Possibly, however, of the 2 others I tried 1 kept giving false information with attitude & the other one was inept causing redo delays = sticking to the tried and true - for about a 2k฿ difference.....

recommend back surgeon / spinal orthopedic doctor in Chiang Mai ?
I'm going to refer you to this Dr....He did my hip & salvaged a friend's shoulder & arm from 0% to 80%+....Pre COVID he rotated between TH, Dubai, & Japan every month - very high world-wide standing .... My feeling is, if he does not do spinal, he can refer you to the the best in CM.... As you're not getting much response, this should be a solid lead/choice .... English speaking....His office is close to Ravajet (sp) hospital....

Sticky situation re co-dependency

Steak should be cooked with garlic melted into butter.
Nah - bacon wrapped filet mignon bbq'd in a wood smoker wet smoked Chinese style....Hickory, Mesquite, with possibly a dash of Apple.....With a brush down of your garlic over some light slices in the meat until the desired done-ness....Then serve with drawn butter on the side to dip while eating.....If lobster happens to be also on the menu they share the same preparing nicely...... Baked potato settles onto the grill nicely too ..... Side salad during the process.... This was a highly successful go to weekly bbq/wet smoker meal after concluding the work week at my townhouse in San Jose.....Pleasant memories shared with some lady visitors - some schedule & some not..... Thinking about it now, that was a good era in my life....It was a good area then - no idea how it is now.... All that for a steak recipe.... Thanks for the memories....

Now that we are older: Does Eric Burdon resonate with us even more forcefully?
- Now that we are older: Does Eric Burdon resonate with us even more forcefully?
The last I heard, Eric lives someplace around the town of Ojai, CA with his (much younger) wife.....He dabbles about, occasionally singing publicly..... He seems comfortable & happy in his semi active twilight years..... Many of us fall into the same mold, just a few continents apart..... In the interview, he seems to be happy, enjoying his life while savoring a nice vintage wine.... Kudos..... Note: I'm not sure how the accompanying pic got separated.....- Public transportation in Phisanulok
It's been a while since I've been there.....I used a tuktuk there..... It's really spread out so there has to be some songthaews running routes.... There's a train station, which should offer some options....- Trump on Fox News Stands by Claims About Missing Geese in Springfield
