The US doesn't need to donate any money. Thailand even has enough money to start its own space program for a trip to the moon.

I do not understand this. Thailand has already an space agency since year 2000, called GISTDA Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency. The agency is owned by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation Now the budget should be inflated and even more agencies to emerge just to shoot something on the moon in 7 years? Tax dollars are apparently in abundance. http://www.gistda.or.th/

Where else but in the human body does the virus mutate? The virus mutate in vaccinated and unvaccinated people. The virus is constantly mutating in its reproduction. The genome of RNA viruses changes about 1 million times faster than the human DNA genome. My objection was to the Pepsi2005 poster, who claimed that vaccinated people create the mutational pressure. For your last sentence I don't see it that way. As crazy as it is, the virus doesn't actually want to kill its host.

The B.1.351 line (501Y.V2) - also called beta according to the new WHO nomenclature - first spread in South Africa. In addition to N501Y, there are other mutations (E484K, K417N) of the spike protein. The mutant very likely developed as a result of a high level of infection with the virus in the South African population. South Africa already recorded large-scale corona outbreaks in the summer of 2020. In the townships in particular, the virus found ideal conditions in which to spread. This means: many people were already immune to the original form of Sars-CoV-2 - the virus had to change. Researchers refer to such a situation as evolutionary pressure. Therefore, a new virus variant has prevailed that was superior to the original form because, among other things, it is more contagious. This example shows that if an unvaccinated population is completely infected, dangerous mutations can also arise. Your claim that the virus evolution pressure in the form of mutation is caused by vaccinations is therefore not correct.

Not really. If an unvaccinated person uses their natural defense mechanism to fight off the virus, the virus also mutates.

I wonder how long Bangkok Airways can hold out with only 10 passengers per flight. Or is there any government subsidy money for the airline?

May some read that first to understand what is going on.

5 tests in a box costs 152 Baht (3,95€) incl. Supermarkt Profit and Vat. One test is than around 30 Baht for the endconsumer. Net around 27,5 Baht per piece. But some only anti body test. My prices up are for Antigen Tests.

If it is absolutely necessary to have Chinese tests, they are available in Europe from 1.09 Euros net (without VAT) 1,09Euro = 42.25 baht Are the Kits for 70 Baht a piece really so much better? I guess the seller in Europe make also some small Profit. In bulk purchases they are definitely more cheaper. Maybe the Thais from the purchasing department should look again. Maybe they could save another 200 million baht there.

https://www.massdevice.com/lepu-recalls-8m-covid-19-tests-due-to-risk-for-false-results/ What a coincidence. 8,4 million test recalled in the US. And now Thailand is buying 8,5 million.

If international supply contracts are violated, this will certainly not be without consequences.

Since founding the party, Thanathorn has advocated his vision for the party: the return of civilian government and demilitarization of Thai politics, greater political accountability, a fairer distribution of wealth, a social welfare system that promotes human dignity and greater decentralization of power. A missed opportunity. In the end he was dismantled with all nasty Tricks.

Thailand can wait a long time. The idea of replacing corrupt politicians with other corrupt politicians has no future for the country. Taksin knows that the army government is currently weak in terms of popular support; and that the infantry of the army is made up mostly of the sons of poor farmer peasants. I hope that the honest politicians (there are actually some) can finally prevail against these corrupt robber gangs. But there is only little hope. All control institutions (unelected parliamentarians, NACC, courts ombutsman, press, critical voices, new democracy movements) have been systematically weakened over the years. In the past, the army had carried out its coups, but resigned then after quickly. This time it's different. Since 7 years now and nobody knows how long this condition will last.

For real? Is Natawut no longer busy with his transport company? Move sacks of rice back and forth between warehouses like in the past. Now all they have to do is dig up Ex DSI Tarit and pink Rolls Royce Charlerm. Then it would be perfect to have a corrupt anti-corruption team.

So far, many have lived from their reserves and credit lines. The economic impact comes with a time lag. Many now have no more money and no income. This is now increasingly reflected in decline in demand. More production cuts, more Shop closings, rent losses, loan losses, tax losses, etc. The bottom is yet to come. The only thing that will increases is crime, theft, break-ins and robberies.

Thaivisa should create a new section for this: Corruption folder/cases/unclosed

full disclosure That didn't exist in Thailand. When I think of the purchases, distribution and orders from Thai governments / rulers / village chiefs over the past 10 years, these cases spontaneously come to mind: Austria Firetrucks, Bomb detectors, Streetlights, luxury wristwatches, Hua Hin park figures, Pattaya floating pontongs, PVC street bollards, submarines, luxury cars disappeared from custom warehouses, Road construction, railway line construction, airport construction, police gas masks, Microphones in Parliament, Land encroachment, Unexplained wealth, Rice storage rental, tablets for schoolkids, Gucci Monk, UFO Monk, Cooperative bank scandal, Rolls Royce aircraft engines, Red bull Ferrari, Vaccine prices, Thai Beverage PLC police adviser, Deforestation, illigal timber trade, misappropriated funds for the poor, Ghost students, Temple renovation scam, Futsal fields, insider trading, Admission tests for the police service. Full disclosure 555

Economically and ecologically this is threefold nonsense. 1. Taxpayer pays the bill. 2. Consumers have to pay more for the fruit. 3. The army is taking away the work of the freight forwarders. It's just a PR trick to raise the army's image. And maybe there is a small provision in the background as "Thank you".

And tons of kerosene are blown there to make a kilo of rambutan 10 baht more expensive? LOL

They do training flights, but not from Chiang Mai to Surattani!! And if you spend a lot of flying hours like this, the planes have to be serviced more often. That costs additional money. The whole thing is a PR show paid by the taxpayer.

I too. Looks like there are some papers circulating around. Anutin responded to questions raised by Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn, list MP of the opposition Move Forward Party, who on Friday claimed to have obtained a draft of the decree granting a “semi-blanket amnesty” to officials.

If you read the article from the other newspaper we can not name here, then u get an idea. Ministry defends liability immunity bill MP raises issue of 'semi-blanket amnesty' that covers policymakers as well.

But the planned law does not differentiate here, it categorically excludes responsibility for all parties involved in the broadest sense. It is definitely not the fault of the overworked doctors and nurses if the announced vaccine is not there.

I do not agree with you. But even in a highly tense situation, work can be carried out with care and a clear conscience. I am not thinking of the nurses and doctors either. I am thinking more of the regulators who create the framework for doctors and nurses. When vaccines are distributed to friends and acquaintances at the side who can be shown to skip the waiting list, when excessive prices are charged for vaccines and someone fills their pockets privately, when vaccination appointments are canceled because there is no vaccine, when there are orders with vaccines Suppliers are publicly postulated and in truth there is no contract? if vaccination numbers are postulated that are not correct, if the general population is deliberately misinformed. Why shouldn't a judge decide and why should legal action be categorically excluded?

You sure? I thought Line is Japanese ? Now South Korean. Line, a messaging app made by South Korea's Naver Corp. that took off in Japan, just crossed 100 million users globally 19 months after it originally launched. The app is one of the leading contenders in smartphone messaging in Asia and faces off against Tencent's WeChat and KakaoTalk. WeChat is chinese.
