I am boycotting Grab. Used a foreign card on Grab Mart, card was debited the funds, Grab stated the order was unsuccessful and refused refunding the payment. I even submitted the bank advice. Customer service was useless. The amount wasn't worth my sanity in going after them legally. I just refuse to use their services. Competition is good.

This is not medical advice. A systolic reading of 150 is to be treated as a serious risk for a heart related event or stroke. You need to see a cardiologist. I am 70 and have had 1 heart attack due to generational family history. I have been on statins since 1996 as well as Omacore. I am the longest living male member of my family. I am also the only one that has never had bypass operations. I recommend you purchase a blood pressure monitor for home use. Omron is reasonable priced and accurate. Take a reading upon waking after relaxing and seated after 3-5 minutes. There are many free phone apps to keep a record of your systolic, diastolic, and pulse. The reading at the doctors office will almost always be higher due to a number of factors. I took mine this morning and I am still over my goal at 127/66 with a pulse of 60. A key to managing is eating correctly, exercise, very little alcohol (I might have a beer 1x per month. Strength training is important but at 150 I would get a cardiologists opinion before starting on any program. Walking is excellent at ideally 6000-10000 per day or at least 4 days per week. Again speak with your doctor. Periodic blood tests will help you gain a measure of indicative control over the cause and effect of changes to your lifestyle. I have seen a remarkable or rather incredible reduction in my triglyceride levels after taking Omacore (OTC Omega 3 esters) for a while. I was treated excellently at Bumrungrad for the minor heart attack but left due to my doctor's arrogance and impatience during my queries. I have since changed doctors and really enjoy my current cardiologist Dr. Apichai Pongpatananurak at Samitivej Sukhumvit. If you think you require more individual care then you may want to see him. A number of Thai physicians aren't very receptive to interaction and act in a hierarchical manner. They know and you don't. Dr. Apichai doesn't operate that way. I have validated his protocols and I am satisfied with his advice, protocols, and results. Best of luck and don't wait to see a Dr.

Back in the 1990s I exploded 2 lumbar discs doing excessive deadlifts. I no longer used medicine as most negatively affect the liver. If needed, which is rarely, my go to drug is the generic Celecoxib, brand name Celebrex. It helps and doesn't upset the stomach as much as other NSAIDs as it is a COX-2 (enzyme) inhibitor which spares COX-1, which helps spare the stomach and kidneys. It, like other NSAIDs, comes with a host of warnings especially cardiovascular so do your homework if you have ASCVD. I have learned to manage the pain through exercise and knowing how to move. Occasionally I take a strong Indica before bed and it's light out. To avoid taking drugs internally I can recommend starting with a topical like Voltaren gel (Diclofenac) or Elmetacin spray. They may be all you need for short term relief.

You could be allergic to wheat or gluten which manifests as skin inflammation. The Thai Public Health Administration has recently urged vigilance regarding contamination in instant noodles, particularly concerning ethylene oxide residue. A number of years ago contaminated noodles in India, Maggi, produced by Nestle, was found to contain ~7 times the allowable amount of lead. Lead is a known factor in skin allergies among other maladies. Anyhow, ultra processed noodles are a very poor source of nutrition. Fresh noodles are sold in most supermarkets.

What does this government do for the people? I frequently visit my wife's grandmother in a small moo baan in Surin province. There are at least 8-10 vicious dogs in the street at any given time. I walk with a weapon to protect my 3 year old grandson. I have a number of photos of these beasts. The attached was taken in the street just outside a neighbors house. If you go to the Amphoe hospital invariably there are people in the ER with dog bites. I guess public safety isn't a priority.

I couldn't access the site either. It worked today July 5th. I ordered and shipped today.

The government should be ashamed. Selling lizards for 500 baht? What's next? Flea markets to gin up revenue. They should just copy/troll Trump's corrupt schemes. Last year I was in Koh Rong and there were lizards the size of Komodo Dragons. They were just walking about.

The idea is clear, but the writing is excessively wordy—an example of poor journalism. Feral behavior.

My conspiracy theory of the week. The PM is a weak puppet that is failing on many fronts. The puppet master sees Anutin as a threat even if he is compliant. He is pushed out to a lesser role. Now the issue of legalizing cannabis, which he championed and brought to fruition, is now a health hazard and an export concern. I call it more BS from the puppet master.

"His expected promotion follows Thaksin Shinawatra's remarks on the lack of reach of populist policies under Anutin’s leadership." Need I say more about this rats nest?

This could be a "collar" given to Thai police by dark Public Security Bureau offices in Thailand the PSB has illegal offices in many countries extending the king arm if the black hand. When the triads turn their crime to the PRC and enough people are affected they have acted in the past.

Another stumbling forward of this inept government. I have 2 step kids in high school in BKK. The school requires the parents administer COVID-19 tests prior to the kids leaving for school. Everywhere we look tests are sold out. None to be found. Parents must be sending the kids without testing as the students are falling victim at an alarming rate. No air purifiers. Deer in lights when Corsi-Rosenthal boxes are mentioned. Pathetic suffering due to lax to zero leadership. Corrupt regimes always cause the everyday people to suffer. I would be disappointed if this wasn't the norm and I wasn't a Farang.
