Patong Police Crack Down on Reckless Foreign Tourist Riders
Krabi King replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I'm curious to know if there are any cases where rental shops have been sued by family members of people that had a (fatal) accident, for renting out a motorcycle without a proper driving license? Yes, I know the painstaking process of going through court here and you'd probably say Thai will protect Thai. But I'm just wondering if there are any known cases where a rental shop was held liable... -
Obviously not for some

Outdated 2-5pm Alcohol Ban Faces Renewed Criticism in Thailand
Krabi King replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Can we also get rid of the outdated syphilis and elephantitis check ups please? Thank you! -
It's a translation thing... It translates like that from languages of people who actually can speak another language (or 2) apart from English. Thought that would be interesting to know for the monolinguists here ๐

Officially they're only legal if they contain a very minimal amount of THC, 0.2%. But of course that is useless. They're sold in many shops as well as online. Very important is the dosage though, because although it's never physically dangerous, overdosing can get really uncomfortable. I'd start with 10mg and see how that works. Give it at least 2 - 3 hours to kick in. You will build up tolerance when using it more often, so you could increase dosage overtime. And make sure they know what they're selling when you buy. The effects are different than when smoking because the THC is processed by your liver which then releases a different chemical compound called 11-hydroxy-THC. I enjoy it more these days than smoking. It relaxes me. It could help cope with pain too.

Have you been scammed/overcharged at 7-11?
Krabi King replied to JoseThailand's topic in General Topics
Looking forward to your investigative journalism series ... -
Under the Royal Decree of 2018 (unfortunately we can't attach pdf anymore) there are a few things that have changed, including the points you mentioned. For many there is no fixed address of work and no exact work description anymore. I can confirm as I had an "old" work permit and a new one now.

Spanish student dies after being attacked by elephant in Thailand
Krabi King replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The only ethical way to see elephants is to watch them only and possibly walk with them at safe distance. There's a few real sanctuaries in Thailand that offer this. All the others are made "sanctuaries" that used to be riding camps. Of course these elephants need to eat as well, but the owners need to change their business and not be allowed to aquire or breed new elephants for the sole purpose of pleasing tourists. -
This is a job reserved for Thai nationals only. Weren't they informed while applying for their work permits?

Advice requested on the issue of overactive thyroid treatment.
Krabi King replied to JimHuaHin's topic in Health and Medicine
Thank you very much for replying, Sheryl. Yes, she's a Thai citizen and has social insurance at the moment. She had some additional private insurance before but then her thyroid condition was pre-existing so not covered. The idea of just a consultation first at BR is definitely an option. We also have been enquiring at Vimut Theptarin. Do you know anything about them? Thank a lot so far already! -
Advice requested on the issue of overactive thyroid treatment.
Krabi King replied to JimHuaHin's topic in Health and Medicine
Hi, Did a search for Thyroid issues on the forum and landed here. My daughter, who is only 24 (lives in Bangkok), has been on Methimazole (hyperthyroidism) for years already and although she had times with improvement, she is again swinging up to the high end of T4. Last time checked was 1.74. She still uses her doctor down South for her medicine prescription and now he has prescribed 3 tablets, 2 x per day. The most she ever had to take I think. I also think this will not be a good thing for her liver, and she already had skin issues which according to side effects can be related to her medicine. It's time she sees a specialist in Bangkok to re-evaluate her condition. It's been too long now. So I also want to ask @Sheryl if she knows any other recommended specialists other than at Bumrungrad. We are all on Thai insurance and BRR is a bit out of our budget unfortunately. Pointing us in any direction is highly appreciated. Thanks ๐๐ผ
