Nothing to do with payment, Thai people vote for their tribal leaders.
The Thaksin family is the head of the Laos speaking people in Thailand (40% of the Thai population).
FYI, I was paying between 2,000bht and 2,500bht for a direct return flight to Hanoi/Da Nang/Saigon in 2019/2020. As a Brit no VISA required, I used to go there for the weekend.
i always used to call in sick the next day when I felt bullied by my managers.
Worked like a charm every time, not that I had to do it often.
Maybe 5x in 20 years.
Before COVID my kid graduated university and found work at 18kbht.
Then COVID hit and they reduced her wage to 11kbht, so she changed jobs and earned 16kbht.
Now they've transferred her to Nakon Sawan on 20kbht + free condo.
UTI is a pain, I usually take a 1/2 dose of Cipro or NorfloxStar for 5 days. (1/2 tablet 2x a day)
Blood in urine after exercise is my symptom, recurs every 2 months or so.
No PSA test problems though.
But nearly all my BPH symptoms have gone after taking the antibiotics a few times. I no longer need to take tablets to wee.
Looks good enough to me.
If I were buying the bits myself I'd choose better quality, but there's enough there, and the pool looks nice.
Always surprised that Asians don't know how to cook toast, it ain't difficult!
