  1. I think it belongs to the big hospital but it is a separate building. Just go to the 14th floor and tell them what you want.
  2. I go to Chulalongkorn, it is in the MBK area. 14th floor. Walk-in, prompt service, 700 baht if I remember well and result in 1-2 days through email.
  3. If medical industry includes hospitals, then yes. For the dying there is not much money to be made out of pharmaceuticals. There is in all sorts of testing etc.
  4. Actually I was talking about Thailand. Don't know how it is in USA.
  5. I have seen it many times with my own eyes: they won't let you die and won't give too many painkillers. You might get addicted.
  6. Eludes me why you would not wear them in town. No trouble there? Are seat belts such a nuisance?
  7. Quack medicine in this case. The real indications for this kind of treatment are very limited but unfortunately quackers can easily misuse it.
  8. For sports and muscles there is an effect, but there is no proven effect on brain function in spite of a lot of research that you can find on serious websites. Any personal reports are to be seen as N=1, meaning you don't know what would have happened without the product.
  9. Because I think he is talking about expats who come here to live off a pension. For them indeed you get better value for money than in many western countries.
  10. Laughing gas is not listed as a drug as such although it has psychotropic properties. It is used by restaurants as a pressure gas for applying cream, as in bakery. So it is commercially available. In the Netherlands this was the reason to ban the large containers. As a result the streets there are littered with the small metal capsules which you can also buy here on Lazada (219 baht for 10). Khaosan road appears to be a major hub for this gas.
  11. I am involved with a 25 year old young man who had been inhaling laughing gas in a bar on Khaosan road. He has now been in coma on ICU for almost a week. Unclear if there will be residual brain damage after he wakes up. Nothing to laugh about.
  12. The economic and military genius Donald Trumpski is siding with long-lasting shrewd ruthless cunning autocrats with a clear strategy. They will have him for breakfast.
  13. USA. U for Unreliable, Unpredictable, Untrustworthy, Unsympathetic, Unfriendly? Pick your choice. Or maybe all of them: UUUUUSA.
  14. I did it on the due date. On my report it said I had to report on 25th February, which I duly did - rejected. They said it had to be 15 days before.
