Ramathibodi hospital in Bangkok on Rama VI in Ratchathewi. It came very highly recommended by a friend of mine and I was very satisfied with their level professionalism, their expertise and reasonable pricing. Like most public hospitals it's not easy to get an appointment with a specialist, but it can be done if one is patient. It is very likely the best public hospital in Thailand.

Well I think it's good news that this kind of report is being released and is getting attention, it certainly goes against the covid narrative, and it certainly defies what Big Pharma, the CDC, and the WHO has been trying to convince us of all along. I was always a bit of a vaccine skeptic and thankfully information like this confirms what many of us thought might be the case.

Unless he took his eyes off the road to look at his phone, to determine where his next pickup was, instead of doing that before he started driving. That would be where the negligence came in.

Well the one possibility that you didn't mention is using the best public hospital that you can find. I have one in Bangkok that I use for things that are of a serious nature and the treatment is outstanding and world-class, and the cost is affordable. Even for things that were of a fairly serious nature, they never even approached the amount that you're looking at, as an annual premium. And then there is a great deal of satisfaction in just saying no to the insurance mafia.

Forgive me, your highness. I did not realize there was a video link. You are correct. Looks like he was distracted and was not looking at the road?

I think what your interpreting as a moral decline is actually an awakening on the part of the youth, and the realization that the authorities and institutions that they may have once respected, no longer deserve any of that respect.

Obama is absolutely correct Trump wants nothing more than to be a dictator, and to have absolute power. His actions recently have shown a total overreaction to the Los Angeles riots, the bringing in of the National Guard, and the Marines, and countless other actions that this goon has taken, that show his autocratic tendencies. This is a very dangerous time in America and Trump is only helping to precipitate the decline that has already been happening for a long time now.

While changes need to be made and the young PM should likely be removed, so should Prawit, who is an aging dinosaur and who has caused untold problems for the country over the past decade or so.

One can only imagine how drunk this guy must have been to fall to the ground and be in such a vulnerable position that his head got run over by a car. It's an absolute miracle this guy survived. I wonder if he'll consider cutting down on the drinking once he recovers? And that's assuming he fully recovers, having your head run over by a car could result in all kinds of issues. Kudos did the Bolt driver for being man enough to stay at the scene, and show responsibility for his actions, even though they appear to be accidental. If the guy's head was right in front of his tires there would have been no way for him to have seen or been aware of the fact that there was a drunk guy that had fallen under his car.

The people will not tolerate these goons much longer. My theory is that the army brass already knows this, and are now forming an escape plan. Hopefully into exile, but far better, into prison. They can fight a few tens of thousands. They cannot possibly beat many millions. And that is what we will see when this army created debacle is over with. They are utterly desperate to hang onto power, and access to the trillions of baht that likely generates for them. Using the LM and sedition laws shows how utterly intolerant of criticism these very small, very weak men are, that they need to hide behind and utilize these laws, to attempt crush the will of the people. The time is coming, when this will no longer be tolerated. Just wait. The army is on it's way out. It could take awhile, and it could get ugly, though it will never get to the hellish level of Burma, as the Thai parents would never, ever permit that kind of genocidal behavior from their sons. You take out one Thai, and you are forever disowned by this family. That is all it would take to bring about mass defections from the army ranks. That would sure be fun to witness. Are the pompous generals going to put themselves into harms way? Never. They do not have it in them, they are cowards.

The Thai army has never been an ally of the people.

Can't handle the possibility that the US is on the decline, the quality of life is dropping, prices are skyrocketing, and very few people seem to be manifesting much in the way of and joy?

I agree but when the government lies to us, as they always do, and they use obscure commodities like magnesium ore to skew the Consumer Price Index, it has no bearing on reality. When you're actually spending time there and going into the supermarkets and buying your normal staples, that's when you have a sense of where inflation really is, and it really is truly in the neighborhood of 20% right now.

Total agreement here. I travel back to the States frequently, a minimum of twice per year and I can tell you for a fact that Americans right now are rather joyless, and lacking in humor, they don't seem to be enjoying their lives very much, they're living, working, eating, and sleeping. Not much of a life, and many of them seem bitter, disenfranchised, disappointed, highly divided, and utterly joyless, no thanks.

I agree with what you said about private hospitals here, but I also feel that I'd rather be in a public hospital in Bangkok than most other hospitals anywhere else in the world, unless I had a great healthcare plan which I don't. So, as someone who's self insured the top public hospitals here work for me very well.

I lived in working India for a long time and I've been there in several occasions before and after, and I love India, and so does my Thai woman. I'd go back there in a nanosecond, it's a fascinating country with a super rich culture. But it's not a destination I would choose as an expat, on any level.

It is no doubt a display of absolute moral bankruptcy on the part of the highly toxic CCP. They just care about the optics. They never have.

Now Sen is denying the leak. He is a pig, and cannot be trusted. Ever. I predict we have seen the last of the army coups. The biggest element is the total loss of moral authority. Next, Thai parents would not tolerate Burmese style violence against Thai people. Won't happen. The days of army rule (dictatorships) are over here. Hopefully the young PM will be dismissed. She was a terrible choice. Somehow her party was deluded into thinking she would appeal to the youth. She is an incompetent imposter. Everyone knows that. The people prefer the PP, but the toxic powers will try not to let it happen. The drama continues.

Yes. Trump is always confused. It is a combination of his extreme dogma, extremely partisan nature, and senility that seems to cause this confusion. He is lost in space. Checked out a long time ago. Which make him an incredibly dangerous man considering the position that he's in. Let us hope the circus goon doesn't start another 20-year war, by using American equipment to invade Iran. Donald Trump entered office vowing to bring a swift end to the wars in Gaza and Ukraine. Five months in, foreign conflicts are now threatening to overshadow Trump's second term as a new war escalates between Israel and Iran and concerns grow that the United States could soon take an active role in fighting Tehran.

They put so much fish sauce, oyster sauce, shrimp paste in addition to dried shrimp, in so many Thai dishes that for anyone suffering from seafood allergies I recommend eating only in vegan restaurants, or avoiding Thailand altogether.

That can be said about anywhere in the world, covid seemed like it was a generational opportunity for people to engage in price gouging, and prices continue to go up in price. In the US I am fairly certain inflation continues to rage at about 20% annually, every time I go back things have gone up 10 to 15% in 6 months or less. So this is not exclusive to Thailand. I do notice that inflation here is less than it is in most other places, and though Thailand has gotten more expensive it's still very reasonable.

Different strokes for different folks I guess, when I travel after a few weeks more than anything I want to be back in Thailand, and when I finally get back here it's it's like a celebration. For me everyday here is a very good day.

I think most people know by now that Trump is the biggest hypocrite to ever occupy the White House, so if he says something expect that he's doing the exact opposite, if he takes a position expect that his belief system is the exact opposite.

I agree the difference is that Tony Soprano was organized, he was smart, and he had the ability to project power in a way that didn't make him look like a circus freak.

Trump is such a goon, his lack of understanding about Putin, Russia and geopolitics is rather stunning. I don't know if a more ignorant, corrupt and compromised man has ever occupied that office of US president.
