Sleep is a healer, or is it?
I forgot to mention: Yes I am napping during the day. After eating something, I fall asleep, wether I want it or not. -

Retiring soon? Don't be a 'Left Behind'
Prices in places like Bangkok or Hua Hin are often comparable with those in Europe. Mainly in the shopping malls and for house upgrade or repair services. In fact the worst cheating is in Hua Hin with crooked contractors charging prices close to those in the west, using lower grade materials, unqualified workers, jobs not finished or properly supervised. Hint : if you have construction upgrade to do in your house, check everything, starting with the cement they use as they tend to use the cheaper brands that are crap and not properly mixed. Next never pay anything more then 20% at start, a bit more in the middle and the balance only when the job is done. If you can, have a contract made in Thai with a local lawyer. It may cost a bit, but will avoid far more cheating from a majority of the building contractors in Hua Hin and probably elsewhere. And last of all, never mandate for work to be done when you are not around and watch them closely that they do not steal the surplus of material you have provided. And don't get fooled with the old lie of over quoting the cost of the materials. They will add 4000 to 5000 THB more, in comparison to what is the real cost even in places like Home Pro where the materials will be much cheaper. -

Sleep is a healer, or is it?
a) For the last 5 to 6 years. b) Annual lung function test at the hospital, 2 weeks ago. Blood oxygen saturation a bit less than last year (no problem). c) I inhale 3 pumps of "Spiolto-Respimat" daily. I don't know if steroids are part of it. = Olodaterol/Tiotropium, manufactured by Boehringer/Ingelheim. The medics have no answer. But I am scheduled for a "Heart-Echokardiolagrophie" and a Thorax CT by the end of the month. Scrapping the bottom of the barrel, as the surface offers no clues. -

Chiang Mai burning rice fields
These 60+ levels all over Thailand and around Bangkok are plainly toxic. People do not seem to want to enjoy their retirement for very long in comming to Thailand mainly in the northen parts. The southers parts or the islands are a bit better maybe. -

British Cannabis Smuggler Caught in Major Thai Airport Bust
With all the money involved and the amount of people on the very top of the food chain getting their kickback, small chances that drug trafficking or consumption would ever be wiped out. Just look at the amount of top level deciders or politicians who are junkies themselves, no matter where in the world. That itself will give a scope on how deep the plague has gotten to. -

Thailand Yet to Finalise Policy on Taxing Expats’ Overseas Income
I am not going to give a penny to the local xenophobic greed who never cease to hassle foreigners here in Thailand. Those who can, stay for 179 days only. Move over to other sunny and low cost nations like Portugal or Malta, or elsewhere in Asia. 2 of my neighbours in Hua Hin have already packed since last year and now only stay in Thailand for 4 months. The other lucky countries get their money for the remaining time on the calender year.
