Tinned Fish is a good idea But if this Cat is anything like ours, it will scoff all the Sauce and leave the Fish. -

This must be the follow up article to one that was posted in BKK Newspaper a few Days ago. This is an article of smoke and mirrors me thinks The Newspaper out of BKK, stated that just a few Tourists had tested Positive for Covid upon their arrival in Thailand during the same period as this article states. However ! what this article does not state is the number of Tourists that had to report their Covid status to their Governments before returning to their Home Countries during the same period. That number was reported to be between 300 - 400 people testing positive, after their stay in Thailand. Hmmmm

Foreign Tourist Hospitalized After Nearly Drowning in Pattaya
Cake Monster replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Sounds a little like a roleplaying exercise to me Never seen a Lifeguard before. -
I guess there is a need to show the Global population that Thailand is trying to do something about its Covid situation. It was reported in a Newspaper out of BKK, that in the first 2 weeks of 2023, only a very few visiting Tourists were tested Covid positive. However, those that had to report their status to their returning Countries upon departure from the Country were a whopping 300-400 after testing. Go figure !

Along with a rise in basic wage for workers, this is going to play into the Economy in the form of further Inflation for sure. -
Electricity prices again to go up in January?
Cake Monster replied to Dario's topic in General Topics
My Wife has a small business renting out Apartments to Factory Workers. The bill she received mid January showed that the FT rate had increased in DECEEMBER from 0.9343 Baht per unit Baht per Unit to 1.5492 baht per Unit A rise of 0.6149 Baht Per Unit - a very large increase of about 62 % PLUS Vat has to be added to this which takes the rise to nearly 70 % This came as somewhat of a shock, as the FT rate rise on Electricity was supposed to be suspended until April -

Horrific death of 11 in passenger van crash in Thailand
Cake Monster replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Why would you even think that something would be done to stop these mindless accidents. After 13 people were killed in a similar accident a few years ago on the 36 Route near Pattaya, a law was passed to take these 4 wheel Coffins off the road, and replace them with Micro Busses that 22 seats. But because the owners of these Operations kicked up a stink, the Law was revoked, and that is why these 11 poor innocent people had to die in such a horrific manner. Condolences to all their Families and Loved ones -
Not only is there a downturn in Exports and Manufacturing, but there also seems to be more signs of another round of Inflationary hikes about to start. I think this has all been so predictable with the increase to Business users on the cost of Electricity. The FT rate on my Wifes Business, has risen this month from an FT value of 0.9343 per unit to 1.5492 per unit. a whopping rise of 0.6149 Baht per Unit - plus 7 % VAT. This is close to 70 % with the VAT added With high Energy costs such as this, Employee Wage Rises, plus the highly over valued Baht, which will play onto a reduction in Tourist numbers, I feel the wheels are starting to fall off the Thai seemingly Invincible Economy going forward.

Over 900,000 Foreign Tourists Came To Thailand During Jan. 1-15: TAT
Cake Monster replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
These mainly young couples are possibly the " Brain Drain " and conscription dodges from Russia. The big question is how they are able to receive funds for any possible long stay what with all the sanctions on their Banks etc Maybe Thailand has " facilitators " -
DDC Affirms Chinese Travelers Pose Low COVID Risk
Cake Monster replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Have the DDC full, clinical, and intimate knowledge of the situation within Chinas Borders in regard to Covid Infection Rates, Strains Etc, Etc If they do, this would be a World first, and their knowledge gleaned should be made available to WHO and the entire World for the benefit of Mankind. If they are not willing, or able to publish this information, this statement can only be seen as a load of Tosh, and should be publicly retracted -

Cake Monster replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I guess we will have to wait and see if the rise in Tourists also creates a boost in demand for ICU Units and Hospital Beds.
