There may be other reasons for younger people developing cancer (possibly the v-word?). But there's no doubt  the major factor in the huge increase in cancer across the board is the lack of early screening and diagnosis. My wife got caught in this paranoia and is now suffering the consequences.

Young people don't usually have cancer and never participate in cancer screenings. 

Cancer is almost unseen in the youth. 

The answer is fairly obvious.

The cause is that they succeeded so well in scaring the s**t out of people that no-one went to hospital for screening or cancer treatment for two years. Guess what, cancer cases are exploding.

This doesn't explain why so many young people have developed cancer in the past year.

Nurse friend claims that there have been a never seen number of young people diagnosed with cancer during the past year. What has changed?

Are they sure that they are dead's from covid and not from an other flu/illness

Some countries used to track if the deceased had other underlying conditions and interestingly, the majority had various comorbidities. 

However, it's inconvenient to make it public as it could raise many interesting questions.

With openinghours for nightclubs to sell alcohol till 4 am, Use of cannabis while driving, no point deduction yet of your driverslicense, and checkpoints without checking....It will be a success

The vast majority of accidents are caused by sober, qualified drivers.

It's just not interesting to put those numbers out. Let's blame booze and marijuana. 

I actually spoke with a friend of missus who happens to be an insurance lady,  and she deals with road accidents and she CLEARLY stated that the vast majority of accidents are caused by sober people who have valid driving licence. 

Ignorance is the problem.

Maybe a study in several provinces without masks should maybe clear that there is no danger anymore, instead of keeping the fear in the public. Masks don't prevent against Covid. And deaths .. people will die everyday, more daily in traffic in Thailand, without that is being solved, HIV and childprotection and useiess murders are more concerning than a few deaths 

Cancer cases are crazy high and the age of cancer patients has gone down a lot this past year. No one cares.  What could be the cause? Probably the anti-vaxxers. ????????????

Would rather get convid yearly than cancer once in life. 

On another note, some Bangokian friends of missus came to visit us

They all got their multiple shots, wear masks religiously, avoid crowded places, bars and admittedly, got convid multiple times even after the magic jabs. 

They still religiously believe in "science" presented by "experts". ????????

I go out multiple times a week visiting packed restaurants, bars, pubs where literally no one wears masks, and they just don't want to drop dead .....????????

It kind of looks like they are tuning on the nasty behavior again, post covid.

bit of a shame, I think. 

a video of you  and your family inside your home, to be kept on some hard drive on the Webb or immigration head office,  how sad is that. 

 

 

Indeed pathetic.

And let me add that the home visit happened on a Saturday morning.

Is this for just marriage extension or retirement also ?

I don't know if other types of extensions are included in this new scheme.

Applied for extension on Nov 7, yet it hasn't been granted yet.

Here’s my little cat I found one day down a side street in Phrom Pong,I left Thailand about a year later but he (Snowy/Hi Ma) was feral anyway and only coming back to the house once a week to say hello!

Not much meat. Won't worth eating it.

Maybe Spain has a Mediterranean climate, whilst Thailand is tropical. Thus the difference?

Anyone who doesn't like a tropical climate maybe should consider that before visiting/staying?

Trying out something for days or weeks may not give you the answers.

For instance, I thought I could tolerate everything and I can get used to things over time. However, it's exactly the opposite.

As years pass by, I feel more and more impatient and intolerant to what my surroundings offer in Thailand. After 10 extensions, that gets funnier year by year, many rainy years, worsening attitude on roads, more mai pen rai, more and more empty promises, I getting to my wit's end. 

To sum up, short time won't give you the real and full picture as problems will present themselves over time.

Yes, but 2010 was the first, and only time, our house has flooded. We had a meter of water in the house for a week. Thankfully the western relief canal is complete and Hat Yai hasn't had a bad flood since.

That flood was the result of poor maintenance of canals. Heads had fallen and got moved to other places. 

You could see that all canals were full of weed, rubbish etc. 

Since then, the new administration has taken decisive actions, and that's why floods stand no chance around Hat Yai.

Had a flight from Bangkok to Hat Yai on the day of that huge flood and wanted to change destination to another airport in the south. However,  according to AirAsia staff, there was no reason to worry as flights could land with no problems at all. I pointed at the TV screen right next to this genius AirAsia staff to show you it was live on TV that Hat Yai was under metres deep water. 

Then she thought she needed to figure out if we had a case for changing destination. 

Lol. 

Just to add more, we paid 2.5k for the flight change to Krabi. Upon enquiring as to why it was expensive, we were told the flight was almost full so tickets were expensive. The reality was that the flight was 30% occupied 

And the last twist was that our original Hat Yai flight was scrapped eventually and AirAsia, as usual, didn't give a ....... to apologize or compensate us somehow.

Edit: added more info

You won't see it, but you can feel it, especially January through to April.

Feel nothing but dead calm 300 days a year and rain, rain as well and also some rain, moreover a bit of a rain and finally, some rain. Clothes won't dry, towels won't dry, mould growing etc.

But I'm glad someone likes it. 

Been monitoring the breeze since your post, yet I couldn't find it.

I may live in a parallel universe.

????

Racism exists everywhere and Thailand ain't no different. 

Finally! Carry on Baht!

Sometimes when we drive around with the missus, we follow cars and I often count the point deductions that should be given to cars driving in front of us. We find that some could accumulate 12 points in a matter of 5 minutes. 

Not sure how this point-based system will be enforced but there is definitely room for it.

I like the weather in Hat Yai, it's never cold and it's never unbearable hot, we always have a good breeze from the coast during the hottest months and evenings can be pleasantly cool. Yes we only have a short dry season, January to April, with February being the best month. Followed by a small wet season from May to September, which varies depending on the strength of the NW monsoon. Finally we get the NE monsoon from October to December, with November being the wettest month and the month we most often get flooding. Personally I like the variety of weather in Hat Yai, and I've been here seventeen years now, I like the monsoon, even though we were flooded out in 2010.

 

Some folks are only happy when they're complaining. 

That breeze I have been looking for for the last 10 years. Couldn't experience here. Dead calm almost every day. 

On another note, I think people have the right to express their opinions and feelings. This attitude of dissing people who we disagree with just shows nobody is better than others. Why do people moan about people who moan about things.... ????????

Mindboggling. This is why the world is becoming an unliveable place. 

Better to exaggerate when it comes to liking something than saying honestly what we observe, experience and feel.

I made a mistake listening to people who had drawn "a fantastic" picture of Thailand but it turned out exactly the opposite of what I have experienced. 

Have a nice day

Down the south the rainy season is literally 10 months long. February seems to be the only rain-free month. Last year it had rained until the middle of Jan.

It sucks. 

There are two seasons down here, the rainy and the less rainy seasons. ???? Temperature is high. Never dips below 24 even at night 

Why not try some probiotics or probiotic-rich foods. Sauerkraut, natural yogurt, kimchi, more veggies .. 

Also I found that quality vitamin D supplements were useful. 

I would also decrease the carbs and add some more fats instead. 

I have had multiple bouts of loose stool during the last few years. Doctors found no reasons (as usual). Had to cure myself which I managed to do. 

Health services are becoming more and more useless. They are like robots working from a script not trying to go out of their way to find causes.

Same here. And I know loads of people who have had no convid jab. 

And most importantly, these are the people who all claim to have had convid with no symptoms or negligible symptoms. Most in missus' family and acquaintances have had no jabs including over 70 and 80 people, and they all laugh at the scaremongering stories that are constantly burped out by media outlets. 

The worst convid stories all come from people who have had multiple jabs. 

Nurse friend has had a terrible convid even though she has got her 4th magic jab. Got stuck at home for over a week struggling to walk and such. 

That's my observation. 

This is a good enough evidence to see things don't add up!

In the meantime cancer cases, autoimmune disorders, still births etc have skyrocketed, and the BLIND won't see it. Too busy queuing for another graphene dose.

Right, the "listen to the experts" slogan.

 

The issue with this rationale is that when the experts express concern or criticism of the pharmaceutical doxa, they are no longer listened to or considered to be experts. 

 

A very accommodating notion of science indeed. You're in with it, you're an expert. You're not in with it, you're a "misinformation spreader".

 

I could give you a whole list of scientists who have more relevant experience in the matter than you, yet you would (conveniently) refuse to read or listen to them and all you would be capable of retorting would be the usual newspeak such as "conspiracy theory", "misinformation" and a few elements of pseudo-psychiatric rhetoric such as "nutters" or "loonies".

 

Preposterous as always but I expected nothing less.

Good one. 

Not saying the "experts" are on whose payroll?? Either pharma or governments. 

If we follow the money, we'll find science ????

An anti-vaxxer is a person who cherry-picks data, and is in denial of the facts, such as an unvaccinated person contracting COVID is 5 or 10 times more likely to occupy an ICU, or suffer the effects of long COVID.

Anti-vaxxers recoil from explaining why the multiple jabs they have had for polio, tetanus, Hep A etc. have not harmed them.

Social media is a haven for nut-jobs who can shriek their beliefs at maximum volume, and support the confirmation biases of one another, while calling sensible people sheeple. O the irony.

Vaccines work, gravity is real, global warming and climate change are facts. Fluoride prevents dental caries. Get used to it.

????

Sheep is sheep can't embellish it anyhow.

People believing in weird chemicals that aren't actually disclosed to the public transparently and sourced in a funny way is strange.

Gravity can't move clouds and apparently bends water. Fluoride does what? Hilarious claims. 

Social media has been brutally censored and if you don't see it, it's weird. 

Cherry pick data? That's exactly the non-peer reviewed convid facts that governments use to enforce ridiculous policies. 

Ask doctors how it all started. 

I'll help you, with an email telling them what their procedure is.
