Well now that I read that the author doesn't have a serious weight problem it's worth noting he would not be a candidate for bariatric surgery or the new revolutionary anti obesity meds if they were available in Thailand. My suggestion of a middle path stands. Forget about a traditional go on a diet plan. Diets just don't work. Why torture yourself for nothing? Do consider changing the foods you eat to more health promoting ones and limit the health threatening ones as much as you can. You might consider researching Intermittant fasting. Ignore the dogmatic extremists on both sides. Enjoy your retired life in Thailand. You're doing well already not having a serious weight problem. At least be vigilant to make sure it doesn't get worse. Dieting could easily make it worse.

Trump has been accused of being a peeping Donald on naked underage girls in dressing rooms of pageants he ran. He's on thin ice accusing others.

Overall I do think Thai food is somewhat overrated but that could be a familiarity breeds contempt kind of thing. Yeah I get why it's popular internationally but I don't see how it rates compared to the best such as French, Chinese, Indian, etc.

I agree he can and should try to eat healthier but the concept of "dieting" is passe for very good reasons. But temper expectations. Having a good social network in old age is arguably more important than body weight to health.

I'm not surprised about the reaction to Kaeng Som. It's sour (and not sweet) and lots of people don't like sour foods. I happen to like sour and bitter but Kaeng Som isn't really a favorite of mine. The Thai foodie netizens should really get over themselves!

Isn't their lame line now well he didn't know about it, but if he had known about it ... It's funny Florida Man Trump is trying to wear the hawk and dove faces simultaneously. He would have shot down balloons he says and of course he can say anything. For Ukraine he can end it in 24 hours, which if anyone believes that ...

Thin people incorrectly think it is that simple.

Of course but once a person in their 70's is overweight/obese, surely you must know how remote significant weight loss that is kept off really is (short of bariatric or one of the new wave of diabetes meds now being used for obesity). BTW what is the status of those in Thailand? I am just suggesting that people not be masochists.

I doubt Biden should have shot it down but to suggest that he needs to resign for whatever decision he made on a relatively minor spying issue is beyond the pale aburd.

Yes of course and sadly for a large chunk of Americans, such garbage politics works.

Is the big guys store near Villa Market on 2nd road still open? Overpriced though. Better bets Bangkok or Lazada.

I would say your chances of losing significant weight and keeping it off are almost nothing via diet and exercise. Worse thing you can do is to starve yourself into slow metabolism where a cookie will gain you 5 pounds. But I would say it's wise to be sensible in your diet and do what physical activity you can. Such as No smoking Limit drinks to one a day Limit processed foods Limit carcinogens like processed meats Limit carbs and sugars including artificial ones Limit deep fried foods Limit unhealthy oils Boost health promoting foods such as Healthy fats Olive oil nuts, avocados Whole grains Natural foods Green tea Vegetables Fruits but in moderation because of sugar Doing that you shouldn't feel deprived, you'll still be able to enjoy any food you like in moderation and you should feel better. Maybe it would extend your time of more quality life.

Yes of course. It was felt as far away as Israel and Egypt. 7.8 is BIG ONE.

They are completely separate things. The show money orders have absolutely nothing to do with 90 day address reports.

Very few do hand out the orders. At Jomtien if you get the order,. it can be ignored.

90 day address reports are required. Best to do online. Show money orders are best IGNORED. No consequences if you do. They are completely separate things.

Much better to seek sources that are not naive that actually know a lot about the Russia Ukraine situation.

The Romanian government knows this case is receiving a lot of international attention. I don’t know how good or bad their justice system is normally, but it's fair to assume that they're taking extra care on such a high profile case. Which points to the probability that they do have the goods on Tate but are taking the time to do the charging right.

Naive analysis. Putin doesn't recognize Ukraine's existence.

You People This star studded movie about white black and/orJewish black racial tensions is controversial and in my opinion both very funny and painfully bad. But you have to watch it at least for for the Eddie Murphy kufi hat scene.

I don't think such facts are available. Why would the government release them? I want it to be easier and more reliable for us to do these reports and to get verification of success or failure. Apparently that's too much to ask for. Consider expats in countries like Colombia that don't even have a postal service! There really should be an online method to do this.

I'm sure it adds up. Not saying it's a policy to over cut off but I doubt the government is losing sleep over it.

I disagree. There will be a small percentage that don't complain or take a very long time to complain. Lots of people don't even need that money. The government has use of all that money in the meantime.
