  1. I know of a Chiang Mai girl who died after a brain worm infection. She was misdiagnosed for three months and realistically the infestation had been in her brain for six months before diagnosis. She was put into an induced coma, the worms were killed off but complications killed her. Thais routinely take anti-parasite medicine, usually twice a year. It's available over the counter at pharmacies. Raw prawns are infamous hosts for parasites but undercooked fish is also a problem. There's no shame in asking for the meds, it's not a reflection of your hygiene, it's a reflection of the sometimes dubious foodstuffs that we are presented more than anything.
  2. They'll accept it in return for keeping the Donbass as it will be labelled the Tri-party security act or something stupid like that. And the USA will give Russia a guarantee that UKr forces won't attack. Wait and see, these are the weasel moves of old men after wars. Putin can then crow "no NATO in Ukraine. Weasel moves of old men after the war? Did we Allies not set out to defeat Germany and free Europe during WW2? Then walked away leaving half of Europe behind the Iron Curtain as we judged it wasn't worth charging into the Red Army to free Poland et al?
  3. You are not and never have been a lurker. There are far too many lurkers that suck info from the forum and give absolutely nothing back. That's inexcusable as there are so many subforums that there must be areas of specialist interest for most. You may remember I was active on the General Forum until the ludicrous and inexcusable decision by TV to undermine the second most important forum in expat Thai history. It was a truly abysmal decision and was the beginning of the end. The next worst decision ( actually probably the worst ) was rebranding TV to Asean Now, utterly shocking and self defeating. Not a single person on planet earth thinks to themselves "hey, I'm interested in visiting Thailand, let's use the search term ASEAN!! Wild stuff, truly ignorant of all marketing best practice. Rebrand this place ack to TV and numbers will rise again.
  4. How many of you have started an interesting or informative thread recently? How many of you have started a humorous thread recently? The answer you seek lies within the previous two questions.

  6. Utter filth. Glad to see the Grand Mufti condemn them. And they have played into Trump's hands. This will haunt them for years.
  7. You can't reason with these people. This was and as deliberate.
  8. Look at this image - dear me.
  9. Oh, look - let's line up babies coffins in front of terrorist propaganda
  10. I've made it clear I detested the USSR, and I have a lifetime deep and abiding hatred for Marxism. I am repelled by the actions of the Russian state. My point is simple, which should make it easy for our simpletons to understand. UKr cannot win. I would love a deal to be done which results in them immediately joining NATO as a condition of peace, just to ram it up Putin. But they can't force Russia back to 2022 lines never mind 2014. It's as simple as that.
  11. Aye but according to him "enlightened Europeans" will save the day. He must be drunk.
  12. Do you hear the drumbeats against the hearse? Can you see the cowardly scum riding the hearse like a fairground ride? Pick a side.
  13. The man is off his head. Only the demented left would complain about a President trying to end two wars. And these clowns refuse to accept that when the Allies stood down in Europe we effectively lost half the continent to the communists. It was a price the Allies were willing to pay to end conflict. This new brigade of drivelous clowns cannot explain how Ukraine can win the war from here. They cannot win, all they can hope for is to minimise the damage done by a peace deal. Just the same way as the Allies decided charging into the Russian lines in 1945 wasn't worth it.
  14. You're a nutter if you think fragmented states demilitarize. Did you not see what happened after the Arab Spring? and all the ethnic battles across the globe? Get a grip on yourself.
  15. ....celebrating babies coffins being returned to Israel. Support this, do you?
