Twelve Thais freed, names to be revealed soon: Srettha
Chongalulu replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I doubt the US president has any influence on getting Hamas to drop it's implacably stated aim of genocide of the entire Israeli population and the wiping out of the Israeli nation. There can only be one logical response to a foe whose stated aim is your annihilation,and that's to destroy or incapacitate that threat -
It is far more likely to occur in your later years as the immune system wanes. After 70 is when they administer it free in UK.

Eloquently put. Got my first shot free on recent UK visit . Wasn't difficult to find Shingrix in nakhon ratchasima ,St Mary's kept in stock. 6000 baht walk in 3 months after first . I researched how horrible a disease it is and would happily have paid double! It's like a good motorcycle helmetand gloves I spent big on in UK . Accident a few weeks later, head and hands unmarked. My daughter was coming out for a visit and happily got her to bring an identical helmet with her . Some things just do not have a cost element you should factor in. Buy it!!

Shingrix (shingles vaccine) available in Thailand now
Chongalulu replied to Polar Bear's topic in Health and Medicine
1. Absolutely worth it. 2. Reduces occurrence of both shingles and post-herpetic neuralgia (a complication which can be permanent) by over 90%. Almost double the effectiveness of Zostavax. Listen to this lady ,SHERYL - ALWAYS! She is absolutely right on this ,as she has been on every other medical issue I’ve raised in past decade. The ubonjoe (RIP) of the medical forum! I had my first Shingrix dose free a few months ago on NHS because I was on a uk visit . They told me cost to NHS was over £100 but deemed worth it. Second dose (because you have to wait 2 months) I got in Korat St. Mary’s (5500 for vaccination plus 600 for doctors fees etc) . Having researched it it is a miserably uncomfortable disease . I would definitely pay for both doses if I had to . No brainer ! -

Boat race tragedy: Champion drowns celebrating victory in Thailand
Chongalulu replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Not if good swimmer Statistically Most people who drown are swimmers . This is because non swimmers are far less likely to venture into the water. Stronger swimmers also tend to be more adventurous which can still get themselves into trouble. I’m a qualified BSAC dive leader and can free dive to 12 metres ,so I’m doing things even competent swimmers wouldn’t do. I’m always wearing proper diving fins (Mares avanti) and diving mask /snorkel. I’m not reckless and it’s calculated risk,but nevertheless… -

Non swimmer? How long did it take to drag him out? -
To paraphrase (even he was) - tomorrow he will be sober ,but big Nok will still not have the wherewithal nor intellect to post other than vacuous, moronic drivel in a desperate attempt to remain relevant.

Nonsensical reassurance. They are in the hands of a bloodthirsty terrorist group in a warzone where Israel is understandably hunting down Hamas. They remain in significant peril and the reassurance from an uninvolved party is just a convenient sop for Thai authorities not looking to do anything much

UK pensioners flock to luxury retirement resorts in Thailand

He's saying ” I didn't need those blue pills after all! ” -
The only counter to this is if you're not a good swimmer you are in significant danger trying to rescue a panicking drowning person. You should try to help if possible from the shore. I say this as a BSAC trained diver . I would have gone in despite advanced years as I would know what to do (grab her in something of a chokehold from behind) and I am a strong swimmer. The average Thais swimming ability - not so much...
