She is indeed fortunate.
Yes, in Edinburgh there are ethnic Indians with a Scots brogue. In Thailand, there are ethnic Europeans with an Isarn accent.
Friend of ours moved up to Isle of Lewis about 10 yrs ago. Local shop in Stornoway run by Scottish speaking Indians !

Being over 17, there's not much I cab change now regarding her accent. IELTS is no problem. The worst thing is that she will have to pay fees of about 13,000 GBP a year as a foreign student, despite being a British citizen.
I know !

My daughter started learning German as she was going to be going to free University there.
Before Brexit ? Or were you anticipating Scottish independence?

Met an amazing woman from Corsica a couple of months ago . What a character! True mafia material !
Sorry I digress !
I would worry more about the grammar than the accent. My daughter was always staunch anti Thailand and as such it seemed fairly certain would return to the UK. However upon graduation from university (graduated school
) , she realised salaries weren't as high as anticipated, then there was tax, then (horror of horrors ) they wanted you to intern , aka slave labour.
Hence she ended up in Singapore!

Indeed, and Eva are still offering flights one way flights to LHR on three days next week for a 22,665 Baht in Economy and 32,000 Baht in premium economy
People booked on those Eva flights are wondering if they are still happening considering incoming flights seem to have been stopped. Seeing as these flights are maybe some of the last it is leaving a lot of people on tenterhooks. Is there any reliable source available for people to check their status.

It's all very well to keep telling people to book commercial flights, but when the flights keep getting cancelled there is only so much you can do.
There seem to be announcements of no more incoming flights to Thailand which I suppose would mean no outgoing , so it doesn't seem feasible to book a commercial flight anymore.
Perhaps it would help to give some information regarding flights already booked and whether these will be happening after incoming flights have been stopped.

Wearing a mask I think is a good idea but I feel it can often give people a false sense of security. A lot of effort put on mask wearing but too little on social distancing. Many people I see seem to think they can only catch the disease outside their social circle. Any guard seems to come down when they are with their friends.

I don't think international airmail is happening. I have postponed all mine until situation returns to normal.
Last weeks which should have been OK are looking a bit hit and miss regarding tracking ! Fingers crossed!

My friend and her son probably had it , but couldn't get tested. This was in UK.
Another friend in UK said 4 of her friends have it (ie . tested as having it). She said only normally tested if you are high risk or hospitalised. In my view you need to do massive testing to control it and also massive antibody testing in anyone recovered / think they have recovered from it. Only then can you control it and get useful data to see how it spreads.

It's always been my belief that sooner or later big business would be looking for the opportunity to "mop up" at reduced prices. That seems to be the nature of humans in large scale monopolistic businesses. They do seem to have forgotten that they will probably not survive either after their brief moment of triumph. Winning on the playing field but killing all the grass in the process. No playing field left!
There is something rotten in the whole core process and it needs to change. I have had a feeling about this for the past year or more. My intuition is rarely wrong !

Many landlords in Chiang Mai not charging rent for the near future. There seems to be the consensus of "we're all in this together". Whether the banks and corporate investors go along with this, waits to be seen.

Deduction from comments so far = level of insanity is closely correlated to time in self isolation!

In Singapore not many people wearing masks now, but very strict social distancing.
It is also very difficult to find decent masks now and has been for some time. I don't understand why people would queue up in crowded situations although I guess some people have to.
I use small shops and work out my own precautions, better to shop with half a dozen other people than a couple of hundred somewhere like Makro.
