The audacity of that last sentence is quite stunning. The hypocrisy is outstanding. Being a low hooker would be obsolete if it weren’t for the low payers! Both are needed for the transaction to take place, and then for the payer to consider himself squeaky clean and the hooker a low life - speaks volumes about the mind of the author.

The more we vaccinate the more new strains will arrive. Viruses are pretty cunning! -
Tourism Tourism Shock: Thailand's Visitor Numbers See Alarming Plunge
Globalres replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I can agree with you on this, in particular about vaping. Many people have been able to quit smoking cigarettes and are now exclusively vaping instead. I know, not harmless, but according to independent scientific papers, much less harmful than smoking, IF using reputable vapes and liquids. The fact that one is penalised in Thailand for vaping but not for smoking cigarettes is quite flabbergasting. I know of several large company executives who would be happy to have a holiday in Thailand say they will not come due to being treated like a criminal for vaping. -
Tourism Tourism Shock: Thailand's Visitor Numbers See Alarming Plunge

I personally wish that visiting areas where local people live in the cities, were as attractively kept as in many other countries. Flowers or shrubs in pots, cascading down the walls, neatly swept entrance driveways etc. Instead there are piles of junk heaped outside the front door and in the yard, seemingly having been there for decades. Plastic bags being strewn about also along the highways. It looks unkempt, unhygienic and quite ugly. Is there no ingrained sense of beauty in the average Thai household member? in Europe eg, even in areas where the not so affluent people live, there is a sense of pride in maintaining beauty and cleanliness surrounding their humble abodes. Why is this lacking here? is the infrastructure re removal of rubbish so poorly promoted here that nobody cares? Pity! -
Economy Thailand Plots Economic Talks with US for Prosperous Future

I would love to eat the CAFO, GMO grain eating, hormone-, antibiotic injected beef. Good idea! -
Since we are classified in religious beliefs depending on where we were born, it’s quite arbitrary really. Most of us have not chosen the designated religion per se. Very few of us, these days have actually chosen our labeled religion. This name calling depending upon where in the world you were born is actually quite misleading. Very few, generally speaking, are active believers in their country’s designated religion. They follow the rules of society so as not to risk detention or worse. Theoretically, the Pope should be a leader for kindness, love, and wellness for all. Introspective thoughts and generally a seeking of pure joy. Revelling in nature’s bounties and the animal/human kingdom should perhaps be more thought about, that is if one is a bit more spiritually advanced and not only seeking the pursuit of more and bigger gadgets in the belief that it will give happiness and joy. Unfortunately, as someone above said, our leaders of the world in general can’t seem to get enough power, not caring about the detrimental effect it may have on others.

The Art of Winning too Much to Be Doing Any Deals

I agree, very well written indeed. No matter whether or not you’re a MAGA fan or not, the observations are astute. -
I actually find it quite refreshing that she stands her own ground. Whether she likes/loves her husband is irrelevant, the fact is that she’s running her life as much as she can in the way she likes. She is proof that a wife does not have to be a supplicant, neither “the other (normally inferior) half. It seems as if her husband accepts this, so both parties are free to pursue their own ambitions, yet remain together. Quite refreshing indeed!

I guess a lot depends on the “how”. For example, some who vape are “chasing clouds”, I think it’s called. They have to really blow out tons of steam (it’s not smoke) which obviously people think of as harmful smoke. I guess with smoking of any kind as well as vaping, if you’re out in public why not be discreet about it? OK I know vaping is not allowed, which IMHO is ridiculous, it has helped many a cigarette smoker quit cigarettes. yes, cannabis does have a rather distinct smell about it, so there again, some polite and thoughtful smokers of weed could perhaps sit on one side at an open bar. I really have no issue with the smell, if the guy/woman smoking it was there first, I can sit farther away. Why are we so offended by everything these days? What kind of society have we become? We tend to police everyone, but when it turns on us, we are offended. Ease up!

The actual device is an oscillating positive expiratory pressure device. It was a long time since I ordered. Try exhale devices, lung health devices. I am quite sure they must make them here in Thailand too? Below is from Google: more An Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP) device is a handheld, drug-free device used to help clear mucus from the airways. It works by providing resistance during exhalation, which creates vibrations that help loosen and mobilize mucus, making it easier to cough up. Here's a more detailed explanation: How it works: OPEP devices create a slight resistance when you breathe out, which increases pressure in your airways and creates gentle vibrations. These vibrations help loosen mucus stuck to the airway walls, making it easier to clear. Purpose: OPEP devices are commonly used for individuals with conditions that cause excessive mucus production, such as cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, and COPD. They can also be helpful for individuals with recurring lung infections. Benefits: OPEP therapy can help reduce the risk of respiratory infections by clearing excess mucus, which can act as a breeding ground for bacteria. It can also improve breathing by making it easier to clear mucus. Types: OPEP devices come in various forms, but a common example is the Aerobika, which is a hand-held, drug-free device.

BTW, before anyone laughs at “holistic” doc, let me state that this dock is an MD and has a PhD in neuroscience, is well versed and educated in Chinese Traditional Medicine as well as Ayurdevic medicine. This doc used to work in hospitals/clinics but realised that the protocols that were expected to be adhered to - did nothing at all to cure the patients. It only kept the patients coming back for more. Guess from a business point of view, it was good practice.
