So you comment on many posts about people that question this situation as not being qualified to diagnose this injury , while you provide your own diagnosis.

I never diagnosed anything, just said I would question surgery so quickly as a first reaction. I believe thats a common action to take. You may not feel that way

I take the same position. I dont like family to wai me for any reason other than just a greeting. Never in a situation of disagreement or error.

So much for the OP thread about Face in Thailand. Some confuse the issue of needing to separate Farang from their money to improve their lifestyle as Face, which it isnt. Face is a concept practiced in most nationalities although under different names. Its more a two sided concept of not publicly causing embarrassment or loss of respect for person for the actions by giving them a way out of a conflicting situation or on the part of the person committing the offense to provide a reason (excuse) for having caused the conflict which deflects blame and allows them to maintain dignity or respect in their social order. In a society where the majority of the populace is financially encumbered respect and social status may be the only measure for someone's worth similar to one's reputation. Really not hard to understand or grasp.

Or treated with medication. As I said I would question the need for surgery as the first line of treatment. Not saying there is no issue just the quick jump to surgery. Without more detail no one knows the true issue with your suggestion only a possibility.

Not speaking to the punishment issue but I question the need for surgery for muscle inflammation. Infection also questionable. Sure it probably is inflamed but surgery is pretty serious for inflammation. 200 timesto sit and stand is hardly severe exercise, especially for an active teen

Myanmar isn't a good option right now, if you can get in. Very dangerous even as a bystander. I would hit Japan first. Easy to get around and plenty to see. Food option can be outstanding.

Good info overall but your comment on "using entry airports that follow the law" is incorrect. The job of IO is to screen entrants. They have the authority by law to deny entrance to people they feel are inappropriate by they judgment, not yours.

This is not the place to get proper information unless you find the one random boater with experience. Otherwise your getting opinions and wild ass guesses.. If he's had boats before he should know how and where to get proper information. Try a marina and talk to a Harbor Master if you want valid info.

Bad advice to just start taking various antibiotics without knowing what the cause is. It can create other issues without helping the issue at hand

The correct question to answer is what is causing the infection so it can be treated properly. He should go to the doctor and have it checked first before taking random medicine that may not be appropriate and causing other issues.

So in other words, she was doing her job as all IO's do in all countries. Screen the entrants at arrival. Entitlement is not a free pass to enter another country

Seems like a normal conversation by most io in most countries. Thats there job to ask questions and access travelers at entry. Far fewer questions than I generally get when I return to the USA after a trip.

How did they steal your phone? Or did you lose the phone and someone found it. Its up to the bank if they want to recover your funds. Was the money transferred after you notified the bank? Its up to the police to pursue the theft of the phone and the money. Chance are slim they will chase it unless there was a significant amount lost.

If you apply correctly, provide the correct documents a very few would have any reason for rejection. Despite several post of rejection on this site, there's generally more to the story about rejected applications that isnt told, in my experience.

You pay when you submit the application at the end of the process on the site.

I believe that's actually what he means. Visa Exempt goes from 30 days to 45 days. Visa on arrival would go from 15 days to 30 days. I don't know if he said the wrong visa type or if the article writer used the wrong word or the translation was bad.

Not sure you heard that. They are readily available at almost every major pharmacy and many are free or any number of clinics close to all major airports

Here's a copy of my last one

They make rust neutralizing paint. Covers, neutralizes rust and seals the surface. You can leave that as your final surface or paint over it. Doesn't give you back any insulation value but can cover over the rust fairly effective.
