Statins: A Vital Consideration for Those Over 70, Study Suggests
I can't "what" myself? Just pointing some additional potential benefits of Statin for any of our senior members in the UK. Might be of some help. -

World’s best hotel: Bangkok’s Mandarin Oriental steals the show
Bangkok’s iconic Mandarin Oriental Hotel has officially snagged the prestigious title of the Best Hotel in Asia and the World, according to The Telegraph’s Hotel Awards. The British media giant, known for its high standards, placed the luxurious Thai retreat at the top of its 2024 list, beating fierce global competition. This award comes after The Telegraph’s hotel and destination experts combed through a staggering 10,000 hotel reviews to determine the crème de la crème. In a glowing review, Lee Cobaj, the head Asia judge, couldn’t contain her admiration. “There is simply nowhere else like it. The Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok, is the most wonderful hotel in the world, and to paraphrase Noël Coward, I am fonder of it than ever.” The lavish property wasn’t the only one making waves in the rankings. Hot on its heels were Europe’s top contender, Ballyfin in Ireland, followed by Ellerman House in South Africa, Hong Kong’s Peninsula Hotel, and Les Prés d’Eugénie in France—all securing coveted spots in the top five. Thailand also enjoyed another moment of glory with Six Senses Yao Noi, a serene hideaway, landing an impressive 21st place in the highly competitive awards, reported Pattaya Mail. In related news, the popular travel booking platform, Agoda, included Thailand among the world’s destinations that tourists cannot get enough of. Other countries at the top of the ranking were Japan and South Korea. Agoda had just released the Return Visitor Ranking on September 5 after surveying travellers who had recently booked their next trip on the platform. The survey suggested that more than half of the respondents visited their favourite places repeatedly. In other news, Maya Bay, located on the idyllic Phi Phi Islands in Krabi province, has been named the 5th-best beach in the world for 2024 by Beach Atlas, a website based in the United Kingdom. This prestigious recognition places Maya Bay at the top of the list not only in Thailand but also as the number one beach across the ASEAN region. by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of MICHELIN Guide Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-09-13 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Phuket Named World’s Most Overcrowded Destination Amid Tourism Boom
Can't speak for Phuket but I would totally dispute Pattaya being number 2 on the list. It's a tourist town and, yes, it's popular, it has lots of tourists, but it's also large and spread out, with a number of different beaches, tourist areas, and tourist attractions, such as Nong Nooch Gardens, in different locales. The tourists aren't all concentrated in one small area so it doesn't feel 'overcrowded' to me. I would certainly rank Venice much higher. It was so overcrowded when we visited it was hard to even walk around--that's not the case with Pattaya. -

Statins: A Vital Consideration for Those Over 70, Study Suggests
I’ll go with this. Statins, or indeed any medicines, might be appropriate for some people under some circumstances. Get the best professional medical advice you can, always consider a second professional medical opinion, always follow up with periodic reviews and check ups. Don’t self medicate. -

Foreign pickup driver flees after crashing into Thai woman in Phuket
I had an accident once (whilst riding a bike) would probably go as far to say I caused it, but the other bike wasn’t paying attention to the road, it’s probably something that happens to you a hundred times a day and you just avoid it, but this woman dropped her bike. The police were on the scene within seconds, I put my hands up and said, I will make things right - the woman’s family turned up and started needlessly shouting and pointing and getting in my face, the police did nothing but to try and extort cash from me on behalf of the woman, three ambulances showed up for a tiny cut. Things got so out of control and I worried for my safety. After the experience I made a decision that should anything happen like this in the future, I perhaps wouldn’t behave like I would in the UK, that I wouldn't immediately stop and admit liability but would possibly assess the situation and maybe flee. I’m not trying to be the guy that says “I wouldn’t stop at an accident” but the whole thing was a mess, it really demonstrated how things can go wrong here within a short time. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
Churchill was a legend. Of course he might have said some non PC things but he was a man of his time, and the man required in that moment. I've been reliably informed that on the day I entered this world, I was his spitting image. So he was not only a great mind.- 1

Any advantages to retirement over marriage visa?
No one is going to look for past posts re visits ongoing. I did just now and the posts are extensive. Here is one cut paste from @Crossy ... "The boys from Pathum Thani came yesterday afternoon (marriage extension, they come every year)." -
