I've known quite a few people who have died of cancer in our village. They are basically sent home with a bottle of acetaminophen/paracetamol and a hearty "good luck, sucks to be you." Yes, the family cares for them but they don't have access to opiates unless they check into a hospital, and they pretty much can't be checked into a hospital unless they are on the verge of death. So they suffer in agony at home. It's egregious and unconscionable. The attitude of Thai doctors and legislators: "We give you opiates for your terminal cancer, you become addict. Addicts are bad people, so we make sure you not bad person, so no opiates for you. And you probably sell opiates we give you to Thai kids too because you addict and bad person. Must protect Thai kids from bad addicts." These heartless freaks actually think this way as well as discounting a person's terminal agony to "their karma." And the last I heard from Sheryl Thailand ended prescribing fentanyl patches for home use - so now it's "Tylenol" and "good luck, sucks to be you." So there are no options for pain relief at home other than suffering or "checking out" on your own. My wife knows an old Thai women who is looking into ending her life in Switzerland at a euthanasia clinic. $10K and goodbye. And she know she has to do it while she can still board an airplane under her own power. That sucks to have to contemplate euthanasia because there is literally no palliative care or hospices in your country where people profess to be "Compassionate Buddhist." "Compassionate" is doing everything in your power to mitigate pain from a terminal illness. It's a needless horror and the epitome of uncompassionate thinking and behavior on the part of health authorities and "experts." And as for wealthy MPs and other in government? If they come down with terminal cancer? Off to the US or the UK for palliative and hospice care. For the rest of Thailand? "Sucks to be you commoner Thais dying of cancer - here's a bottle of paracetamol, good luck."

Equating Chuwit's terminal cancer diagnosis with Srettha's covid is simply egregious. Chuwit is looking at about a 99.99% chance at suffering painful and debilitating months of suffering prior to dying. Srettha is looking at about 99.99% chance at suffering a few uncomfortable days of rest and then recovery. The comparison completely discounts the seriousness and horror that faces Chuwit. This would have been an opportune time to review, analyze, and discuss the differences in palliative care between Thailand and Western nations like the UK and ask some difficult questions such as, "Why does Thailand's health authorities turn their backs on the suffering of terminally ill Thais dying of cancer?" Why do you think Chuwit opted to live out his days in the UK in Western palliative care facilities and eventually ending his life in a hospice. Oh - and Thailand has no hospices either. None, zero, nada! Chuwit will be well cared for. It may be his karma to contract cancer, but it's also his karma not to suffering his end in Thailand and instead to have the financial means to end his days with palliative care that is beyond the means of most people in Thailand with similar terminal conditions. Anyway, the guy's a character and one who will not soon be forgotten. Prayers 🙏🙏🙏

Turn down the bed in the penthouse remand "prison" hospital. Tony is about to have a relapse.

Ex-Soapy King Chuwit Kamolvisit in Palliative Care Abroad Why? Because there is no such thing as "Palliative Care" here in Thailand.

Peace Conference defined: "a conference where representatives of warring governments or countries sign a treaty to end conflict" - Collins Online Dictionary That sham was not a "peace conference" or even a "peace negotiations." A peace conference is not unilateral action. They include both (or all) aggrieved parties. What the Western hate-fest in Switzerland accomplished was to show virtually all non-aligned nations in the world what a US-led "rules based international order" has in store for them (we make the rules; you follow the rules, and "oh by the way, we're not even going to invite you to participate, but fail to follow the rule and you'll be isolated and punished). So the countries who didn't sign? They see the hypocrisy. They are also probably looking very closely at becoming members of the BRICS-led alliance of independent nations who want to follow an international law-based international order and are probably pretty worried about having a Western-led militarized, global NATO show up on their doorsteps in the future to threaten them into compliance. And if they push back? Then like Russia (and soon China and Iran and DPRK and Venezuela, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Niger, heck most of Africa and Latin America and all the "crappy little countries" outlined in the Ledeen Doctrine) they will be accused of "unprovoked aggression" if they dare to push-back on Western militaries sitting on their borders, setting up blockades, aiming conventional and WMD at them, and issuing sanctions. Yeah - "unprovoked." It's time to create an internationally accepted definition of "unprovoked," as opposed to a Western, unilateral definition of the word. The rest of the world which values its sovereignty, such as Thailand, are starting to wake up, to point out Western aggression and provocations, and to begin making plans to protect their sovereignty by aligning with the BRICS-led organization of independent, sovereign nations. "United we stand, divided we fall."

Well after getting my passport paperwork together, and pictures, and payments it was off to Thai Post to send it all off via EMS. The EMS letter took 4 days to arrive at the US Embassy in Bangkok. Well at least it said it arrive. "Left with security guard - no signature" That gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. So now regarding checking Passport Status. Just a hint - when the page comes back an tells you that you're probably not going to see anything for two weeks, they mean exactly two weeks to the day. So obviously they got my EMS package. From what I gathered "In Process" means they have checked your paperwork, processed the payment to Pay.gov and put it in a diplomatic pouch and set it to the USA. Well - good enough. Once you get "In Process" on the Passport Status page you get a "application locator number" and you can enter your email address and request updates. Now for the wait. My guess given this is the height of passport season in the US, probably the full 8 weeks from the date I sent the EMS. We will see. But? At least it is in the system.

Are you cracking dow on the shops renting motorcycles to tourist who don't have licenses with motorcycle endorsements? Nope? Didn't think so. So this is just a shakedown aimed at tourists.

The WEF and WHO aligned state players are pretty much screaming, "We gonna do it again to you commoners! We promised you another plague and here it comes." Time to buy Moderna stock. Can't beat them, join them.

It must suck to live your life with constant, unending Mysophobia.

Conspiracy Theory defined: Any substantive fact that doesn't fit the "commonly accepted narrative" or the "current status quo" or lies outside The Overton Window, and is promoted by state actors and main-stream media stakeholders alike to benefit both parties in their "Public-Private Partnerships" (government / corporate) at the expense of the commoners and "little people" who are kept in the dark and fed 🐂💩 like the good mushrooms that they are expected to be. However given sufficient amounts of time (years / months / weeks) the facts can no longer be suppressed and those facts finally see the light of day at which point the MSM simply ignores them as they can no longer deny the veracity of the evidence, but they also refuse to acknowledge them either. Well, other than to defame those who were pointing out the realities in the first place - "Conspiracy Theorists!!!" It's a very effective ad-hominid attack among those who are willfully blind and prefer the comfort of the continuity bias of lies and untruths over cold-hard factual information which rips the mask off of the status quo and bends it over a stump. Yeah - Alex Jones is a blow-hard and I can't really stand listening to him - but - a lot of those conspiracy theories he has touted over the years have proven to be conspiracy fact. Like the old saying goes, "You get the most flak when you're directly over the target." "You're a Conspiracy Theorist!!! Ha ha ha Grrrrr!" My experience has been that the people most prone to use that term are generally some of the dullest tacks in the box. The willfully ignorant and people at the low end of the IQ spectrum don't particularly bother me any more than do growling soi dogs.

My last post was 18 hours ago; yours 2 hours ago. Basically I found it on Lazada last night using the screenshot. I was browsing the forum and saw this thread in "Popular" - so here I am - "Oh yeah, my thread, maybe I should check it out <laughs>. But - thanks for the link belatedly. It's the thought that counts! 💯

As many "old men" (such as myself now) told me when I was a kid, "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." And I'm at that time of life were gaming the system to save a few bucks simply doesn't ring true north on my moral compass. So - Lazada it will be when I get around to it - or - simply get off my lazy butt and deal with the Prompt Pay (which I dislike but in this case there ain't no COD as there ain't no shipping). Anyway, where's my Round TUIT?

The seller is Genuine Tech. Found it - same price. Thanks for the screenshot, that provided enough information! https://www.lazada.co.th/products/windows-10-windows-11-home-pro-32-64-bit-1-pc-a-i4980921308-s20992590871.html

Every time you see the word "expert" just substitute the phrase "autocratic technocrats" and you'll be spot on the money. They don't give a rat's bunglio about the will of the people, they only care about amassing and wielding power. These power-freaks model after Orwell's "1984" as opposed to Huxley's "Brave New World." If they followed Huxley paradigm they would let the commoners have their "soma." "The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would basically be a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essentially be a system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, the slaves would love their servitudes." - Aldous Huxley Instead what we have coming is a future where the autocratic technocrats need more prisons but they won't build them as packing cheeky commoners into prison like sardines is part of the new model of urinating on human rights. "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - for ever." - George Orwell

Translated: "Screw the will of the commoners; all power to the autocratic rule of the technocrat elite."

2123. They forgot to roll that zero. TIT. Amazing Thailand.

They are building new factories left and right here in Mueang Lamphun. I find the article a bit "alarmist." Yes, the evolution of any industry is "an evolution." Factories used to look like this: Now they look like this, but this model of manufacturing is changing. Tomorrow? Change or die. And the most likely candidates for folding operations and going bankrupt are Western-base manufacturing corporation whose capitalistic paradigm was to offshore their manufacturing while destroying the domestic manufacturing base. Who is going to survive in the brave new world?

Taken right out of the WEF's talking point: Let the technocrats rule but maintain a patina of "democracy," i.e., let the commoners have the illusion of choice during elections where status-quo-candidates are the only choice on the ballot. If an upstart party threatens to rock the boat? Dissolve the party and throw the parties leaders into prison.

Of course - they represent the disenfranchised Thais including the country's youth and challenge the status quo. This is still a developing country with pockets of third-world so Lawfaretm is still the way to maintain power with force.

We continue ask you for comment until you tell us to make illegal again. Happiness to the peasants people (but we plan to throw you in prison and not Thaksin penthouse prison commoners if you smoke).

Same - I remember the location but not the name. 😉
