Immigration Thailand Eases Border Rules with Cambodia, Offers Trade Lifeline
I would think it would be a nation's government that handles issues of border control (ie., sovereignty) versus the military. As such the government would direct its military as required to execute the government's border policies. But it seems in Thailand there is a fine line between "government" and "military" wherein the latter takes the lead. -

Opinion Rotten Greetings: The World's Most Unwelcoming Cities According to Seasoned Travellers
Some places are obviously scarry, but I would assume that most of those bad assessments also have to do with the travellers' own attitude and behavior. And also with the lack of understanding of local habits and culture. For example Russians don't look friendly. The main reason is that Russians usually don't smile to people they don't know. Once you've been introduced they can be quite friendly. -

US CDC report shows no link between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism
What a load of monumental humbug. All this nonsense (above) because they can't find a virus. Of course they can't. Pathogenic viruses don't exist. Virologist should be made to walk the log. -

Should I return to the UK - difficult decision!
The tap water is not certified safe to drink anywhere in Thailand.... The tap water is certified safe to drink anywhere in the UK... Realistically, its arguable IF the tap water in the UK is drinkable due to the taste of Chlorine... In both - bottled water or a proper water filter is the best option - but I certainly wouldn't drink tap water habitually in thailand... and yes, there have been 'water-board-mistakes' in the UK that have been heavily reported on with venomous-reaction - but the media do that and people lap it up to confirm their bias. Would such an issue even reach the media in Thailand ??? The realities are: In Thailand: - Water at treatment plants may meet safety standards, especially in big cities like Bangkok. - However, the distribution system (old or poorly maintained pipes and tanks) can re-contaminate the water. - Common risks: bacteria (like E. coli), parasites, sediments, and heavy metals. - Locals and tourists typically boil tap water or drink bottled water. In the UK: - Highly regulated under UK law and EU/UK Water Quality Directives. - Water suppliers are routinely monitored and tested for microorganisms, heavy metals, pesticides, and chemical pollutants. - Advanced filtration, chlorination, and purification systems are standard. - Infrastructure (pipes, storage tanks, etc.) is well-maintained. -

Do You Feel Irrelevant? Why Some Older Members Just Can’t Help Themselves
Unless you are super super rich or a politician in power you are to all intents and purposes irrelevant - except maybe in your own little bubble
