??? They are used because they want to perform. As Jack Nicholson said in 'As Good As It Gets', they want to be a better man!

Well if the Thai authorities would go along with it.. I suspect they will not.

Great News, sorry I missed it!

Snakes!

There is supposed to be some collar that goes around to raise it to the new level... heaven forbid that is not done and we and up with a drop to the drains! Two years+ of Covid we had where there was nobody about to do this and it sounds like they waited for peak season!

Currency Exchanges, Cash on some transaction deal. Anyone in business here will receive cash from customers. I was thinking along these lines when recently in a Visa agents, 1000 baht notes all over the place.

Just wondering as Visa details are not on the Embassy websites like they used to be, which I believed was because it has all been shipped to some online facility. In the past many folks would have left Thailand for Penang or Savannakhet to try and get another Tourist Visa there, and carry on living in Thailand... Things were tightening up pre Covid though. Wonder if that is available now.

In some circumstances yes... and it is very difficult to say 'unrelated'.. The symptoms of Delta may well bring on a heart attack as an example, Particularly ailments where one is immune compromised....

Yes, that is the point I am trying to make.... I see all to often people using the phrase 'died with Covid, rather than die from Covid'.... as if Covid is nothing to be concerned about! Or the even more stark comment where they would have died quite soon anyway.. trivializing Covid, and even early demise.

Available from nearby Embassies or only online now?

Heavens, do not suggest he was using weed, that only makes people drive better!

There and a bank are the only places I get mine.

Brilliant, Einstein at work.....

Not to them....... The assistant director thinks the link is sufficient to warrant him recommending people get vaccinated. I understand there can be comorbidities... Like AIDs the actual reason cited for death may rest elsewhere.... but Covid is involved.

Or simply not paying attention and using her phone.

Or a navy in her navel?

And more recently, particularly in the case of ducks, it is now regarded as a bad thing to take your kids to the park to feed them with left over bread.....

Did not seem to be the case with my nephew...

Very presumptive without an autopsy!

What are you banging on about?.... Posters are making more fuss about 71 being referred to as elderly!

Or a good roll?

Tempting, but I will pass!

And why do kids with parents and a home take them... because they can?

And stand a good chance in The Eurovision song contest and a job in the media!

Agents, a well known one once told me, are facilitators. I agree that it can appear obstacles are thrown up now and again to push people towards bypassing regular channels and enlisting an agent. But toeing the line in Thailand would get you nowhere. I feel for those who are older, have disability etc, standing in long lines in the sun and being herded about is just impossible for them..... I suspect immigration would be even more crowded and confused if agents weren't applying some semblance of organization. Remember Chiangmai some years back.. didn't people have to arrive at 5am to stand a chance... and be waiting in a crowd? Without help, many will just risk overstay!
