  1. As I understand it, to be available through Thailand's National Healthcare system (ie., Chulabhorn Oncology Medical Centre) to Thai citizen cancer patients and foreigners through Thai marriage. According to Chulabhorn OCM, IMCRANIB 100 replaces imported Dasatinib 50mg priced by Chulabhorn OCM at about 22,000 baht per 60 tablets. As of mid-July 2025 the pricing for IMCRANIB was unknown. The problem I have with CML medications in general is comparing their efficacy, ie., ability to target CML cancer cells. It appears that efficacy is in part at least to the quality of the ingredients. Nowhere have I found disclosures of CML efficacy, albeit imports from European country manufacturers appear to be substantially higher in costs than imports from India.
  2. Don't forget clean and numerous toilets (aka restrooms)
  3. Maybe getting alleged cushy treatment? So much for neutral unbiased journalism.
  4. Obviously both nations do not have the ability to back away from military confrontations. Perhaps Thailand and Cambodia can make a joint request for a UN Peacekeeping force to occupy the alleged border areas until civilized behavior by both country's Governments can discuss resolutions. Thailand has been a significant contributor to UN peacekeeping operations, having deployed over 20,000 personnel to more than 20 missions since 1950.
  5. TACO Trump once again will show anger towards Putin in response and further delay maybe another month any retribution against the Putin regime. Meanwhile his hesitancy towards being "nasty" to Putin will allow Putin to continue to criminally target Ukraine civilian targets.
  6. Trump, Knauss, Epstein, & Maxwell At Mar-A-Lago From left, American real estate developer Donald Trump and his girlfriend (and future wife), former model Melania Knauss, financier (and future convicted sex offender) Jeffrey Epstein, and British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell pose together at the Mar-a-Lago club, Palm Beach, Florida, February 12, 2000.

  7. Let's be clear: Criticism of the Fed chair’s performance by POTUS Trump added to the current volatility as Trump continues a vague and faulty economic tariff policy.
  8. Russia’s Aeroflot crippled after mass attack by Ukraine, Belarus groups: Dozens of flights cancelled:
  9. Trump already has a gold adorned 757. “Anything metal on that plane’s interior – lights, seat buckles, handles, latches, knobs – we did in 24-karat gold plating,” https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/19/politics/trump-757-repairs-gold-plated-glory-days
  10. No less than a nuclear war between Pakistan and India, India and China, China and the USA, Iran and Israel, North Korea and Whomever, Russia and Everyone. Sometimes I think worldwide nuclear weapons proliferation might actually be a deterrent. It would be like a chess board with pawns only.
  11. Windows 10 requires a password to reactivate the desk, open apps and web links.
  12. No. In Thailand one should assume the Rule of Law, specifically compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019) of Thailand that requires for example the owner of personal data to give specific consent to disclose personal data to any third party, whether a person or enterprise. “Personal Data” is broadly defined as any information relating to a person, which enables the identification of such person, whether directly or indirectly, but not including the information of deceased persons in particular. https://www.nortonrosefulbright.com/en/knowledge/publications/e29d223d/overview-of-thailand-personal-data-protection-act-be2562-2019
  13. ‘ASEAN was not about formal dispute settlement or conflict resolution per se, but rather about creating a regional milieu in which such problems either did not arise or could be readily managed and contained’ https://eastasiaforum.org/2024/09/29/if-asean-is-to-remain-central-to-the-region-it-must-deal-with-its-institutional-weaknesses/ ASEAN is a "Pie in the Sky" creation.
  14. When being held by the Thai military versus being held by civilian authorities for alleged espionage acts and violation of the Computer Act through Facebook postings, ie., statements harmful to Thailand's reputation. Having the choice to deny Thai military accusations can be very tenuous and harmful.
  15. It may be accurate, just in different forms. Thailand Interior Minister Phumtham Wechayachai assumed caretaker responsibilities, two days after unelected (bypassing Thai voters through their elected political parties) Paetongtarn was banned from duties. Similarly, Wechayachai was an unelected (bypassing Thai voters through their elected political parties) PM in a Parliament controlled by a pro-military coalition and military selected Senate. Looking back, wasn't there a similar unelected process that led to Paetongtarn Shinawatra becoming PM? When was the last time a Thai PM was elected through an electoral process involving registered Thai voters in a Constitutional General Election and their respective majority political party choice for House ministers to elect the PM?
  16. I can appreciate the Thai Army's dissatisfaction but shouldn't it be the THAI GOVERNMENT issuing the statement? There seems to be a tendency wherein the Thai government is "delegated to the back seat" regarding international relationships by the Military which should be in democracies a tool of the government, not visa versa. But then Thailand is a "Thai-Styled Democracy" that distinguishes it from Western Democracies. "Freedom in the World 2025" https://freedomhouse.org/country/thailand "Following five years of direct military rule, Thailand transitioned to a military-dominated, semielected government in 2019." (my italics)
  17. This needs to be addressed with regard to Trump's tariff pressure strategy:
  18. "What's in Trump's trade deal with Europe?" https://www.reuters.com/ Also part of the EU and US deal not mentioned in this article is that European companies are to invest $600 billion in the U.S. over the course of Trump's second term. Europe's $600 billion investment pledge is based on the combined investment intentions expressed by European companies. BUT the EU and its nation member governments are not part of any such investments. Investments will be open to private enterprise funding that cannot be compelled by the EU governments. That is free enterprise. Wouldn't such investment opportunities already be in place without this trade agreement? Given a potential crashing American economy, those investments might better find opportunities within the EU, Asia and Africa. So basically a "Nothing Burger."
  19. Who are the winners and losers in US-EU trade deal? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c14g8gk8vdlo "Ordinary Americans are already aggrieved at the increased cost of living and this deal could add to the burden by hiking prices on EU goods. While not as steep as it could have been, the hurdle represented by a 15% tariff rate is still significant, and it is far more pronounced than the obstacles that existed before Trump returned to office." (my italics)
  20. The LTR (Long-Term Resident) visa for Thailand allows for unlimited re-entries into the country, eliminating the need for a separate re-entry permit. This benefit is included with the 10-year visa, which is renewable. Obviously not a tax.
  21. The 2028 Summer Olympics will introduce the sport of flag football for the first time. Two events, one for men and one for women, will be held. Flag football, a non-contact variant of American football in which players remove flags attached to the ball carrier instead of tackling them, was previously contested at the 2022 World Games and will be featured at the 2025 World Games. Flag football is not a professional American Football Game!
  22. Yes - For detention, then deportation if say unkind things about Trump in social media.
