Gets you away from bear attacks as well, as long as you're with someone less fit.

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. ????

Farcical... the world knows Thailands handling of asylum seekers or stateless people.

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

Right. Same sort of person as made the headlines today, you mean?

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.

Perp named as ex-cop Pol Cpl Panya Khamrab..

Perhaps attendees could wear yellow vests to make him feel at home here.

Time to put football shirts on the soi dogs.

I used to get Gout, and after a couple of years replaced Celebrex with the much better Voltaren (50 or 75 mg tabs). The Celebrex gave me stomach problems among other side effects.

Voltaren is very effective as an anti-inflammatory with no side effects (for me).

(I got rid of gout for good, by using baking soda and other alkaline foods to bring down Uric acid levels).

Its got nothing to do with politics, as you seem to think!

 Any country just printing vast amounts of money over an extended period raises the infation rate, which really benefits no one!

Isn't the US floating a CBDC (central bank digital currency) later this year? Digitizing the dollar?

Should be erm, interesting.

Um, he got caught.. The 'hit' on this guy wasn't very professional either.

Hey, but vigilante justice is great in Hollywood movies, eh?

I have found the attitude and rudeness of some bank employees here in Thailand to be down right horrible.

The actual bank office buildings are usually elevated to denote status here. Their employees sit with their feet well above head height.

That attitude certainly works its way down.

The dollar is being weaponized to make other countries fail, plain and simple.

Where does it say this was a pro mask argument? It clearly shows that Thais take care of themselves better than the westerners.

They'll wear masks, but not crash helmets..
