The View Talay 2B condo has a huge swimming pool.

You may find that melatonin is helpful. I buy Nature's Bounty 1mg, 180 tablets, from Lazada Thailand for 439Baht (cash on delivery). Currently, I take one tablet about 20 minutes before sleep. There is no hangover effect. You will have to experiment with what dosage is best for you.

YES!

The medical term for swallowing difficulties is dysphagia. There are many possible causes: 1. Hiatus Hernia: "...makes it difficult to swallow solid food and drier textures like rice, chicken or meat... This condition means that the diaphragm muscle keeping the stomach in the right place has been weakened." [iqoro.com] 2. GERD: stomach acid backing up into the esophagus can cause scarring and narrowing of your lower esophagus. 3. Achalasia: lower esopageal muscles don't relax enough to let food enter the stomach, causing you to bring food back into your throat. [mayoclinic.org] For a more complete list go to mayoclinic.org/diseases/dysphagia. And, finally: See a doctor for diagnosis!

I've also been watching Thailand's rapid move up the world table: now 33rd place as of August 23. Given that Thailand is the 20th largest country by population, I expect it to move up many more places yet (even with the under-reporting of cases!).

FYI: MedPark's online system is still accepting bookings. I just completed MedPark's online registration form and booked my appointment for Thursday, the 19th, at 15:00. They will send a confirmation email in 24 hours.

Agreed. A magnificent opening. My favourite film by an American director.

According to various sources on the Internet, there have been 18 coups d'etat in Thailand since 1932, 13 of them successful. 2021 minus 1932 gives 89 years. Divide by 18 gives just under 5 years. So, it seems that, historically, coups are on average 5 years apart. Hmmm.....

HILARIOUS! You can't make this stuff up ... oops, I guess you can. LMAO/
