  1. All my Thai friends know this is due to the seriousness of the illness of the princess. Nothing to do with Covid. I know it’s a common excuse for everything, but not this time. The Thais love their princess and feel there should be no celebration during this time. I have a feeling that Mathew unfortunately may be correct.
  2. Very saddening that he is missing after going out to try to save others. Leave no man behind. Shame others didn’t try to help as well, or aren’t mentioned.
  3. If you’re wearing your mask and another person isn’t wearing theirs then how do you think you are going to get it. I thought the whole purpose of the mask was to protect yourself. I don’t understand the logic here, especially when you’re outside. So who is at risk? The people wearing masks or the people who aren’t? At least I’m glad you can’t get it while eating. ????
  4. It was a total flop in 2003 and has changed a lot since the original 20 year elite card. With possible amendments, an unstable political situation, and the fact that you have to renew it every 5 years and still have to do the 90 day report “with their assistance” makes me stay away from it. I guess if you’re under 50 or have cash to throw away with no guarantees it may be for you. Cost for 20 elite premium is over 2 million plus a small annual fee.
  5. Maintenance is an unknown word in Thailand. They do landscaping very well though. ????
  6. I guess no one taught them the definition of a criminal. Either that or they’re just too damn lazy to do their real jobs. I would like to think drug dealers and murderers are more important to catch, but I guess that takes work.
  7. The Thais are very thrifty and most figured out a way to make it through Covid and now don’t want to go work 6 days a week for a <deleted>ty salary. If the owners want more staff then pay up.
  8. The health costs here are considerably cheaper than the US for both dental and medical. But I don’t know many just coming for that. It may be an add on to their holiday but I guess it is what it is.
  9. Thailand should be giving the US training on immigrant and overstay removals. Of course the Thais living there illegally will put up a fuss about their rights. ???? America is becoming the land of the free loaders. Maybe they can lend them a smart car???? I’m sure that would help at the border. Wait till they see how green the grass is. They won’t be coming back either.
  10. Sad. I certainly wouldn’t want to come home and find that. Poor soul. RIP
  11. Good luck little one.
  12. A good paint job and it will be back in service soon. At least no one was injured.
  13. It’s a start, but they need to educate them first and show them horrific pictures of things that can happen if you don’t use them. Saw some very graphic pictures at a government hospital and if that doesn’t do it God help them. ????????
  14. No one here even wants to discuss this. I can’t imagine what in the world they will speak about at the conference. They need to stop putting stigmas on this topic and start teaching about it and the consequences in early school. They are just too afraid of sex education here. Open up. The kids are going to find out one way or another and many the hard way. Sad.

    Dyes for clothes

    If you’re looking for blue you can do it naturally butterfly pea flowers. Very simple and easy, but Lazada has dyes if you want to go that route.
  16. Kids will always find something and I’m sure sniffing glue is a lot worse. It’s up to the parents and government to educate their citizens, but kinda like talking about sex, it’s a tough one to crack.
  17. I guess they only want married couples to visit. We’ll see how this goes. Hope they hit rock bottom soon. This is ridiculous.
  18. Sad to lose such a beautiful creature.
  19. Search on Facebook. I have seen many advertisements there in the past, then widdle it down to the ones that have great reviews. Good luck. Teak is not cheap.
  20. I had the same issue a few weeks back. Took 3 days. Not the service that they used to offer. Something must be going wayward.
  21. Just one more reason not to vote for him. At least I hope. He’s been nothing but bad news for foreigners and struggling Thais.
  22. Well I wonder if those Thai nominees will get something. I guess it may just be too messy but they have their ways. Time will tell.
  23. Poor guys being pushed way to hard as usual for. Been going on for years. Hopefully something will change soon but TIT.
  24. Sure get another shot of an old vaccine that doesn’t target the new strains. Makes sense. He’ll they should be giving a free pizza once you hit 10. Crazy. It should be like the flu shot that changes according to the strain of the year. More shots doesn’t mean you won’t get it. May help, but no guarantee.
  25. Boy do they hate competition. I agree all should be licensed but still believe that they’ll be fighting that as well. Do your job better and stop overcharging and 1/2 your problems will be solved. Charging double fares for squeezing 2 people on your motorbike is ridiculous. Maybe a little more but double is crazy. I’ll always take 2 if I need too. It’s uncomfortable and dangerous. they do need to cut down on all the baht buses clogging the road and should keep the big buses out of downtown. The traffic is worse now than any high season Due to the roadwork. I suggest the officials get out in a regular car and try getting anywhere downtown quickly so they understand. Not just sitting behind their desks and talking about it. Do something. It’s a nightmare out there.
