Belgian man scammed out of 8 million baht by female Thai soldier
The previous relationship with the real-estate lady did not come from Ronald, hence maybe a lie by the ladies connections. That said the whole episode was a scam from start to finish & should be a case for the police or connected authorities. -

Money's gone 100%, instead of chasing the money, cheaper to get someone to collect the debt ... Money or the bag.. -

Seeking Recommendations for Alcohol Rehab Centers in Thailand
I'm going to apologize if this seems harsh. I applaud the OP for wanting to help his friend get sober. But I'm seeing a few red flags in the OP's plan. First, I'm not seeing any indication that the guy himself has indicated a desire to stop, and a willingness to do whatever it takes. Lacking that, it virtually never works. You and his family can't want it bad enough for him. Second, I'm seeing plans to send him somewhere(s) that there are no triggers, like there are back home. That's referred to as the big geographic cure, and not in favorable tones. That place doesn't exist outside of institutions, and sooner or later he's going to have to face the world and make a living. And all the triggers will be there, though they may speak a different language. My suggestion would be for the OP to attend a few local OPEN AA Meetings and talk over the plan with some of the folks you meet, after the meeting. (Though I freely admit that I'm volunteering others that I've never met and from whom I haven't asked permission.) Find the sane ones at the meetings and ask them what they suggest. Keep in mind that the loudest and most evangelical ones may not be the sanest. Hundreds of books have been written on the topic, so a few paragraphs on AN won't cover it. There also may be mountains of background not mentioned in the brief OP. I'd suggest sitting down for a few hours with people who have actually successfully gotten sober. Hang around long enough and they have seen what's worked and what hasn't. I took the oath in the late 1980's and haven't found it necessary to drink since then. So I wish you success. I'm absolutely not against rehab centers, but they aren't always the right solution. FYI, Open AA meetings welcome people who are interested in AA but may not identify as alcoholic. Closed AA meetings are for people who have a desire to stop drinking (and stay stopped). -

Evidence of Covid19 vaccine shedding
No crap. Virus' mutates, some faster and more predictable but can mutate faster than vaccine manufacture. Thats why MRNA vaccines show value and promise as they are tailored rapidly when used properly. My reply about virus mutation was to someone else, not you. But thanks for commenting anyway even though it wasn't needed Your response and your inaccurate statement earlier on the topic you started is a different issue. You started a topic and seem not to completely understand what shedding is and does and how useful a tool it is being able to diagnose various illness that present thru shedding (and there are quite a few).
