Not easy to find decent ones in the shops, especially mei tais.  Look up http://www.onelovebabycarriers.com/, run by Cari.  Made in Thailand, supports local/poor workers in manufacturing.   She also has a "sling club" where you can try on different ones.

In Topic: Tampons In Bkk

I use a feminine cup (diva cup) and I have never had issues in public bathrooms with them.  I just roll up a big wad of TP and set it on that.  It's gone with me all over SE Asia and never an issue.  Does have a learning curve.  At $25 every 5 to 10 years... can't beat that!

I refuse to go back to pads/tampons with all of the unsafe chemicals.

The general rule with juicing is "juice the veggies, eat the fruits."  This helps avoid the glycemic issues and the fruit also has the fiber the body needs to clean out the colon as the fast goes on.

All of juicing is a waste of time if you have an inferior juicer.  Get a masticating one, not the kind with the centrifuge.  Centrifuge kind oxidizes the juice (breaks down faster) and doesn't get all of the juice out of the veggie (juice with a bit of pulp makes digestion harder).  The masticating one gets a lot more out of the veggie and saves you money in the long run.  A bit harder to clean, but worth it.

You've gotten some negativity here, but I say go for it, you may be really successful with this attempt.  You never know til you try.

In Topic: Remove Amalgam Fillings

I had mine removed at DC1 Dental on Yenakat Road off of Sathorn.  They used the dental dam and high powered suction.  Did a really good job and no side affects from the removal.  The pricing was decent too.

In Topic: World Urged To Follow Thai Healthcare Model

2012-01-25 11:42:40

WHO says that C-section rates should be no more than 10-15%, even in high risk moms.  Thailand's rates are usually around 70-90+%.

WHO says that babies should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life.  Thailand's rates are a little over 5%, and a little over 1% for Bangkok.

Not a healthcare system that I would care to be in.  And that's just the field of medicine that I am very familiar with.  Who knows about all the other medical fields out there.
