    There's a decent Planetarium on Sukhumvit near Ekamai bus station. A bit run down but worth a visit, certainly for kids.

    Zombies were a band from St Albans, England. Still around, they played in the cathedral recently.

    Integrity? He's a politician FFS......and a diplomat. A diplomat's job is to lie for his country.

    I've found the opposite. Northerners are much more friendly....and nobody mentions the war.

    You must have met the wrong people. Most of the Vietnamese that I know are delightful, friendly and welcoming people, but it takes all sorts to make a world.

    Irony obviously lost on you.

    Thanks Dr Jack, much appreciated.

    Point taken. Good advice.

    Thanks, I wasn't aware of the option for tagging. I will ask Wise about that.

    I just got my annual statement from Bangkok Bank for renewal of my marriage visa extension. Some of my monthly transfers show the correct description "Foreign T/T" but other don't, even though I use the same method to send money from Wise each month. Wise have an option for "Funds for long term stay on Thailand" which I always use. Is there any way to get Bangkok Bank to correct this as I suspect its going to cause an issue at immigration.

    Well, you just blew your own argument out of the water. Have you even considered how many of those excess deaths are due to the response to Covid? Depression, suicide, lockdown-induced drug and alcohol abuse, missed cancer diagnoses, vaccine injuries etc. The list is endless and unquantified, because no government wants to admit it got the response to Covid totally wrong.
  12. roquefort
    But of course you have absolute confidence in western countries' Covid death numbers, despite the fact that they all had different definitions of what constituted a Covid death (from Covid, with Covid, run over by a bus within 28 days of a Covid infection) and most of the death certificates showed multiple co-morbidities, any one of which could have caused the death. I admire your faith in these governments' openness and transparency.

    As does the flu and other common respiratory infections. So your point is what exactly?
  14. roquefort
    i.e. a normal winter flu season.

    Oh yes, you're free to kill whoever you want the rest of the year. Why don't those eager reporters hanging on to the police chief's every word ask him after the event (when another 700-odd people have died) " How did that crackdown go, then?". I know, that would be losing face.

    There are also thousands of other people, mostly up here in Isaan, in the same situation as this young man. They have no alternative but to return to Israel to work and pay off the huge debts their families took on to get them there in the first place.

    You have hit the nail on the head, sir. Qui bono? The UK NHS lowered its threshold for cholesterol levels a few years ago. From being below the threshold, I was suddenly redesignated as 'at risk' and put on statins. When I found out how much of my GP's revenue comes from prescribing such drugs I took myself off them. And have stayed off them (and healthy) ever since.

    What?

    .....or doesn't work, as the US wars for the last 50 years have shown.
  20. roquefort
    Settled.....as in how the issue with the Taliban was settled? Handing the country back to them after 20 years, trillions of $ and thousands of US lives lost. Ditto Iraq. The US cannot 'win' these regional wars, they just create another generation of terrorists that grow up hating the US.

    What a great success that turned out to be.

    Be patient. Early on recovery seems to go quickly, then slows down a bit. Took me 6 months for complete recovery.

    Good sound advice from Sheryl as always. I just had a second colonoscopy with removal of polyps (10 year interval) done by Dr Pitulak at Samitivej Sukhumvit. She is excellent.
  24. roquefort
    Just had it done at Samitivej Bangkok. 37k including biopsy for one polyp. Moderate sedation, don't feel a thing. Excellent colorectal specialist who clearly explains all the potential issues.

    The US government says? Now I know it's not true.
