I read the same thing. I am not a big caffeine drinker, get plenty of sleep, aren't stressed and eat well.

I do have a lot of screen time. But due to work this may not be easy to cut down soon

Try working on the PC with the night light settings, does help...

Tug - How can this be??  You just was telling us how Biden has been so much better for world peace than Trump.  You can't have it both ways.  I said Biden was like an arsonist who is the cause of so much strife in the world.  Botched up the withdrawal from Afghanistan.  No one fired or disciplined.  Gives Iran $Billions plus took of Trump's sanction after HE put them in a box and could not cause trouble.  The only had $4 Billion is reserves.   Along come Biden and they will not only get the nuclear bomb, but now the have $250 billion in reserves.  Not long ago it was only $200 Billion.  Steps on Israel, the only friend in the area.  But you like the river to the sea crowd and believed the number of deaths of the Palestinians that are provided by Hamas.   40,000 killed right?  Where did they bury the bodies.  The cemeteries do not so 40,000 new plots since 10-07-23.  Just like Biden's budget number, and the number of people that voted for him just don't add up.

How do you bury people who are buried under destroyed buildings?

No, not particulary, makes it look a bit charming in an eccentric sort of way.

I'm sure plenty of Thai "netizens" will find offence however...

You don't live in my village.

On a more serious note, have you noticed how many more funerals there seem to be now, compared to, say 5 years ago?

what a load of rubbish, the police should have attended and shot the dogs, there is no compensation for a human life, taken in a barbaric way, and the dogs live on to maybe kill again

Not just, live on, also get to pass their killer genes to the next generation...

just drop a nice tasty  treat on the road sometime ...    next day you won't see them.

 

If folks want aggressive dogs then keep them locked up at home ... not on the street. 

This is what will, undoubtedly happen in a village here...

Issue of the SS plastic card is a mess.

Yes it carries the standard Thai ID number for Thai citizens and the ID number issued to foreigners which is the number issued through the SS / yellow TB book and as issued for foreigners who hold Thai PR.

 

Issue of the SSO plastic member card has started and stopped many times.

 

Most recently my SS local office said ' 'it's no longer issued but at the same time all staff at my local hospital were issued with new plastic member cards.

 

On the main SSO website anybody can request a new or replacement member card at any time. 

 

 

Ah, I may try to get one from the website then. The last time that I looked at it, a few years ago it was a mess too...

worst case is they don't assume the foreigner has anything and go shuffled around hospitals and died en route, which did happened 

 

good thing foreigner under the social security still gets their social security card, so the emergency service going through their wallet can get some idea and take them to appropriate hospital

They stopped giving you SS cards, in Isaan anyway, years ago, they use your pink ID card for your details in the hospital

I haven't received todays (Tuesday) either...

An once of coke, he's not gonna be going anywhere for a long time...

Whats happened to the daily newsletter then? I'm sad enough to have to change my morning routine when it doesn't come...

If the Bhumjaithai party managed to get a majority in the senate as was reported they'll beable to stop this in it's tracks. Part of a plan maybe???

Just a small question, for my education purpose, as I am totally ignorant about this subject - sorry.

 

Do people in any country use the F word (other similar 'colorful' words) when communicating between immediate family members too - Parents, children, siblings etc. etc.?

Yes, lots do, in lots of countries...

I actually don´t get this. She had a ticket home to London, with multiple stops in India and Turkey. But isn´t this just stops and change of planes as usual? In that case she will not enter, nor have any need to enter the countries as she will remain at the airport. Am I missing something, or has it changed. To me the excuse that she can´t board because she will be refused entry in India is just garabge as she will never enter the country.

the last time I was in transit in Mumbai, they had 3 passport checks, paranoid or what???

I'd say pre-2019 was Ok.  2020 and beyond have seen the beginning of the end for Thailand. 
Small and medium businesses decimated by their own government.
Factories closing.
Inflation making life hard for everyone except the uber-wealthy.
Government promising to raise taxes and seek more things to tax as well.
The rich get richer and the poor (and middle-class and even the upper middle-class) get poorer.

In the meantime, in between time, Thais ain't got fun.  Not!  🙄
So gotta agree with ya on this one bob smith, yeah I've noticed as well.  Just on a slightly different timeline.

I do agree with this, but I'd say it's happened worldwide, not just in Thailand...

In my personal opinion he’s a traitor and a threat and should be delt with accordingly.i know it’s unpopular but I stand by my opinion 

How can he possibly be a traitor to the USA if he's Australian?

I doubt they are much different than Thais in that regard, ... or any girl for that matter. Also, they, if not only a lip service, are more bound to Christian values and not the Judeo-Christian none values. This includes that money is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10). But it's understandable that a rural girl who has nothing is influenced by social media that she needs to be materialistic to be something. The peer pressure might be high.

 

But thank you! I will definitely try my luck and still can go back to Thailand if I don't like the Philippines. But for me, Thailand is the path to total sin. I would go there, buy a 2nd hand AMG, rent 2x girlfriends from some Pattaya bar and just start drinking alcohol and doing drugs.

The latter, sounds good to me...

After 20 years, in other words, absolutely nothing took that would have made Afghanistan more tolerant, enlightened, or even slightly democratic. It went right back to being what it really is. Twenty years and trillions of dollars utterly wasted. And somewhere George W. Bush is painting a picture.

But it did give the CIA control of the worlds largest Opium crop for many years...
