Editor; Re: Why syphilis? (PM Mailbag Friday, 09 August 2013) – Tests like these violate any basic human rights whatever the laws are in any country. Potential workers have enough ‘red tape’ control as it is. Shame on Thailand in 2013. [1]
Editor; Re: Keeping money in Thai banks for as little time as possible (PM Mailbag Friday 22 May 2015) – Dana, never heard of “online banking”? For a sum of $20 you can electronically transfer any amount large or small. [2]
Editor; Re: Privatize hospital pharmacies (PM Mailbag Friday 29 May 2015) – You seem to forget private hospitals are a business. They have invested billions of $’s in plant and equipment and are there to show a profit for their shareholders. [3]

Editor; Re: Privatize hospital pharmacies (PM Mailbag Friday 29 May 2015) – I agree Bill, with much of what you have to say but, barring privatizing prescription drugs, an audit of pricing and appropriate reductions should be made. [5]

Editor; Re: Privatize hospital pharmacies (PM Mailbag Friday 29 May 2015) – The only bone I would pick with this good suggestion is that hospitals by law are allowed to dispense medications, pharmacies are not.
Editor; Re: Wondering how to deal with Thai banks (PM Mailbag Friday, 29 May 2015) – Of late two commenters have criticised the Thai banking system. Seems they have forgotten the names: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac & Merrill Lynch.
Editor; Re: Why widen beach road … just prohibit all parking on Beach Road (PM Mailbag, Friday, 30 March 2012). That’s the most sensible proposal I’ve heard in a long time.

Editor; Re: What is being done to increase tourist safety? (PM Mailbag Friday, 16 August 2013) – Another example of improving tourist safety would be to stop the Thai vendors speeding along the Beach Rd footpath on their motorbikes.
