Airways’ assets stood at 161.2 billion baht, down 23 per cent year-on-year. Total liabilities were 232.5 billion baht, also down 31.2 per cent year-on-year A 70 billion baht deficit yet they still declare a 55 billion baht profit? Creative accounting methinks!

I was about to ask the same. The only concern is that the test result arrive late, so I'd assume a later flight is safer.

Looking at flights from London to Thailand right now. The cheapest option by far is Saudia Airlines. I'll be booking elsewhere!

I've known several people who have had omicron in the UK and Thailand. Yes, a couple have had mild fevers but all seem to have had slightly different symptoms. I had no cough and no fever. But none of them have had any symptons that would require any sort of hospitalisation or even a visit to thee doctor and that's the main issue here, and hopefully one that's being addressed.

I've had a headache, tiredness, sore throat, dry throat, light-headedness and a blocked nose at different times. Can you imagine the cocktail of drugs they'd be providing? The one symptom that doesn't appear to be that prevalent with omicron is a fever, which basically makes all the temperature checks a total waste of time! Nevertheless, this is a step in the right direction.

This article comes a day after the proposition (again) of the internet gateway, The two just don't go together!

Blimey! Phuket and London with the same traffic violation issue! That must be a first!

Since when has this been a factor in Thai big business thinking?

I've known several people in Phuket who have tested positive for covid via lateral flow test and not a single one of them has reported it. Add to this those asymptomatic and mild cases where people haven't been tested then I'm sure that the figures may well be close to that 100,000 already.

Although I'm now in England, I like to keep abreast of what's going on in Phuket as I'll be back sometime. So, what's happened to the Phuket News forum? Last post was last Monday and almost all the headlines relate to the murder of the Canadian/Indian "businessman". Is there really nothing going on? And I also noticed this a couple of weeks ago. There's always something vaguely newsworthy, well by Phuket standards anyway!

If they remove the day five test I'll come to Thailand at Easter. If they don't I won't. And it's not just me. I'm currently self-isolating at home in England as I tested positive yesterday. I hope to be out and about on Wednesday. The likelihood of my catching it again during April is slim, so I'm now prepared to risk the quarantine but I won't be forced into unwanted isolation in the middle of my stay.

Other Governments around the world have supported those who have been out of work due to the pandemic. Most Thais have received <deleted> all from this Government, though of course the.likes of CP have increased their profits massively. There's more to handling a pandemic than just the numbers of infections and deaths and though they may have good, if certainly inaccurate, figures, they've failed abysmally in the other aspects.

The Government should take control and not give power to provincial governors where they seem to have competitions as to who can come up with the most stringent rules, cause even more confusion and close borders unnecessarily..

Therefore only 111 people should be hospitalsed, not the thousands unnecessarily carted off to hspital or hospitel with symptoms no worse than a common cold!

members of the Bhumjai Thai Party, a steadfast coalition ally, was boycotting cabinet meetings to protest the rise of commuter prices What's wrong? Are they really concerned about a couple of baht rise on the BTS? Or is it a typo that should read consumer?

Insurers aren't hanging around. I already have an email from Pacific Cross with the new rules attached. AXA will certainly follow suit. As for foreign-issued travel policies, they are unlikely ever to have covered this anyway. Can I put a positive spin on this? Could this be a sign that the Government are looking to change the riduculous hospitiltalisation/hospitelisation rules?

The Prime Minister then ordered the government to create a public understanding that people could all live with Covid-19 safely under strict preventive measures. In other words normality is a long way off.

I wonder why he kept 500 of the 5000 Euros? Perhaps he was using some intelligence and using different exchange places and only changing a small amount at a time to avoid suspicion. Maybe that's how he was caught; details of this are somewhat sparse. But credit to the Thai police for actually catching this guy.

The biggest problem is the fact that people pass their tests without a clue how to drive on the roads. If you pick up good habits during the training period they (mainly) remain with you. If you just go straight onto the road then these habits are never instilled.

There are very few Thai Universities where the alumni could be perceived as "well-educated", hence the reason those that can afford it send their kids overseas and graduates with Thai bachelors degrees end up working in Homepro or 7-Eleven.

Your money, and all the other unrefunded amounts, has helped make up that so-called 51 billion baht profit!

Any news on haw many applications in the three days after February 1st? My guess is that no news is bad news on that front.

Well, I'd better be hiding from the police next time I enter Thailand. I have three boxes of fifty masks in my cupboard, smuggled out of Thailand six months ago! Gentlefolk of AseanNow, please don't report me!

Proper training. A trip around an obstacle course is not the way to award a driving licence. The problem is in a country riddled with corruption a licence could still quite easily be bought.

Is there such a thing as clear and accurate information in Thailand? I'm not sure there is. Same in the UK, where the PM doesn't even understand his own rules. Back to Thailand and I always recommend AseanNow/Thaivisa for the best info though I will give a shout-out to Richard Barrow who tries very hard to provide good advice. As for Thai Government sites.......need I say more?
