  1. Thanks to TallGuyJohninBBK and to Connda I lived and worked in China about 20 years ago and so I know there are manufacturers of excellent products and fake products which means we must verify what we buy. Probably the most expensive food supplement is NMN and it is for 90% or more manufactured by Effepharm Shanghai (repacked and resold under other brand names mostly in the USA and UK) : this is an excellent product. However about my question related to Glycerine with a certificate FCC IV my doubt was right and I copy hereunder the reply I got from a manufacturer in China : I need to by Pharmaceutical Grade and not FCCIV grade QUOTE Dear Ferdinand, Good day to you. Got your email forwarded by my colleague and checked with factory, the Glycine food grade is used in the food industry(mainly in seasoning application), and could meet FCC IV grade. While If put it in food supplement, they need to use Glycine Pharmaceticual grade. Regards, UNQUOTE
  2. I have searched many online sources. From one supplier I bought what I supposed to be a Thai product but I got once more glycine made in China (a quality certificate was added but it was based on the international Food Chemicals Codex of 1999 i.e. FCCIV) Does any Forum member know where to buy glycine suitable as food supplement for humans?
  3. Thank you ! Can this Teclast T40 also connect to router for internet connections at home ?
  4. What are the cheapest options for a tablet PC which can also connect to the internet ? (eventually also fit on a separate keyboard) I think 6 Gb RAM should be OK but which generation so that it can later be updated?
  5. I think it was Napoleon who said that "history" are the lies on which everybody agrees (look how history is created during the Donald Trump period)
  6. In the USA they are talking about reparations to the decents of slaves .....will Chuvit the new "saint of Thai politics" now also pay reparations to the girls who made him rich?
  7. On CNN the neurosurgeon Dr Sanjay Gupta made detailed reports that unitl now nobody died of overdose cannabis and that it helps a lot of people for pain management (you can find on Youtube under the name "Weed") I believe cannabis is very damaging for the longs if you smoke it but I see no problem to swallow it / I never touched it but I would like to be availabe in case I am affecting by a long and painful illness. However I agree also that the business should be strongly regulated.
  8. I get my order within 3 weeks and indeed DHL seems to have a fast track
  9. I import vitamins from the USA using DHL : up to a value of 4000 THB no problems
  10. Her clothing is out of date with the rags now worn everywhere. Fashion is what forces you to be ridiculous because you are scared to seem ridiculous.
  11. I agree / a few weeks ago I passed on the Chaengwattana express way a car driving backwards (with flashing lights) about 2 to 3 Km further than the exit it had missed...This is a toll road and apparently they did not want to use the next exit and then return...
  12. It is a matter of being well organised. Stalin said the people who vote are not important, all depends on the people who count the votes (as we can notice in the US elections)
  13. medical system is indeed very good if you can afford it or have a good health insurance
  14. SCB bank refused "silent signature" of my wife on my account : they will accept only if the account has the name of both of us
  15. Did you obtain a confirmation in writing that you showed an updated book : if you just have to show without any trace then they will not remember when you apply again for your next annual extension.
  16. It was issued at Pathum Thani Immigration office and indeed it should be "extension" and not "visa"
  17. There is a new regulation for those with extension based on 800,000 THB in the bank I have to report to Immigration with update of my bank book in July after 3 months (to check if the 800K are still there) and in October after 6 months (to check if I have still 400K left) Question : I plan my summer holidays in Europe in July and August : what should I do ? Did any Forum member had to face this situation?
  18. Thanks to the Forum members who replied. My extension based on retirement with 2 months money in the bank was accepted (although I/O papers want 3 months for a first application but as I was already in their system with previous extensions based on marriage they made it easy) I am still married but just tired of the increasing paperwork to get an extension based on marriage. Until 5 years ago I/O accepted an affidivit supporting by a printout of my government pension / then my signature had to be legalised by the Embassy / then further legalisation at the CW Consular department became necessary etc etc... I am not blaming the I/O who told me how many "fake" declarations of income were noticed the last years by Immigration Head Office.
  19. For more than 10 years I have obtained an extension of a Non Imm-O based on marriage and 400,000 THB in the bank 2 months before the new application (in fact I never touched the money). Now I want to switch to the less complicated extension based on retirement. 1) on 2 February I increased my bank account to 800,000 THB 2) my previous extensions always ended on 27 April 3) I thought to go now on 3 April to make the application for a "retirement" extension because I have then the 800,000 THB in the bank for 2 months 4) Could I be refused this extension because I/O wants this 800,000 THB in the bank 3 months before the application? I that case could I apply for a one month extension first (up to 27 May) and then apply for a "retirement extension" after May 2nd?
  20. This is not the place to discuss foreign policy. One thing has to be said : every Russian who has money tries to get out of their country Already a French aristocrat expressed surprise about this nearly 200 years ago The Marquis de Custine and His Russia in 1839: Kennan, George Frost: 9780691051871: Amazon.com: Books
  21. It is in the genes : Is that also the defense which the Red Bull heir can make ?
  22. Is this a repetition of the drama which happened a long time ago when thieves of scrap metal also took radioactive rods from a hospital and I believe one of them died?
  23. I tried to find the Health and Medicine Forum but I failed
  24. Sorry I cannot find the old topic "Health and Medecin" so I try this "General topic" I bought from Lazada some NMN powder of which I am supposed to take one "scoop" a day.....but no sample of a "scoop" was added. Is "scoop" in the AngloSaxon world a standard way to measure weight ? How many mg of this powder should be in one "scoop" ? Is there any comparison with one flat teaspoon or one flat tablespoon ?
  25. Many times the word "tribal" should be better than "racist".....indeed workers from Poland look not different than workers from the UK
