"We cannot take a profit here because it is a humanitarian issue for the country," he said.
Other countries are being charged ~$19.50/dose! [2x$19.50=$39; $106-$39= $67]. If $67 is not a profit what is it?

The last few days a lot of tents have been setup for (undoubtedly) Covid in and around Pattaya. But what is their purpose? I only see the people (police and health care workers?) in there looking at their smartphones... No checks or anything.
Smart phone screens are difficult to see in the bright sunlight so the tents are there to provide shade and make it easier to 'surf the net'.

It may also stimulate the number of road deaths so Thailand can reclaim the #1 spot.

charged with offences ranging from illegal entry to contravening the emergency decree to illegal congregation to gambling.

It suggest that Thais and migrants were caught for gambling and only the migrants were detained. This is not true if you read the article it says that nobody was detained for the gambling but that the migrants were all illegal in Thailand.
So its only logical that they are detained. The headline almost makes it out that there were two standards applied.Reread the OP

The school apologises for the incident and is sorry for what happened.
Perhaps it is the parents who should apologise to the school for failure to discipline their children in the home. Too many children, when at home, act with impunity knowing there will be no reprimands regardless of their actions - spoiled brats!

The spacecraft will travel at 11 kilometres per hour to the moon, before slowing to enter lunar orbit at 2kph.
To travel the 384,400 km to the moon at 11 kph will take 4 years - many of the cars on the highways have already attempted flight but at a much greater speed. (Note: They all failed to achieve orbit!)
In theoretical terms, the escape velocity at the surface of Earth is 11.2 km per second (6.96 miles per second). The lunar orbital speed for Apollo 11 was about 1.6 km/sec
I wonder if Minister Anek Laothamatas may have confused the rate of speed? I hope the space ship designers are more astute!

Water pump size.
in The Electrical Forum
A word of advise - use the best quality plumbing and before burying it, or embedding it, perform a 2 hour hydro static pressure test to detect any leaks. Some of the 'plumbers' do very shoddy work and use the cheapest material available. Once a system is embedded as they do here in Thailand repairing a leak becomes a major undertaking! Been there done that!

I use Hitachi pumps (we have 2 homes) and have a 300W and 350W - especially helpful if you plan on watering your lawn, etc.
