Throw a can of "pop" at him and get him to move then play the ball where it lies once it rolls off.

Simple and easy put it up for sale.

What no Chang shirt hit him with max fine and toss him

Outlaw all weapons

Set up a council that will look after all communities.

I would not outlaw religion because that has been tried and failed.  I would mandate that any war or crime committed in the name of religion would be a death sentence.

Get rid of politicians and the Main stream media.

Probably in the long run not a bad idea.  I am surprised that more islands are not thinking the same way.  

Please post a pic of the ceremony if you can.  Also please tell her that she is truly a TRUE THAI and that she more than deserves the awards that she gets.

I rent a house can I get a yellow book and id card and if so how.  I live in Lam Lukka already have a tax id for what it is worth.

What do I need to take with me on retirement extension

Sure, I use half of a large carrot, half an apple, 1/3 banana, then either some Chinese celery or Chinese Broccoli (Gai LAN) and then you have your choice of proteins. Can add 3 tablespoons pumpkn seeds (shelled) or 150 grams plain yogurt, each provide about 12 grams protein. Then just some milk (I use plain unsweetened Soy milk) to make the blender's job a little easier. To simplify things, I precut and freeze in zio lock bags portions of the above. That way you don't need ice for a cold smoothie. Each bag will make two large glasses. Yih can of course modify to your tastes, the key is enough veg for nutrients, enough fruit for Sweetness and protein for a complete meal.

Thanks will add that to my shopping list tomorrow

We have never had lockdown.

Pretty sure we did in March.  I know everything was closed.

I go 'Veg' for months at a time but still add fish back into diet when not on the veg kick. Easy as pie...fresh veg and fruit available everywhere at great prices. I found also that getting a good blender and adding Smoothies to the mix helps a lot...most breakfasts and at least 2 lunch/dinner meals per week  I make a nice fruit veg protien smoothie...satisfying and easy to maintain healthy weight that way too.

Care to share your recipe.

I have meat (Chicken or fish) at Sizzler once a week as my treat for being a good boy.  Rest of the week it is toast with PB oatmeal then salad and rice for supper.  Snack is cashews one bag lasts a week,.

The sensible thing to do is lick down.  The same rules as last time.

Aw do you remember when you were young. 

Going out getting blitzed on Friday night was not good for you but what the hell

Having a few drinks and then driving home because we really did not drink that much

Picking up a girl in a bar for a one nighter and not worrying about silly things like STD

It is now a lot worse because we live in a society (not just here) where kids are not taught responsibility and no one does anything wrong it is always someone elses fault.

The yes I screwed up but still I should get everything.

If in fact they were told not socialize in person and they were out to lunch during working hours then even though both of these were stipulated as part of the deal for working at home they should be fired for breach of contract and immediately put on unpaid sick leave.

The 2020 lockdown lasted for about 3 months.

 

The virus appears to have mutated in such a way that it is more transmissible, perhaps it's passed a certain unknown threshold which was protecting Thailand from mass infections, perhaps not - only time will tell.

 

The Thais became complacent since things opened up last summer, it's obvious they thought 'that's it - we're in the clear'.

 

Hubris.

 

 

Not all Thais LOL you need to talk to my other half.  That and a lot of parents that have lived with it.

I do agree though that mainstream had pretty well decided that it was a done deal.  But unfortunately that seems to be the way in a lot of countries.  Ontario Canada gets going good then it breaks out again in Toronto their big city/

I realize that a lot of people with big pockets don't want to lockdown as they will lose money and of course that is more important than lives.

The government were wrong, very wrong and they not only look like idiots but they've proven beyond any doubt that they are in fact idiots.

 

I think we knew that anyway ????

Correct me if I am wrong.  (I know someone will)

BUT

did we not go to lockdown when it first hit and them come back in phases.

Did we not have one of the lowest infection rates and death rates?

If it worked before why not do it again for 3 weeks.  If they do it now then kids might be able to start school on time.

Parents can spend time with their kids.

It isn't as if this mickey mouse is helping businesses' not sure about in BKK but malls are almost empty here.

I can’t see that a lockdown with curfews can be avoided now. 

 

Measures (masks in cars) are getting silly....   everything closing at 9pm.

 

Curfew is the inevitable next step. 

 

Almost every poster on this forum was correct when they commented that there will be an explosion of cases after Songkran. The only surprise is that a full lockdown has not already been instigated. 

 

 

I may be simplistic after all I am Canadian BUT why did we not go to the same measures that we did when the first wave hit.  It seemed to work we kept the numbers and death toll low.

Too me that makes the most sense.

Vaccination is not the problem.  The fact that it was sinovac is.

The big problem is that you can say or do anything on the internet and be anonymous.  It is not only here in Thailand.  As stated you can not silence people but it might be interesting that the internet removed the nick name and everyone was given access to the internet and able to publish and go on chat or Facebook but can only use their real name and picture as well as the real city they live in.

The defamation laws in this country are probably the most stringent.  Could you imagine what it would be like in the states if they had the law that you can not slander anyone,  Man talk about a buoy court system and a lot of rich happy Facebook chasers (lawyers).

There is an advantage to that in that it might end a lot of the bullying false <deleted> said about people.

Well my rant is done. 

A ROOSTER IN A BOOT

As to the wife forgetting you in the boot.  Roster you might be right but I am sure the kids would remember after all who would pay for their favorite meals and toys.

HAHA yes Extra Pay - great spot there KK. 

But do you think a Thai child learning English is best taught by farang with no Thai ability? My point is, a Thai teaching English can obviously speak both languages and can explain better in Thai, what they are requesting, in English?
An English speaking farang who does not speak Thai has only English to explain things in so if the student doesnt get it, maybe they switch off? After all, my P6 class were taught maths in both languages and some of the were better in Thai maths than English taught maths

While in theory you are right there is one major problem.

Most Thai teachers can not speak English.

As to having an English speaking teacher speaking Thai that will not work either.  The kids will just look at you strangely until you are teaching classes in Thai.

The first rule that we are told at all schools is that while you are on the grounds you only speak English.    

Again the EP classes are a bit of a joke in a lot of schools.  The true EP means that kids can understand and spoeak English.  

Math is an interesting choice when you consider that it is a language of it's own in that it is numbers.  If you know the numbers and the teacher teaches correctly in theory a child should be able to learn by watching.  

Science and social could be problems I agree but again if the child can not read or write in English then they in theory again should not be in the class.  The one saving grace for a lot of these schools is that they are commercial and dependent on parents money so they therefore understand that the kids must pass to keep mom and dad happy and the money to continue to flow.
