What Sunscreen Do You Use and Why Do You Like Your Brand?
MichaelHunt replied to connda's topic in General Topics
Sunscreens are a case of getting hit from both sides: First of all, they block out the sun (obviously) - which prevents us from getting essential vitamin D. And then on top of that, they are full of harmful chemicals. (I think sunscreens are responsible for the huge rise in skin cancer over the years.) Even though I have very pale skin, my solution is/was to gradually build up my exposure to the sun. I started with just five minutes a day, and now I can lie in the sun for an hour without burning. The point is to avoid burning, which can be done by simply knowing your limits - and limiting your exposure accordingly. So my advice: Avoid sunscreens - and opt instead for sensible exposure. (Do you really think that humans were created to need to block the sun from our skin? The sun is the great giver of life and health!) -

Travel Insurance – travel from Thailand within Asia
MichaelHunt replied to Bubbha's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
It was a reasonable question. Every insurance company is good - at taking your money. What really matters is whether they pay out their claims. I used to always use AIG. I don't know if they're still around. But once I did need to make a claim, and they were quite fair and professional about it - paying what they had promised to pay upon my presentation of my doctor's bill from a clinic in Lusaka, Zambia. -
Update on my previous estimate of the delivery time: I ordered two packages on 2 March, and they both arrived today (to my pleasant surprise), after only eight days! (I am in Bangkok.)

That's the one I use. I suppose the main difference is that the prices are quoted in THB, which might make it easier for Thai customs.
-
It seems to vary. I got free shipping recently on an order over 1,400 baht. So maybe that amount changes according to the current USD/THB exchange rate?
-
This is the one that I have used - with good results.
-
My understanding is that as long as you keep your orders to under 1,500 baht, customs will not interfere. My deliveries usually take two to three weeks. I have two separate orders on the way now - separated intentionally to avoid any customs duties.

1. It's against forum rules to bold print. This is a comment of someone who has run out of arguments. 2. Nobody is Australia is prohibited from reading anything. Yes they are. They are prohibited from reading everything that is not allowed to be written due to censorship. 3. This person is just searching for relevance having lost her bid for a parliamentary seat at the last election. The chances that both she and her wife both suffering debilitating effects of the vaccine have to be vanishingly small given the reported statistics. Correct - as you say - "given the REPORTED statistics". But given the true numbers, which, again, we don't get to see without really searching for them due to massive censorship, the debilitating effects of the vaccines are staggeringly high. If the risks were really as "vanishingly small" as you say they are, what is the probability that two people in the same family, as it were, would both be suffering debilitating effects from the "vaccine"? I would say the odds of a safe vaccine affecting two people in the same family would be vanishingly small.

Given all the debt in the world that can in no way ever be paid back, I don't see how a collapse of the global financial system - or at least the dollar - can be avoided. I hope I am wrong (but I don't think I am), so I want to do at least something to prepare myself in case it happens. I'm betting that gold will form a part of the next monetary system - as gold has been used as money for thousands of years. Worst case scenario, I end up holding too much gold, which has the downside of not paying a dividend, so there's definitely an opportunity cost. (I own a stock that pays me an 8% tax-free dividend, so that's the opportunity cost to me of holding gold.) There's also the risk that the gold could be stolen, but I also think that there's a risk that money in a bank account could be confiscated - if the worst case scenario plays out. (It's happened before, in Cyprus not so long ago, for example, if you recall.) But I look at holding gold as insurance against the uncertainties facing the world now. There is also the advantage that it is very easy to buy physical gold in Thailand, unlike in most countries in the west. Here, I can buy gold bullion from a reputable dealer at my local shopping mall - with a very narrow spread between the buying and selling prices. Anyway, that's the short answer to your question, and it is based entirely on what I see in the world. You might see things completely differently, in which case a different strategy might be more appropriate for you. Or you might see the same issues that I see - but have a different way of protecting yourself.

That's EXACTLY what he does. He obviously has better connections than the rest of us have.

In that case, I call you out for misinformation, because I can show you lots of studies that shows that masks are ineffective and even dangerous: https://brownstone.org/articles/more-than-150-comparative-studies-and-articles-on-mask-ineffectiveness-and-harms/ I therefore demand that you be censored - and suspended. How do you feel about censorship now? (Don't worry - I'm sure you're not at risk of being censored - even if you are spreading misinformation - because you are spreading the officially approved misinformation.)
-
When you can win an argument, declare your opponents to be spreading misinformation and try to get them censored. Does it make you feel good to resort to such desperate measures? Do you really think that there is anything that shouldn't be questioned?
-
I am not visiting Thailand. I live here. And I don't consider masks to be a waste of time - because it doesn't take time to wear a mask. I consider them to be ineffective - and dangerous, both physically and mentally, for the health of humans.

COVID will never be "over", just like colds and the flu will never be over. But there is no longer a COVID pandemic. It's endemic. If masks only didn't work and were not actually harmful, I would consider wearing one. But they are both ineffective - AND harmful, not to mention dehumanizing. https://brownstone.org/articles/more-than-150-comparative-studies-and-articles-on-mask-ineffectiveness-and-harms/
