Didn't think anyone still believes that BS

Expats ... How about everyone, everywhere, worldwide. Just get a full check up every year or so. Way too cheap in TH, not to stay on top of your health. Common sense rules. Know what the 'normal #s' are and simply stay in the heathy range. Far from rocket science.

Most recommend 1.6gr per 1gr body weight. Better 2gr per 1gr body weight. 2 X 80 = 160gr protein daily for me. Here's a ball park idea of gr per 100g: Not all charts agree. Thiis one agrees with another I saw; beef 260 per kg

Some = very few considering the size of USA, 19X larger than TH. TH has 1 large metro, USA has a few more. Apples & Orange Only 3 of 50 stated added up have more people than TH - wiki 2 of the states are larger than TH - wiki

I hope so, at least most of the time, since rainy season still winding down. Y'all might get a bit more, Sun/Mon. Still raining down here/PKK, occasionally, though they do seem to burn stuff, on the dry days, and understandable. We do the same, with our trash, maybe 1 day a month though, if that, since we don't produce much at all.

Yea ... I've compared some of the procedures I've had done here, to cost at Philly, PA, USA area (hometown) and the prices are eye watering Last procedure done, took all of 11 minutes, once prepped, cost $6500 USD here/Hua Hin govt hospital, w/12 hr stay in ICU for observation. Estimate quote for same, at Philly ... $50k-100k USD Simple things like X ray, ultrasound, blood test, colon/endoscopy, EKG are all just silly priced. A full yearly check up here, Xray, blood work, EKG, full abdominal ultrasound, etc, cost ~$300 here, Philly, would be a few $1000 Even when I lived in USA, I never had health insurance, and simply paid out of pocket if having on oops or issue. Never a burden, and simply pocket change. 1 dog was a different story, and more than a few $1000, but had to put her back together with a few pins, plates & screws

Not playing your silly game. My wife is the complete opposite of all your prejudice thoughts. Talking to ignorant bigots outside of TH, of nothing they have experienced ... guess next you'll suggest me to watch MSM for my news, opinions, and how to live Have a nice day

Yea, left decades ago, before ACA, and the silly priced healthcare. Use to go to the doc & drug store, and it would cost about the same as most 'insured' people's copayment now. And that's without the silly mandatory, monthly insurance premiums. Trump tried to axe ACA, but he is only 1 person. Thankfully stopped that, mandatory insurance or get fined/taxed. Telling people that have to buy something is simply wrong. Did you know in some states, a pharmacist is not even allowed to tell the customer, once their medical or insurance card is presented, that if they pay cash, the generic version is cheaper than their copayment ? Again, they wouldn't need to silly monthly insurance premiums. 12 months of those could easily pay for many people's healthcare needs. Another reason I'm in TH. That wasn't a thing before ACA.

In my world, all people are basically the same, most. Your example, just shows your prejudice IMHO. You'll find different traits, such as the ones you listed in all men & women, worldwide, not just Thais. Only morons are ashamed of their skin color, and fall into the silliness "I'm ashamed to be born white or whatever". YouTubes of, are great for comic relief. "Oh, sorry for my white privilege" ... priceless There was a time, when the brainwashing worked, though always on the weak minded. Remember the 50s, when our once a week house cleaner was asked by my mother, "What's the one thing you would like in life?", and shocked the hell out of me with his answer, as was expecting some new toy / possession ... "To have been born white". Thankfully, times have changed, in most civilized places.

What does that have to do with topic, 'Musk support of Trump and conflict of interest' ? What does that have to do with Trump ? Simply big pharma price gouging. Why hasn't biden/harris administration addressed it ? You can blame the worsening, expensive healthcare system on obama. When ever anything is mandatory to have/provide, the price skyrocket. Amazing, biden / harris administration coming to an end soon (hopefully not), and everything is still Trump's fault. Just another Musk / Trump bashing thread with no facts. Carry on 2024 ... HARRIS ... 2024

WSJ & NYT ... Trump has stated, he's not exactly an BEV fan, so no conflict w/Tesla, quite the opposite. See below photo Space X proved they can get the job done, when NASA can't, even though contracted to do so, at 2X the cost awarded to Space X. Boring Co ... successful business other's can't do as good. X ... free speech, part of the US Constitution. Not seeing any conflicts, just benefits to the American consumer.

It's a stimulant, all drugs are. If it stimulates hallucination, then as stated, Nana might not be the best place. Especially if taker is prone to a bit of paranoia, so crowds best avoided. Nana is weird enough when straight ...

As good as PKK's govt hosp is, (no private hosp here / Muang), I had a semi emergency medical oops, and after a quick 'stabilization', they transported me to HH Hosp for a very quick procedure, which couldn't be done at PKK Hosp. Apparently not immediately life threatening, since procedure done about 2 hrs after getting to PKK Hosp, (and <12 hrs in ICU for observation), but without it being done at HH Hosp, could have been a bit debilitation, or at least, cramping my style ... or not I self checked out next day, so all of 24 hrs of care Anyone considering Amphur Muang, Prachuap Khiri Khan for retirement, think again if having any major health issues, and get 'FULL' med check up, before deciding. Make sure no issues lurking

That's a different opinion, or what is dated on this recent thread

And yet, some areas starting to hit the unhealthy #s this month already, and that will last until the rains in May.

Agree, the city never did anything for me. Visited a couple times, abet, 20 yrs ago, but thought the same. The countryside on the other hand, is lovely, and actually only have a deeper appreciation for it, the last 4 years, as got to see a lot of it, with clear skies, during rainy season & cusp of, along with no tourist.

Don't know what the size of an embassy has to do with the air in CM. There's an US embassy in Iraq, I wouldn't live their either, or plenty of other places. Almost like saying ... 'A lot of ignorant people live/work there, so it must be nice'. I worked at EWR & DTW airports (Newark & Detroit), a couple of the busiest airports in the USA, that doesn't mean I'd enjoy living there. Besides, most of the staff at US embassy, are not US citizens. Correct when stating 'need to work' there, as I needed to work at EWR & DTW, but not my 1st or 50th choice, if better options were available, and left both ASAP. Typical non America reply, and I'm be kind

THANKS ... I'm not a fan of moving/living somewhere, only to have to leave for at least 6 months of the year, for healthy are to breath. When living in Udon Thani, I didn't have much choice, but as soon as daughter was done High School, we were gone. Actually bought land at PKK, before she graduated. Same if wanting a 'beach' holiday, playing in the surf, so don't go to a beach resort town, and then take a boat to a swimmable beach.

Not sure what that is suppose to mean. Budweiser is/was ? best selling beer in USA ... ... nuff said

He's a USA citizen, and hold at least 3 passports, Canada (mother) & South Africa (birth). He's my favorite African American

Hard to take the OP serious, or very inexperienced himself about stimulants. If friend has eaten them before, he/she will have no problem enjoying them in TH, just as anywhere. If their first trip to TH, then I would suggest not to do them on first couple days here. Hint: there's not a big sign on people stating 'I'm high on drugs', when taking stimulants. Everywhere is safe, as long as their behavior is safe.

Never understood the 'label' thing, probably because I was raised in a mixed hood, and we all got along well. Our parents were bigots, but somehow myself & neighborhood peers were not. Even more so than the almost non-existent 'local' racial divide, we literally lived on the 'other side' of the tracks, and a slight imaginary economic divide. Though reality, most of our houses were detached with decent yards, not twins. Having 2 black students in a high school graduating class of 235 students, and I was the only 'nig ger' lover, as both were good friends of mine, one my next door neighbor. We use to walk to school together. When I meet people that use labels, I pretty much have learned not to be their friends, and why I have so few. Along with ignoring most posts on AN. Aside from the racial bigots, the nationalism on here is a surprise. As you'd think people that traveled, wouldn't be so ignorant. Humans are a disgusting species, as prejudice & hatred is a learned trait, not an instinct. We, the dippy hippie crowd thought the world would be a better place in the future, it's not, and in some aspects, much worse. Damn embarrassing

OP did state why ... try to keep up

Is the Donald coming to CM ? Have you been checked for T .. D .. S ? Notice the left is still allowed to insult trump supporter, AN members, and bash trump, but others can't point out their derangement ... hmm
