He's going to need enough funds in the bank for a retirement visa and then funds for long-term care. There was a case like this in Chiang Mai a few years back. An old lady with Alzheimer being cared for at a special long-term care. She was essentially kicked out of Thailand as her family couldn't afford retirement funds and the cost of long-term care. The family of that old women ended up finding a long-term care home in The Philippines. It seems The PI has more humanitarian visa options than xenophobic Thailand. Now, you'd think that this is exactly what a Medical Visa would be about. It's not.

Neti pot. This model is carried in many pharmacies. Use bottled sterile saline. Look online for instructions. Use it two are three times a day for 5 days and see if you get some relief. It should rinse out the pathogens or allergens in your nose and throat and perhaps will give your body a shot at healing. For those who think this is new-age junk science, mine was prescribed to me by a doctor at BKK Hospital in CM. Consider it traditional medicine based.

Better off going with export versions of Sukhoi aircraft. -
Rotator cuff physical therapist recommendation?
connda replied to ricklev's topic in Health and Medicine
Go to pretty much any hospital's physical therapy clinic. Go a couple of times. Understand the basics and do them at home. You don't need to keep throwing money at it. You can find a lot of information to contribute to your Physical Therapist's recommendations. Once you have the therapy movements, be religious about doing them regularly. Combination of ice and heat. And better get used to the idea that your weight training with that shoulder is going to have to be minimized if not stopped. Mine healed in three year (yeah, that long, plus muscle atrophy, but refused surgery). Do cardio and resistance training that targets muscles not involving the rotator cuff. If it hurt? Stop! Don't do it. If you have excessive amounts of disposable wealth? Then you're in luck. Look into stem cell treatments. From my own research and from anecdotal testimony from people who had it done (Joe Rogan for instance) it works. If you're average Joe Expat, well, it's just gonna take time. And stay away for cortisone as it can do more damage than good. Ironically I damaged my rotator cuff doing daily yoga. See - I didn't follow my own advice that "If it hurts? Stop! Don't do it." I pushed through the pain - that was stupid. Live and learn. Best of luck. -
I believe that Ukraine will succeed where Napoleon and Hitler all failed. They have the Ruskies on the run. The Russians forces are wiped out, they are out of ammo and missiles. Once the ground freezes the Ukrainian army will start it's march to Moscow once they cut through the ethnic Russia militia in the Donbass, recapture Crimea, and deal with the turncoats. It will be a Ukrainian Spring in Moscow.

Sam Bankman-Fried will probably get a few months in a county-club prison in the US. Interesting. The dude had a laptop and was busy (transferring funds from Alameda to various crytpo-mixers to fund his defense?) The (stupid) judge should have recluse him from using a computer as part of his bail. But then, how does the judiciary get it's cut?

Everybody dies. But? He did have a wonderful career that should be celebrated.

Stupid me! I lent a lot of money to a Thai woman.

Thailand Remains Popular Destination for Russian Tourists
connda replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Why don't you Western Expats go down to Phuket and other place, find Russian speaking tourists, and tell them how much you viscerally hate them all? And then? See if they agree. -

I wish the Russian tourists a good time and I hope they enjoy their visit. It all helps the Covid decimated Thai economy. -
Where can I buy quality running shoes other than The Malls?
connda replied to connda's topic in Chiang Mai
I bought shoes one time online. That was a mistake. The only way to get a good fit is to try them on imho. I'll check out the CM store. I didn't know it existed. -
More than 5M Chinese Visitors expected in Thailand next year

Interesting world we live in where you need to get a test to determine that you're sick, otherwise you wouldn't know. ???? -

I'm going to be honest. There is so much fancy-named <deleted> that I have no idea what is real or otherwise. Back in the 60s, I'd just buy an ounce of pot. All of it was good. Actually really good. Occasionally would buy hash if I could find it - most of it excellent. Nowadays? Buy this buy that - extremely expensive - much of what I bought when first legalize was utter <deleted>. Quality control. I really think back in the days of illegal pot quality control was actually better. Who wanted to buy a couple of kilos of <deleted> weed to bust down into 1 oz bags and find out your customers where extremely PO's, armed, and not happy.

Oh goodie. I wonder who long it will take to create a new serf-class of Thais who are restricted to walking and riding bicycles without leaving 5 km from the center of the villages. Only wealthy Thais who can afford the carbon taxes will be allowed a motor vehicle and the luxury of buying their way out of the containment zones. In the meanwhile 80% of average Thai's income will be spent on basically trying to cook food or stay warm in the winter. And if they starve to death (well, except for those who can hunt and gather enough bugs to subsist) - so be it. Gaia has too many useless eaters and the Earth needs to be the playground of the immensely wealthy. What joy. We'll all be living life just like Hitler wanted - a 1000 year Reich where the Rich are Rich and the Poor are simply ****ed. -

Another anti-Chinese racist rant. But anti-Chinese/anti-Russian racism seems to be in vogue nowadays. Lord - at this point seeing New Years 2024 is looking less likely every day. Long Potassium Iodide. Not that it will do much good.
