  1. A topic which increasingly affects we males. Found that alcohol, spices, sugar ( and heavy sugar laden products ) can easily initiate a bout. There is a line of thinking that it can be a result of pudendal nerve entrapment ( think pelvic cavity ) - mostly troubles females particularly after child berth but guys can have the issue also. Endless antibiotics are not the answer unless specifically indicated.
  2. Whilst admiring and supporting the forthrightness of most contributors - i believe a great many issues in 'our' world are due to folk being led away from reality. Have been encouraged of late by the collective work of "ARC" organisation. This altruistic themed group are attempting a world reset to reality. Not sure that this will be popular with all but, a marked improvement for most. It is not nation centric.
  3. Seemingly there is another dimension to this in that the 32 year old was on medication for illness - not a excuse but part of the group reaction to the event.
  4. A sleep specialist will advise after monitoring with a electronic halter to observe sleep pattern. I found a CPAC machine only mildly beneficial and it disturbed two peoples sleep. They are expensive to buy ( in Aust. ) so advise renting one first as mine ended up in storage. Have seen various simple devices which claim success - personally I avoid sleeping on my back for optimum sleep value.
  5. If you take this route you might need a contingency plan i.e a back up rental house in case she gets annoyed.
  6. Good to see some well intentioned and balanced advice here - There used to be a French Candian lawyer ( Isaan Lawyers ? ) name like Christian who had a good reputation, not sure if he moved on. There are other foreigners practicing law in BKK but 'pot luck' there.
  7. "fine upstanding citizen" never seen that coupled in a sentence with 'Warnie's name in it. The guy was a unmitigated party man and I doubt he ever pretended other wise. Ease up on the sanctimonious comments gents and enjoy a little levity, even if only vicariously
  8. I think that you and the opposition politician have missed the class day that 'marketing tourism' was taught. If you gain a high rating in one tourism sector there will inevitably be a flow on to other areas within the industry that you hope to get/retain/recoup market share in. It is axiomatic.
  9. A thoughtful response and for the most part on target. Some previous commentators have overlooked most of the above points. One point that has seemingly been missed thus far is the Thai nationals desire to have respect as a nation. This is of course all very well, if you are not struggling to put a roof over your family or food on the table. Elitism is another giant hurdle in the way of social equality for the many. That will take a time to sort out. Moving on to the last sentence I doubt that the bars will be full of 'zimmer frames', the sub fifties will still setting the physical pace.
  10. I think the motives of TAT need to be amplified and or questioned. I would assume that if you can attract both the budget and middle income tourists, this will provide the budget for the provision and maintenance of a viable tourism investment. With repeat trade of this ' group ' the yearned for high rollers/ luxury folk will follow in due course. It is not a quick fix ( for any country ) but a ground up rebuild. Retirees will also provide a steady inflow of cash, but they need to be accorded the status of welcome guests - a streamlined processing of visa bureaucracy is a must to retain their contentment level. This contentment usually comes only with the services of a ' agent ' who are not cheap for 'reasons' quickly understood by most folk.
  11. Here is a link to a on topic article. Basically it is " Buyer Beware " regarding insurance as they contract out of any Covid related liability. Unless otherwise stated https://indaily.com.au/opinion/2021/11/11/a-quick-trip-around-the-covid-changed-world-of-travel-insurance/? Australian article but relevant.
  12. I tend to endorse your smoking solution to 60 stick a day, but like all things in life science will come to bear and it is widely acknowledged that most vape 'fuels' contain contaminants, some proven and some yet to be proven, which are harmful. Unexpectedly in a recent survey of many 'fuels' this included nicotine, six out of a hundred plus. My point here is that there is no safe way to check levels at POS.
