Thai health officials worried about growing number of fat kids
Dart12 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
sugar would definitely be the number one cause. The vehicle for the delivery of that is the ease of consumption of it in all the processed foods and drinks thru convenience stores now. Of course, lethargy or lack of exercise is number two. You can fight thru bad diet if you are a physical labor machine (see Michael Phelps diet when he was competing). 12,000 calories and a huge amount of carbs while at it. For breakfast, this is what he ate: 3 fried egg sandwiches with tomatoes, fried onions, mayo, lettuce, and cheese One five egg omelet One bowl of grits 3 slices of French toast dusted with powdered sugar 3 chocolate chip pancakes 2 cups of coffee It seems that his intention was to start the day off really well. For lunch, he took it a little easier: A pound of enriched pasta Two large ham-and-cheese sandwiches with mayo on white bread 1,000 calories of energy drinks For dinner, he had perhaps his lightest meal of the day: Another pound of pasta One 8-inch pizza Several energy drinks -
Pattaya Named as Top Choice for Thai Family Vacations by Agoda Survey

I rolled laughing anytime I saw someone go to accuse turn themselves in for a 100,900 hospitel lock up -
never been there but dang so much hate in here

YOu can try duck duck go search engine, Although I hear they have already been flipped to the dark side despite being created for those who didn't want the narratives only links displayed when doing searches. Still worth a try. but for shopping, it hard to beat google still imo.

you do not want to use that for product searches. It's data is a year old. To chatgpt Iphone 14 isn't even out yet. besides, I see bad things coming from using something like this. It just gives an answer and you are supposed to take it as god's word, when really it's just the answer the powers be want you to hear: ie , yes, men can give birth to babies being such an example. on the flip side, I hear bing has already incorporated AI with their search and is fun to use at this stage in the game, and better than google.

Swedes and Thais fight each other over traffic rule in Phuket
Dart12 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I feel like the reporter could have easily taken the time to discover what the 'posted' law is for that street, no? But if I'm seeing heavy traffic driving on a street, despite postings, and I'm singled out by non law enforcement I might stand my ground as well if pushed. Also. Are we sure these are swedes? Also look just like people from Finland. -
What to do if Thai police stop you and attempt a ‘shake-down’
Dart12 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Is the witholding your ID and/or motorbike keys until you return with proof of violation payment receipt allowed? or can you tell them to bug off, just give me my ticket and I'll be on my way? Pattaya police like to do the above move. -
don't know. Living near central I don't feel like theres a huge amount of tourists compared to pre covid... But I went in the morning on a thursday and the line was almost out of the lot. I then phoned my agent and went home. Not waiting 4 or 5 hours (or more if have to wait thru lunch too).

good question
-
would you mind elaborating on this scenario of why or what changed or what was correct prognosis? and I assume NorfloxStar is Norfloxacin mispelled? (at least what google is telling me)

that's normal for any country for their citizens for re-entry. It's not really discrimination when universal. However, all the requirements to now get into Thailand ARE pretty blatant discrimination to rest of world to suck on China teets. Nobody meets any of these requirements anymore EXCEPT for the people living in the stone age of China policy that have been mandated to keep re-filling the human body poison. Also a total joke as even Pfizer has come out and had to openly admit it doesn't prevent transmission. No efficacy has been discovered. And even the establishment now advertises it as just cold like symptoms (but still promote getting boosters of course). There is no purpose for any of this save the ability to manufacture tyranical control at the snap of a finger (for all countries save a very few).

Tastes. Some people love it. It can be annoying for sure. There are definitely audiophiles that it's an art for them. I find it more Little Richard syndrome though (in this day and age of tech) with loud engines and mufflers on cars and bikes. Yes, once upon a time big muscle necessitated big noise, but that's no longer the case. so now it's just for "look at me, pleeeeeaaaasse"

Feedback so far is great facilities and modern equipment and great pricing, but also long waits (especially first time) and to take a translator as few speak English. (and also pretty far for multiple visits)

Yes, sorry, in the morning I was typing this out in many replies. Queen Hospital in Sirikit was the one I was referring to and asking about if someone had any experience to share. I'm getting the impression is that I go to first, almost any first close proximity hospital and get a general idea of issues and then seek out the specialist I would prefer. Unless I'm unable to google it, when I search Bangkok Hosptital Jomtien I only find "Jomtien Hospital". Absolutely nothing showing BKK in it. is JH actually Bangkok Jomtien Hospital? I did contact JH and they do not have a urologist at all. Thanks for the med purchase advice too

Visa agent not responding to calls
Dart12 replied to Guderian's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You are last on the agent's priority list. Herself first. She may be borrowing funds from you to cover other expenses knowing she'll get money back and EVENTUALLY take care of you. My last agent after doing 3 visas successfully went MIA for a month like this before popping back up with everything ok. What should have been 3 days was 30 to get my passport back. But she avoided my calls and texts for almost 10 days PAST my date. I had no idea if I was legal or not. She also Caused me to miss my License test (which was I had waited a and planned out over a month after I should have gotten passport back. Caushing me to have to go to DLT 2 more times and re-purchase all my certs to take there again. It was all very stressful. So I know how you feel. I hope it all works out soon for you. -
Heard goodthings about BKK Jomtien? I have Not heard any good or bad about them personally. Only usually that BKK pattaya is outrageously priced.
-
Thank you so much. Have you Heard anything about the queens hospital or BKK Jomtien hospitals as well?
-
Nothing yet. Just doing check up and minor concerns. But might as well start on path with one facility and doctor. Thank you for your advice and help as always ????
-
thank you. I think I'm gonna start initially at Memorial from feedback so far
-
I didn't put in Health since I am looking local. But thank you. However, I thought it was consensus to stay AWAY from BKK Pattaya?
