Healthcare costs Australia Vs Thailand
Let me tell you there are specialists in their field & there are specialists, (anywhere in the world). Thailand for example: a hip replacement, cannot beat Bangkok Hospital but would never go there for dentistry. Kidney & liver problems go straight to BNH. If possible for any brain surgery try & get a consult with Ramathidobi (public). Their knowledge & expertise as a teaching hospital is immense Horses for courses, as we say.

Has Thailand found legal recipe to beat soaring child obesity?
I still think Thai children would still be lower weight/age ratio than than the US or UK. I am amazed how much fatty pork Thais in general eat though & the "easy" snack opportunities are now provided just about nation wide by 7/11.

Bee collection
The world needs every bee it can get, wild or otherwise. An apiarist would puff a bit of smoke, find the Queen, put her in a hive & all will follow. Amazingly regimented, bees

Looks like the police have really cleaned up soi 11 now. No more medical pot caravan sellers.
Good. I hope the bar caravans are next. No licences to sell booze, no business licence, no adherance to trading times, no toilets, & no taxes being paid (I bet). But I suppose the BIB get their commission & "protection" monies so they all look the other way.

Best way to ventilate a hot room?
I would build an attractive covered balcony over the entrance for a start, so can keep flyscreened doors open. Leave the extract fan on in the bathroom which will pull air in from this area. Still need a small aircon.

Foodbanks UK Versus Thailand
In my 34 years in Thailand I have never seen a "starving" person. In many villages I have visited & lived it would never be allowed & food would be shared/given to them. Even a gang of homeless drugged Thais around Suk Soi 4 always seem to be given food. Seen a few down & out farangs on the street who looked hungry, 3 of which I have offered to buy food but they declined, just wanted money for booze. Last time I was in Wellington I was shocked at the street dwellers, cities seem make it worse

Any insect bites that cause bruising
Go get it checked, pronto just in case you have knocked it against a table or furniture. My friend had slight bruising after brushing a coffee table & obviously just breaking the surface. 3 weeks later they operated & had to take over 1kg of flesh
