Terrible, right, that amputation has to happen immediately. Every hospital (especially public ones) is obligated to provide assistance in life-threatening emergencies – even without immediate payment.

Sad. I hope he recovers. But afterward, they should give him the medication first – before handing him the hospital bill.

A legal copy ist already 1200 Baht. Sounds like the shop did a full reinstall instead of just cloning your old drive, and they may not have set up the SSD properly. A few things to check: Check boot order in BIOS/UEFI: Maybe it’s trying to boot from the wrong device first. Enter BIOS (usually by pressing Del, F2, or Esc during startup) and make sure the SSD is the first boot device. Fast Startup / Hibernate issues: Windows Fast Startup can cause boot problems on fresh installs. Try disabling it: Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do > Change settings that are currently unavailable > Uncheck “Turn on fast startup” Drivers or firmware If the SSD firmware or chipset drivers are missing or outdated, the system might hang. Go to the SSD manufacturer's site and get the latest firmware/drivers. Windows installation mode (AHCI vs RAID): If the SSD was installed with incorrect BIOS settings (like using RAID mode instead of AHCI), it can cause weird startup behavior. Changing this after installation requires care though, or Windows might fail to boot. As a temporary workaround: If you always have to hard-restart to make it boot, try doing a full shutdown (Shift + Shutdown) and see if that helps. Also test whether it behaves the same after sleep or hibernate.

It kinda depends on how tall you are, but for me, a pool needs to be at least 2 meters deep – that's perfect for hanging your spine and stretching it out.

Perfect dimensions.

I recommend Bumrungrad hospital.

Not just Chiang Mai – since I stay in Thailand, always some people burn something near my house. So annoying!

Again: Drop the abnormal 300% import tax on cars.

Normally the ATV company should have an insurance for that.

Good thing, 4% is money too. We pay currently about 9-10K Baht --> 400 Baht. Worldwide electricity prices: https://www.statista.com/statistics/263492/electricity-prices-in-selected-countries/

Thailand should drop the 300% import tax for cars.

This will provide long-term employment for Thais. The import of Chinese cars has already led to factory closures or job cuts at vehicle manufacturers in Thailand. Grunt labor?, have a look at china: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdrylgvr77jo

They lied about Deepseek, the costs were much higher, tens of thousands of NVidia H100 were installed and I don't see them being better than Mistral (FR) or chatGPT (US). The new BYD has a super fast charger (5 minutes) and other nice features, but I would only buy cars made in Thailand to support Thailand. Thailand is already suffering enough from all the cheap Chinese imports.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan said: "The mosques are our barracks, the minarets our bayonets, the domes our helmets and the believers our soldiers."

Sad, It will never change...

Thailand previously had plans to expand its crude steel production, but these were partly scaled back due to environmental regulations and international price pressure—especially from cheap Chinese steel.

Okay, seems to be new. Around 10 years ago, when I started paying taxes, I believe it was only in Thai. Since then, I’ve had a CPA handle it and I just check the figures.

Thailand is a great country with enormous potential. Unfortunately, as in some European countries, the governing parties seem more focused on fighting each other than on working together to develop long-term economic solutions. TIESC is more focused on visa-related matters and the simplification of administrative processes. There are many ways the economy could be sustainably strengthened: Effectively combatting corruption in the financial and administrative sectors, Allowing nominee directors, following Singapore’s example, to provide more flexibility for international entrepreneurs, Abolishing withholding tax on dividends to increase the country’s appeal as an investment hub, And lowering the overall tax burden, without undermining the state’s ability to function. In addition, clear and enforceable laws are needed to ensure economic fairness and legal certainty. Only a combination of economic openness and firm rule of law will allow Thailand to realize its full potential – for both local citizens and foreign investors.
