Or a 2,000 Baht fine.?

Seems a tad harsh

I got scammed on the Gillette razor purchase from Lazada, too. Felt like shaving with a broken bottle, and I stopped immediately.???? Also got reamed on a pair of "Hush Puppy" shoes, which were just a pair of <deleted> loafers with "Hush Puppy" insoles.

Given up with Lazada and the likes, tbh, other than a source of cheapo spare parts. I'd rather buy from a walk-in shop.

Assimilate, conglomerate, aggregate, amalgamate... Buy up all and any competition, and then <deleted> your "customers" up the <deleted> Rinse, repeat. ????

Surely a coincidence that "cool" season is kicking in, right now.?

Lower temperatures and humidity. I'm probably due my annual cold anytime now.

Lots of ball bearings?

Good thing that it was only the elephant that touched the wire laid by this feckless <deleted>

If wasn't an elephant, would another electrocuted human even make the news.?

Seems that we could be on the brink of nuclear war, similar to 70 years ago during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

One of the only differences being that back then, the US had a President that opposed the Military-Industrial complex and the bankers that were pushing for regime change to any country daring to defy them. (He of course paid the price for this, 1 year later).

Fast forward seventy years later, and the media are now showing us the well-appointed nuclear bunkers of the elite, and indeed advising people of steps to take during a nuclear attack, <deleted>:

This can only be solved by diplomacy / detente, yet the prevailing narrative is all-out aggression against Russia. Utter madness.

The constant flood of 'yabba' and others that continues to come in from Myanmar could, in my opinion be likened to an act of war with plenty of Thai conspirators involved.

 

Someone said something similar about the fentanyl crisis in the US, it's more of a weapon than a drug.

Exactly. Vast military structures need an enemy, and it's usually their own populace.

Associate professor Dr Seri Suphathit, director of the center for climate change and disaster at Rangsit University said that many areas of Thailand had experienced worse flooding than in 2011.

 

Dr Seri expected Bangkok to experience more long term flooding and even worse rainfall to the tune of 50-70%.

I suppose that as a newly appointed "Director of Climate Change & Disaster", he shouldn't be sounding too optimistic, then? ????

Correct. Cultivate a circle of fat friends.

A stain on the Thai body politic ever since I first moved to Thailand over 20 years ago.

And the rest. His Daddy got Newin started into politics in the rather murky Buriram political arena.

His Dad famously bragged that he had no political enemies in Buriram, as he'd had them all murdered. Lovely little family.

Pretty much. Decent cardio will get you away from most dangerous situations.

Excepting of course stuff like bear attacks. ????

Yep. Their treatment of the Rohingya and Uighur people was particularly callous.

Shooting a dog with a harpoon gun is hardly a concerted effort to keep numbers down, is it?

Just an act of random cruelty, or casual sadism.

I strongly recommend Rutnin Hospital in Bangkok, the cost is not that much more than many of the alternatives but the quality if so much higher and more assured. I've had some really dangerous encounters here with an Ophthalmologist in a private hospital, someone who was supposed to be an expert and a senior person at a university. In this example the doctor substituted a student who used her name whilst she took the afternoon off. Unfortunately, the student missed a torn retina which the so called expert spotted two weeks later during a follow up visit. A second encounter related to the same incident where a doctor wanted to perform extreme laser surgery that was completely unnecessary. When I recounted these stories to Dr Roy at Rutnin he shook his head and said he'd heard similar before.  Be careful.

I'm looking at options now. I have a friend who recommended Rutnin also (he had lens replacement done there).

Thanks for your advice. ????

You are a ripe age for cataracts, just like me, get thee to The Rutnin.

Yep. Just been diagnosed (I'm mid-50's) with a cataract in my left eye. I see floating shapes  / shadows and get halos around bright lights, etc. Will probably need surgery.
