While COVID-19 vaccines have been lifesaving, there are studies indicating that a small percentage of individuals may experience heart-related side effects.

 My mother had a stroke and massive bleed on her brain 12 hours after receiving her Moderna bivalent vaccine. Her doctor and the hospital refused to report her death as vaccine-related. I think that 'small percentage' is much larger than the authorities want to admit.

I understand that Cyanide works very quickly as a poison so how did she get all five of them to drink the tea at the same time?

Is this now 100% confirmed that travelers who enter on July 15 will get 60 days visa exempt?

The article says. 'The new visa measures, which are awaiting Cabinet approval, are expected to be a formality, according to Traisulee.' Then it will have to be published in the Royal Gazette

Yeah it's new. They don't want cheap Chinese goods competing with local Thai goods so their solution is to tax it.

Correct. There is no import duty on goods under 1500 baht but they now charge VAT on goods of that amount. China is adversely affecting most countries economy by sending low value goods at below cost value. In the UK I used to buy cables from China that were valued at below one pound and were delivered free. It surely must cost more than £1 to post even a small item from China to the UK

It seems that on this occasion they are not talking about more vaccines.

There is a good reason for that. Many qualified professionals and healthcare workers are calling for the ... mRNA vaccines to be banned until the proper research has been carried out. These vaccines were given an emergency licence during the Covid pandemic but now the risk level has dropped dramatically they should be subject to the same stringent testing that all other vaccines are subject to.

But you know that foreigners have been deported because they wrote things on the internet that were considered  unflattering for Thailand?

 

And of course it would be libel to name the school

Well, although I didn't suggest it I assumed it would be done by his wife. There's no reason to name the school as people will know what school your children go to.

the taxi, initially in the far-right lane, abruptly moved to the middle lane, nearly causing an accident.  When Wicharaphon stopped to question the taxi driver, the taxi accelerated, knocking his bike over.

Seems that Wicharaphon thinks that he, somehow, has the authority to "stop and question" other motorists about their driving!

When I first came here 20 years ago, a long-term resident advised me not to get involved with road rage as a minor incident can quickly get out of hand. He told me Thai men have pent-up aggression that becomes uncontrollable when provoked. The motorbike may have been in the taxi's blind spot, we just don't know. We also don't know what was said by the motorbike rider. There is no excuse for the taxi driver's actions but the motorbike rider did shoot himself in the foot all for the sake of a 'nearly' accident.

You don't need a layer but must flag this up so the netizens will get on your side. The school will not like the online bad publicity and will act publicly so justice can be seen to be done. Try and get one of the child protection charities involved. We've all seen how things suddenly get done once a problem goes off on FB.

The packages at hospitals tend to be poorly designed, and also geared towards Asian health issues (example: relatively high incidence of primary liver cancer  which is rare in Westerners. )

 

At private hospitals, packages are designed with or by the marketing department.  They often include things not recommended by any public health authority and likely to lead to other unnecessary and costly tests (e.g. routine abdominal ultrasounds  which often turn up unimportant cysts on various organs).

 

They also include completely misleading and unreliable tests e.g  "cancer screenings" consisting of bloid markers not suitable for mass screening. Again leading to a lot of  unnecessary other tests.

 

One definitely needs to be proactive in deciding what tests to have.

 

There are reliable websites that will tell you what a person your age should get e.g https://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/webview/#!/

 

But to summarize for you:

 

Routine urinalysis

Blood tests: 

- Hb1Ac

- Lipid panel (HDL  LDL, triglycerides)

- complete Blood Count (CBC)

-  creatnine

- BUN

- liver enzymes (ALT/AST)

- PSA

 

All the above should be available at a lab at reasonable cost. Try to ensure lab is ISO certified.

 

You also need the following  which  are not blood or urine tests  and have to be done at a hospital:

- colonoscopy inless you have already had one in past 10 years. (Allows early detection of colon cancer and removal of pre-cancerous polyps. )

 

And I'd suggest  either an Exercise Stress Test or Echocardiogram plus EKG to assess cardiac function. The first is usually less expensive and will also assess your cardiac fitness. 

 

These 2 things are available separately as packages in many hospitals.  Assuming normal results, they do not need to be done often. Colonoscopy every 10 years. Cardiac screening, if asymptomatic and no risk factors like elevated lipids or diabetes    every 5-10 years  or so.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Excellent advice as usual but I think apolipoprotein B (APO B) needs to be added to the blood test list

I don't think you understand what is meant by excess deaths. Most countries record deaths year by year and a 5-year average is considered the norm but since the Covid pandemic excess deaths, unrelated to Covid, have been running very high against the normal 5-year average and there is no rational explanation. At first, they thought it was caused by lockdown denying people access to health services but that has now been ruled out. As I stated before the only common denominator is the mass vaccination program all these countries carried out on their population.

Not true. I don't have to do it at my office Nakhon Sawan. I think Chang Mai and Jomtien the only two offices that buck the trend.

I pay 250 GBP a month in Bangkok, for a 50 sq/m condo, with a really nice pool and a decent gym (both of which are on the same floor as my condo unit).   My building is a 3 min walk to a BTS stop on the Sukhumvit line, so I can be sitting in D'Ark at Emquartier within 20 mins or less

 

What condo is it?

He will be worse off in a UK jail as a nonce. 

But he'll be on rule 43. He'll be segregated from normal prisoners and will be on a wing with other sexual offenders. A luxury he wouldn't get in Thailand.

This is where the slang word 'nonce' comes from. In UK jails there used to be category A (dangerous or serious offence prisoners) and category B (less dangerous prisoners). Child sex offenders (pedos and child killers etc) were non-categorised. So prisoners had CAT A, CAT B or NON C stamped on their detention notes. Hence the sex offenders were called non-c's which quickly became nonces.

When landing cards were still in use a female IO told my Thai wife and son they had to have an exit card so we duly left the queue then completed the cards and joined another queue. The male IO asked why my wife had landing cards as Thai citizens do not need them. My wife pointed to the female IO and he laughed and said she's jealous that you travel to England with your rich farang husband. Oh, how we laughed!

I suffered pericarditis after my Moderna booster (a known side effect from mRNA vaccines) and now have atrial fibrillation. I've just been to Bangkok for electro-cardioversion in an attempt to fix my now dickie ticker. 🤒

Lethargy can be caused by vitamin B deficiency and is common as we age plus many meds block the uptake of this vitamin. Have your vitamin B levels checked. Injections are available for people with a deficiency.
