I would suggest that it is more to do with the fact, that they can't earn of this misfortune, and so take no action. ????

Notwithstanding the effects of air pollution from neighbouring countries, which is severe in itself and seems to be beyond the influence of Thailand, there are also real considerations from the farmers' points of view that have to be taken into account. There are ways to get around this, but it is not so easy. I recommend to everyone that it is worth reading up on what it means to the farmers to stop burning. Regarding sugar cane particularly, the article below explains this well:
When asking local farmers here where I live, why they burn when they are not going to grow anything else after their rice harvest, you get the answer - 'We have always done this.'
They are all pyromaniacs. It's really that simple and so are they. ????

Finger on the pulse as always & and in there quickly to address the issues. Well done all. (Sarcasm)

Line official gambling app, how can i use it? Funeral in village this week many playing Hi- Lo.????
Surely bar girls could be labelled as 'Slot Machines' and are equally illegal. None of them are working at the moment, so should they be investigated as well? ????
Getting a funeral raided! Easy now Colin. ????

Park it in the warehouse where the new Bangkok fire engines are. Or maybe in the Hangar where the blimp is, that doesn't work. Maybe park it beside the aircraft carrier that is too short for jets to take off. Last option - park it in the shed where they keep the useless bomb detectors.
Many options for storage until the tourists never come back. ????

Will they truly require a negative Covid-19 test result of all foreign teachers in the future? I've seen some people talking about it recently.
I haven't left the country for a whole year, as have many other foreigners. To require us to shell out money for a test, or even a free test, would be pretty ridiculous. I'm not sure if I'm gonna be okay with it myself and will try to talk them out of it.Think about it. They want you to get a Covid test and let's say that you are clear. You then get your new work permit and 7 days later, you do catch Covid but show no symtoms.
You continue on with your job.
It is a pointless exercise for those of us that have never left Thailand from the beginning of the pandemic. If you are new and coming in to the country for a job, then sure, a test b4 you come makes sense.
Other than that, it is another barrier put in front of teachers to prevent them from doing their jobs. I will continue to wear a mask in class even when this is all over. For rural areas, where do we go to get this test? How much will it cost? Will they even let me test if I show absolutely no symptoms at all? Probably not and so it goes around & around. ????

I wonder if he will refuse to display the price of the melons, much like he did when he drove his taxi in Pattaya and refused to turn on the meter!
Maybe, he will just pull a price out of the air for his melons depending on the nationality and financial status of his customers.

You sir, are appalling. The British people are in this mess due to your indecision.
And now, the beloved NHS is up to the highest bidder. Disgusting.

CCSA deputy spokeswoman Apisamai Srirangsan said a female driver aged 48 in Tak province showed various Covid symptoms around December 15-16. She was confirmed positive on December 27. She passed away on January 18 after failing to respond to treatment.
This is quite young - any health issues?

OP, you have commented on the one thing that worries me quite a bit. If Mrs P is away with her Mum in the north, I am left here with my two dogs. No doubt if I didn't pitch up at the gym, or the coffee shop (where my friends and I tend to meet up) they would eventually come around to check on me, but that would be way too late in the case of a stroke or heart attack. I keep my phones close, but that may not help if I am incapacitated. My neighbours keep to themselves, as do I, so they would be no help. I too don't know what the answer is, maybe there isn't one. Just keep my fingers crossed I guess.
It calls 3 members of your family, once you press the alarm pendant button. ????

I am not sure if I regard myself as lucky, but a recent MRI told my doctor that I have a rare difference with regards to my brain. In the womb, there is one, shall we call it 'vein' bringing blood to the brain. As we grow in mummy's tummy, this splits into 2 and one side provides the left side with blood, and the other the opposite side.
Mine didn't split, and so now, if I have a stroke, it is bye-bye for me. (15% of the world population have this, I am told) This has given me a kick in the <deleted> regarding exercise, to try to avoid a blot clot that normally causes a stroke. I exercise 6 days a week, and although I am not losing a great deal of weight now ( i did lose about 14-15 kg's initially. my fitness levels have grown. I have a resting heart rate of about 56, and hopefully my fitness can help me to avoid a stroke.
Blood pressure is good, and I try to eat the right food, although the evenings get me, as I get bored and so go to the fridge. ???? Count yourself lucky that you at least got a warning sign - for me, I don't get one - just sleepy bye-bye. ????
