Why is this writer tying fluctuations in the exchange rate to the political squabbling? Nonsense. Rates rise and fall for many reasons, but petty local politics is not one of them. Not unless an all out revolution occurs. Does Joseph O'connor fancy himself an economist? What's his agenda?

Student Killed in Gas Explosion During Fire Drill
Jonathan Swift replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Ordinarily sunlight would pose no risk whatsoever, this tank must have been grossly over pressurized, and whether the sun triggered it or simply someone handling it, it was a bomb waiting to go off. Whoever said that about it being out in the sun was speculating and didn't know the facts, nor do we. -

You're right. I never heard of it either, probably because 99.999% of them ARE tested and certified regularly. I remember seeing the inspection tags on them at school when I was a kid. I think rules were probably broken in this case, it would take a lot of pressure to split one of these open like a can of sardines. What a sad thing. A lot of people must be distraught over this. -

Absolutely not. I've never even heard of an actual case of this happening and I'm 66 years old. These are supposed to be inspected on a regular basis, at least in civilized countries, and changed out when necessary. Very likely it was long out of date and had corroded at the seams or at the valve. Just buy from a reputable supplier and check the brand name. Personally I would trust Homepro. -

Prayut Starts Packing To Leave Govt House

Also, listen to your lawyers and pay them. -
The head is a vulnerable place, as you know, all it takes is a hit on a hard surface or even a punch. Glad you were fortunate in your accident. When walking in Thailand I constantly remind myself to be aware of my surroundings, especially those tiled sidewalks when they are wet with unexpected puddles.

Note that this statement came from China's Li and not from any Thai official. They could be spinning this to their benefit. Meanwhile you can expect Western countries to have a very terse and firm response should this take place. Obviously what we have here is Thai government cozying up to China because of tourism.

Rhabdomyolysis (also called rhabdo) is a condition in which damaged skeletal muscle breaks down rapidly. Symptoms may include muscle pains, weakness, vomiting, and confusion.There may be tea-colored urine or an irregular heartbeat. Some of the muscle breakdown products, such as the protein myoglobin, are harmful to the kidneys and can cause acute kidney injury. The muscle damage is mostly caused by a crush injury, strenuous exercise, medications, or a substance use disorder.

In the end she'll be able to use this to enhance her tiktok stardom. Maybe at some point someone will explain how to use Grab taxi or Bolt.
