  1. No but It will be interesting how long it stays as patpong. Very few of the bars are making monkey and I do not think a lot of them will reopen. They may start looking at redeveloping.
  2. The problem is that students are in close proximity to others they play together and are involved in activities. Before the mask mandate was in place and it seemed to work. The issue of vax is a new one but for Matayom students it makes sense. The problem with the younger crowd is that they touch things and pass them to another student. They cough and sneeze and pass that to everyone. Trying to have Pratom students especially in the younger crowd keep their mask on and wash their hands is insane. Time will tell and we are not 100% sure how or when the schools will be opened but considering the choices that parents have getting your child vaccinated seems to be the smartest thing. 1 they get out of the house 2. they will actually learn in school 3. It gives mom dad and grandparents some relax time.
  3. It is going to be interesting to see what happens to places like Walking street and Patpong. Even after covid is gone I still do not see it ever getting to a point where people make money. The big money people are going to have to make s decision.
  4. Ah you may be right but who elected them??? They are correct though in that Thais just like almost every other country the people are their own worst enemy. Talked to friends in Ontario and they want to kill everyone that lives in Toronto. There is s pike the government acts with lockdown or minimize action. People complain Government lowers the restrictions and people go out partying and acting like nothing happened. Same thing happened in Thonglor.
  5. I have a suggestion why do they not get in touch with CP ALL and buy some of the 7/11 door bells. The question though is if the cop was in the loo why did she not meet him eventually. I used to do duty when I was younger in the military and there was 2 of us on duty at all times. Around midnight if nothing was happening one of us used to get a couple of hours sleep while the other one did the duty. If you had to go to the can yo either held it or woke the other person up.
  6. GF sells on lazada and I buy a lot of stuff mostly small items and computer parts and have not had an issue with them
  7. Why limit yourself to these areas there are plenty of locations that are not on the main line that are easy access and cheaper. Look at the northern part of the BTS towards Sai Mai and Rangsit. The further away from the center the cheaper the prices for everything. BTS is only steps away. I pay 6k a month for a garden house
  8. Hi folks need some help trying to find an Notary that is actually working. I live in Rangsit but with BTS can travel almost anywhere in BBKK area. Anyone got any suggestions I just need my Canadian divorce decree notarized.
  9. The choices are limited. I think that with the new term starting in a month they can open the schools and start teaching again in class. I agree that students need to learn in a classroom but really did the government have a choice. We are no different than a lot of other countries that had to go to the online lessons. It is a fact of life.
  10. CPALL CENTRAL are not going to want to have to limit the people or go through the process of saying yes you can come in no you can't. They want people in their stores so that tenants can start paying rent.
  11. I am very confused. My post had nothing to do with international needs or drugs. What I was saying was that people were going to need the vacination papers or permit for things INSIDE THEIR COUNTRIES an example I gave was that PEOPLE ATTENDING A CANADIAN JUNIOR HOCKEY GAME HAVE TO SHOW THAT THEY HAVE BEEN FULLY VACINATED. I really could not give a fig. As we have seen one of the things they are proposing in THAILAND is thaat Thais or expats living in the country must show that they have been vacinated. It would not surprise me to see that as a possibility also at cinemas or anywhere people gather in close proximity to each other.
  12. How long before the big money people that own the malls start screaming and this changes.
  13. One thing you are forgetting is that students are taught at a young age that they do not have to work to graduate. University is a litle better but still. The funny thing is that we talk about the Thai but looking at the western countries it seems to be an issue with them as well. Unfortunately there is a generation of ME ME ME. That thinks that everything should be handed do them. Yes it is worse in Thailand. I lived in Pakistan and although it got bad at a point the Pakistanis always got it sorted out. The keys are to hire the best at the top people that you know can and will do the work and have no problem being the bad guy. I like the walk idea also the way they dress and act is important when hiring. Do they ask questions about the job or the company. Are there answers 1 word or can they talk in a sentence that makes sense be it in Thai or English. hire staff for a 90 day trial at a lower wage. Let them prove themselves. Turn over here is huge and something that you have to bear with. Just one comment sometimes you do not need a university degree to be a great employee. I would rather train someone that wants the job and will work their ass off than someone that has a cheap piece of paper. The saying used to be University students learn the theory of doing something. College (trade school) students learn to actually do it.
  14. That is not what I meant. If you follow along there are restrictions for people living in the countries when they go to certain sports or large events that they show proof of vaccination. What I was getting at was that people will need the vaccination certificate domestically even if they do not travel outside the country.
  15. Guaranteed for the first while gong to certain locations or such you are going to have to show that you have been vaccinated. Just look at the U.S. and U.K. Canada as well to go to a Junior A hockey game you have to have proof.
  16. That was my point would you rather be in a Thai hospital with no one to support you or smile at you and hold y our hand or just be there waiting for a busy nurse to come in when it is your turn for a sponge bath?
  17. Okay let me put this in terms that are easy. Matchar is doing fine life is good. Someone that promised to pay matchar 100,000 baht to do some work for them tells you to go to hell they are not paying. Do you just say okay and still do the work for them on a continuous basis or do you stop? Do you take them to court considering you have a signed contract?
  18. If the government paid what they owe and stop the free travel bs then BTS might be able to lower the price increase. Remember they have to pay staff and keep the trains running safely.
  19. A little confused does this mean that I can no longer top up my carrot card and use it? As to lack of tourists this has nothing to do with tourists the problem has long ben happening with the government promising free rides and not living up to the contractual agreement. BTS LLC is feeling the crunch when you consider how many extra miles and hours the trains are running with no money to offset the hard costs as well as the wages paid to staff at all the extra stops. As a shareholder I wish they would simply either shut down or sue the federal and municipal governments.
  20. That is very cynical. MY GF was there beside me the whole way. remember for most of them the prize is what you leave behind in your will.
  21. Yeah I have to admit that living on my own for the first time is enjoyable but I went through the What if with back surgery and have to admit having someone to take care of me was a good thing. Take a look at the 74 year old Brit in Hospital But for the hand of god that could be one of us and I can tell you life is better in a Thai hospital upscale or downscale if you have someone to help look after you.
  22. Used to be a simple medical POA that outlined everything in what you call a directive. from what I see online.
