  1. Sadly I think so too I am imagine a new tougher reinstated version of TM30 soon ????
  2. All that cop saw was 200 baht trying to float past So forget safety Forget your post directing traffic Go get that Baht
  3. Yes agree Govt pooched it when they early on were declining many vac offers But about families returning upcountry with covid it will not be because of fully vac'ed tourists as Phuket Sandbox showed Less than 1% were tourist infections Mainly all were Thai's coming back to work infecting each other For better or worse Covid has been strong & spreading since 2019-2020 in Thailand too regardless of the fairy tales they told. They just never tested till 2021 in any meaningful way. So it is well entrenched throughout Thailand already But again they are looking at the tourists who will be fully vaccinated & worrying.....misplaced worry Instead perhaps they need to get their own house in order before inviting guests over. Although even more so now they will need happy citizens with elections coming so watch how things will change
  4. They need to focus........... Why are they even asking this? Why even worried about testing fully vaccinated arrivals? Did they learn nothing at all from their Phuket Sand box? It was not the arrivals that were spiking the Covid cases it was all the un-vaccinated Thai locals returning to work infecting each other They need to instead focus on increasing their own vaccination rates not worry about fully vaccinated arrivals & how they will test them yet again
  5. Sounds great ....for you On the other hand you may in fact become a prime target if the Thai population descends into chaos due to lack of income, hope etc etc But lastly I do think Thailand should of course first have its own house in order before inviting guests Because as the Sandbox showed it was not the tourist who were getting sick (less than 1%) But instead the locals that all came back to work to service tourists were actually infecting each other
  6. I know right? I mean as a previous owner of a nice condo in Chiang Mai I was surprised by that article too. I just assumed many US citizens owned condos in Thailand as the price was so affordable in comparison
  7. Beats me but gold & more so silver allowed me to retire in 2012 at the ripe old age of 56 No debt, never worked again, so if someone knows what goes where & why they may do just fine thanks ???? It is not about just buying something but understanding the G/S ratio & how to play it That aside again everyone is free to buy what they want & put their money where they want. But to assume something based on your obvious wealth of no idea is a bit embarrassing....for you ???? For those in & hopefully out of cyber coins hopefully you did well & can now leave the casino & retire never again needing to risk/play If not lets hope your cyber coins can keep even half of the strength over decades/centuries that PM's have. I do wish you all luck with your choice.
  8. My wife & I spend 3 months a year at our Thai home We have not been back since December 2019 due to this Covid We personally will not return till it is Open with a capital O Meaning ok vaccination required no prob...done But that is it No 100K USD Covid Insurance ( We already pay $300 for travel insurance...will not pay another 12k baht for 100k USD covid cover) No PCR Testing in Thailand (For fear of being called asymptomatic & hospitalized to drain insurance) No COE (our usual paper work is plenty enough to deal with (My 90 day married visa etc) So if & when that happens we will return if not no problem either as we live in a nice free place & mainly want to return & visit family
  9. That is what these folks say to make weak hands let go the real physical stuff so they can snatch it up ???? Only half kidding if you know JP's history with Silver All that aside it is not even a contest..Precious metals have been money for centuries & will continue after each & every fiat currencies fails. BTW: Every single one has failed eventually & those today standing are just more examples headed that way Bitcoin.... smitcoin...you could have been buying Tulips...same same Sure all pyramids make money for the early arrivals but not one has stood the test of time There is one money it is Gold & Silver There are many currencies
  10. Channel 7 reported on the figures for purchase of real estate (mostly in the condo market) over the last three years. Top five for real estate ownership were the Chinese with 20,796 units, 2,007 Russian, 1,113 UK, 1,110 French and 825 Japanese.
  11. Well if its annoying you could try finding a more secluded spot?
  12. Better take a picture as we will likely never see that said again ????
  13. Instead they should focus on Recovery for all First off since when does any business etc choose their customers? Secondly if by some fantasy only really rich tourists visited Thailand who would that help? Thailand is made up of many classes of people the majority are not going to benefit from only rich tourists Focus Thailand Focus ! Recovery not Fantasy
  14. I think this quote below is the first tip of the Thai wife tripping up Because this is pretty unbelievable to anyone if this is her home village. (where pretty much everyone grew up & knew each other) Add to that it seems quite a few folks claim a possible affair. So for her to now claim she never met or knew him??? ....If what others have said is true police will find many to testify they had been seen together previously/often etc etc So......At this point dear Watson I say the wife is possibly full of it ????
  15. Man with a gun entered another mans house Owner beats him to death...where is the problem? Who cares what dead man's mother claims he may or may not have had cash wise? That he previously "had" 300k baht does not mean a thing in this story. This story is centered around an armed intrusion into another mans home period. Bottom line any intruder found with a gun in my house at night will be found there in the morning (albeit motionless) Side Show: This Thai man was supposedly having an affair with the Swiss mans wife....Now he shows up after midnight with a gun in the Swiss mans house? Guess what the plan actually was at that point? Now dead Thai man's mother makes a claim the dead man had 300k baht & what?? Udon Police visit Swiss man why? They think maybe he set it all up? Had Thai man appear at his home with gun & 300k so Swiss could rob him? Amazing Thailand
  16. First off when is the last time you were actually in the USA? Weeks? Months? Years? Decades?? Because if by "paying attention" you mean soaking up the rhetoric that MSM has become then yes you may have the sensationalized view you seem to have But the truth is there is no such thing here in the US amongst people. Believe it or not we get along fine,,,Black & White...Gay & Straight...Liberals & Conservatives..For the most part.. We are still the melting pot of equal opportunities in this world & do just fine thanks...Do we sometimes have differences...DUH? At least we are allowed to unlike some dictatorships For someone like yourself to start a topic like this .....Well it is akin to someone who never ate at a restaurant for decades then bad mouth it because "you heard" this or that yet have no REAL factual experience with the food Last but not least to start a discriminating post against a whole country & then out of the other side of your mouth say "Careful AVOIDING political debate" Is really the cherry on top of this cake because how could any country arrive at this fantasy civil war you claim if not by political problems
  17. “We Will Not Be Vaccinated Anymore” Says President Of Croatia Zoran Milanovic I & my wife are fully vaccinated here in the US but reading this I tend to agree
  18. 555 As opposed to Thailand? Thailand accepts no vaccinated tourists from anywhere without quarantine! Talk about pot kettle black 555
  19. Yes one would hope that when they start requiring it they also have policies available for all in a range of prices. Although if one looks I see more & more international polices with decent prices for all
  20. I would place a bet in Medical Insurance becoming a requirement of visa extensions Perhaps you saw recent proposals for even the well heeled $$$ ? Their visa had perks but also required medical insurance same as OA They will require Wealthy pensioners to have insurance & you think the common man who has less $$ will not need it? 555 https://www.thaipbsworld.com/government-makes-bold-move-to-woo-wealthy-highly-skilled-foreigners/ All that aside we could call it common sense...It has been coming for awhile now with the many reported cases of foreigners needing hospital services & claiming no $$$ Really started getting legs back when the Graham & Pie guy went for crowd funding to get heart surgery Again even that aside...you think after what the pandemic showed they will not require a form of health insurance for long term extensions? That I would call a dream ????
  21. http://www.gracedentalclinic.com/prices/ You can see prices for root canal, posts etc etc
  22. Maybe doctor meant this? Fat outside of arteries may influence onset of coronary artery disease
