Well, I say "get well soon" Mr Anutin

My experience with my then English wife was fifteen years ago so what I have to say isn't so current, but for nearly three years we were in and out just about every week including time in a hospital bed. My wife's cancer entailed much radiation and chemotherapy and all staff and Doctors were first class in every way from bedside manner to quality consultations. Costs for the entire period I can't remember but everything was incredibly cheaper than the week she had in RAM, which to be fair included major surgery, but that was covered by medical Insurance. I am talking about Suan Dok right in Muang Chiang Mai. She was in a private room.

How is it a "secret?

Most of the world's wheat comes from Ukraine and Russia. Little to none has been exported for four months, resulting in a doubling of the price and a serious shortage. My local Makro store in Lampang has had no whole wheat bread for a month now.

I have a suggestion to make: On several occasions I have sought to have messages sent to my phone when changing passwords etc, including my Bank for which I have an online Account, Messages were stated by the Sender to have been received by me but I couldn't find them. I discovered sometime later, that I HAD received them but in a messaging app already installed when I bought the phone ("hidden" in a folder on the Menu screen). Even my online bank with it's own messaging system didn't receive my messages but instead went to an existing app I rarely looked at! So, try looking at another possible messaging app on your phone or tablet to check.

Apart from the interest generated by what seems to be most of the population... I have ZERO personal interest!

Was that when the bees suddenly started swarming around you?

What might a Doctor's diagnosis come up with? Food poisoning; as in, nothing to do with the leaf!

There could be a happy ending to this affair, But the beginning isn't over yet!

Given that the report states and CCTV footage shows - but wouldn't a bike or a car collide into the SIDE of a vehicle coming out from a side road? If hitting the car in the back, this would give more time for the biker to stop as the other vehicle would still be turning from side on before going forward. That the car went to the outside lane, this gave even more time for the biker to stop. I do not intend to infer that the biker is at fault, only that all things being equal these are points I just make about the scenario. Whether he was just going too fast to brake in time, lost concentration, we don't know! In any event, the report isn't clear that the CCTV footage includes a car "suddenly" coming out of a side road or how far away the biker was at that point! The "full story" doesn't clarify anything more about the accident. As I see it, therefore, I cannot judge who was really at fault. RIP to that unfortunate man!

There are no excuses! if one doesn't apply the brake or slow down until actually at the crossing there isn't time enough to avoid a collision. As many as 90% of drivers do not stop at these crossings whether people are waiting to cross or even on the crossing itself. There would be even more accidents if pedestrians weren't acutely aware of sentence two above. What I don't understand is that most pedestrians are also riders and drivers themselves! But again - no enforcement of the law or official regard for public road safety. And let's forget that it is likely to change for the better

Episode 748 - same same

I've got wifi where I live!

Was told to take Asprin after a TIA Stoke, Doc also said nothing to worry about as most people have had a Stroke that they knew nothing about and felt nothing, I went dizzy with double vision for about 15 seconds. It scared me so I went to Hospital. My comment relates to the above sentence only, not the abdominal aspect. I have learned from experience of 15 years ago and research that a TIA can be a warning of a serious Stroke to come. It should be treated as such. In my own case I was diagnosed by my local Doctor who tested me me for high blood pressure, cholesterol and sugar levels. They were not so serious but all were above normal. I decided on a course of action that I referred to with a chart I posted on this forum a few months ago in an associated thread. I managed a reduction in my measurements after only seven weeks that brought all the numbers down to normal levels. After first seeing my test results (high) I was advised to have a scan at the hospital that revealed the TIA had damaged 1% of my brain but that the neural networks, within about 2 minutes of the TIA had already taken over the duties of the damaged area and faculties temporarily endured had been restored to "normal" ( as perceived by me). 15 years later, now, my numbers as they relate to highs in sugar levels, cholesterol, etc. have remained in normal range.

That's easy, for the man who has a bit of cash, they are everywhere.

Well, I shall continue staying away and I will recommend my foreign visitors to do the same.

9 am last night!! on 56th June??

Perhaps he means the rose-tinted ones!

In the context of this article, one doesn't increase measurements, one increases measures. This should be basic stuff for professionals!

Not sure I can answer this question directly, but for me, this is just the kind of product I wouldn't buy from the internet. There are plenty of stores that do exceptional deals but important as anything, you can examine each type directly and ask various questions to help with your decision.

I asked my wife the other day her opinion about the idea of not wearing her mask, She told me she would like to continue to wear it. I explained to her that covid in Thailand right now is experiencing a dramatic fall in positive infections to the point that statistically, the chance of catching it was extremely improbable and for myself, I could accept on this basis, I could easily give up my mask. With this in mind I asked if she thought there was a hint of paranoia and she agreed. I would like to make this point though, We have been wearing masks for more than two years and while agreeing that in the early times in 2020 it took quite a while to adjust to wearing them but that after two years, it has become routine and one might also think of it as a habit. Now the "habit" is a little difficult to break and a new adjustment in reverse is the matter to ponder. It isn't entirely rational, I think, but in Lampang where I live, just about everyone still wears their mask and going anywhere without it, might elicit the death look. It isn't a big deal for me either way but I DO wonder when it will all end!

No disrespect to my Queen but I was on the throne for 15 minutes this morning! Any detail on this event remains private!

I was about to say something similar. Both the media and various YouTube videos are all saying there is no cause for alarm. It is in nobody's interest to "stir up panic" - we have all had a belly full of it from Covid!

To impress me he should have stated unequivocally and without any misunderstanding, the following: "On the 365 dangerous days, we will be vigoursly enforcing ALL the traffic laws in all parts of Thailand from today" "Secondly, we will also be vigorously enforcing the payments of fines and pursuing all unpaid fines from the last two years" "Thank you ladies and gentleman, that is all"

I am not trying to be right. Not sure if it is necessary but screening does no harm and can be considered as precautionary. I have written a valid and balanced assessment in what is a miniscule matter now. When there was only one case in Thailand of covid, at that time, not only was it miniscule in Thailand, that was the case everywhere! Hindsight - never around when you need it!
