Eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to keep an healthy weight, many Thais do neither. I've seen them hop on Baht buses to travel walkable distances (200/300 metres) on many occasions.

I drink coffee most days and prefer it to be hot ,not warm or lukewarm, if it's not too my liking then I send it back and tell them it's not hot enough. Of course it does help if you can speak some Thai to emphasize your point. In my experience many coffee places here serve warm tepid coffee, I've made myself a regular at a couple of places where the coffee is nearly always served piping hot so I tend to only use those places.

Public or government hospitals sometimes have higher charges for foreigners. Some years ago I was bitten by a dog so off I went to Pattaya City hospital for a rabies rabies jab, I needed a course of 4 and I was charged around 500 Baht per jab at Pattaya City hospital. I was away in Buriram when my third jab was due so I went to the government hospital there where I was charged the princely sum of 20 Baht. Go figure ,that is some differential between two government hospitals.

Thank God I'll be Hip Hopping out of Pattaya over the Songkran period.

Flew with them to Vietnam and return about 3 years ago pre covid, both flights on time and no issues whatsoever, I would use them again.
