Re: moshy peas
I remember as a child in the UK, working class mothers produced tasty meals for very little money--imaginative often lengthy cooking methods were used. Oxtail, breast of lamb, scrag end of beef--all requiring hours of preparation and cooking. These skills that have almost been lost and paradoxically...

Re: Bangkok Airport to Hua-Hin
An earlier post said that the minibusses from Vic Mon run until 6pm--they run later than that , I think until 8.
One of the aggravations is the fuel stop, this can take up to half an hour if there is a line-up. But generally takes less than 3 hours including stop.

Re: Phi phi is the pits for some!
The bleeding gums and bleeding beneath the skin has to be due to masssive anti-coagulation, This can occur in several terminal events but rarely so fast acting. It sounds like a toxin of some sort. Stinging by Box jellyfish comes to mind, but this usually starts with intense pain in a few minutes, n...

Re: Gonorhea developing new drug resistance.
I remember when i was a child, if my mother had to get a splinter out or prick a spot--she would take a sewing needle, strike a match and hold the needle in the flame for about 5- 10seconds---very effective sterilising technique.

Re: Gonorhea developing new drug resistance.
Glass syringe and re-useable needles in early 70s--that is very believable. Disposables were coming in then but were not available eveywhere. There is a catch. Disposables are NOT meant to be re-used and are not easy to re-sterilze, ditto disposable needles. In the days of glass syringes, every clin...

Re: Gonorhea developing new drug resistance.
I am not sure who deserves the credit--the girls, the mamasans, the bar owners or public health but it is firmly ingrained into the bar girl culture that condoms are a MUST.
