Best emergency pain killer
Arcoxia works great for certain types of pain. But I noticed my pulse goes way up when I take it. So I stopped using it. It was a reformulation of Vioxx which worked great too but was taken off the market because of increased risk of heart attacks.

American Arrested for Stabbing Australian to Death in Thailand
Hopefully he will spend the rest of his life in a Thai prison but I doubt it.

Chinese man robbed of 3 million baht by thieves in Chon Buri
He escaped while they were busy with his hands and legs tied up. Sounds more like an insurance scam to me. Conviently the security camera was out of commission too.

Health Insurance Refused Because I Take Statins.
They are not denying you coverage. They are putting exclusions on your coverage. The problem I have with that is they exclude all that stuff but charge you the same amount as someone with no exclusions.

Unidentified Foreigner Found Asleep on Pattaya Beach Dressed as Monk
He is definitely not dressed as a monk. Does that say KFC on the top of the hat?

Bringing dog to Thailand for 3-6 months
On booking you can filter for pet friendly hotels/resorts. IBIS takes pets but not sure if they have a size limit.

Does a foreigner get a driver's license using his work permit
I got mine in Ratchaburi the same day, maybe a 30 minute wait at the most, a couple of years ago now.

PM sets date for registration of 10,000 baht digital wallet
Isn't 50,000,000 people x 10,000 baht equal to 500 billion baht? Not the 50 billion they are claiming. Thus reducing the total budget from 500 billion baht to 0 baht. Or perhaps increasing the 500 billion baht budget to a 1 trillion baht budget.

Compressor unit inside the room, help
I believe he is saying they are in the hallway outside of their rooms instead of on the outside of the building. It must be a hot hallway.

Can a Thai citizen invest in a U.S based ETF fund?
I use it. Free money wires and they pay for ATM fees too. The biggest obstacle is needing 25,000 dollars US to open an account.

20 students injured in road accident in Loei province
Last week I was driving thru town as school was getting out and these drivers were coming out of the side soi onto the main road loaded with students without slowing down or even looking at traffic. Like they just expected everyone to stop for them. It was crazy.

Perhaps a brown log coming out?

What sort of ATM are you?
I give away around 10K a month on average. But I don't like to give to people asking for it. I like helping people I see that I think need some help. I have even had some of them refuse to take my money.

U.S. Citizen travelling to U.S. with Thai License?
It seems like they might offer a cheaper rate but seeing the Thai license jack your insurance costs up.

I once read that women associate large penises with pain.

But does it come with a beacon?

Are you spending more or less than you had planned before coming here?
Definitely spending more now than I did 10 years ago. Pretty much everything has gone up in price. Probably averaging around 100,000 - 120,000 a month. But if I wanted to live frugal and not travel much I could live on a lot less.
