Certainly worrying times for Jews in the UK with Labour in power and Khan as Mayor and therefore in charge of London policing. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-68856360 -

Statins: A Vital Consideration for Those Over 70, Study Suggests
I would tend to agree......the only thing that makes me hesitate is the reported (no link) number of doctors very keen on self-medicating with statins???? What do they (think) know? -

Foreign pickup driver flees after crashing into Thai woman in Phuket
And most probably with a license, stop at any light and thais on bikes cut across you to either U-turn or turn right and then read their phone and miss the change and wonder why I blast them, I want one of those machine gun sounding horns -

GOP Urges Trump to Accept Second Debate with Harris
No need. It was impartial. For normal candidates answering questions normally. Not bringing up extreme issues and comments that begged to be fact checked. If he stuck to the odd exaggeration or an area that was difficult to fact check on the spot he would have been left unscathed by the moderators. But he is lazy, overconfident, and was held to account. -

Thai Hotels Struggle as Mid-Priced Rooms Fail to Attract Tourists
Sorry should have been clearer. We are on vacation and this was the bungalow in resort we rented last night in Wanon Niwat. Even had a larger pool area with slids for the 6yr old. 800 baht/night. -

'Special' (Private) room at Hua Hin Hospital.
Agreed. This is not true for my wife in this point in time. Curious indeed. My wife went to a private clinic in Bangkok for her right eye. 20,000 baht and outpatient without the need for Xray, blood test, and EKG and all the jerking around at the Eye Clinic at Hua Hin Hospital. New management? 6,000 baht + 2 days in a hospital. It is beyond irritating. -

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.- 1
