Best Glucometer (blood sugar) in Thailand?
Sure is red! "Far from it" is a bit misleading. Venous and arterial blood are in fact very close to each in the capillaries. https://www.labce.com/spg296242_venous_arterial_and_capillary_blood_specimens.aspx "Capillary Blood Capillary blood is obtained from capillary beds that consist of the smallest veins (venules) and arteries (arterioles) of the circulatory system. The venules and arterioles join together in capillary beds, forming a mixture of venous and arterial blood. The specimen from a dermal puncture will therefore be a mixture of arterial and venous blood along with interstitial and intracellular fluids. Capillary blood is often the specimen of choice for infants, very young children, elderly patients with fragile veins, and severely burned patients. Point-of-care testing is often performed using a capillary blood specimen." So where in the capillary bed does arterial blood change to venous blood?? I've done animal surgery and never seen a black demarcation line. AC1 doesn't use capillary blood for exactly that reason; it is drawn from a vein. Also, venous pressure in the extremities is very low, so without arterial pressure the blood drop would take a much longer time to form than it actually does. You're right, but I'm not wrong. Or, I'm right but you're not wrong. Take your pick. I'm not challenging your authority or experience, but I have some myself, just in a different area I'm guessing. From 1974-1979 I was the principal biomedical electronic engineer on an NIH grant to develop an artificial left ventricular assist device; Dr. Micheal DeBakey was the Principal Investigator. I've patented and published several papers on heart valves and valve testing. I've spent my share of time time in OR and wet lab and performed numerous animal surgeries myself. I have spent many hours with some of the best cardiovascular surgeons in the world and long ago learned that they are not gods with all the answers; nobody is. The human body is a mysterious and tremendously complex thing. I always advocate for patients to be active and informed as possible and to always question their primary care physicians until they understand the issues. -

Where is the best place to buy pork loin for roasting in oven?
I have now given up on trying to get tender chicken breasts here in Thailand. I will try pork. I plan to discard the remaining frozen kilos of chicken breast in my freezers. Just not worth the electricity to roast them. Maybe due to the retailer that I bought from...but I am not sure. I have tried every which way to cook the breasts...and always tough. So, no more of that for me. I am on to pork as a very good alternative. I love roast pork. -

Revenue Department boss calls on tax residents in Thailand to file 2024 returns by March 31
Oh, barf burgers. I've never felt discriminated against. Did I ever have to pay double to enter a Thai national park? Dunno. But if I did, it was well less than entering Yosemite Park in the US. That I pay more than the ordinary Thai citizen -- is kinda like I pay more as a rich American in Medicare premiums, than an ordinary American ('cause I'm richer, as determined by my tax return). Progressive taxation brackets explains the whole social situation. Probably good you're gone. You'd certainly be hard to live next door to, being so paranoid about your existence in Thailand. You started out about Thai taxation, and that you had to pay it. Not sure where you're from -- but, yeah, maybe if from an EU country, you now have to pay someone (Thailand), when otherwise you lived tax free in the world. Welcome to the 21st century -- where your taxes are now in the country whose potholes you now pay to fix. For us Yanks, no change in our total tax picture (more to Thailand, less to the US) -- except for those few living on long term cap gains. Thus, for most Yanks, the new tax situation is a non player. No taxes, no discrimination, no Thai-like irritants. Care to say where you now live? Anyway, glad you're now happy, and were flexible enough to leave Thailand. For many of us here, we're settled in, burned our bridges to home country, and really have no perception of where else to move. Fortunately, for most of us, our worldwide total tax bill situation hasn't changed; we don't worry about paying 200 vice 100 baht to enter a park; and the irritants you mention are well overcome by the hospitality of the Thai people. -

I don't think any of these "elite" tourists are going to Pattaya.
