How do you know it's true? I feel sorry for her a little bit! She's just one woman, and whilst there is a lot of evidence to show that Prince Andrew did have sex with a minor, no one is going after him. No one is going after all of the guys who have been named and shamed. Only this woman.

She's just one woman?  Have you followed anything at all?

I don't know. I just checked, and you're right, she is accused of having sex with one 15 year old girl. I don't believe it, I think she was just there. For starters, she's not a lesbian, or Bi.

 

How tf do you know

As there are now quarantine hotels in Phuket maybe they will do the same as for the Bangkok passengers.

I understood form the Thai embassy that you don't have to use the special repatriation flights anymore in the near future to go to Thailand but can use any commercial flight as long you have the COQ and the quarantine hotel organized same as now. ( I'm still trying to get this confirmed )

let us know if thats confirmed

so a duvet is a comforter with a quilt cover on it?

...personally, I prefer a duvet with it's own removable and washable cover.

 

We have a Hitachi 15KG top loader that has a special 'Blanket' setting that works well for stuffed bedding. Just wash and then let it sun dry (flip once).  In cool season if the bedding has feathers I sometimes have to leave it out on two consecutive days in direct sun to remove as much internal moisture as possible.

yes duvet is fine

It is not a comforter. That is a northern English colloquialism.  It is a quilt.

next october? <deleted>??

I made an inquiry for insurance off an add on this site as I can return with the Thai wife. 

I said for one year premium please advise health and C19 coverage prices. 

I have been pestered by a broker for 2 days, calling from the UK, sounds Asian did not ask him. He is very keen to sell me insurance which I will not need until early next year. 

The prices range from 2K USA up to 25K USA and for World wide cover, which I told him I didn't want. 

I thought that I would be getting quotes from Thailand companies, and these people are keen to sell. 

What a load of rap, Thailand is going to have to re think letting expats and tourists back. 

Hotel quarantine is a rip off, resorts think that they can quadruple prices, no one will buy this. 

This insurance business is nothing but a cash grabbing rip off and the cut off age varies from 70 to 75.

 

All expats or tourists will be in deep strife, the golf courses will take a hit. Mr Leo and Dr Singa must be down on profit, the Hi So that control the punch and Judy show have big insurance interests. 

They are so greedy that they are wrecking Thailand. 

 

Somethings got to give. 

The big Pharma companies are holding the world to ransom, If the USA used Ivermectin to treat C19 there would be no need for a vaccine. 

Watch it yourself on YouTube 

 

I no longer have to fear Covid 19

SARS-CoV-2[edit]

Ivermectin has antiviral effects against several distinct positive-sense single-strand RNA viruses, including SARS-CoV-2.^[81] Ivermectin inhibits replication of SARS-CoV-2 in monkey kidney cell culture with an IC₅₀ of 2.2 - 2.8 µM, making it a possible candidate for COVID-19 drug repurposing research.^[82][83] The doses used in cell culture would require 10⁴ larger doses in humans based on this data, which does not look promising as an effective treatment for COVID-19.^[84][85] Such high doses of ivermectin are not covered by the current human-use approvals of the drug and could be dangerous, as the likely antiviral mechanism of action is the suppression of a host cellular process,^[85] specifically the inhibition of nuclear transport by importin α/β1.^[86] Moreover, cell culture experiments also showed promise for ivermectin treating Dengue, but later failed in animal models.^[84]

On 10 April 2020, the FDA issued guidance to not use ivermectin intended for animals as treatment for COVID-19 in humans.^[87]

A preprint published in early April 2020 claimed benefits of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19, but it was a retrospective study based on questionable hospital data from Surgisphere and was withdrawn at the end of May. The preprint led to several government agencies in Latin America recommending ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment; these recommendations were later denounced by the regional WHO office.^[88]

As of July, ivermectin was being studied in 19 ongoing and 18 planned clinical trials.^[89]

I just knew I should not have poked my head out with the Thaivisa Crew. 

 

These are foreigners with no income.  Those that could get back home are gone. There is no-one looking to rent. I could leave homes empty or have known tenant take good care of the property. They all offer to do repairs whatever. You expect me to offer free rent for any passer by.  Get real.  

No you get real  It is a loser situation  Give them a bottom line for payment  Nobody has no money, and if so chuck them out .. <deleted>, LIK?

Denying people health service at hospitals during Covid, while nurses make TicTok videos, has killed many people who didn't need to die.

There will be millions more deaths of despair due to the economic fallout, and those won't be people at the end of their lives who would probably have died of the flu anyway.

Possibly due to the Chinese being let back in  starting in Phuket ?

BANGKOK: Thailand will receive its first foreign vacationers when a flight from China arrives next week, marking the gradual restart of a vital tourism sector battered by coronavirus travel curbs, a senior official said on Tuesday (Sep 29).

The first flight will have about 120 tourists from Guangzhou, flying directly to the resort island of Phuket, Tourism Authority of Thailand governor Yuthasak Supasorn told Reuters.

What do you mean "same time photos"?

Kamala is heaven by comparison and there is far more to the place than "expats drinking all day" if you venture away from the main drag (strip) and one-day-it-will-be-walking-street Rim Hat.

Heaven? What does you mean Rim Hat? What "far more" is there outside the main drag - not much? Please list it out. A coffee shop?  There's nothing of particular off the main raceway, and is aspiration to being Hat Rim walking street a thing for Kamala locals, or just you ? Is that what local residents want? Do you speak for Kamala? It is one of the most corrupt jurisdictions in Phuket.  

I helped pulled bodies out of the lake and painted their school after the tsunami btw and got no thanks at the end of the day except more hands sticking out.

PS:  why would someone wish/chose to sit and watch expats drinking??

Exactly.

PS:  why would someone wish/chose to sit and watch expats drinking??

Diver's in the beginning,  in his 30's, was a legendary figure, and highly regarded as a visionary as catering to the expat few, and rescuing potential drowners on Kamala beach from his shack in year 1990 etc, where he has allowed to be, as his wife Pranee was as I understand, a Kamala Chief's daughter local. The only shack on that beach. Nothing else then. 

He reluctantly moved to that crappy shed in Surin and etc. thereafter. He saved several lives on each beach where he operated . Ask him.

Also, - Don't bandy words with me you Quizzling.

Half-decent beach as well.

 

(And what on earth is wrong with 7/11s - wish we had them in the UK!)

 Heaven, hardly my friend. Well where to begin.  There is virtually nothing apart from the main drag and the remains of the beach.  The corporates have taken over the crappyness of the top end of beach and polluted it (what have the locals said?).  It's just a bunch of beer bar worthies and and a racetrack through the middle.

Bejeesus I miss Ran's bar (the Bank on that turn in the old village), and  Diver's,  and the water buffalos at sunset.  It is sheete now.

Whats wrong with these presumably not new cnuts
