  1. Was this written by AI? There’s actually no change. Horribly misleading.
  2. Thank you so much. I did manage to find a few pages from Rex. I will take a read through. Appreciate the reply.
  3. Thank you Sheryl for that referral. I’ll check it out. Both Singapore and Hong Kong have patient groups and Singapore has a dedicated ALS clinic. With the much larger population in Thailand I was hoping there would be something available locally.
  4. Does anyone know if there is any expertise in Thailand when it comes to monitoring and treatment of ALS? It cannot be cured but in some countries there are clinics that provide support in terms of monitoring progression, providing what drugs are available, equipment, and so on. Also I can’t seem to find any sort of groups for people with the disease. Bumrungrad has some neurologists that can do basic diagnostics but their experience is limited. Thank you!
  5. Lawyer. Would have been much cheaper than what she did.
  6. Needs a lot more detail. The person who owed the money could have said, “no” and that would be the end of it.
  7. Years ago a bar on Sukhumvit would give out free shots of Lao Kao out of a barrel. Was always suspicious of that stuff. Who the hell knows what it’s made of or what used to be stored in that container.
  8. Man, these sequels are so predictable these days. Same plot but they cut all the action and shrink the timelines down. Let me guess. Naughty behavior, protests, a denial that a coup is coming, coup, and we get another bringing happiness to the people song.
  9. Case#5247 of someone going AWOL when they were supposed to be heading home. Family is worried and posts all over social media then flies to Thailand. Said person is located and all we get is a brief update, “person is found and is safe” or if we are lucky, “person doesn’t want to be contacted” meaning they’re both safe and annoyed that their impromptu extended holiday has been rudely interrupted. And every time it was “out of character” for the person.
  10. Gatekeepers like Dan should remember that border runs are never guaranteed. In the past there have been plenty of cases of people being turned away at the border for “excessive” (at the discretion of the immigration official in front of you) number of tourist entries despite the person technically doing nothing wrong.
  11. Only winners to come out of this will be the police who can get an amount of bribes back. And maybe the God squad who think they they will somehow get bonus points. Lost tax revenue, lost tourism revenue, and most importantly loss of personal freedom. So long as the people using cannabis are adults why should the government have domain over what they can put in their bodies?
  12. Bringing unhappiness to the people. Wonder if we will get another song out of it?
  13. It’a great to get the word out because no matter what the details are you’ll need to file a return, and not filing is going to inevitably become a problem. What would be nice is clarity on the details. If you search for articles you’ll find some saying that it’s only income under certain buckets that qualifies, specifically income from employment, from business, and from property. Other articles say it’s all forms of income, even those from a pension. Given this is for 2024 income, it would be good for people who need to pay to know now so they can save a bit of money every month rather than be hit with a nasty bill suddenly next year.
  14. I’ve drafted an apology for them to use: ”I’m sorry I said that you paid 300m Baht. I might have gotten that number wrong, I don’t know, maybe you can let me know. Or maybe nothing was paid and the charges just sort of dropped on their own? Yeah I guess any of us could run over policemen in our Ferraris while high and blame it on our bodyguards and refuse to take alcohol or drug tests and the charges would be dropped too. I mean no big deal right? Happens every day. So yeah I’m sorry for saying that 300m baht was paid, something else probably happened that was not 300m baht in payments. Yeah. Super sorry.”
  15. Interesting to see the flurry of news about this guy lately. The funny thing is nothing that he has done is necessarily unusual for someone in his position. Looks like it’s a power struggle and someone is muscling their way in.
