The conflict in Burma is in fact large and there are ways in which it has affected other countries in the region; such as Thailand. The reason as to why it might not receive as much international attention could be because of the type of media it gets, interests of the geopolitical aspect, or serious lack of coverage from powerful news giants.

U.S. FDA approves the new Covid vaccine
orang37 replied to TallGuyJohninBKK's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Even if COVID-19 isn't grabbing headlines like it used to, it's still around and affecting people. Cases and deaths are up, so it’s a good reminder to stay aware and take precautions as needed. -
However, some of the information you mentioned may be a bit exaggerated. For example, while it's true that vaping isn't without risks, it's not accurate to say one vape contains as much nicotine as six packs of cigarettes. The nicotine content varies depending on the device and liquid used, and many people choose lower-nicotine options to help them gradually reduce their intake. Vaping can be harmful, especially for young people who shouldn't be using it, but it can also be a useful tool for adults trying to quit smoking. I've been vaping for about two years now, and it helped me quit regular cigarettes. I used to smoke a pack a day, but vaping made the transition easier for me, and now I vape only occasionally. To avoid any risks, I always buy from verified sites to ensure I'm getting quality products. If you're concerned about the accessibility of vaping products for kids, you might want to look into options like same day vape delivery in London, which often requires age verification to make a purchase.

2 dead already. Jesus, that's something. What a world we're living in. Perhaps they should get good lawyers, like this law firm.

It’s tough to see someone in such a dark place, especially if you’ve seen similar struggles before. Reaching out and suggesting professional help is definitely the right move. Even if he’s just acting out, it might still be a cry for help that needs addressing. Hopefully, he’ll take the advice seriously and get the support he needs.

Wow, that’s a really powerful story! I tried quitting smoking a few times myself and had a similar experience. The hardest part for me was breaking the routine—like not having a smoke with my coffee in the morning. I started chewing gum and drinking tons of water whenever I felt the urge. Also, I kept a jar where I put in the money I would have spent on cigarettes each day. Seeing that grow was a huge motivator.

How much do you drink (if at all)
orang37 replied to still kicking's topic in I Drink Too Much Forum
I’m pretty similar—I’ll have a glass or two of red wine in the evening, maybe a bit more if I’m feeling fancy. I don’t really do beer or spirits. Keeps things simple and enjoyable. -
I’ve used CBD in the past for mood management, and it worked well for a few months, but then its effectiveness seemed to wear off. After that, I switched to vaping, and I’ve found it more helpful for managing stress and mood swings. I vape NEXA Pro 30000, it’s been a good fit for me.

Help needed for best way to sell my house in the UK
orang37 replied to Keith5588's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
Since you’re planning to return to the UK soon, it’s wise to take some time to understand the current real estate market and potential tax implications, especially regarding capital gains tax. For the most up-to-date information, consulting with a local property expert or estate agent could be very helpful. They can guide you on current practices, such as the benefits of using online platforms to list your property, and clarify the latest fee structures. I recently faced a similar situation and found a company that really made the process smoother for me. They helped me not only with selling my property but also provided valuable advice on how to handle the capital gains tax issue. They offer a comprehensive service that includes evaluating your home, managing the sale process, and connecting you with tax professionals if needed. I highly recommend checking them out, as they might offer solutions that align well with your current needs. You can find more details there. -
For a first step, you might want to look into ACE inhibitors like lisinopril or ARBs like losartan. They're pretty common and have fewer side effects. You can usually find them at local pharmacies without a prescription in Thailand.

Hey, I’m not 100% sure about Bangkok, but you might want to check with international clinics or hospitals that cater to expats, they’re usually the best bet for stuff like this.

If you’re looking for a no-fuss sunblock, try the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen. It’s really straightforward and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling.

I had a minor hand surgery in Bangkok a couple of years ago. At a private hospital, it was around 20,000 to 30,000 THB (about 600-900 USD). Prices might vary depending on the hospital and specifics of the procedure, though.

What treatment/antibiotics for prostate stones/UTI?
orang37 replied to simon43's topic in Health and Medicine
Man, that sounds really tough. I’ve had issues with recurring UTIs myself and had to go through a lot to get them sorted. Definitely get a urine culture done if you haven’t already; it’ll pinpoint the bacteria and help figure out the right antibiotics. I ended up seeing a specialist who really knew their stuff about chronic infections, and that made a huge difference for me. Maybe a urologist could offer some fresh insights or treatments for your situation. -
Yeah, that sounds about right. I had a friend who lost a relative in Bangkok, and the funeral costs were similar. If you go for a traditional service or extra details, it can really add up. It’s definitely more than what you’d expect for a basic funeral.

If you're looking for properties in gated communities that are registered as condos but have the appearance of villas, I'd recommend reaching out to agents who specialize in "condo-villas." These properties are becoming more popular, and a good real estate agent with experience in these hybrid options can guide you better. I've heard good things about agencies like CBRE and Bangkok Condos that have listings in this niche, so they might be worth checking out. On a related note, if you're also open to looking outside of Thailand, I recently found out about some incredible Apartments, Properties, and Villas for sale in Marbella. The market there offers a wide range of freehold properties, which might align well with what you're seeking in terms of ownership and investment. If you’re ever considering diversifying your real estate portfolio, villas for sale in Marbella might be worth exploring.

Where can I buy quality running shoes other than The Malls?
orang37 replied to connda's topic in Chiang Mai
For comfortable and durable sportswear, I recommend checking out brands like Nike, Under Armour, and Lululemon. Nike's Dri-FIT line is excellent for moisture-wicking during intense workouts, and Under Armour is known for their heatgear fabric that keeps you cool. Lululemon might be on the pricier side, but their gear lasts a long time and feels great. I also recently discovered Running Supply, which is a directory of the best-designed running shoes, apparel, bags, and accessories. They curate high-quality sportswear from various brands, so it's a great resource to find exactly what you're looking for in terms of comfort and durability. You might want to explore their recommendations to find some top-notch gear for your workouts. You can check it out here: https://running.supply/ -
Mini excavator for farm, has anyone bought one?
orang37 replied to Sakeopete's topic in Farming in Thailand Forum
I recently bought a mini excavator for my farm, and it's been a game changer. After doing some research, I decided on the Kubota KX033-4. It’s got a good balance of power and size, with a mid-range operating weight of about 7,000 pounds and a maximum dig depth of around 10 feet. It’s perfect for tight spaces, like working between trees or near fences, and the zero tail swing makes it super maneuverable. If you're considering getting one, definitely think about what kind of projects you’ll be doing. For me, the Kubota’s enclosed cab with heat and A/C was a nice bonus since I spend a lot of time in it during all seasons. It’s also compatible with various attachments, which makes it versatile for different tasks around the farm. If you're trying to figure out the best option, you might want to check the steps about how to choose a mini excavator to help with your decision. -
I’ve been using the Thai Sumigran for a few months now, and it’s been pretty effective for my migraines—kind of like the Imigran/Imitrex I used to buy. The big price difference is a huge plus, and so far, I haven’t had any issues with it. I looked into Rx Chumchon, the maker, and they seem to be a reputable company. Still, if you have any doubts, it’s always a good idea to chat with your doctor.

When I had to bring my meds into Thailand, I reached out to the Thai embassy for guidance. They were super helpful and gave me clear info on what I could bring and how much. I’d recommend doing the same since they can give you the most up-to-date and accurate details. From what I’ve heard, for prescription meds like yours, a 30-day supply is usually fine, but definitely check with the embassy to avoid any issues.

I totally get how annoying that must be. I had a similar issue a while back and found that getting a thorough check-up was key. My PSA levels were fine too, so it wasn’t that, but my doctor put me on some meds that really helped. I’d suggest talking to a urologist about alpha-blockers or other options—they really made a difference for me. As for finding a good doctor in Chiang Mai, you might want to ask around in local expat groups or forums. They usually have some solid recommendations for specialists.

French Olympics - The Last Supper
orang37 replied to Celsius's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
I agree, it was quite extreme and unthoughtful of them to portray it in such a way...
