A lot of debate has taken place on natural health remedies as opposed to traditionally prescribed medication. There are two distinct opposing schools of thought on the subject and discussion can often get heated. Good natural suggestions have been offered however everybody has a different physiological composition and there is no exact science to it so what may work for some won’t for others. More people are willing to give alternative medicine a try though as the cost of pharmaceuticals continues to increase, some interesting experiences can be read on the board.
Internet woes are affecting Maxnet users in Hua Hin as the provider seems plagued with constant problems. Repetitive page refreshing, inconsistent connections, and email server problems are common and the blame is usually put on the user, not the supplier. Funny that, as it seems a whole bunch of users have the same problem – must be a faulty batch of routers! DNS server problems, whereby the internet provider has trouble resolving web addresses, are very common with Maxnet so a number of solutions have been posted as it looks like assistance from TT&T will be a long time coming.
A scam uncovered at Bangkok airport made the international news and caused quite a stir this week. A British couple were accused of theft from a duty free shop, it works whereby the shop assistant slips an extra item into the bag which is not on the receipt then informs the police who demand outrageous bribes and threaten with jail time. In these hard times everyone is suffering but to bite the hand that feeds you and cause further damage to Thailand’s declining tourism industry is just sheer lunacy. Maybe it’s all part of the strive for “self sufficiency”!
Crime on housing developments is on the rise again, not surprising really as packs of low-paid labourers from up-country are easily eyeing an increasing number of unoccupied properties around Hua Hin. The boys in brown doing anything about break-ins or catching any crooks is about as likely as Michael Jackson making a comeback. The trend would be good news for anybody thinking of setting up a professional security company to replace the lay-about guards that are probably tipping off the thieves for a cut of the loot! Cynical? Not us!
