From where please?

I have chosen to ignore some content, but that branded seedless watermelon never seems to be available, must be a limited seasonal crop. Happy to proven wrong!

The number of seeds in the watermelons here! I wonder why there are no seedless watermelons in Thailand. I guess you have to buy seedlings and it doesn't make economic sense for the farmers. I like watermelon juice and it is just darn annoying.....

Thanks everyone for your helpful comments and advice.

Thanks! I will check out BPC. Can either of you recommend a specific therapist by name? Or is it just one person?

An orthopedist in Chiang Mai treated my shoulder with a cortisone injection, after he suspected a rotator cuff sprain or tear, which really helped for almost a year. When the gyms opened back up I returned to fairly low level fixed weight lifting and gradually the pain returned also. Another cortisone shot did not help much. I guess it is time for an MRI as suggested by the orthopedist and I will likely do that. I am now in Bangkok and I wonder if anyone has had a good experience with a physical therapist and avoided surgery? Hoping to get a recommendation for a specific person and maybe an orthopedist also. Thanks.

I predict will be very happy to have discovered Decathlon in Thailand, as I was.

Decathlon!

The law applies to the lessor only, not the lessee. ????

The law applies to the lessor only, not the lessee.

I am not claiming the law doesn't exist. I am saying it is not enforced. In addition the lessee, the person who rents from the owner, is not breaking any law and has done absolutely nothing illegal by renting through Airbnb or another site. (My bad that it was not clear that I was referring to the lessee not the lessor.) It is not a personal bar stool opinion. I am a lawyer here (well a legal advisor technically) and I teach Thai business law. I'm not arguing that short term rentals should be allowed. I am just telling you the reality of the situation.

In May of 2018 a Hua Hin condo owner was convicted under that law. Since then??? Maybe one other conviction that I know of and that was a short term party house rental in a mooban. Everybody knows it is a law that is not enforced and that there is no legal danger, although it may be against condo regulations. And, by the way, there is no law against renting a condo for a short time. The renter of a short term condo has not broken the law no matter how long he rents for. That said, it is a no brainer. Don't stay where you are not wanted.

Can anyone recommend a specific doctor by name that they have had a good experience with for a dental implant on Bangkok? I'm also curious about people's experience with the different brands of implants. There seems to be a lot of price variation. Finally, any comments about the implant process in general. First time for me. Thanks!

They don't want the business. They could offer a sort by English menu button with virtually no programming effort but they don't. You can use their online site with Chrome and Google Translate the page, although logging in to see the prices is annoying as you must use a phone access code each time. It is the easiest way though. https://food.grab.com/th/en/?utm_source=grab.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=hero-banner-food-product&pid=Grab.com&c=hero-banner

Well, I bought them. I hope so. Lazada says double your money back if they are fake if sold in LazMall. They haven't arrived yet though.

Thanks.

Does anybody know of a gym in Pattaya that has a stairmill? I know Jetts Fitness has them. Anywhere else? Feel free to point out that there are places that have steps, if you must. ???? w_1250

The simple truth is that the Gillette Fusion is an amazing piece of technology that provides a quick smooth close shave in virtually no time at all. And the Mach 3 is also extraordinary compared to the shavers of yore. If you like to romanticize safety razors and all the processes surrounding them go ahead. I understand there is comfort in a masculine ritual. It is of course delusional but what the hell. I gave up trying to find genuine cheaper Fusion and Mach 3 blades online. It's painful but I just buy them at Boots or any supermarket. Because they are far far better than anything else.

I am a fan of Siam Pharmacy in Manhatun Plaza at the Ploenchit BTS station. Large well stocked pharmacy with helpful friendly English speaking staff and low prices.

The Blue line also has an "elder' card which makes all trips half price. It is available to foreigners 60 and over with no fuss. I just showed my Thai driver's license. BTS does not offer a discount to foreigners. I'm not sure about the Purple line or if the monthly passes are half price for "elders".

You know too much! ????

I haven't paid much attention to CBD oil recently. I know the law says it still needs to be no more than 2%. I'm not really even sure if that level is useful. However, any recommendations for a good reasonably priced source? Just looking for CBD oil with no THC. I did buy some high CBD low THC bud but I wonder if that's as effective as oil? I'm looking to use it for relaxation and for reducing anxiety. Thanks.

I just booked a 700 baht flight from Chiang Mai to BKK. Then I checked and saw that it has horrible reviews and ratings, at least in Vietnam. Just curious, has anyone used it to Bangkok? Any problems?
