Report Bangkok Teacher’s Brutal 200-Squat Punishment Lands Student in Hospital
pacovl46 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Back in the day I bought Arnold’s bodybuilding Bible and then went down to the fitness center to work out for the first time in ages. I used his beginner training plan that’s mentioned in the book and used the recommended weight and did a full workout. Following that I’ve spent the 4 most excruciating weeks of my life. My arms were locked and my legs barely worked. Turning around in my sleep used to wake me up for the first 2 weeks because of the pain. Needless to say my muscles were f.cked! But I didn’t sustain any liver damage and I think it’s safe to say that more of my muscles were wrecked that that of this student because I trained my arms as well that day. But then again, just because it didn’t happen to me, doesn’t mean it can’t happen to someone else. For the legs I did 5 sets of 15 repetitions, but I used 20 kilos of weight plus the weight of the bar, which was at least another 10 kg, which all together was almost half my body weight back then. So, I have a pretty good idea what 200 squats must feel like! -

There will definitely be damage after 200 squats, absolutely no doubt about that. But, I highly doubt, that the student was able to do 200 in a row with no breaks in between. That’s pretty much impossible. Will 200 really result in liver damage? I’m not saying it’s impossible, but 200 squats seems too low a number.

Accident Body of British Man Found After Fall from Phuket Yacht

Good question. Maybe they have cameras onboard who recorded him falling in., or maybe forensics came to the conclusion that he must have been in the water for a specific amount of time, or maybe someone aboard heard a splash at around that time…. -

Well, first of all, don’t run from the cops,. Secondly, wear a helmet, then your head won’t bruise when you get kicked off the bike by the cops while trying to flee from them! Duh! -

I’m sorry, but I find it hard to believe that “only” 200 squats will cause that. -
Obviously these cables are being used for secret communication between the US and the UK, so therefore it's in the interest of the US to say something. Having said that, if the UK are stupid enough and let them build the embassy there, then they'll deserve whatever is coming to them. I hate Trump, but in this case I'm with him. It's no coincidence that they want to build it exactly there!

Report Thailand Tightens Grip on Retirement Visas Amid Wealth Shift

Just for your information. If you can prove that the money for the land, tractor, houses etc. came from your bank account she will have to reimburse you. She can’t just take everything and boot you out. If she doesn’t have the money, she’ll have to sell, which means she most likely ends up with nothing after you got your cut! Also, the corrupt immigration place isn’t the only place you can go to! -

Yeah, it's probably not going to be that easy. It's doable, though. -

Someone else just replied to me. He said the minimum age is 20 and you must have been paying income tax for at least three years. That's definitely doable. I would totally go for it as soon as it is possible. Kudos to your little one for his Thai skills! 😶 -

Foreigners can definitely apply for Thai citizenship. A friend of mine who’s from Ireland has got it about 2 years ago now. He’s been living and working in Thailand since 2002 continuously. It’s definitely worth looking into it. Does your son go to a Thai school and speaks fluently Thai or does he go to an international school? He would definitely have to prove that he can speak some Thai. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but good enough that you can answer some questions about yourself when they interview you as part of the application process. I think they grant 100 citizenships per year per nationality, or something along those lines. -
