You are speaking about English here, not Thai. "Why should I speak Thai with you?" thinks the Thai. "You want me to speak Thai to you? Are you paying me to do so? I'm not getting any money!."

Thais don't want us to speak their language, period. This is something you learn the hard way after investing years of study. However better your Thai is than their very basic Thaiglish, very basic Thaiglish is all you will get from the Thai.

You mean clean up the plastic.

Can women take finasteride? It kills men's sex-drive but it could be harmless to women's. Topical minoxidil is harmless to both sexes. I recommend buying the one for men (5%) instead of the one for women as the latter is less concentrated and only comes out more expensive all things equal.

Red yeast rice is effective. Contains a statin though.

How much for the lot?

I have asked around in several shopping malls to no avail. Online they sell the English version only. I have my own conspiracy theory as to why Thailand might have discouraged the republication. The author was a close friend of Chiang Kai-Shek's. Plus, one of the books bears the title "Tintin in Tibet".

Are pepper-and-salt dyes available for older people in TH? I haven't seen any. Whenever I went to have my hair dyed all they had was full colours, eg either full brown or full black. Elderly foreigners here might well have their hair dyed pitch black for the same reason they eat white toast bread. Nothing else available.

"Hit-and-run"??? He didn't run far apparently.

Does this mean that if the driver had been Thai, the mother wouuld not even try to demand justice?

I can't imagine any foreigner dealing in, of all things, diazepam. Random-testing is scary, even if you don't take any illegal drugs.

When women are obsessed with little boys it's called motherly love. When men are obsessed with little boys it's called pedophilia.

I looked at Colombia too. Compared to Thailand better climate, better food, better language, better ... girls. However they tax you on your world-wide capital gains AND there's a wealth tax (if you own more than 800k USD world-wide). What deterred me for good though was the banks in Colombia. No use living somewhere tax-free where I cannot come at my money without losing 15-20% of it to the banks. Of course being like I am from the euro-zone doesn't make things any easier or cheaper in that respect (conversion from Euro to USD, then from USD to Peso). Of late crime targeting foreign mongers in Medellin has been a further deterrent. There's lots of crime eg in Brazil or Peru too, but it doesn't seem to be targeted at foreigners dating local women like it seems to be in Colombia. I can live with crime within reason but not with crime disproportionately affecting my hobby.

In the EU they send you back home on the same day PROVIDED you are not home alone. In other words provided there's someone to look after you over the first night.

Chile's package for retirees much like Peru's (and if I'm not mistaken Argentina's). No taxes on the foreign pension. Uruguay is even better re taxes: no taxes on our pensions and no taxes on capital held outside the country. Quick access to citizenship in each case but beware: once you are a citizen your pension may not be considered tax-free any longer. I remember there being talk of the same issue regarding becoming a citizen of the Dominican Republic. There are other issues, like an acquired citizenship being impossible to renounce. This is the case of Argentina. You become an Argentine, then Argentina adopts a tax system like the US where you get taxed even when living abroad. What then?

They'd better hurry then because soon there will not be any Ukraine left.

Month-long Pattaya noise Festival 2024 officially begins.

There is a shortage of noise and dust in that area. Demolishing such a building (and rebuilding one like it) would alleviate said shortage in the short term.

That is the case. I didn't know such a spontaneous reversal was possible.

My cholesterol turned out sky-high over a decade ago, with the "bad" cholesterol dwarfing the "good" one. I chose to stop taking statins two weeks after initiating them. What I gathered from my research and short-lived experience: statins not only are bad for body-building and for testosterone but they increase the risk of diabetes by one third. Now unexpectedly my latest blood test showed a substantial decrease (-25%). No idea what may have caused the decrease. I haven't changed my habits. I have taken supplements but none acting on cholesterol. I keep my fingers crossed it will stay that way. Note that a sudden collapse of cholesterol is often a sign of some serious disease like cancer.

Lol, I suspect those flashbacks never really existed beyond recollections of the trip's visuals or impressions. By such a standard, everything in life is amenable to flashbacks. It's like cannabis leading to stronger drugs, crack babies, ex-cokeheads unable to ever again enjoy life ... Meanwhile finasteride and antidepressants often do make patients impotent for life but they prefer to keep relatively quiet about it.

The OP should have his visa revoked for ignorance of punctuation and capitalisation.

Thailand needs immigration badly, what with Thais increasingly considering any hard work is below them.

Scare-mongering. Has someone even ever died of LSD? Having a bad trip that lasts for days is not dying.

There's limited fully ignored data. Your "spoiler alert" shows you conflate aerial and submarine volcanisms, which are two different animals. Aerosols play no part in underwater volcanism and the heat in underwater volcanism is transferred directly to the ocean, which is what the title of the article ("ocean temperatures") is about. Beyond some minor contributions to ocean chemistry, the contribution of seafloor volcanism to the oceans is thermal. Not that climate science would be interested of course, it has better things to do, like chastising "climate deniers".
