You obviously did not live through the sixties....

Heart and lung are connected by major vessels and a nervous system. Cardiologists and pulmonoligists have a lot of overlap in their field of expertise, so this cardiologist is perfectly competent to give the opinion he gave.

With a normal balanced diet and an active life style, not having underlying disease, taking vitamins and all sorts of elements and additives is totally unnecessary and possibly harmful. Except for above around 70 years of age maybe the vitamin D, although in Thailand with a daily walk you probably won't even need that (as in my own situation). All these products have benefit only to their manufacturers. In the OP the improvement is clear to most aside from the poster: less drinking and more action. (I am an MD and do know what I am talking about).

Let's not be naive about this whole circus not being minutely planned up to the last detail. It cannot be assumed that Thaksin would come back to spend the rest of his life in a prison. So everything has been cooked and prepared to a deal that is acceptable for both parties. We now see the playing out of the scenario.

Better follow your brain.

To avoid problems I always have photos made without glasses.

I was recently involved after the death of a country man friend with a partner he had been with for 20 years but no marriage and assets both in Thailand and abroad. With another friend we went through the whole process.

You need a death certificate, a translation, legalization by Ministry of Foreign Affairs and legalization by your embassy. This goes to the country in question where there should be a will. This will needs to be translated, legalized and sent to Thailand. Then with the help of a local attorney you need to get a court order for the appointment of an heir. The whole process can taker up to 8 months.

Especially if you consider he just turned 74.

The first seizure can be the last or the beginning of a life long condition. There are different kinds of epilepsy each requiring a tailored approach for diagnosis and treatment. There are certainly neurologists in Thailand competent enough to take care of this problem, they have been listed, so in my opinion there is no need to seek help in the US. But in spite of all good intentions a forum like this is certainly not the place. Take this from this MD.

Hip hop, Uptown funk, 24K Magic, Taki taki, and any song that has the words Christmas, Santa, Jingle Bells or similar in it.

The official death certificate comes from the district office. This is after the police, in case of a foreigner, release the body, with our without autopsy. For inheritance issues a will is required and translations need to be provided. These need to be legalized and certified by Ministry of foreign affairs and the relevant embassy.

In BKK you can walk in for a fee. I don't remember hoe much, but acceptable.

Could not agree more. Please let this not be a market place of medical opinions and experiences. They belong in a doctor's office (says this MD).

Check-ups in persons without complaints (other than compatible with age) are grossly overrated and an easy way to make money. The chance that something will be found that saves your life is very small (albeit, I admit, not zero). But the chance that something irrelevant will be found leading to further tests, to even tests that involve risky procedures, is a lot higher. In large surveys the disadvantages seem to outweigh the benefits.

Why would anyone worry about protests when we can all see the wisdom and deep concern with the country's well-being as well as respect for the voters (who can be hardly respected because of their ignorant choices) that comes with this decision to suspend?

Elections are a total farce if ignored or overruled. This is an embarrassment for the country. As for article 112: a robust, respected and maybe even beloved monarchy does not need a special law. Defamation law as for everyone else suffices for all the other monarchies.

Many places are very noisy so not really a place to talk. Background music is a thing of the past with a young generation being half deaf.

The brother of a good friend destroyed his kidneys with kratom and is now on dialysis. Enjoy!

I walked by just after it happened. Lots of medics.

This concerns around 10 patients per year and the procedure is extremely meticulous involving all concerned.

A dirty mind is a joy forever....

For the partner of a deceased friend we were in touch with two legal firms. This is about inheritance, but they do other topics as well. Both firms made a good impression, the widow chose the second.

I already have two accounts in my name, but that is not the solution I am looking for. I am also looking far ahead when he may need to deal with inheritance.

Thank you for this very helpful and carefully considered comment. It clarifies something I had not realized and I am very grateful that with this new insight I can abandon my quest.
