Travelers Diarrhea Treatment
Cyclospora is a parasite found mostly on fruit and vegetables, which causes diarrhea.
The parasite is more aggressive in patients who were recently ill and have a weak immune system
Trimoxazole Tablets, a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, are the recommended treatment.
This type of diarrhea, also known as travelers diarrhea is very common in Thailand.
All fruit and vegetables need be thoroughly washed before peeling, as to not contaminate the flesh during the peeling process.

Happened a few days ago in Canada
They had been badminton partners in the past (London 2012 Olympics).
That was then. This time they were playing against each other and bad blood was boiling between them.
Early in the game both had been warned following a heated verbal exchange.
Rumor and probably likely, punches started when one player called the other a ladyboy (refering to his ponytail).

Crocodile attacks trainer
Time to consider a change of profession.
I had been to that crock farm some years ago. No incident then. I considered the show as unnecessarily dangerous. Anything to make a buck. The practice should be outlawed in my opinion.

Sakon Nakhon
Wat Pra Tat face lift continues
Outside the lakeside temple entrance.
Fair coming or gone?
Front view Superb!! Rear view Why?
Remnants of time gone by. Renovations pending?
In recent years the temple has been spending some big bucks on renovations.
The inner temple ground is getting new non slip tiles, fresh coats of paint, immaculate gardens. It's all done with donations.
They're obviously not done yet
Really wish they would have an English translation
Donations, as explained to me.
You purchase a large wax coin and write your name on it.

Vegetation if thriving. It's usually all cleared out in time for the royal boat races in October
