Interesting that I would come across this topic today. My subscription to Express VPN expired and I’m hesitant to renew it after finding out it’s owned by an Israli billionaire. On the other hand it has worked well when I’m in Asia. Does anybody have experience with other VPN’s ? There’s numerous reviews in the internet but it’s difficult to distinguish between a legitimate review and fake reviews or paid advertising.

Key Findings from CHOICE CHOICE tested 20 popular sunscreens labeled SPF 50 or 50+ in an accredited Australian lab. Only 4 out of 20 met or exceeded their claimed SPF ratings . The standout performers were: La Roche-Posay Anthelios Wet Skin SPF 50+ — tested at SPF 72 Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Lotion SPF 50 — tested at SPF 56 Cancer Council Kid Sunscreen 50+ — tested at SPF 52 Mecca Cosmetica To Save Body SPF 50+ Hydrating Sunscreen — tested at SPF 51 The worst performer was Ultra Violette Lean Screen SPF 50+ Mattifying Zinc Skinscreen, which only delivered an SPF of 4, confirmed by repeat testing in Germany (SPF 5) . Other sunscreens widely missed the mark, showing SPF results mostly in the 20s, 30s, and 40s, far below the claimed 50+ .

Thank-you for posting this. Very insightful.

Do the hospitals or EMS get paid to provide these stories to The Thaiger. Maybe the word “discrete” doesn’t translate well to Thai

Thanks for the pics. Too bad it generally not allowed to take photos. Adds so much to the story.

Did you ask the driver at the airport or use the meter? I’ve always paid a flat rate.

Why even bother to engage, especially on Beach Road

Very sad. You never know what’s going on in someone’s head

I was in both places last year. When I go back to Thailand I’ll take a pass on Phuket and find a place in Pattaya with a pool.

Here’s a list of vaccines you can get at the Thai Travel Clinic https://www.thaitravelclinic.com/cost.html

As I started reading this article I thought it sounded reminiscent of David Carradine’s death in Bangkok, however there was no mention of auto-erotic asphyxiation. RIP.

Thanks for posting this. I always thought that the hotel was paid at the same time I paid for a booking. Makes me wonder how much cash flow booking.com generates by deferring payments.
