    Governments never care, nor should they if truth be told. Their job is basically to make government bigger. 

    I was part of the US Government for decades before retiring in Thailand and I did care enough to help as I could, or refer people to those in power to do so. Sadly the US Government is a political entity, and some politicians are in business for themselves. A bad General doesn't mean all the soldiers are bad.

    Unfortunately not a Thai thing alone. What i read all those contracts are secret also in the Western world. So they have a great reason not to make them public. But it is strange a less effective vaccine costing more. Then again it is the only vaccine they can get.

     

    Their faillure is costing peoples lives and the vaccine are bad Chinese <deleted>.

     

    Wish we could prove if some people were making money. It would totally destroy the government.

    I try to remember I live in Thailand and not back west.

    “The other 13 passengers on the flight have been considered high risk and taken to quarantine at an alternative local quarantine [ALQ] venue for 14 days,” Dr Kusak added.

     

    All the passengers of the entire flight are now under quarantine.

    Why would anyone jump through all the hoops and risk coming here for a holiday?

     

    Some may have fallen for the propaganda spewing forth from the usual sources.

    So it's not just dumb blonde female college students that fall for the old "I'll pay you to carry this on the plane for me trick". 

    You'd think someone from Columbia would be smarter than that.

    Unless of course he knew what he was doing all along. Don't think I'd want to spend "life" in a Cambodian prison. (Or any other one for that matter.)

    It reads and reveals much about the author.

    I would ignore all top financial advice rumak, and listen to the doom Sayers on ThaiVisa----if it wasn't for the fact that in the 22 years of living here, they haven't changed their mantra---- "Thailand -Its doomed--finished -Kaput-etc etc"

    I bypass the doomsday sayers. I need only look around to see that many businesses are indeed finished, kaput and closed.

  6. More impotence and the inability to regulate speed boats, jet skis, illegal scooter rentals parking on public roads, merchants and vendors encroaching on footpaths/sidewalks, broken down footpaths, hanging wires; trash everywhere, racing motorscooters with modified or disconnected mufflers, blaring speakers on trucks adding to noise pollution, absent traffic enforcement and so much more.  Seems that the solution is to proclaim the "Sandbox" will save this sinking ship.
