Tall Buddha Statue At Putthomonthon, Nakhon Pathom

The tall Buddha statue in the above image is situated in the Nakhon Pathom province of Thailand. The imposing Buddha statue is almost 16 meters high and is surrounded by around 400 square meters of gardens and parks. The place is called Putthomonthon and is not very far from Bangkok. If you would like to see this place on your visit to Thailand, keep aside around 3 to 4 hours for the travel and touring of the Putthomonthon park.

The Kaisilver team took a day off to visit the Putthomonthon Lord Buddha statue. The peace and calm of the lawns in the Putthomonthon parks are impressive. Walk towards the center of the park near the tall Buddha statue and you will not hear the vehicles moving in the surrounding streets. The day was cloudy and the clouds formed a spectacular background for the big Buddha statue.

Low Cost Airlines, Safety and Health

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

Just how low cost airlines are able to offer very low airfares remains a mystery. There are a few cost cutting measures put in place like, offering snacks instead of lunches, reducing the onboard staff, offering only plain water and fruit juices instead of hard drinks etc. But, do these cost factors really contribute to a major cost share? Are regular airlines making unfair profits when they charge almost twice as the low cost airlines?

On another note, many low cost airlines are gradually moving beyond their local domestic flying routes and flying to nearyby countries. This could pose a possible health risk to flyers of low cost airlines. Most low cost airlines seem to pack extra seats into an aircraft. This is possibly one way of reducing costs. Sitting in cramped postures for long durations could be one of the major causes of DVT or Deep Vein Thrombosis. This medical condition could be fatal. Another problem is that many low cost airlines rely on old refurbished aircraft, this could pose a technical risk when flying long distances.

These are just a few issues that need to be discussed and debated.

Economy Class Syndrome, What Is It?

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Economy class syndrome is related to a health problem that is supposed to be caused or aggravated, when flying long distances and being seated in the economy class of the plane. Medical research has found that sitting for a long time with little or no movement can, cause blood in the deeper veins to clot. This normally occurs in the leg.

What is dangerous is that these clots sometimes become loose and travel through the various veins of the body. They could cause damage to the heart, lungs or even brain by restricting blood flow to these vital organs. Medically this condition is referred to as DVT or Deep Vein Thrombosis.

The economy class of any flight has the most cramped seating arrangement. Such conditions increases the chances of blod clotting in the legs, this gave the medical condition the name ‘economy class syndrome’. Medical experts have suggested few simple excercises and other habits to reduce or eliminate the chances of being affected by DVT on long haul flights.
