Tourist brawl in Phuket sparks debate on visa policy (video)
Picture courtesy of Speednews ภูเก็ต Facebook by Bright Choomanee A video depicting an altercation between Italian and Indian tourists in Phuket’s Patong area has sparked significant social media discussion. The incident, captured in a 1.04-minute clip shared by the Facebook page Speednews Phuket, occurred yesterday, January 27, at the end of Bangla Road, Kathu district, Phuket. The video shows the tourists engaged in a fierce brawl, surrounded by onlookers comprising both foreigners and Thai nationals. Many bystanders recorded the incident on their mobile phones, with some even cheering the combatants. However, security personnel and other tourists witnessing the altercation stepped in to separate the two parties before the situation could escalate further, eventually leading to both tourists dispersing. Following the video’s circulation online, numerous viewers have expressed concerns regarding the implications of the free visa policy for tourists. Critics argue that while the policy facilitates tourism, it should be accompanied by stringent laws to prevent such incidents from recurring, reported KhaoSod. The sentiment reflects a broader concern that without adequate legal frameworks, similar situations may arise in the future. Fortunately, this particular incident did not result in serious injuries or fatalities. In similar news, a night of partying on Bangla Road turned into chaos when a drunken Russian tourist was hospitalised after a violent altercation with security guards. The incident unfolded at Oscar Bar, Patong on December 18 last year. Police were called to the scene at 11.50pm, where they found 31 year old Russian national Evgenii Kozlov seriously injured after a scuffle with bar security. According to initial reports, Kozlov, heavily intoxicated, climbed onto the stage and began dancing, disrupting the bar’s operations. Security guards, 30 year old Chalermphon Suphannaphon, 28 year old Thammakach Sukho, and 19 year old Watcharaphon Laowong intervened, removing him from the stage. The situation escalated when the Russian man reportedly began acting aggressively towards other patrons, prompting complaints. As the guards attempted to escort him out, a struggle ensued, culminating in a violent brawl. Source: The Thaiger -- 2025-01-28 -

Cayenne Pepper: A Health Powerhouse - what you need to know
Cayenne Pepper: A Health Powerhouse Cayenne pepper, a fiery spice commonly found in kitchens worldwide, has long been celebrated for its culinary versatility and medicinal properties. This article delves into what cayenne pepper is, where to find it, its types, benefits, and potential side effects. What is Cayenne Pepper? Cayenne pepper is a type of chilli pepper belonging to the Capsicum annuum species. Known for its vibrant red color and intense heat, cayenne pepper is often dried and ground into a fine powder. Its spicy flavor is attributed to capsaicin, the active compound responsible for its heat and numerous health benefits. Where to Get Cayenne Pepper Cayenne pepper is widely available in grocery stores, health food shops, and online retailers. You can find it as: Ground Powder: Commonly used as a spice in cooking. Whole Pods: Dried cayenne peppers for grinding or culinary decoration. Capsules and Extracts: Found in health food stores as dietary supplements. Creams: Topical creams infused with capsaicin for pain relief. Types of Cayenne Pepper While cayenne pepper typically refers to the variety with moderate heat levels (30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Heat Units), other chili peppers within the same family may share the "cayenne" label. Variations can include differences in heat intensity and flavor profile. The most common cayenne pepper is the moderately hot variety used in cooking. Supplemental Use Cayenne pepper is available as a supplement in various forms, including capsules and powders, catering to different preferences and health needs: Capsules: These are a convenient way to incorporate cayenne pepper into your routine without dealing with its spicy taste. Capsules are typically standardised to contain a specific amount of capsaicin, ensuring consistent dosage. Powder: Cayenne powder can be mixed into beverages, smoothies, or food. While it offers flexibility, the taste and heat level may be too intense for some individuals. Typical Dosage The appropriate dosage of cayenne pepper varies based on the form and individual tolerance: Capsules: Most supplements recommend 500 mg to 1,000 mg per serving, taken once or twice daily. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consult a healthcare provider for personalised guidance. Powder: When using cayenne powder, a common recommendation is 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per day, which can be gradually increased as tolerance develops. Mixing it with honey or lemon juice can help mitigate the intensity of the spice. Precautions Start with a lower dose to assess your tolerance, especially if you are new to cayenne pepper supplementation. Drinking water may intensify the heat; consuming it with milk or yogurt can help neutralize the burn. Benefits of Cayenne Pepper Cayenne pepper is more than just a spicy addition to meals; it offers several health benefits: Boosts Metabolism: Capsaicin increases thermogenesis, helping the body burn calories more efficiently. Pain Relief: Capsaicin creams can alleviate pain from arthritis, muscle soreness, and nerve conditions. Improves Digestion: Stimulates the production of digestive enzymes and gastric juices, enhancing digestion. Supports Heart Health: May reduce blood pressure and improve circulation by dilating blood vessels. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Helps reduce inflammation in the body, potentially easing chronic conditions. Immune System Support: Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, it helps strengthen the immune system. Detoxification: Acts as a circulatory stimulant, aiding the body in eliminating toxins. Possible Side Effects and Hazards While cayenne pepper offers numerous benefits, it is essential to use it in moderation, as excessive consumption can lead to side effects: Gastrointestinal Issues: Can cause irritation, leading to stomach pain, diarrhea, or heartburn in sensitive individuals. Allergic Reactions: Some people may experience allergic reactions, such as itching or swelling. Skin Irritation: Topical capsaicin creams may cause a burning sensation or redness. Interactions with Medications: Capsaicin can interact with blood-thinning medications and ACE inhibitors, potentially causing adverse effects. Respiratory Irritation: Handling or inhaling cayenne pepper powder can irritate the respiratory tract and eyes. Cayenne pepper is a remarkable spice with both culinary and health-enhancing properties. From boosting metabolism to alleviating pain, it offers a range of benefits when used wisely. However, it is essential to respect its potency and consult a healthcare provider if you have existing health conditions or are on medications. Whether you’re sprinkling it on food, taking it as a supplement, or using it topically, cayenne pepper can be a valuable addition to a healthy lifestyle. -

Has the U.S. Government Been Hiding Alien Technology?
I read recently that there are conspiracy groups promoting their view that aliens occupied already parts in the world and that some leaders of big countries are in reality aliens acting on orders from aliens. Do you think Trump could be one of them if you believe in aliens?
