    I doubt he/she would, since 95% of the arguments of this type usually sound stupid when you actually have to say them out loud and then defend them logically.

    I actually have more respect for this viewpoint when it's also applied to alcohol and even other mind-altering drugs like coffee.  I'd disagree with it, but at least it would be consistent.  Go Mormon or go home!

    And hell, if you wanna go deeper and ban things that artificially jack around with your dopamine and/or serotonin, you could do a lot worse than banning sugar (in all its guises), social media, and TV.  Except for "medicinal purposes," of course.  Would love to see the doctor's note for that!



     

    Just what Thai drivers need, Some legal killer weed to go along with the booze and Yaba slow their thought process they are far too educated and have such high driving ability at the moment .

    Well, that will encourage more punters to live in Thailand during a world-wide pandemic ???? This is Thai economics 101 - if demand is low, increase the prices!

    First time I saw this in my original tourist days, I was amazed.I'd been in high season first then returned in low season and all the bars resturants etc.were empty so up went the prices! Amazing Thailand!????

    I very much doubt thailand will have a lot of medical tourists, I had 1 stent fitted at bangkok hospital. Cost 10,000 pounds same op at Nuffield in uk 4,000 pounds and Poland the cheapest these days, and most of the staff did their training in the uk!

    I just had one put in in Australia .It didn't cost me anything.Although I have paid taxes in the past .I am now retired. I will have a knee replaced within the year,again at no cost.We have a wonderful health system. Which the "let them eat cake" mob try to wreck every time they are elected.

    No worries most will take the 30 day visa on arrival and then disappear off to Cambodia and Vietnam for 3,4,5 or 6 months,,,,great way to go push a huge percent of tourists out to neighbouring countries????????.

    They seem to be forgetting tourism was at a low even before all this virus came along

    No, the "High So"s  will all be flocking in to drop boatloads of Baht to save the country! [Said the Chesire cat to Alice ]

    Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, your thoughts

    in Motorcycles in Thailand

    Posted

    I checked one out but I went with the Vulcan 650.The RE looked ok.Solid enough but it was too tall for me and with my buggered knees [I get one steel one next year sometime] I need forward controls.To be honest I love theVulcan.It has a lot of plastic but the thing really flys.I have a 2007 Triumph America 865 and a 2019 1200 Speedmaster The Vulcan would leave the merica like it was standing still and I dare say wouldn't be embarassed by the 1200.

    Will Thailand open again and when.

    I think Thailand will slowly open up to countries with little or no Covid like China, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand. I expect that will happen over the next 6 months.

     

    As for the rest of the world, Thailand won't open up to most countries until a vaccine is available, has been widely administered administered, airlines get flights back under way etc, I reckon it will be late next year at the earliest and Q1 or more likely Q2 of 2022 before the masses will be able to travel internationally again.

     

    18 months from now is my best guess when most of us will be able to return to Thailand.

    The CEO of QANTAS has grounded international flights until [late?]March 2021.He is in contact with the heads of gov't so he'd have a good idea what's going on.Also, Thai Airways office in Brisbane has closed.There may be flights between NZ and Aust. by Xmas but IMO I wouldn't be looking at flights to Thailand or much elsewhere until March next year or later
