  1. I went to Bamrungrad with a frozen shoulder about 13 years ago for a second opinion after another hospital in Bangkok recommended 10,000 USD surgery. Bamrungrad recommended physio only and after about 6 weeks it was all cleared up. The pain came back about 2 years later in my other shoulder, and I just repeated the physio I had learned before at Bamrungrad and fixed myself. It has been 10 years free of shoulder pain ever since until now. There are YouTube videos on how to treat yourself as well.
  2. Only someone with a few screws loose would think a war criminal is offering peace talks.
  3. Yellow book alone no use for me. Must show a pink ID card also.
  4. Funny how the title of subject automatically assumes its a foreigner when the KhaoSod reports: >> #Phuket police arrested a driver who drove down to Kamala beach Mon. He's not a foreigner as many suspect but a 39-yr-old Thai who wanted his 2 kids to see the beach closely & recorded a video for him. Police charged him with careless driving, which may pose danger to others.
  5. Tom Sosnof of Tastytrade put it best: Last week, the FTX saga mercifully came to an end. Sam Bankman-Fried was finally sentenced. At last, MIT fundraisers can rejoice. Hopefully, aside from the obligatory 60 Minutes prison interview and the Michael Lewis made-for-TV movie, we never have to hear or read about SBF again. But was justice served? SBF for sure doesn’t think he’s done. Also, he probably still believes he didn’t do anything wrong. I am convinced he saw himself as a modern day Robinhood and believed his altruism would protect him from any wrongdoing. Nothing could be further from the truth. SBF’s thievery and the criminality of his organization emboldened the SEC and other regulatory bodies to essentially shut down trading in all but a few of the largest cryptocurrencies. This ultimately cost self-directed investors hundreds of billions of dollars in capital appreciation. It also set the financial industry back by killing start-up valuations, destroying the flow of new investment capital, stifling new tech innovation, and worst of all, limiting what products and strategies individual investors could use to participate in the digital asset marketplace. There is not a prison sentence long enough to compensate for all of the progress he erased.
  6. In the photo the conduit line falls to the rail platform but the conduit line on the external side simply falls into the traffic on the road below. Who in their right mind thinks this is a good design?
  7. If we put up a scoreboard of all the a/hole behavior in Thailand the past couple of weeks (a cop tasering a punchy guy in underwear, a driver taking out several power poles, kicking a pregnant shop owner, street side graffiti painters the list goes on), only one nation takes the medals like they did in their last doped up Olympics.
  8. This would even get taken down in the jokes column. Speaking from experience! It's a joke.
  9. Why? Is it because you mostly use it on your ass? That would be your own bizarre habit. For the rest of us its just tissue paper that has multiple usages.
  10. I thought it was quite clever. Caught you out along with some others.
  11. The Thais call themselves a "neutral" nation when appeasing war criminals. So how about a photo of Khun Somboon shaking hands with the head of Kyiv City to prove it?
  12. While you've likely heard it used to describe an animal infected by rabies, rabid (derived from the Latin verb rabere, "be mad, rave") can also dramatically describe a person exhibiting fanatical, extremely enthusiastic, or raging behavior. Seems very appropriate to me.
  13. KhaoSod reported: "One of the Myanmar workers disclosed that the employer had previously refused to pay compensation when one of his employees died from electrocution. Even if they said to pay this time, they no longer trust the employer’s words. He indicated that they would direct authorities to check the hillside behind the building site where workers who had died were buried."
  14. There must obviously be more to the story that the workers are concerned about that is of such unimaginable consequences to behave like this.
  15. This manager needs replacing immediately and then to be thoroughly investigated for everyone's safety at this work place.
  16. Just replacing the bit that fell off with a price reduction to entice won't fix it. How about installing safety barriers or netting along the whole length of the line so that the public won't be in direct line of fire of things that will inevitably fall off again in future?
  17. There are still some practical considerations that need to be taken into account. Not everyone has access to charging at home, which can make relying solely on home charging a challenge. While it's possible to plan long-distance trips with an electric vehicle, relying solely on public charging stations can add extra time and stress to the journey, especially if charging stations are not readily available. In countries with limited charging infrastructure, like Thailand, it can be difficult to rely solely on public charging stations.
  18. There were a lot of descriptions I could think of for Dan but love guru wasn't one of them.
  19. 3850THB is a bit more than I paid (20THB) at a government medical center. I think its about 50THB these days.
