But what about those who were tested and later died

But what about the 1000's in the USA that have already died after taking the covid vaccine?  https://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?EVENTS=on&PAGENO=55&PERPAGE=10&ESORT=&REVERSESORT=&VAX=(COVID19)&VAXTYPES=(COVID-19)&DIED=Yes

I have many friends that have shown interest in buying Thai businesses and properties but they always balk when told they must give up 51% of their investments. 

I also know many who would happily take advantage of this offer if it wasn't temporary, or if it didn't herd them into a subdivision. I doubt any would want to live in a subdivision..  That's probably why they left, to get away from neighbors so close by and find a peaceful setting.... 

Seems's most I've talked to want privacy and their own piece of private land, to build their dream home, then retire.  Few want to worry about having to sell, or rules changing on them a few years out... In America, anyone with the cash can buy any property. There is no prejudice against who can buy.

I have my opinion and i keep it for me.

With you and probably better that way as the masses have been brainwashed and could be in the violent stages:  According to 19th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, “All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident.”

Yay!!  Go Thailand!!  #1 Country on this planet!!  ❤️

Give it a rest please.  Many studies out there say the opposite and The Who has Backtrack on your claim of saying asymptomatic cases are rare.

WHO expert backtracks after saying asymptomatic transmission 'very rare' | World news | The Guardian

Of course they backtracked..  How could they impose control and sell vaccines if they didn't?

I know they say the vaccines distributed in the USA do not protect against spreading, or transmission of Covid.  It also does not protect one from contracting Covid. They say it will only reduce the symptoms of Covid.  I don't know if the vaccine used in Thailand is the same or not...?  

https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/verify/verify-moderna-and-pfizer-vaccines-may-prevent-disease-but-not-infection/65-f65cb7ee-24dc-48d0-bc08-8cfb3423a3b6

Hi is very correct as children rarely even have symptoms.  Nice to see someone using logic in their assessment.  Also, I have recently seen on google searches that there has never been a single "documented" case of an Asymptomatic transmission, meaning if you have no symptoms, you do not spread this virus.  Does anyone know for fact, of documented Asymptomatics spreading Covid?  Even the WHO says it is very rare, if it occurs at all. all..   https://www.bbc.com/news/health-52977940

Now—we have remarkable new information: a respected pro-vaccine medical expert used by the federal government to debunk the vaccine-autism link, says vaccines can cause autism after all.

In my opinion, Suvarnabhumi is heaven, especially compared to the bs everyone goes thru in the USA.  Also seems incredibly clean and efficient to me.  

To further be the desired destination of the whole world, a mindset of oneness needs to be examined.  This means that you must consider treating people equally or as your brothers. 

One such thing is that no foreigner may be allowed to buy a piece of land, or house, without it being majority owned by Thai citizens, usually resulting in them having to (at least theoretically) give up 51% of their investment, and I would guess, often not even knowing who their partners really are.  It also makes them place trust in places that they are not really comfortable or having developed a long term trust.  Relatively, very few Chinese or Westerners will ever invest here with those odds stacked against them like that, as most are very frugal buyers who have worked hard for their wealth.  They won't just squander their savings in this manner and it would bring about a great economic boom, if allowed to purchase real estate in a way similar to a "free market." Thais' will then be more easily capable to capitalize on the sales of their homes and businesses, as it will create and encompass a much more lucrative market.

If farangs do get to buy a house, maybe you could let them cut their own grass, fix something, or paint a wall without the feeling, or threat of being deported, as is what most feel if doing any work, even around their own home.  Thai workers are not so easy to find as Thailand has about the lowest unemployment rate in the world.  Also, farangs quality standard may be a bit different than that of many Thai who feel that functionality is good enough and care little about cosmetics.

Another way to attract Americans and others would be to allow them to leave their countries and to stay or become residents here more easily. Many are tired of endless wars, fluoridated water, GMO tainted foods, mandated vaccines, etc., but really have no alternative to take up residence anywhere easily.  This could attract millions who would love to come and spend money and enjoy all that Thailand has to offer.

Also, some have saved, worked hard and can retire at 30 or 40 years of age.  Why wouldn't you want those types of wealthy entrepreneurs that can afford to stay here now but the Thai system does not allow them too, because they feel they must affix an arbitrary or mandatory age of which you can retire.  If someone has the funds to stay in the Kingdom, why not allow them to stay, hassle free of the age restriction, or having to spend a million baht to get an elite visa?

Another drawback to tourists' is having a luxury tax, or huge taxes on specific imported goods.  This makes those that are wealthy reluctant to come and buy here, for their costs are much higher in this manner, it also brings much bureaucracy into the situation and therefore eliminates the benefit of trying to live in a more reasonable economy, resulting from the escalation of these prices through exorbitant tax rates. Last of all this reduces quality products from arriving.  From construction products, nice motorcycles to Lamborghinis, people don't want to pay 40% or whatever, to enjoy their luxuries.  These higher end products help the image of Thailand, with more modern quality products that can be obtained easily, wealthy people would stay longer and bring quality goods to Thailand. 

Last of all, streamline the immigration processes. Give 90 day visa exemption on arrival, or a tourist visa at the airport, so they don't need to do all this traveling to unliked places, just to stay for a few months and relax.  Relaxation is the goal of most tourists and being burdened with traveling within travels is a pain in the a$$.. 

Also, I think you don't need to make people report their addresses every 90 days, if they haven't even budged.  Have them update their addresses, if need be, when they move or relocate.  otherwise it is just redundancy and excessive paperwork for little or no reason.  

Really want em back?  Then you have to look at what they dislike.  In regard to the ganja and the drug scenario here, quite often when you just drive down the road, it seems you are stopped and need empty out all your pockets and go through the frisk (at least around Phuket).  This happened to me three times on a 15 km. ride a couple weeks ago. You are subjected to tests and asked where you are going and where you have been...  True Freedom really reigns.  Leave people alone and quit hassling them to make a buck, especially if they are doing no harm and just driving down the road.  This is enough to scare people off to not want to return.

First of all, do the research and you will see that the legalization of all drugs helps citizens and economies in so many ways.  Just look deeply at Portugal.  Be on the forefront of things. When users are treated as criminals and caged, they get scared and run off.  By listening to the USA and the UN (without countries doing their own research) the entire world has been destroying lives and locking people into cages for a completely harmless plant, that has never killed a single person. 

People have died from the over-consumption of water, yet no one has ever died from the over-consumption of cannabis.  Yes, it is safer than water. 

Also, many more people die from prescription drugs than from illegal drugs.

Even hemp was outlawed from most countries, by blindly listening to propaganda of other countries. Hemp was discovered to make biodegradable plastics over 80 years ago, as well as countless other environmentally safe products which could greatly help this planet. It yields food, medicine, textiles, fuel, superior paper, concrete and countless other construction materials.

When legalization of all drugs occurs, the nasty drugs like crack, ice, yaba, etc., all disappear. Then, many natural harmless and fun psychedelics become available such as ayahuasca, psilocybin, ibogaine, mescaline, dmt, San Pedro, Peyote, etc.  No one buys the crap drugs when superior quality is introduced, tested and accepted. 

Legalization also takes the horrors and dangers out of the transactions, as people can test their drugs for purity instead of having to hastily put some garbage quickly into their pockets on a back alley. 

People are sick of being caged for trying something to make them relax or feel better, and should have the right to do what they wish to their own bodies, if not harming another. 

In Portugal a user is not treated as a criminal but as a medical challenge.  Legalization also lowers the prices which greatly takes the crime element out of the industry.  No one is going to hit someone over the head for a $5 lb. of ganja (which it would be if treated like basil) but of course when the good stuff trades for $2000.+ a lb. because of risks, heavy taxation, etc., then it greatly changes that scenario.

Trying to control people from delving into their own minds may seem like a good idea, but it will never work as people are always wanting to expand their minds and trying to connect to the divine, through the use of plant medicines.

This is probably way too forward thinking and open mindedness for most, but it really is time to speak up, even if it meets or becomes subject to retaliation by the rigid.  When it is hardest to speak the truth, is when it is needed the most.

But sure would be nice if customers had the opportunity to decide what they wanted

Try 36. 32 won't do it.

There should be no manual construction of exchange rates.  natural free market conditions are the only thing that can value it fairly for the long term.  I myself think the dollar is near worthless and will be surprised if the people will get even 20 baht to the dollar in the next year to come.

If they legalize Airbnb, then Bangkok will become more expensive to live and a gentrified hole. The real heart and character of the city will be driven out by high prices

I would think the opposite would occur.  One is more units will be available which takes supply up, 2nd is more competition also reduces prices, as more free market natural competition keeps things in check.

The place that anyone can post anything.

Yes, posted on FB so you assume it must be a lie.  We all know what they say when people assume and are too scared to research the truth. It has the details of how he acquired it on the page Thai Cannabis Corporation,

There first needs to be products registered for sale/use in Thailand with the Thai FDA, there are not any yet.

Not according to this recent post.  Maybe there have been some very p rompt and recent changes taking place.

For all saying that it is not available yet, yada yada, etc.  My friend (a farang) has already received his medical card and his cannabis here in Thailand.  For the whole story look on the Facebook page "Thai Cannabis Corporation."  I believe it is the most recent post.

Also, I believe they have copies of the application which is needed on Facebook page, Thai Cannabis Project."

You for real? Ever read the list of side effects on a bottle of standard antidepressants and other 'real' medicine?

He must be joking, or truly not up to date on getting informed. 

To all who keep stating how dangerous cannabis is:

People have died from the over consumption of water. Fact! 

No one has ever died from the over consumption of cannabis. Fact! 

Therefore, it is safer than water.

Dude dude dude, none of that exists except for a few rare neurological conditions.

 

Lets be real here, "Medical marijuana" is just a way to justify legalizing it in part of ensure public acceptance, and get some licensing and ssytems set up. It has nothing to do with medicine. Ya smoke it for fun. Its a cure all for nothing except reality

 

Sure e hope your joking or being sarcastic.  Rick Simpson who has directly and indirectly cured 1, 000`s of patients with cancer says, "I'd like to find something it can't cure."
