a couple of different engines, look at the plate under the hood for the engine code..
Cheers mate, It's a D4D I had a look at the 2 plates under the bonnet but they are badly worn and cant see any detail, all I can make out is D4D 16V

I love the drug-warrior trigger words these reports always use. There is no logical or medical reason why any recreational drug should be in a more dangerous category than alcohol.
None.
There are a lot of fabricated fears and junk science to keep the status quo going forever.
But since a quart of Vodka would kill me just as dead as a lethal dose of heroin, and an alcoholic violent episode is no less of a risk than one on meth, it's all just non-sense.
We can all go murderously suicidal on booze, but we don't. All other drugs are the same, the fear of the sky falling is just propaganda, not common sense.
Let people enjoy their poisons from a clean legal taxed source in peace, and jail them if they commit a criminal act under the influence. Problem solved.
I hate people that take drugs, Immigration, police, these kind of people it's just not on !!
