Recommendations on affordable but good Orthopedic Surgeons/Hospitals in BKK or Nonthaburi?
If talking private, "affordable" does not necessarily mean good. There is no reason to assume a Thai public hospital is not "good" when it comes to surgery. The deficit would likely be in having to have ones own caretaker as the post op nursing seems lacking in my wife's mother's experience ( my wife had to sleep under her bed to look after her ). Whole families camped outside the hospital. -

Walz is a 2 term governor, so, by definition, your post is stupid. And you voted for Sarah Palin, so give it a rest. -

White Culture
One thinks that you do not understand what "culture" actually is. It's not the ability to kill people one doesn't like, but a way of uniting a people to live peaceful lives together. -

Is Thailand Value for money
That may apply to holidays, but if not able to afford to live in LOS one is trying to live above one's means. The answer is not to come on here and complain, but to live within one's means, even if that means not eating at Dukes or drinking and smoking and renting women. -

Is Thailand Value for money
For me, Thailand is far better value for money than any western country. It's not even expensive unless one wants to live like a nob, and eat at Dukes, LOL. My hotel room all included was a zillion % better than the only thing I can afford back home for more than I was paying in LOS, which is only slightly above living in my car. -

If anyone thinks the food is the most important thing in their life I pity them. It all ends up looking the same. More to life than restaurants. -

BS. Perhaps you were cheated and overcharged, but most won't be. I generally paid the same as a Thai paid. The exception was national parks and I didn't bother with them, except Samet one time. -

So..... imagine in a bizarre twist that Harris got installed as the President ( unthinkable) and she was then forced to evacuate the office (most probable) and we got stuck with Walz as the commander in chief ... ( Walz is a lumbering slow thinker, unprepared, and doubtlessly panicking in his response.) Is this what the world needs ?think long and hard before opening your pie hole !- 1

To retire "in comfort", fine. What about your children?
LOL. I earned 10 quid a week when I started, equivalent to $20. Board was 4 quid, so that left me 6 quid to live on. Had I gone without any of the pleasures of life, I might have saved 3 quid a week. How much would my $312 have become if I "invested" it back then? While youths earn more in devalued money today, the same will apply to them in 50 years time. The best investment I made was in buying a house and land- it more than doubled in value in 5 years, but the worst thing I ever did was being with a bad woman who got it all. She did fine for sod all input. So, my advice is forget about the cunning investment strategies devised by bankers to part us from as much of our money as they can, and buy property, but never never never get involved with a woman unless with an iron clad pre nup that leaves them with none of it when the divorce happens. -

Tim Walz's Verbal Missteps Stir Concerns Amid Tight Campaign
Tim Walz, Minnesota's plain-speaking governor and Kamala Harris' running mate, is grappling with a growing number of public misstatements that could potentially harm their tight race against Donald Trump and JD Vance. Known for his folksy, candid communication style, Walz has found himself repeatedly clarifying or correcting statements about his past, from his military service to personal anecdotes about his family. His campaign has been forced to address these verbal missteps, leading to speculation on whether they may undercut his credibility with voters. Walz's most recent gaffe occurred during a CBS debate, when he was pressed on a claim about being in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. Walz had previously stated that he was in Hong Kong during the protests in Beijing. When confronted during the debate, Walz awkwardly admitted, "I got there that summer," adding, "I’m a knucklehead at times," before conceding he had "misspoke." A day later, he sought to clarify the situation further, saying, "Yeah, look, I have my dates wrong. I was in Hong Kong in China in 1989. … I speak like everybody else speaks. I need to be clearer." "I need to be clearer" Walz’s past DUI arrest in Nebraska, which was downplayed in previous campaigns, also resurfaced during Harris' vice presidential vetting process. Harris' team was aware of the arrest and investigated Walz’s behavior since then, including his temperament and drinking habits. Despite these controversies, Walz’s supporters remain steadfast in their admiration for him. Bob Frisby, a 70-year-old resident of Rochester, Minnesota, expressed his trust in the governor, stating, "He’s just honest." However, Republicans have been quick to exploit these moments, drawing attention to his misstatements as a way to undermine his image as an "everyday Midwest guy." Defending her running mate, a spokesperson for the Harris-Walz campaign explained that Walz "speaks like a normal person" and "passionately about issues he cares deeply about," including democracy and gun violence. Meanwhile, Democratic leaders like Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker have urged voters to consider the broader picture, stating, "You can pick and choose the things that you want over somebody’s entire career and call it out," while reminding them that "JD Vance is lying every day."

Melania Trump Praises Donald Trump in Rare TV Interview With Fox
In a rare and candid interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Melania Trump offered a glimpse into her life with former President Donald Trump, while voicing strong support for her husband. The former first lady, typically private, was uncharacteristically open as she discussed Donald Trump’s political journey, their shared experiences, and the current state of the nation. Melania sat down with Hannity, her long-time friend, as part of a promotional tour for her upcoming book, *Melania*. The conversation comes amid renewed public interest in the Trumps, especially as the former president ramps up his campaign for the 2024 presidential race. In the interview, Melania praised her husband’s leadership and spoke about their life in the political spotlight. Dressed in a white suit and black blouse, Melania reflected on the lengthy and often unpredictable nature of politics. “You just need to be in it and enjoy it as much as you can,” she said, stressing the importance of staying focused while also being prepared for unexpected developments. She noted how she remained calm during the tense Election Day of 2020. “That’s maybe my personality,” she shared. “I know on Election Day it’s all in people’s hands, people decide what they want for this country, and it will be again this year on November 5th.” Melania revealed that when Donald first confided in her about his intention to enter politics, she was immediately supportive. “You’re going to win,” she told him, confident in his ability to connect with people. “I saw how people react to him, and his passion for this country,” she explained. “We traveled all around the world, and I saw what the people want. I think the country was ready for a change, they wanted to have somebody that wasn’t in politics all the time.” Reflecting on the current political landscape, Melania noted the deep divisions plaguing the nation. “The world, and especially the United States, is more divided than ever before,” she observed. She emphasized the importance of open dialogue, urging both Republicans and Democrats to listen to one another. “We need to respect our freedom of speech, our individuality,” she said. “It’s troubling... in this country that we are cancelling people that they don’t agree [with] on certain issues.” Throughout the interview, Melania remained steadfast in her defense of her husband. She criticized the media for what she described as biased coverage during his presidency and beyond. “I saw how they treated him, how the media was against him,” she said, arguing that they were intimidated by his strength as a leader. “As soon as he announced that he’s running for the presidency, everything really changed... this will not be very pleasant.” Melania expressed a sense of resilience despite the challenges. “I always said to him, ‘What is next?’ So in one way, you’re not surprised, and every event that happened, I’m thinking, ‘What is next, what are they trying to do?’ And you always fear the worst.” Though she didn’t delve into specific controversies surrounding her husband, her words reflected a loyal partnership and a belief in his vision for the country. This rare interview shed light on Melania Trump’s views and her enduring support for Donald Trump as he navigates both his personal and political battles.
