Video Thai Paratrooper's Life-Saving Move Amid Mid-Air Chute Failure
I don't think you would have seen moves in that video. The jumpers look to be pretty high up, much higher than the three jumps I made from helicopters, which was at 1200 feet (366 meters) above ground. As someone else posted, you don't mess around with the main chute if it does not deploy because you don't have time to. You immediately go to opening the reserve, grab it, and throw it away from you. -

Report Thaksin to Address International Drug Crimes in Keynote Speech
Picture courtesy of Daily News Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is set to make a significant reappearance on the public stage with a keynote speech tackling international drug crimes. Scheduled for 27th May, Thaksin will present at the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) in Din Daeng, focusing on the theme “Drug Trafficking: Cross-Border Crime Perspectives and the Challenges of Sustainable Solutions.” This announcement follows a period of silence after Thaksin's raised profile in recent court proceedings. Earlier, he was involved in a Supreme Court hearing regarding his time spent in a police hospital. His forthcoming speech aims to address the complex challenges posed by cross-border drug trafficking and explore sustainable methods to combat these issues. Thaksin's speech is part of a broader initiative coinciding with a vital assembly of the task force dedicated to the prevention, suppression, and resolution of drug problems in Thailand. This group, comprising government officials and law enforcement agencies, gathers on the same day to discuss ongoing efforts and refine strategies to enhance their impact against narcotics-related activities. Thaksin is anticipated to discuss the importance of international cooperation and innovative policy-making to curb the rise of drug trafficking. His views are expected to stir considerable interest, given his previous governmental roles and the gravity of the drug-related problems facing the region.

Equality Watchdog: Birth Certificates May Be Requested to Protect Single-Sex Services
Sounds like a thinly veiled pretext for, that is to legally enable, discrimination against a small minority, namely trans individuals who identify as different from biological gender as determined at birth, based on infractions which in reality do not exist. In the case of trans athletes, this (in the US, certainly parallel elsewhere) there are less than a dozen [trans] individuals nationwide out of over 550k total athletes, and yet even there none have competed at an unfair advantage, nor excelled over others owing to a difference in birth determined gender assign. Thus, as with the "bathroom bills" and other culture war hogwash, this is legislation based on a false, imagined narrative, in support of a right-wing political agenda intended purely to divide and exclude rather than addressing actual deficiencies such as is the case, here in the UK, as the gross underfunding and mismanagement of the NHS. -

what sort of Dr to see?
They will provide you with a list of all the preferred providers (sent it to within a day of asking for it) it is quite long. If you call the number on the card they will send it to you or you check your fepblue acct for the list. I filed my daughter's 21 treatments a few months ago (covered an 18 month series of treatments), the Bangkok Nursing Home is a preferred provider but for some reason the previous overseas office that covers Thailand didn't have the right contact so I footed the bills and then got reimbursed. I notice that cost of plan increasing rapidly while cutting some benefits. I have the family plan but daughter will soon be reaching the cutoff age. I myself have never had a claim but keep it for my family. Wife is Thai so can get local insurance cheaply at better benefits but we just keep it for us for now. Read that govt worries about the 72% of coverage and talking about vouchers instead. If you know what hospital you are going to, I can check the list that they gave me but believe it is really pretty inclusive for BKK. Good luck, take care stay safe -
