I personally wouldn't be so delighted knowing I just got jabbed with Sainovac.
Is that the same as SinoVac?

Maybe 10 things on the list, but they only do 1 at a time, today will be helmets, tomorrow licences etc. The BIB cannot multi task!

What a fantastic read, thanks Rooster!
HOW did the commissioners get this approved? Outside of BKK, the commission had seen a report that said CP would have a monopoly of around 90%... The 10 remaining percent being mom/pop stores we assume, as CP owns everything else - Makro, Big C, Lotus, 7/11, Central Plaza's... the list goes on!
Talking about rich families that control Thailand, after the initial 'public outrage' that lasted about 6 weeks, we seem to have forgotten about the red bull heir who is still successfully evading police 'efforts' to find him...

Still getting it wrong, it's 14 nights, i.e 16 days in effect, but of course you start you sentence on day zero, their rules!

I wish those responsible would get their facts right, my German friend has just completed quarantine which to his surprise was 15 nights in the ASQ so 16 days in total, note they count the first day as day 0 !!

So remind me., which hotels are the 100 odd US soldiers staying in and whose paying for them? Ah yes, the Conrad and the Anantara Siam, between 90,000 -144,000 each

They are using hydroxychloriquin and an anti viral, I don't recall favipiravir being mentioned in a facebook post earlier confirming the treatment a patient had
Some 120,000 tablets of Favipiravir, an antiviral drug, will be imported for the battle against Covid-19, Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said on Wednesday (March 18).

I believe that that is Immigration's long term plan. To have one app that you click on arrival and share location to say you are back in Thailand (replacing TM6 Arrival Card), then click again to share location for your change of location when you leave home (replacing TM30) and ultimately share location for 90 day reporting.

When that came into effect, Thailand had to remove the import duty on Beer Laos. They did remove the import duty - and immediately introducing a 'special tax' on Beer Laos at exactly the same rate the import duty was set at, thus keeping the price exactly the same, while 'complying' with the FTA.
You think a European trade agreement will stop Thailand cheating?
Same story with Craft Breweries, Mr Singha & Mr Chiang have persuaded the government to set the minimum allowable brewery to 100,000 l/year and banned home brew!

When buying a car/SUV/Pickup remember who will want to buy it used. Thais are conservative and prefer Toyota for all types and Isuzi for pickups. Their favourite colours are white, (sensible choice in a hot country), black because all rich people drive black Mercs and lastly silver.
I bought a beautiful red Honda City 10 years ago, (before Mazda came in with their Metallic red that everyone loves now) and no Thai would look at it! I had to sell it below value to a Farang, my friend who had a similar Honda Jazz, one year older and much higher mileage got more for hers because it was silver!

Re replacing the sand and reclaiming the beach, have the learn-ed Generals never heard of longshore drift which can be controlled by the use of Groynes? I remember as a kid going to beaches in the South West of England where these had been deployed successfully for years, but of course a permanent solution would not fill the back pocket!

Palm oil is also used as a feed-stock for bio-diesel which Thailand produced to use up the surplus when the price is down. I agree the environmental consequences of palm oil farming are disastrous.

Having worked in the edible oil industry all my life I find most of the comments very amusing! Let's start with some hard facts:
- Polyunsaturated fats Contain two or more carbon-carbon double bonds. When eaten in as food such nuts, seeds, fish and leafy greens, they have clear health benefits. However, the benefits of consuming sunflower oil and corn oil, although rich in polyunsaturates, are much less clear.
- Monounsaturated oils Contain just one carbon-carbon double bond. They are found in avocados, olives, olive oil, almonds and hazelnuts, and also in lard and goose fat. Olive oil, which is approximately 76% monounsaturated, is a key component in the Mediterranean diet, which has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Saturated fats have no double bonds between carbon atoms. Although we are encouraged to switch from eating saturated fats, particularly dairy and other fats derived from animals, the benefits of doing so are being challenged.
- The percentages of each in the oils below varies somewhat but these values are typical
Type of oil or fat Poly-unsaturated (%) Mono-unsaturated (%) Saturated (%) Coconut oil 2 6 86 Butter 3 21 51 Lard 11 45 39 Goose fat 11 56 27 Olive oil 10 76 14 Rapeseed oil 28 63 7 Sesame oil 41 40 14 Corn oil 54 27 12 Sunflower oil 65 20 10 So from this table you can see coconut oil is high in saturated fats, so is unhealthy as a salad oil, but has good frying properties because of its high content of saturated oils, which are more stable at high temperature. Conversely oils high in poly- and mono- unsaturates which help with LDL/HDL cholesterol (google it) make good salad oils, but lousy frying oils because they decompose on heating. Canola oil BTW is Low Erusic Rape.
Re hydrogenation, it was used for years to produce steep melting fats (from cheap liquid oils e.g.Fish an Soyabean) which had excellent baking properties as well as good mouth feel in margarines. Most of the big named manufacturers (one of which I use to work for) did away with Hyrogenated oils many years ago and replaced them with small amounts of fractionated oils and fats, like Palm Olein and Palm Stearin. The cheapest oils on the shelves here are Palm olein which have reasonable frying properties and a good taste. Hope this clears the air!

Government claims its liquor policy is in the public interest

Very small brewpubs (100L)can open easier now but larger, for example, 200L brewhouse will now be harder as they need a new license from industrial department. It's like they unlock some rules and add new rules. They tell people to they have unlocked the rules but don't tell you that additional rules are harder to overcome. They cap the energy consumption limit at 37kW, but a 200l system needs 30kW just for the brewing process, never mind the pub.
