Hopefully he's got enough saved for his Winter energy bill when he gets back home. 

No where near a good enough reason to end up in jail, even if it's only lock up, in Thailand at 60 years of age. 

There was an Aussie banged up in Pattaya for a similar scam a few years ago. A purse left in a toilet for someone to pick up. Has also been done with iPhones. See it and leave it. It's not yours, why do you want to touch it? Being curious can be expensive. 


 

I've had this saved for a couple of years. It's pretty detailed and I doubt much has changed. Anyway, for what it's worth 

Is Bangkok Really Asia’s Startup Hub? – Navigating The Thailand BOI Process

It's definitely getting hotter each year.  The problem is many people have <deleted> memories. And Cambodia is reportedly even hotter according to a buddy over there. A couple of decent storms in PP over the last couple of weeks, but not as frequent as Bangkok.   

And after a big hot period expect a big wet season. Flotation devices ready. 

 

Just do the normal Indian deal. One pay, four free, and they'll have no more problems than the bar girls do in dealing with cheap Indian tourists. 

Syphilis free has been a requirement for WPs through the One Stop Service Centre for me for at least eight years. But the 10 minutes and Bt100 it takes to get the certificate from my local clinic doesn't include any more than a stethoscope exam to prove I'm still breathing (I guess). 

Personally I wouldn't be concerned. Tell your friend to get his certificate from a local clinic.

I assume you mean the arrival stamp that immigration does when you enter the country. They changed them over a year and a half ago.

 

Hopefully they've also received lessons during the quiet time on how to stamp them side-by-side so that you can get eight stamps to a page like Cambodia or Singapore does rather than (mostly female IOs) bang them in the middle of blank pages similar to India? ???? 
 

Depending on your age and health consider a rescue dog from one of the shelters/ NGOs.

I use Worldometer, but even with 1.35 million cases, the growth is not exponential.  On Monday, in the US, the case numbers are higher, due to some states not reporting during weekends.

 

You would probably agree that Omicron numbers have stabilized in Europe.
 

 

Didn't even bother to look at the link, did you?  

Hans Kluge, the WHO’s Europe director, said the region had recorded more than 7m new cases in the first week of 2022, double the rate a fortnight previously, with more than 1% of the population catching Covid-19 each week in 26 countries.

Sounds pretty exponential to me.

Something is stopping the exponential growth of Omicron in Europe and America. Let's hope that something is also available in Thailand. 

I don't know where you're getting that statement from, but let's stick with the facts. The US reported 1.35 million cases yesterday, a global record. Meanwhile WHO says Omicron could infect 50% of Europeans in next two months.

The newest studies are saying that the saliva tests are showing a positive test before the Nasal swabs as the Omicron variant is showing up in the throat first before moving into the nasal passages.

 

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20211229/Study-suggests-saliva-swabs-may-be-more-suitable-for-omicron-detection.aspx

A team of scientists from South Africa has recently demonstrated that saliva swabs are more effective than mid-turbinate swabs for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based detection of omicron variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

The study is currently available on the medRxiv* preprint server.

Correct. Nasal swabbing often misses Omicron because it has changed addresses. It is no longer binding as efficiently to the ACE2 receptors at the back of the nose. Instead it is largely binding to the epithelial cells at the back of the throat and lining the respiratory tract. Delta is still happy at the back of the nose though so both need to be swabbed. Self conducted tests are about 15% less accurate than those taken by a laboratory technician and about 10% less accurate than those taken by a medical professional. 
 

As Omicron has seen SARS-CoV-2 revert to being airborne transmissible amongst mice, further indicating its laboratory passing origins, I sincerely doubt than a non naturally endemic disease can become endemic. Just more changes ahead to make it more transmissible and virulent in people as it continues to deattenuate back to its highly-chimeric V-1000 form. 

Despite the propaganda, research to date has NOT shown any lasting immunity arising from prior infection and in fact suggests reinfection raises risks of both severe disease and Long Covid.

Pretty heartless, esp in a pandemic. These working-class folks should have been supplied with houses by govt.

Why should they be provided with houses by the government? They're not Khmer, they're Vietnamese who have been bludging there for free and contributing nothing except <deleted> and rubbish into the waterways for 40 years and still continue importing relatives.

Whoever says let them stay and give them free housing cite your own home city as an example where 6-8,000 could just squat on a public facility for 40 years and throw their trash and <deleted> wherever they want. If you wouldn't welcome it in your home city then don't advocate as being good for Cambodia.  

Good. Well overdue. A blight on the riverscape. 6-8,000 people <deleted>ting and throwing their waste and trash into the river everyday. Supposed "boat houses" sitting on concrete piers. illegally and dangerously connected electricity. Sections of the river blocked for fish farms. They weren't there in the French times (Phnom Penh was clean then. The sidewalks were side walks that you could walk along). 20, 30, 40 years of living on the river and taking, contributing nothing. And every year more and more "family" members coming from Vietnam to join them. 
Time to move them on. The place is a putrid <deleted>hole. 

Besides, they can't get the Chinese submarines up the river with all of those obstructions  ???? 

Not enough oil to service  motorbike 

Two weeks in Cambodia for Sinovac. 

No BS about local or foreign. Everyone gets a jab. 

 

Because there's nothing else the Cambodian people need more than another temple. 

It's too early to know the results of mix and match. Trials are still underway. It's too early to nknow what the medium and long term effects of any of the vaccines are.

what about all the mozzies?

 

 

There's no evidence that mozzies can contract SARS-CoV-2. 

Your concern is noted though. ????

Ah, clearly the days are gone when you could tell people they could double their processor speed by melting a mars bar over the CPU in an over and then placing the cooled unit in a freezer to take advantage of "cooling technology similar to that used by SuperComputers" and then laughing out loud when they mailed or phoned you up to ask how to get the Mars bar off of their logic board.
