If I was offered a job paying  $3,000/day which required residing in Bkk, I'd turn it down.

I have lived in BKK for several years and have no problems...sensitive much?

yes, I am sensitive - physically and in other ways.   Physically, I feel adverse affects from pollution and loud  sounds.   I have often thought that, if the human species were to split again, as it did between Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens, the split would have to do with those who've adapted to big cities and those who didn't.  Those who did, would have to have specialized lungs  for surviving on foul air - not unlike the Ginko tree which, because it survived through volcanic epochs, has toughened up to bad air, and is widely planted in inner cities.    

I'm also sensitive to pollen, dust, MSG, and sprayed chemicals in foods - which is an endemic problem with nearly all foods in Thailand.   Even items marked 'organic' are often not.   Similarly, many restaurants which claim to not use MSG actually do, whether wittingly or not (all their dozens of bottles by the stove have MSG).  

I'll be the 1st to admit that being sensitive to chemicals and loud noises is a stone drag, especially for someone who chooses to reside in Thailand, where environmental considerations are nearly nil.  However, I trudge though and try to make the best of it, tissues and all.  Not surprisingly, I reside in the countryside, which is comparatively better - but there's sure a lot of pollen.

You should live in a bubble sir, perhaps we could split between bubble people, and people. ? no?

What was the result of the Carradine investigation? Any ideas what he was doing,
why he was wearing what he was wearing, was there another person in the room,
etc, etc....

I admire your doggedness, but you may as well start a thread (and why not) titled "Updates on Thai Police investigations".

I guarantee the thread will be one of TV's shortest ever.

David Carradine's Ex-Wife Still Investigating His Death

Tragic actor David Carradine's ex-wife is determined to uncover the truth about the "Kill Bill" star's bizarre 2009 death and she's hoping the information she's beginning to get after releasing her memoirs will offer up major clues. Marina Anderson, who was married to Carradine from 1998 to 2001, refuses to believe her ex died alone, performing a solo sexual act with a shoelace in a Bangkok, Thailand hotel room - and she has been looking for answers ever since the tragedy. But she says Thai authorities, who listed accidental asphyxiation as the cause of death, have seemed reluctant to help and would rather the matter was left alone.

In an upcoming BlogTalkRadio.com interview, she says, "I just didn't believe that he was by himself. I still do not buy that... I didn't want that to be the last memory in the public of him. I just thought that was so wrong. I did my own investigation into his death. I wanted it to turn out right for him and it still hasn't turned out right yet. I made phone calls and I did call the police department and there were anonymous sources in Thailand who did talk to me and gave me incredible pertinent information to the point of them reading the autopsy report to me." "Even now I start shaking because it's incredibly disturbing. My conclusion is I totally believe this was not an accident by himself, that there had to be other people in the room with him.

So she's still chasing the Chinese triads and Thai ninjas conspiracy angle that so many expats were sh*tting the thread up with when this happened. Why is it so hard to believe maybe he was just a dirty old man who screwed up? Autoerotic asphyxiation deaths are pretty common.

It's all about money.  Movies with a man who was murdered by some kind of secret Ninja cult are much more appealing and will make much more money than movies made by a man who died the way he really did.  Like most American women, she's a parasite who wants to live a wealthy life on the royalty payments from her dead husbands movies.  She's also suing the movie company he was working for at the time of his death for not providing enough security.   Only in America!
