Many Brits are unsympathetic toward Prince Harry !
phetphet replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I saw something the other day that said hid admission of taking cocaine could in theory affect his US visa. I doubt it because of who he is, but you never know. -
Why only now? Are other tourists not deserving of clean ferries?

If the bike is not taxed for three years, the Green Book and registration become invalid. Then you have to start the whole process over again, applying for new green book and new number plates. I only found this out last week because a friend returned for the first time since pre-Covid and his bike has just been sitting there unused in his absence

Thai Ministers Welcome First Groups of Chinese Tourists

Wouldn't it be ironic if one or all those welcoming Ministers caught Covid from those arriving tourists? -

So just enough time to get everyone in for Chinese New Year then. -
What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2023)
phetphet replied to CharlieH's topic in Entertainment
Just started watching the first of three series of Big Sky. Enjoying it so far. Storyteller David E. Kelly ("Big Little Lies") presents a series about private detectives Cassie Dewell and Cody Hoyt, who join forces with Cody's estranged wife and ex-cop, Jenny Hoyt, to search for two sisters who have been kidnapped by a truck driver on a remote highway in Montana. When they discover that these are not the only girls who have disappeared in the area, they must race against the clock to stop the killer before another woman is taken. Based on the series of books by C.J. Box, the series stars Katheryn Winnick, Kylie Bunbury and Ryan Phillippe. -
Thai ministers to welcome first group of Chinese tourists on Monday
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So the Health Minister can take time out of his busy schedule to welcome some Chinese tourists. I hope he wears a face mask. -
Of course the murderer will say that the victim started it, and it was the victim's fault. Are there any witnesses to the supposed original confrontation to confirm what he says? Even if what he says is true, that the old guy sounded his horn and banged on his car. Does that justify taking his life? I suspect he is lying through his teeth to get himself out of the predicament he is now in. Probably sh**ing himself that he might spend a long time in the monkey house.

After the way that China has been treating it's citizens over Covid this last three years, including welding the entrances to tower blocks shut to prevent citizens going out, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these future tourists will be planning a one way trip and applying to stay. Many of them already own apartments here in Thailand and other countries that they previously rented out through Airbnb. So they already have a base One would think that in the interest of safety, the current epidemic racing through the country and the huge numbers infected, China itself would understand the need for other countries to impose certain restrictions on it travelling citizens. Why the outrage?

I too have had one dengue infection. The doctor told me that it will be much worse if I get it a second time. I am thinking about having the dengue vaccination which I hope might prevent or lessen the symptoms of any future infection.

Drinking beer is supposed to attract more mosquitos. There is anecdotal evidence that vitamin B deters them too. So maybe take vitamin pills or try Marmite. But eat it. Don't spread it on your legs. That will just make your bedsheets messy. ???? Long sleeve shirts and trousers sprayed with, or rinsed in permethrin seems to be the way to go.

I was going to say that I am surprised that the government will allow Chinese tourists to return without any restrictions, but this is Thailand, and money rules. If China has it so bad now, what makes Thailand think they can control any spread? PCR certificates and tests? Already been proven to not be 100% effective. I wonder if Songkran will be cancelled this year and the "state of emergency" reinstated around the same time. Two and a half months from Chinese New Year should be enough time for the virus to spread country wide.

Chinese Buyers Bring Back Hope for Thailand’s Condominium Market
phetphet replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Maybe. But the sheer numbers mean there will always be plenty with money who want to get it out from under Xi's control. Add in the criminal element as we have seen recently and you have a lot of money sloshing about, looking for a safe place outside China. Be it a condo or a business, -
Prince Harry tells Anderson Cooper why he’s not stepping out of the limelight
phetphet replied to Scott's topic in World News
What got me was when he (a decorated soldier who had fought in Afghanistan), said he "felt terrified when his brother shouted at him." I just hope that once he has got this off his chest, he will shut up, stop giving interviews, and go live the happy family life he craves.
