Low bile acid level is another cause.

That's exactly what I'm doing!
Directly 2l cartons in 7-11 went above 90bht, I switched to Dairy Rich powder @225bht for 9 litres.
Big savings, 50% cheaper, and much easier than having to keep going out for milk.
Also saves more, as I'm not impulse buying because I visit 7-11 less.
"Local" , as in all the way from New Zealand !!!!!

So much for "buy local" !!!
QuoteDAIRY farmers in northern Lamphun province have been forced to dump raw milk after a private company stopped buying their produce due to consumers now switching to drinking imported powdered milk and a cabinet resolution prohibiting inter-provincial sales,

So I believe it will never give a price fight between them.
And they do it the same as the Supermarket chains in EU & USA. If a holiday come the prices gone up.At last someone has spotted the real problem.

Yes, I heard about this too. But I find it a bit belittling. Not all budget travellers leave piles of garbage on the road and overcrowd infrastructure. Some of them are very respectful and learn the local language.
From what I've seen it's mostly not the budget travellers who leave the trash. In my area 10-15 years ago you never used to see trash in the streets and there were only budget type accommodations along with residential houses. Fast forward to 2025 and you have pretty much no true budget accommodation left but you have about 20 mid range to high end hotels just in my neighbourhood. The amount of rubbish is ridiculous.
I find it interesting when people say "they want big spenders here". Who exactly are they? From what I can see almost none of the hotels are run by local people. Personally I don't feel good about lining the pockets of out of town (mostly BKK) or overseas investors. I would prefer that my money benefits the local community.

They must have all known each other because otherwise he (Yutthana) would not have known he had killed the woman's husband. If you are from another area you are not aware who is husband and wife unless you have been stalking or making previous in depth enquiries.

If you want any of this to work you will probably have to stop eating any processed food and sugar, and most carbohydrates.
Bromelain is mostly found in pineapple stalks (crunchy bits) and you will probably need "industrial quantities" of turmeric.

I remember looking at one of those landing photos on "the moon" and was a bit surprised by seeing something in the distance . It definitely was the McDonads arches !
no doubt some of the gullibles here will not understand that I am being humourous . ( a lost art )
Years ago a friend of mine was helping at a party attended by Buzz Aldrin and asked him in person "Buzz, what was it like on the moon?"
His answer, "I can't believe I was there."
Make of it what you will!! She said there were rumours at the time (in the late 70's) that it was staged, so the answer wasn't exactly helpful.

If only you showed such a moral compass in respect to the appointment of Robert Kennedy Jr. to a US cabinet position. His grandfather was a nazi sympathizer, or the appointment of Elon Musk to a position of authority. His grandfather and father had some rather abhorrent views of black africans. You don't seem to concerned by that.
So in other words, prominent positions are often held by Nazi syympathisers. I think that is what I said. I am no fan of Elon Musk and for me the jury is still out when it comes to Kennedy.

My various interactions with a multitude of people has led me to conclude that perhaps my "difference" (for lack of a better word) lies in my willingness to entertain the notion that mass-scale deception is absolutely possible.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Post WW2 history seems to have been shaped more than we realise by ex-Nazis and their accomplices. Even a brief look at the history of the "Ratlines" can suggest this. WEF history shows that Klaus Schwab came from a family that seems to have collaborated with the Nazis on a large scale. On the one hand we defeated the Nazis but on the other hand we didn't, so it is hardly a "conspiracy theory" to suggest that the WEF might have nefarious motives.

As far as we know WEF is funded by large global corporations. So as it stands, this is essentially meddling by the global private sector in government affairs worldwide. Elected government officials should be accountable to their electorate and not to a number of private global enterprises. The WEF is essentially forwarding the concept of corporate communism, where business elites worldwide have power over the masses without being confined by any national borders.

You say she is underperforming. And who are you to judge the Thai PM? Seriously, have you ever held high office? Ever managed a large multi billion $$ or Euro corporation with the dual purposes of growing, investing to ensure that pensions and benefit plans can be sustained and balancing that with providing social and humanitarian services to tens of millions of people?
I didn't actually say that she was underperforming , I said "according to the criteria that had been mentioned" (not by me)....

I wonder why Ken Lin

and Amornthep Sachamuneewongse
have also been chosen by WEF alongside the PM. What have they done ?

It is for CONTINUING EDUCATION purposes. The 100+ people are nominated to attend education with international educational institutions, seminars with experts, and meetings to share ideas. It takes people who can benefit from outside guidance and skill upgrades. The fact is that the woman is PM of a large country, and rather than yell at her that concepts may be inappropriate, coaching and training will be given to offer alternative options or better ways of doing things. It is no different than a company that upgrades the skills of its workers, or my professional continuing education requirements. The great thing about this format is that she will be with her peer group, people who have similar issues and pressures.
Read the intent of the educational program.
The joke is the people who are criticizing without understanding that the program is intended to help the nominees do a better job.
According to that criteria she hasn't been "honoured" or "recognised". She has been picked out because she is underperforming and is not up to the job. Having a current Prime Minister being coached in this way, is overt foreign interference.

13 hours ago, ikke1959 said:a changemaker?? What did she do than? As far as w know she did not do anything yet nor for the country, nor for the people
Maybe Ursula and Klaus got customised elephant pants. (Even those were not her idea, they've been around since the 1990's)
Don't forget Kier Starmer adopted "change" as his slogan. Change is not always a good thing.
When the WEF is involved it is definitely not a good thing.

Why do you think they refuse the 200bath as oppose as before? The world have high prices and inflation. They should seize the cheaper prices.
Maybe they are spending their parents' money.

One of the first lessons I learned in Thailand; if there is trouble and a person returns to their vehicle (even a motorbike, especially lifting the seat), you make a run for it or get behind something. This might be the time they go and retrieve their gun.

Thailand's tourism has more or less been taken over by corporations and investors. Many of these groups bought /leased property at high prices and are determined to make a profit. Marketing strategies and media promote conspicuous wealth because it brings them returns; they want you to spend more.
In the past Thai tourism was mostly based on family/local providers and didn't need such a large return on investment , now (in the major destinations) it is driven by KPI etc.
I have been involved in Thai tourism for many years and the quality of tourists has dropped dramatically. The Thai govt. is aiming for mass tourism even if they are not outwardly admitting it. A lot of people are falling into the trap of believing just because people spend more they are of a higher quality.

Israeli Tourist Sparks Outrage Over Shoe Rule Dispute in Thailand
in Thailand News
Posted
If you look on the Pai Facebook page (Real Pai Family) you can see there is yet another issue involving the defacement of public signs with Hebrew stickers (leaving no question as to who put them there, as they are in Hebrew).
For some reason the Israelis seem to have chosen what used to be the most peaceful idyllic locations on the tourist trail! It seems somewhat ironic!
Sorry picture doesn't show but you can see on their facebook page
