Bird watching (the feathered variety), well both varieties actually. Photography (of both varieties). Are there any bird watching groups in Isaan? And watching sports, mainly football ....... when it all restarts.

Horrid woman. There are those who proclaim how we must be scientific,  must shun primitive religious practices, mysticism etc. and yet they  fall into a hedonistic frenzy over harry potter the  annoying prat and his  collection of obnoxious pals. Harry potter is a celebration of  revisionist satanism where the gods of greek mythology have  been repackaged and rebranded as hobgoblins, pixies, elves, and whatever.  Nonsensical idiocy. Watching  university kids  running about with brooms between their  legs pretending they were quidditch "athletes" was depressing. I could understand had they been drunk or stoned, but they were serious. No different than the idiots who dress up as klingons and elves to attend comicon. We called them the Ted Kazinski unit of the special ed short bus.

Blimey! I'm glad I haven't read any of the books then. I am the only one?

Yes, modern technology does soften the blow a little amidst all this insanity.

Then .... why come/stay here?  I have encountered exactly 2 "ordinary" Thais who were rude bigots in YEARS here, other than corrupt Immigration personnel, who use rudeness as an economic-tactic.   Given the CCP's well-funded anti-farang media barrage here, this demonstrates a significant inherent-resistance to bigot-hate tendencies.

 

I work with Thais every day.  They are generally very nice, polite people.  I encountered a significantly higher percentage of genuine (explitives) in my passport-country, on a regular basis, than here.  That said, in my experience, most "ordinary working people" everywhere are good people, who seek to harm no one.

Hear hear!

I doubt the freedom we previously had to move between countries will ever come back.

I agree 100%.

That's if you want to believe the 'official' narrative .... end of story.

I'm surprised the 'ice' didn't melt in this heat. ????

Money is power unfortunately.

No problem at all ,plenty to do ,tv ,radio ,stereo ,the internet ,Whats the big deal with not going out so much? 

I agree, but there are many people in the world that can't cope with having their lives devastated and find themselves with no money to even buy food to feed their families. Those people should be getting help from the powers that be instead of being locked up like prisoners in their own homes.

Please explain. Your comment doesn't make any sense to me.

I would be more worried if I were a 5g mast ????

True. And that is a whole different topic. IMHO 5G will cause more devastation than any virus, if it hasn't already.

IMHO they are being brainwashed by the likes of Anutin, the Health Minister and others that peddle racism and xenophobia against anyone that is non-Thai. Having said that, there are many Thais that are not fooled by the lies that are being told by the powers that be and the mainstream media.

Nobody knows for sure where the virus originated, however, it is clear that Wuhan was the source, although I understand no bats were sold in the wet market, so that points to the Virus lab as being the chief suspect.

The truth will come out eventually, so until then it is best to keep an open-mind, because whatever anybody thinks, it is just pure speculation.

How much of the paper version of the registration is put in the system..

It's being recycled to make more toilet rolls to stock up on. ????

Ah, the World Economic Forum whose tag line is 'Committed to improving the state of the world.'

I think a better one would be 'Committed to getting the world in a state.'

Judge for yourselves:

Auditioned by who; someone who can do no better than her no doubt ?  When it comes to English they need proper Native speaking Teachers as their own Thai Teachers are near useless !

I agree 110%. However, the powers that be do not seem prepared to pay sufficient wages to attract native English speakers, which IMHO is very shortsighted. Until they do, there will be loads of teachers like her failing the students in Thailand.

I had to phone a customer service centre in Bangkok yesterday for a large multinational corporation, selecting English on their answering system. Eventually getting through to a young lady who asked for my email address, which I gave her twice. I never received the email. Her English was quite frankly abysmal.

The Helsinki based company said it will fly to Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai, adding it was pending government approval, but also to Nagoya, Osaka and Tokyo Narita in Japan, Singapore, Seoul and Bangkok.

I know. 5555 But I do believe in telling the truth!
