This is a difficult question. I can tell you that I have both PSP and several versions of the Nintendo DS (the DS,DSi, DSXLand the 3DS) The resolution on the PSP screen is much better, but oddly I never use my PSP even though I have many games for it that I bought at MBK. When I am on vacation I often use my Nintendo DSi. I think because the games are fun and easy to play.
My understanding is that the Nintendo DS by far out sells the PSP.

I think though both are losing ground to android phones and iphone/ipad

In Topic: How Much A Thai Doctor Earn Per Month ?
2012-04-04 12:38:40
I have discussed this issue with a fellow physician who is Thai grew up in Thailand but is a radiologist here in the USA. His father is a successful family practice physician in Bangkok.
His father is encouraging him to return to Thailand. And although his pay will be less. If you take into account US income tax (for him federal 33% + state 9.3%), plus self employed Social Security and Medicare Tax (10.4 + 2.9 percent) = 55.6% tax . And then you factor in the lower cost of living. The actual amount of money left over for many doctors is not much less.
However, for him, since he is a radiologist, he pretty much can only work in a hospital and his income would most certainly decrease very significantly. In this area a radiologist can easily make $250,000 per year and is a very difficult specialty to get. When he was a medical student and worked as a volunteer in Bangkok helping AIDS patients, he was embarrassed to tell the other doctors that he was going to be a radiologist (I assume because it is not considered a desirable specialty).

lol she went to America to work as a 'nanny'. Suuuuuure....
Not exactly an easy position to get, and there are millions of available illegal immigrants in the US to choose from already. She spent half a year unemployed traveling around Asia and within a month was able to secure an au pair position in the US? Doesn't sound likely

I would think that it would be hard to come to the US from Thailand to be a nanny/au pair. But over the last couple years I have meet quite a few young Thai ladies who are indeed employed here in the US as nannies. These are girls of very modest means, so I suspect there is an organization/business that helps them get visas.
In Topic: Testosterone Testing And Injections
2011-06-21 02:02:01
Yours is a very interesting question that I am sure a lot of men think about.
I myself have been tested but I turned out not to be low. If you test not the total testosterone but the free testosterone men of ages 60, 70 and 80 will turn out to be low 40,70 and 90% of the time. So being "low" would actually be "normal"
I am sad to report though. There have be to date 5 good (double blind placebo controlled) studies. But none of studies find that men with low testosterone after they are treated report better quality of life or sexual funtion (by subject survey). They do get more muscle mass (but not more strenght).
I think if the treatment worked better more of us would use testosterone.

In Topic: Where Are The Reasonably Price Ties?
2010-12-02 23:46:47
Ties are a total rip off price wise. But oddly, if I really like a tie (to me) I think it is worth it to get one you really like. Because, for a gentlemen, your tie is one of the few ways you can express your individual tastes when in formal wear.
But to answer your question, there is a very nice small shop that only sell ties on the first floor of MBK. Most of MBK there are two long rows but the place this tie shop is in a "middle" row. They have a very large selection of ties at good prices
