I think the red light is mostly respected by cars but not by motor bikes-- well if you are hit you are right outside the ER.

Re: Nip & Tuck

The bags under the eyes operation is VERY commonly done probably more for men than women. It is quite an easy op--no cutting. They go in and suck the pad of fat that has been deposited. The result is not immediate , the skin has to tighten up and adjust.

Re: African's swarming to hua hin?

It is interesting how an inoffensive word can sound so prejudicial. Swarming --it has the image of gangs of people. I note how British people swarm to bars on sat night to watch Rugby or Football.
