American man faces dilemma as Thai girlfriend’s parents demand 1 million baht dowry
My guess is that he's in his 20s or early 30s (Reddit users). All the parent are going to accomplish is to make their daughter into a bitter spinster. What's her chances of finding a Thai guy whose parents are going to kick in 1 million large for a dowry? Slim to none. I've met a number of Thai Uni grads who are past their prime and essentially unmarriageable unless they find a farang later in life.

Ironically (not), it's the demand for a 1 million THB dowry (which the parents who own a "shipping company" don't need) that is going to cause her abandonment now - not "eventually." "Love for $28,000+." TIT. You can buy a lot of love and affection in Thailand for 1,000,000 THB and never have to deal with anyone's parents. Not that 99% of Reddit users would understand.

The state of your average expat in Thailand.
It must be a blessing when your own ???? doesn't stinks due to your god-like stature among <retch> common expats. Honestly dude, Dubai or Singapore would be a much better fit for you. Ahhh, but then? You could not consistently display your exalted superiority, status, and wealth to the plebs, proles, and unwashed little people who dare to mill around at your feet on an almost daily basis. You da man!

Is FireFox now realy the worst browser ever?
It seems like over the last years or so, every major release seems to break another web application that I use frequently. The last was Lazada where the product pages won't load, just blank space. I'm moving more and more of my stuff over to either Brave or Chromium and slowly giving up Firefox. The only major positive it has is when I use the Linux accessibility widget to zoom the screen in and out, it doesn't effect the size of the Firefox display. If I do that in Brave or Chromium, it zooms the focus of the web page in and out.

Is it worth getting teeth implants at 81?
Dentures methinks.

Is it worth getting teeth implants at 81?
It's rather invasive. How well do you heal at your age? That's the question you'll need to ask yourself as the last thing you want to happen is not healing well, getting an infection, and......that's not a good position to be in at 81. But if you're super healthy, young as spry as a 61 year old, then maybe yes. Ask yourself that question and go with your intuition.

Phuket authorities dismiss concerns over rising Russian population and mafia claims
Want to know why Russians are coming to Thailand. It has nothing to do with 'fleeing the war.' It has everything to do with the entire EU bloc making all Russian persona-non-grata. Currently all countries in the EU bloc are greenlighted to confiscate Russian vehicles and "personal goods." 13. Can Russian nationals temporarily bring personal goods and vehicles listed in Annex XXI and subject to the prohibition in Art. 3i of Council Regulation 833/2014 into the Union, e.g. for touristic travels? Last update: 8 September 2023 "No. Article 3i of Council Regulation 833/2014 prohibits the purchase, import, or transfer, directly or indirectly, of goods as listed in Annex XXI to the Regulation if they originate in Russia or are exported from Russia. This includes motor vehicles (cars) falling under CN code 8703." https://finance.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2023-09/faqs-sanctions-russia-listed-goods_en.pdf This includes a ban on the following items under Annex XXI to the Regulation: https://lexparency.org/eu/32014R0833/ANX_XXI/ So yeah. Expect a whole lot more Russians to visit, here and no doubt other destinations, who no longer are traveling to the EU on business or holidays.

Melatonin no longer available in TH?
That's for the "heads up" as I guess I'll get my iHerb orders in while I still have some on hand. I wonder why there would be a supply issue here in SE Asia?

@Sheryl Are you aware of any changes with the Thai FDA that would cause Lazada and Shopee to drop the product? ????

How interesting. Purchased some about three weeks ago from Lazada. Now. <poof> Gone. iHerb.com is your friend. Their shipments take about a week.

NAC nasal spray in thailand? My friend struggling for long time with Acute rhinosinusitis, doc. cant help
Oxymetazoline may work but is not a long-term solution as there is a "rebound-effect" with this medicine. Do your female friend a favor and pay for her visit to an ENT to get a diagnosis. Short-term, have her try these. Look up "nasal dilators" on Lazada,

Gout- Rheumatoid Arthritis
Colchicine, prednisone, and time. I just had a particularly nasty bout of gout. It felt like my toe joint was broken. Ouch!
