  1. These 2 are not even closely related. Relaxation of Covid precautions means not mandating the wearing of masks. But the flesh eating bacteria is caused by activating germs already present in the skin due to hygiene or something in the air. Perhaps they are trying to reinstate Covid measures for another reason by utilizing this infection as an excuse. I lived in Laos for 6 months. Every month there I developed this flesh eating infection on many places in my body. That happened every month until I left that country and came to Thailand. As soon as i left the country the infections ceased. No other infections have occured while in Thailand either for many many years.
  2. you forgot the chinese
  3. You sound like the American Black man using history as an excuse to allow bad behavior. Blaming everyone else for their history misgivings and expecting to use that to get more than other people. Wake up. They should not leave their country to travel around the world expecting to treated differently than everyone else.
  4. What ever gave them this idea? There is almost nothing to do there during the day. Businesses in the tourist area do not usually open before 10. The only thing to do in the daytime is swimming or sitting at the beach or taking a chance with the jet ski scammers. Pattaya's fame is from their nightlife. Risque bars and massage places and nighttime shows highlighting the diverse sexually thailand has embraced. Not something you want to bring your family to go see. I recent walk down the beach and Walking Street still has many women waiting for you to walk up to them and offer money for their (uhh) services. Not something I would personally want my children, wife or GF to see. Scantily dressed woman standing in front of Go-Go bars encouraging only men to go inside. Thai men shoving pictures of price lists in peoples faces offering shows for sex with animals and other diversely odd sexual behaviour shows that is not shown on the main road. Cannabis shops every 100 meters. Surely this is not what the people of the world see as a world class city. More like a Red Light district city.
  5. I can not believe you support the man to the extent to leave this comment. This man is supporting that a ladyboy, can compete in women's sports simply because he has taken a few hormone pills and chopped off his pecker. How can that be fair competition? It surprises me that there is no comment from the Pope in the news about this declaration to celebrate transgenders on the same day as a holiday for Jesus rising from the grave. This is a very big Catholic holiday. Do not get me wrong. I do not support any political holiday or gender questions nor am I religious. Both are wrong to use this topic politically, but Biden will surely lose many Catholic voters. And sports and sports gambling will be rigged because the physical equality is no longer there when a man that is changed to a woman competes against a real woman.
  6. Maybe he likes the smell of the soap they use. Or is trying to get a gift for his woman without paying for it. Surely it is not that he smells the woman's crotch still to get excited. The clothes are clean and drying.
  7. Clearly they do when they are weighted down by too many wires attached to it.
  8. These underage girls. Most likely go into this knowingly and willingly. Since the OP does not say they were illegals then they most likely also live in the area and go home to family at night. So how can the OP confirm they are forced into this situation? The owner was very bad knowingly allowing the young girls to remain and even accepting the bar fine to take the girls out the way they do in all girl bars. The men, perverted to pay for such services also knowingly should be hunted down and persecuted as well. The families that allowed their child also need to be detained and charged with failing to provide a safe environment as well as permitting their child to go to bars. Being that this has been happening since before the new owner took over the bar. They could not say their child goes out nightly and returns with the smell from a bar, that they had no idea their child was selling sex there. So they need to be arrested also. My guess is that they profited from their child's work as well.
  9. That's because Chinese tourists do not spend money for evening activities except to walk around taking photos of the fun everyone else is having.
  10. So you made a popular post so it seems. If there was a word that uses popular the same as infamous opposing popular then it needs to be done here. To think of what you say is ludicrous. What does their history have to do with how they act as an international traveller here in Thailand. They are the ones supposed to have patience and not treat others like sh--. They are the ones who need to have tolerance. they are guests in another peoples homeland. So they need to be the ones to act appropriately.
  11. isn't being singled out by being forced to be the only ones wearing a mask just another form of branding?
  12. Here in the Kingdom of Thailand, there are certain sort of gaming activities that come part and parcel with funerary rites and funeral processions, for lack of better term, basically the entire event is a funeral. You will see and it is possible to see certain very limited gaming license extended for like a day. There are also events which very occasionally come up where licensure of what's up otherwise to be deemed a gambling activity may be approved for a very, very limited circumstances. Quoted from this link https://www.legal.co.th/resources/thailand-criminal-law/criminal-jurisprudence-thailand/gambling-legal-thailand/
  13. Why would he need to leave the international portion of the airport if changing planes here? They do not look for Thai stamps if not actually leaving the international section in the airport. And he will not be passing through Thailand immigration either.
  14. Excuse me mate? But perhaps you misread. I was not telling anyone what they can or can not do.
  15. Gambling is illegal in Thailand except for during a wedding or funeral. To allow casinos to open in Thailand they would need to change the laws to allow it. Thais already have a problem with household debt, gambling addictions, and borrowing money from high interest personal lenders. Their solution to allow casinos does not justify the problems it will create and will only benefit those who are invested in having the casinos. Perhaps instead they should stop wasting money trying to get legislation to allow the casinos and instead apply it to enforcing the current gambling laws. For crying out loud, they were plenty fast taking dart boards from bars due to their possibilities of being used for gambling.
  16. Am sure those who participated in this farce will vehemently deny that he was not critically ill. And many Thais will believe it. Given his miraculous recovery, the instant he was released and at home. I really want to know who were the doctors and why they do not have a private doctors office for me to visit should i become critically ill. I want a miraculous recovery also.
  17. This should be a lesson to all men using the dating apps to find a prostitute. NEVER give them the money first.
  18. With over 5000 monkeys there they only managed to capture 18 in 2 days. I think they must have captured the really desperate ones that were not so smart. Either that or they need more traps. But I think the monkeys will be smart enough to learn to stay away from the traps in time. What good is a monkey suppression unit that is armed with slingshots? How can they think they would be able to capture those aggressive monkeys after shooting them with a slingshot? The monkey will surely run away if hit. A waste of money with little to no results.
  19. All my kids and wife and myself included have gotten either Flu type B or Dengue fever in the past year. We automatically attributed it having gotten Covid or Covid vaccines. What this news does not state is that while sick, these symptoms are quite bad and long lasting. This I am also attributing to the Covid or Covid vaccines. But I do not think the news or the government will be willing to admit or acknowledge anything of this sort. Even now the government hospital do not have a covid test. When my child was sick we asked them to test for Covid and they told us they did not have any tests for that anymore and for us to go to 7 and buy one.
  20. Perhaps this is Bobs Karma also. 100 years ago They threw him out of Thailand. this time around he is ready to run out of the country willingly.
  21. Maybe it is your Karma.. 100 years ago they threw you out of Thailand. This time you will leave willingly. yeah, i got pickpocketed near there on that side of the street many years ago.
  22. Maybe it is your Karma.. 100 years ago they threw you out of Thailand. This time you will leave willingly.
  23. Why say again? Do you think it has ever stopped? These TukTuks are notorious doing this type of scam to foreigners. They have been doing it for many many years.
  24. They may be part of it.. But that is uncontrollable in Thailand. However to take no action at all and even to refuse making it a disaster zone for breathing simply due to a possible loss of tourist dollars is irresponsible. If he is unwilling to be part of the solution and uncaring about the people who come or live there then why is he still the PM? He is only part of the problem that will create even more problems in the future. I wonder what would happen if someone filed a lawsuit against the PM for his failure to warn people by making it a disaster zone for breathing. Suing them for failing to act that caused even more sickness or death. Even a tourist could do that I suppose if the conditions existed.
