Accident Foreign Tourist Fights for Life After Patong Hotel Plunge
Because you don't know how to research information and instead apply oversimplified and dumbed down logic. Also, different studies will establish slightly different figures - thus mathematically comparing the outcome of one study to another is clearly going to give slightly conflicting results, only a flawed mind would look for numerical perfection when attempting to use results from different studies - you have to accept that there are differences and understand the general trends. Its is fact: There is a clear difference in height between the Urban and the Rural Thai's (reasons explained (again) below) there is also an increasing trend in average height over the decades and this is backed up by the ministry of public health projections and other studies. ----------- A baseline study carried out by Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (STOU) was conducted in 2005 and recruited 86,105 adult distance-learning students (aged 15–87 years, median age ~30). Urban vs Rural Height Differences in Thailand Adult Heights by Birth Cohort (1940–1990) A large national study (the Thai Cohort Study, >86,000 adults) analysed secular trends in adult height across birth cohorts. Men (born 1986–1990, now adults): - Urban-born: 172.4 cm - Rural-born: 169.6 cm - Difference: ~2.8 cm Women (born 1986–1990, now adults): - Urban-born: 160.3 cm - Rural-born: 158.5 cm - Difference: ~1.8 cm For the oldest cohorts (1940–1955), the urban–rural differences were much smaller: - Men: 166.9 cm (urban) vs 166.0 cm (rural) (~0.9 cm gap) - Women: 156.5 cm (urban) vs 156.0 cm (rural) (~0.5 cm gap) Secular Height Increases (per decade) Men: - Urban-born: +1.50 cm per decade - Rural-born: +1.01 cm per decade Women: - Urban-born: +1.32 cm per decade - Rural-born: +0.91 cm per decade Why the Gap Exists The widening urban–rural difference reflects cumulative effects: Urban advantages: better nutrition, healthcare, sanitation, parental education, and family wealth. Rural disadvantages: persistent undernutrition, larger family sizes, lower birth weights, and limited access to healthcare. Generational lag: urban populations benefited sooner from Thailand’s rapid development, while rural populations improved more slowly. So in short: the “urban vs rural” difference is a 2–3 cm gap for men and about 2 cm for women among adults born in the late 1980s, whereas older generations had a smaller gap - this is down to the improvements seen (mentioned above) where greater improvement has occurred in rural area.s ----------- There have also been projections carried out by Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health (2021) In March 2021, the Ministry announced that growth charts for children and young adults had been revised upward: The 1995 standard average height at age 19 was 165 cm (men) and 159 cm (women) - across the nation. The revised standard projects average heights to reach 175 cm (men) and 162 cm (women) by around 2026, and even higher by 2036. These are projections, not measured data - but they illustrate positive expectations for future growth trends and this is based on 'improved' nutrition, healthcare, sanitation, parental education, and family wealth across the nation. You can do your own research and find conflicting numbers, nevertheless, if capable, you will find a) an improvement in height over time, and b) a disparity in height between urban and rural Thai's (where such information exists) - and this information contracts your 'off the cuff comment' that "out in the sticks people here are not generally shorter than average in Thailand"... You are wrong and the data shows it. Whether or not this impacts the heights of balcony's I'm not sure - I suspect the builder in cheaper or older buildings placed balconies at whatever height they felt like with little oversight, this may be referenced to their own height and they may have been shorter than average (as someone pointed out), hence a lot of people find the balconies quite short here, particularly in cheaper, older buildings, whereas newer, more modern and higher end buildings and hotels generally meet or exceed what would be considered international standards. So, next time you pull an observation out of your backside to contradict someone - just think about it a little, thats all.... -

‘It doesn’t matter now if they are children’
Let me fill that gap: Do you know Benjamin Mileikowski? try Netanjahu Gal Greenstein? try Gadot David Grün? try Ben-Gurion Golda Mabovitch? try Meir Yitzhak Rubitzov? try Rabin The reason for changing their names was to conceal the past. Zionists gave Hebrew names to people and places to erase 2800 years between the fall of ancient Israel and the birth of modern Israel. Like all successful criminals they are trying to rewrite their past. -

MAGAflakes Apoplectic Over Gov Gavin Newsom Trolling Trump
Don't trust AI without cross-checking Last time I used Copilot, it gave me numbers for 2025 as numbers for 2024, while the sources given were clearly indicating it was about 2025. Shop closures is a heavy trend everywhere, because an increasing share of business goes online. In particular among click and mortar firms who find it difficult to compete on price with pure player. It's not particularly an indicator of economic failure. It must also be balanced by store openings. It's basically about the economy becoming more efficient. -

‘It doesn’t matter now if they are children’
So you have been to Gaza and seen that? Palestinian kids throwing grenades? Any proof. A single pic? It is you who is not telling the truth. Yes Arabs migrated to that area, still many people lived there even after the Romans made it their colony. There is a slight difference between peaceful migration and colonization. As many of us, I migrated to Thailand. Are you saying me and all the other expats are colonizers?? Never saw it like that. Jews left. Some were driven out, some went for greener pastures as Roman taxes were high and Jews good businesspeople. That area was occupied by many empires, nevertheless for more than 1000 years Jews, Christians and Muslims lived next to each other most of the time peacefully. 100 years ago Jews were only 3% of the population. The real <deleted> started when they had nothing better to do than to create an "ETHNO state by Jews for Jews". Just 3 years after the racist third Reich fell. Go figure. And they wonder why they are surrounded by enemies.
