    Happened here too with a buddhist monk. Was on AN.

     

    A lot of teachers, including female teachers, in the US are sexually abusing students. 

     

    Don't trust your kids with any adults ... 

     

    It is a world wide problem, not just amongst Catholics or any particular country.

    Whoever has the power and the money, has the say!!!

    It was crystal clear, before the private plane with Thaksin on board landed at Don Muang, that he never ever will face a single day in prison.

    Look at the US. There is a convicted criminal president.

    Look at Israel, their PM should have been arrested, when he visited FattyDonald in Washington under an international warrant.

    The list goes on.....

    Apparently Wild Bill Hickok had 3 ears. A left ear. A right ear. And a wild front ear. I dunno if that's true.  🤣

    That was Davy Crockett.

    Thailand is witnessing a worrying resurgence of Covid-19 cases, with over 8,446 hospital visits recorded between 27th April and 3rd May. This uptick in cases has been brought to attention by Assoc Prof Dr Thira Woratanarat, a respected public health expert from Chulalongkorn University. Bangkok has emerged as the epicentre of this latest wave, logging the highest number of new infections at 2,377, according to Dr Thira's recent analysis.

     

    Following Bangkok, other areas with significant numbers include Chonburi with 680 cases, Nonthaburi reporting 490, Rayong with 380, and Samut Prakan recording 327 cases. This resurgence underscores a pivotal challenge as the country hoped to maintain control over the Covid-19 situation.

     

    One of the notable trends in this recent surge is the age distribution of those affected. The highest infection rates are among individuals aged 30 to 39 years, accounting for 1,794 cases. Close behind are those aged 20 to 29, with 1,540 cases. Crucially, older adults over 60 also figure prominently, recording 1,536 infections. However, it is the spike in cases among very young children, aged 0 to 4, that is raising special concern, with 682 cases identified.

     

    Dr Thira has highlighted these dynamics to alert public health officials and the general public about the broader implications of this trend. He pointed out that between 4th and 7th May, Covid-19 cases were roughly double the number of influenza cases, spotlighting the severity of the current outbreak. In this period, there were 2,593 Covid-19 cases compared to 1,321 influenza cases.

     

    Worryingly, there has also been one recorded Covid-19-related death during this timeframe. The health expert warns that individuals showing symptoms right now have a two-to-one likelihood of having Covid-19 over influenza, with an estimated 67% chance of contracting the virus if symptomatic.

     

    In response to this renewed threat, Dr Thira stressed the importance of targeted precautions for vulnerable groups such as young children, school students, the elderly, and those already hospitalised. He advises that individuals, particularly those working, should make health assessments a routine to ensure both personal safety and the safety of others. Dr Thira also recommends routine screening for inpatients and those scheduled for surgery, helping to safeguard patients and medical staff within healthcare facilities.

     

    He further called on educational institutions, childcare centres, elderly care facilities, and hospitals to adopt and enforce effective risk management strategies promptly. Quick action is necessary, he emphasised, to prevent a broader outbreak that could affect diverse age groups. The call for vigilance and proactive measures aligns with a global understanding that pandemic control requires collective effort and community-wide commitment.

    Is this the medical profession trying to get rich again? If it is not this time it soon will be.

    The only men who should have beards are Santa Claus and nautical folk. 

     

    I regard anyone else with facial hair either as too lazy to shave), and that laziness probably carries across into other aspects of their life).  Or they are trying to make up for the fact that they are bald, but said beard simply makes them look silly, as if their head is upside down!

    If a guy is bald and grows a beard, I call it the head upside down look.

    Why is that that most tourists and expats, men and women. Farangs, asians or else do have tattoos? 

    And not a small one but clearly visible and obnoxious ones.

    In the West for instance, you almost never see those. But here young and old people are full of it.

    I would say it’s almost 1 on 2 who are covered with tatts.

    Why does Thailand attracts primarly those people? Knowing that in their culture is not perceived as good. Huge paradox…

    Also tattoos people have a high tendency to be degenerate. And most are sadly. Not the cream of the crop…

    So why is like this? Any theory or explanation? On why they’re attracts here. 

     

     

    I am almost certain these tattooed people will have a very low IQ, they are nothing more than sheep who follow the flock and with very little brains. Will you see well educated people in good jobs following the flock? I very much doubt it.

    Same applies to the shirtless, big bellied, big titted brigade.

    I've taken Alprazolam (aka Xanax) in past. It gave me some weird dreams 75% of the times that I used it. That stopped me off from asking for more.

     

    10 baht per pill? I'd be extremely suspicious even though it came from the Doctor.  (But who's your Doc? I'd like to get some Lorazepam (aka: Travan, Antivan) that cheap). 😂👍

    I checked again, it was actually 50 Bt for the packet of eight, not eighty Bt.

    For most people, 10mg of melatonin is considered too much, especially for regular use.

    Recommended Melatonin Dosage:

    • Adults: 0.5mg to 3mg is often effective for sleep onset.

    • Occasional use: Up to 5mg is sometimes used short-term.

    • 10mg: Generally only used under medical guidance; may cause grogginess, vivid dreams, or disrupt natural sleep cycles.

    Why Less Is More:

    Melatonin is a hormone, not a sedative. Taking too much can backfire, either by making it harder to sleep or causing next-day drowsiness. The body responds best to doses that mimic natural melatonin levels.

    Thanks Charlie, I have never had trouble sleeping at any time in my life and have no intention of ever using sleeping pills apart from on planes and jetlag.

    The last two times I used Melatonin, it worked 100%. I'm sure that this time the Melatonin from Lazada was counterfeit.

    Travan? Is that a brand-name?

    0.5 mg of Melatonin would do nothing.

    That sounds like heavy stuff and not for hand luggage.

    Melatonin does not throw you on the mattress.

    The 5mg is Travan. 10mg is melatonin.
