Parking altercation at Nonthaburi market, two women stabbed
Imagine being on such distanced/poor terms with your neighbouring stall holder that your mere departure from your plot could be attended by such aggression, violence and bloodletting. "Indirect communicators believe that being polite is more important than giving a true response; to avoid hurting another person's self-esteem. Throughout the country, the most important values that Thai people hold to are 'respect', 'self-control' and a 'non-confrontational attitude'. It's beyond just stoicism." https://chailaiorchid.com/blog/thai-culture/ 😆😅🤣 -

Addiction
It definitely needs to be tapered gradually. There sre some medications that can help but I doubt a pharmacist will be aware of them (e.g. clonidone, which is not a pain medications but can help with withdrawal...and sometimes an SSRI Your pain is actually a withdrawal symptom). Needs to be done under medical supervision. Unfortunately although there are (very expensive) private rehab places in Phuket there do not seem to br any psychiatrists specislizing in addiction medecine. And that is what the OP really needs. I can recommend an excellent one in Bangkok. -

Trump and Rogan
WOW ... just wow ... I'm watching it now, and about 1 hr into it, and I almost feel bad, OK, I do feel bad, about wanting him to lose the election, and have 4 more years of high COLAs & back to 35+ THB to the USD. biden/harris administration has been very good, the best, for expats. 20% COLA over 4 yrs, and a ~20% increase on exchange rate, except the last few months. How anyone can watch him talk, then watch her talk, and even consider voting for her is just mind boggling. Embarrassing, that people would be that stupid. No matter who wins, I'll have very missed feelings about it All rational, and what's good for the USA aside .. 2024 ... HARRIS ... 2024 -

This is my America sadly
I just returned from one month in the US. Though I have some greet friends back there, who are leading fulfilling lives, most people are utterly humor less, and seem to be live to work, eat, and sleep. The cost of living has skyrocketed to the point where only those who own their homes, that are paid for, or those earning over $400,000 per year, seem to be in decent shape. It feels like a relatively joy less place, these days. So thrilled to be living here. The quality of life is higher on so many levels. At least for me.- 1

Cost of a beer in Singapore
I remember about/at least 20 years ago a fellow drinker from Pattaya was working in Singapore and had been drinking in Boat Quay (Maggie May?), he was calculating his change from a round of 4 and realised it had come to £20. The barman was watching him and giggling "ha ha you think mistake, think change wrong" he nodded affirmatively and got "ha ha, no, happy hour half price." -

The NY Times endorsed Harris. The Post and the LA Times wanted to endorse Harris but the rich owners vetoed the endorsements. -

Israel has bombed IRAN this night
In the war that Israel is carrying on with support from the USA, different sites in Iran were bombed this night. This post is not aiming to comment on the actions of Israel or their US allies. This post is to point out that the middle east region is now a risky place to fly over even for civilian airlines. We all remember in the past different tragic "mistakes" admitted in the shooting down of civilian aircraft and other tragedies that nobody assumed responsability. I definately would think twice before using any of the popular Middle East Airlines like Emirates, Qatar or Ethiad. -

Thai American lawyer advises that it is illegal for non-Thais to give Thai tax advice
Dan's interviews are paid/sponsorships, so no awkward questions are asked. Usually a waste of time. -
