    Inflation is falling, not soaring, it's a major issue for the bank, April CPI was -3%:

    The ever weakening USD is a concern when it comes to Baht strength, people have been dumping the Dollar which is causing it to weaken. The main reasons for that fall are the riots, and the high level of borrowings, as a result THB looks like a very sound and stable currency since government debt is below 42% of GDP. 

     

     

    Sure the debt is low, as they don't spend a single THB on social welfare to feed and house their people in need, like developed countries do.

    proving once again the low intellect of the ministers, whose 'jobs' are handed out irrespective of merit or experience in those areas;

    just test the workers, yes, one-by-one; and extend the period , if they pass the test, to the end of the year;;

    thailand crumbles without the 2-3 million migrant workers

    Not sure if it would crumble. Too many people now outta work, soecially from the tourism business. They easily could fill in these places, just would have to start really working and not playing with heir phones during woking hours

    Went to my local indoor talat yesterday, on entry points around the building... nothing.

    Inside nothing, people/vendors not wearing masks, food vendors allowing people to sit at crowded tables, no gel or thermometers anywhere, no social distancing, no ThaiChana, no signing in or out.... 

    absolutely nothing !

    Same here, even with Chang bottles on the table, sitting outrside. Back to the old normal. Leo Leo !

    I believe that is exactly what they report.

     

    The filter that exists before one ends up on the reports is another matter though.

     

    Not that it matters that much, it's just a number for the consumption of the hoi polloi. I'd like an update on the testing capacity, especially upcountry, the average time from sampling to result and the number of people doing manual contact tracing. Those do matter.

     

    Solly, no haep !
