Has anybody ever done ya ba? What was it like?

A lot of people don't mask up in the park or else they wear a mask but pull it down to breathe. The rules are confusing but the guards don't seem to care either way. I also wish they'd unblock the gazebos so people can sit down.

Was that law really introduced in 1972? I thought it was implemented in 2006 after the first coup. I remember them shutting down morning sales at the grocery store anyway.

Just made one on Saturday. Girlfriend loves it.

Bear in mind, the number of retirement visa holders (sic) fell from 85,000 in 2018 to 35,000 last year. The elite visa program meanwhile has only manged to sell 16,000 elite visa and it can't possibly be covering the costs of administering the program. Basically, all this government is good at is driving out foreigners. It does that very well, however.

Not to mention 90 day reports, TM 30's, loads of paperwork, and the threat of getting banned for a year if you're late filing for your yearly extension.

I feel about the Big Storm much the same way as I do about the Big Leibowitz -- enjoyable but overhyped. I think in both cases you have to be a member of the particular "tribe" being portrayed to appreciate it fully.

So they want rich people to invest in Thailand but they won't give them bank accounts?

Why not gold then? At least it's a store of value.

Did you forget Taksin wanted to close all the bars at 10 p.m.? And implement "entertainment zones."

That's no longer true. In Israel, more than 60 percent of hospitalizations are fully vaxxed and countries with the highest vaccination rates also seem to have the highest case counts (France, Israel, U.S., etc). Interesting to compare Israel and Palestine, for instance. Just about the same level of deaths per capita although Israel is fully vaxxed while Palestine is only about 36 percent. Most of Africa has very low vaccination rates and yet case counts and deaths are relatively low. Clearly, there are many factors at work besides vaccination rates. That doesn't mean you shouldn't get the vaccine but it is an argument against mandates. T

Next prime minister for sure. He has all the right qualifications: arrogance, ignorance, inflated ego, irresponsibility, dishonesty, xenophobia...

Finding out what happened to her and her family is the only thing keeping me watching.

Reacher -- It's on Amazon, 8 episodes. Jack Reacher finally gets a filmed rendition worthy of the books.

Make sure you're not downloadinjg the cam or TS version -- they're usually recordings made by some gamling website.

I had two implants -- total cost implant + crown was 110,000, although I was quoted prices much higher than that at the big, touristy clinics. I didn't have the bone grafts, which kept the cost down. The implants are better than dentures or having two missing teeth and supposedly will last a lifetime if you take care of them. I can eat normally and the face looks normal as well so for me it was worth it.

And tomorrow the big tourist fair beginss at Lumpini Park...

You can't retire in Japan unless you're married to a Japanese. Marriage visas are easy to get but there's no retirement visa program. Plus it's expensive, the Japanese don't like foreigners, and few people speak much English.

Grace was temporarily detained by the police over allegations of visa forgery and marijuana cultivation. All of the visas handled by Thai Visa Centre were then officially checked and validated. Grace went back to work, all charges dropped apparently.

The price of pork at B C Ratchaprasong has gone up from 142 baht a kg to 199 a kg. It went up 10 baht in just the last week. Something isn't right.

And Israel and Rance (91 percent vaccine rate) have some of the highest omicron rates in the world.

Time to put on my boots, the manure is getting deep.

Bumrungrad will do it for 600 baht but you have to go there. Thaivisa Centre will do it online for 500 baht although I don't know the procerss exactly.

Apparently, the purpose of the 20 year strategy is to accomplish as little as possible while making yourself and your cronies as rich as possible. If that's the case, it's succeeding admirably.

I heard people were deliberately getting covid in order to get lump sum payments in the neighborhood of 200,000 baht.
