  1. "Belgian couple"? I thought that they were Thais that had returned from Belgium.
  2. What i don't get is why park like that? The road is wide, doesn't look busy, so absolutely no reason not to park correctly. The only reason that I can think of is that it saves a step or two on the walk to and from the shop!
  3. Registered and applied on Sunday 5th (report due 7th). Email received Wednesday 8th to say that it had been approved. Next due date in March.
  4. The biggest outbreak clusters have been in Bangkok and surrounding provinces. I have never understood how anyone in their right mind can make these decisions.
  5. In my opinion, they should allow the bars to open. Now that more people are vaccinated it's about time that we all realise that covid is not going away any time soon and we have to learn to live with it. The one thing that they should stamp on is loud music. The decibel level in Thai bars is dangerous. People can't talk, they have to scream at each other! When a person has to shout/scream they spread their spittle over a much bigger area than they do if talking in a normal voice.
  6. If it's inaccessible how did they get there to install the lighting and how did hose people get there?
  7. You have misunderstood. The price increase is not the same for all brands and the wholesaler/shop does not know what the new price will be until they actually purchase new stock. So they guess the increase and start charging the guessed new price until they know the new price for sure. Hence the 2 price increases for the OP. They guessed a 5 Baht increase when selling the old stock, but when they purchased new stock, they found that they had guessed wrong and the increase should have been 10 Baht. So they increased the price again. BTW my local shop didn't increase the price until their old stock ran out. It took about 2 weeks.
  8. This usually happens when price increases but either the wholesaler or the shop is selling old stock which should be at the old price. They guess the increase to profit from the old stock. Then when they get new stock, they find that they have guessed wrong and so they increase the price again.
  9. I think that it is important to consider that the UK has one of the highest testing rates in the world. So far, in this pandemic UK has carried out over 318 million tests. Thailand, with a slightly larger population has carried out a total of just over 9 million tests. One has to wonder how many cases would be found in Thailand if testing was carried out to the same scale as the UK! The vast majority in the UK have no symptoms or non-serious, hence there are only 7,000 currently in hospital.
