    Bipolar Or Manic Depressive Patients

    in Health and Medicine

    Can you please expand on what type of help you are looking for. From your post you sound like you are a care giver.

    Hi John,

    Yes, I am a care giver with a daughter diagnosed as having mood swing. What I am seeking for is a discussion group either for care- givers and/or patients in order to share knowledge and experience either through internet or attendance.

    For example, I like to know of the ways to coax a patient to take the medicines when the patient insisting that she is well and no longer needing any medical and psychiatrist care. This resistance symptom is common among this type of patients and the major cause for patients to have a relapse.

    Jomtien Condo Owners Sue For Sea View

    Condo owners sue for sea view

    PATTAYA: -- A group of Jomtien apartment owners has asked the Administrative Court in Rayong to halt the construction of a new residential building that will block their sea views.

    Ten foreign Jomtien Complex Condotel apartment owners are fighting to preserve their uninterrupted beach views following Pattaya City Council building permission for a new apartment building directly in front of them.

    The complaint asserts Pattaya City wrongly granted construction permission to View Talay Jomtien Condominium.

    It adds the permission did not meet 1978 planning regulations and alleges it will deprive them of their present unobstructed views of Jomtien Beach.

    Jomtien Complex Condotel resident of two years Richard Haines, 62, retired, is one of the plaintiffs. The United States expatriate claims the development of View Talay 7 is in breach of planning law.

    The building is on the beachfront and will obstruct views, he argued. "I purchased my condo in October 2005 when I decided to make Thailand my retirement home.

    "But the new View Talay 7 building will block me from ever seeing another sunset from my condo," he said.

    Haines alleged View Talay 7 was illegal because it was 14 metres in height and within 200 metres of the sea. Buildings of this height are prohibited within 200 metres of the shore by planning law, he said.

    Pattaya Mayor Niran Wattana-sartsathorn said the city correctly issued building permission.

    "I'm not worried that some foreigners are suing the city in the Administrative Court because we are just an agent to mediate this problem.

    "If the foreigners succeed it will be a precedent for others and maybe developers will think before getting into problems like this," Niran added.

    The court will hold a preliminary hearing tomorrow.

    And your point is?

    Hi Peter,

    The point is there is still hope in protecting one's right against view obstruction. Don't be surprised if Richard Haines win the case because the Administrative Court is sharp on any holes on the planning permit given by the local authority. Good luck, Mr. Haines!

    The Baht Goes Crazy

    I feel the baht won't drop below 34 (I'm talking against the USD and when xchanged here in LOS). I'm no expert; just a gut feeling that it's leveling off now and within 1 year will crawl back to 40.

    Maybe it's just wishful thinking........bet on black.......

    Hi, LoveDaBlues,

    I like to think that you are right. But I think you are having a high hope for the Baht to be weakened to 40. Because of the weakness of USD due to US's imbalance of trade and Asian surplus reserve being invested in USD, it is avoidable that Asian currencies would go on to be stronger. Breaking 34 is not difficult if no governmental intervention. I just simply hope that I am wrong for the sake of Thai exporters and tourist industry.
