Well, that's a step in the right direction. I wonder how long it will take them to figure unvaxed does NOT mean infected, and that vaxed can get infected and infect other just the same as unvaxed. Some countries around the world have already understood this point and treat all equally.

This could easily win the understatement if the year award....

Try to mock Islam and see how it goes....

And that's the problem. Positive result does NOT mean sick. Sick is a person with symptoms. Most sick people can get over it without any treatment which is only needed for very bad and serious symptoms. If you keep testing healthy and asymptomatic people you'll keep having high "infection" rates. Just stop mandatory testing at schools and work places and magically this pandemic will disappear

I'm not sure they export durian to the US ????

I recommend those who make these decisions read the full research results that Pfizer tried to seal for 70 years + demand to see the all the data collected, including what was omitted from the final "results*

I guess that means they don't follow their own regulations: This is from Swiss website https://www.swiss.com/us/en/customer-support/travel-and-corona/travel-briefing and this is from a reservation system: But it might be the new normal. I know of someone who recently flew to France. The official regulations demanded pre-flight test and a satisfying reason for the visit (that's for unvaxed people, and that person is unvaxed) yet no one at check-in asked for any test results or any other covid related docs, and no questions were asked upon arrival to France.

From the op: The doors were wide open and Samruay, aged about 40-45, was dead inside dressed just in shorts.

Different foundations for injured and for dead. Those who handle dead bodies never take injured and those who take injured never take dead. They do get money for each injured person they deliver to a hospital, and that's why they only deliver to private hospitals. Used to be 300/person about 10 years ago, no idea how much it is now. A foundation I was involved with tried to initiate a fight with another foundation once when I was on duty and they were very upset with me after I successfully managed to stop it before it begun. We all went to the nearest police station and had the police officers mitigate between the 2 foundations. A short while after that the smaller foundation stopped operating and the members joined the rival foundation as per the recommendation of the police.

I think marriage is much more expensive than ed visa in the long run...

Replace the wife?

Maybe 50% of police force is needed to enforce the ban?

So that's what they meant saying no water splashing??

Dropping the quarantine for unvaxed would also help. We all know by now that vaxed and unvaxed people can get infected and infect others. The only argument now is the length of infecting period. Many countries around the world have realized it and pose no restrictions on healthy people, vaccinated it not

Ummm. I thought this topic was covered here by forum members on a daily basis...

I think the law was changed a bit earlier than 1997 (around 1991-2) but not sure about the date. Even before that change, a Thai woman who already owned a property or more than 49% of a business could keep the property without any problems. She wouldn't be able to buy more property nor establish a business in which she held more than 49%. But as you wrote - that law has changed many years ago and I have never heard of any land office refusing to transfer a title deed to a Thai woman married to a no-Thai. I only read about such cases here on the forum. I'm pretty sure it's a misconception of the procedure. Actually any married Thai person - men or women - have to get their spouse's approval to buy/sell property (and same for non-Thais in case of a condo ownership). No problem for single/divorced/widowed people.

"The quarantine period for Alternative Quarantine (AQ) will be reduced to 5 days for travelers who are not fully vaccinated and proof of vaccination is no longer required." can anyone explain this part? If no need proof of vaccination who has to quarantine for 5 days?

The test detects the virus 3-7 days after one got infected. Getting a negative result a day or 2 before the flight doesn't mean the next test will also show a negative result

1. No, you don't need a driver's license nor medical certificate to buy a new car. 2. She rented a car, didn't buy one.

Sorry, phone autocorrect. The Chinese vaccines is the normal, standard, well known vaccines type that has been used for ages and is still being used for all "normal" viruses / standard childhood vaccines.

So you prefer they wait till October? There are no interior not superior vaccines, only vaccines makers with lower or higher marketing power/budgets. Respiratory viruses cannot be eradicated by vaccines, but vaccines are much better money makers than medications, and that's the main reason the biggest pharma companies keep pushing for vaccines rather than develop specific COVID medications.

1. The pre-flight test does not eliminate the possibility to get infected on the flight and your friend can still take the test if he so wishes. A negative result 72 hours before the flight means that about 3-7 days BEFORE THE TEST the person was not infected, not on the day of the test, AND - that person still have 3 more days before the flight to get infected all of which makes that test irrelevant. 2. If your friend catch the virus during the flight, the upon arrival test will show negative (unless the flight lasts 3-7 days...). And that, BTW, means the upon arrival test is ALSO irrelevant.

BTW - a quick search for this issue shows many researchers that day the opposite. Here's 1 for example https://www.ucdavis.edu/health/covid-19/news/viral-loads-similar-between-vaccinated-and-unvaccinated-people

I've taken 1 ATK and 3 RT-PCR tests and came negative in all. Wife took 4 ATKs for domestic flights and came negative all times. A friend who is sick now and feels he has COVID-19 took an ATK that came negative as well. At a local school near my place they test all staff and students every week and out of over 800 tests very few if any come out positive
