  1. Pure luck. I hope you do not catch, intubation is not fun. Although the latest genetic variant is not so bad as previous genetic strains.
  2. I was suffering from a pingpong ball sized bladder stone - excruciating pain. Ultracet was far more effective than what I was prescribed in UK - Co-Codamol & I could take less pills (I hate pills) & have a greater painkilling effect.
  3. Try Ultracet, over the counter, very effective painkiller.
  4. Be very careful when using aspirin, a friend almost died due to aspirin allergy. Had taken aspirin for a pulled back muscle, went into convulsions. He did not know he was allergic. Regular use (painkilling strength) can cause bleeding in the stomach.
  5. Why are you here? Intrigued to know.
  6. Weather ( I come from Glasgow), Food (Aroi), People (partner is Thai), scenery/landscapes & Nature (stunning).
  7. ????? What about the crazies who were born in the USA????
  8. An easy option that will save many lives
  9. Problem as always with simplistic non-solutions is that those who benefit from corruption never pay the penalties. The small people are used as fallguys, they would get executed. And the rich would walk off into the sunshine with their ill-gotten gains, laughing all the way.
  10. Use a betadine eyedrops solution or gel. Used it in UK to get rid of conjunctivitis (pinkeye) a few times. Very effective.
  11. Indeed, trickle-down theory is garbage that rich Republicans use to brainwash poor Republicans into thinking it will benefit them. And they fall for it.
  12. Maybe they could grow some other kinds of rice that are really expensive such as carnaroli. Used in Italian risotto. Due to droughts, Italy has had major problems growing large amounts of suitable risotto rice varieties. An idea, it depends of the costs of getting it to market that might want it. If the transport costs are sufficiently low, then it might be more profitable than Thai rice.
  13. You are obviously unfamiliar with the mortality worldwide due to COVID.
  14. I assume total numbers are down, but Europeans as a percentage of the decreased total have gone up. USA not currently popular due to jail fears. So, more booking to other places, and I suspect Thailand has to thank Trump for what is a disaster for US tourism.
  15. Ask the dead policeman
  16. and some more https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/04/12/ice-tourist-detention-border-trump-immigration/82740260007/
  17. This is the story https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/05/i-was-a-british-tourist-trying-to-leave-america-then-i-was-detained-shackled-and-sent-to-an-immigration-detention-centre
  18. Europeans are switching from USA to anywhere else - not surprisingly law-abiding tourists they do not fancy getting jailed by the crazies at US border). So numbers go up in Thailand.
  19. Yes, everything in moderation.
