Good deflection, but if there were no humans there would be nobody dying. Fairly obvious you have little interest in preventing death.

Quite. I went back early August and attended an RAF related reunion. We had 6 out of 35 attendees cancel at the last minute due to covid.

It may come as a surpise to you but the US Surgeon General has no authority in Thailand. Thai country, Thai way of doing things. If people don't like the way things are done then they should find somewhere more in tune with their mentality.

Deaths per million 3,231 USA 2,773 UK 467 Thailand So give us your version of where the excess bodies went, certainly not into the excess death figures.

And what has that got to do with the wild fires and droughts. Obviously the bigger picture is a bit too big for you.

Take it the term "reinfection" lies outside your comprehension.

Hardly once in a blue moon. In Dec 2011 our wells ran out during my father in laws funeral, caught out, had to fetch water by the bucket to wash the dishes. Bit surprising considering the big flood that year. Between then and 2016 the wells lasted longer and longer and have never run out in the last six years. Since 2016 there has been more and more rain in Jan/Feb, this year started in earnest Feb and has never let up. The way the weather is going it will be the tourists that are the once in a blue moon occurrence.

Obviously in your opinion fluctuations are not a problem. Try telling that to the flood victims, the firefighters, the farmers, rescue services, medical workers etc etc.

When they laid the drains in Chonburi the guys were walking about inside with several inches to spare. I suspect they are 2 metres with Thais being a bit on the short side. Even if your round pipe was 2 metre diameter the cross sectional area would be nearly 25% less. Drains come in all shapes and sizes, only thing that counts is being fit for purpose. https://www.123rf.com/photo_97819015_empty-big-drain-near-the-road-at-thailand.html

They would fit quite comfortably inside the square ones.

Went from about 137K in Sept 21 to around 178K in May 22. Now tell us how many in Thailand for the same period.

Many years ago Chonburi city was much the same as Pattaya, until they put in these drains. I see them now being put on the main road between Chonburi and Bang Saen.

Those that support the unvaccinated are inherently self centred and selfish, a complete disregard for anyone else.

There is an old saying about understanding, or lack of it.

Garbage. The legacy of covid has changed the way many people now live. Moved on to live with covid, not from. If the Thais choose to live with masks, that is their right, or are they to be denied freedom of choice.

Tell that to the 200K+ grieving families in the UK.

Quite, nothing to stop the mozzie getting on the bus. I got dengue from a bite in a Pattaya hotel.

Yes, they have been working on the malaria vaccine for a long time. Oz has the right idea, prevention is always better than a cure.

It found that a sterilisation program of the world’s most widespread disease-carrying mosquito, the Aedes aegypti, could prevent the insect from producing offspring. https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/news/2021/10/new-australian-research-could-help-eradicate-the-spread-of-mosquito-borne-disease/

That will go over the heads of many on here.

It is the only way out, very difficult to try and explain. When I first met my wife in 2005 she had traveled a bit but only in Asia and had the idea that the UK was the best country in the world. Many years later and after several visits it is a different view altogether, ok for a holiday in the summer months but not to live. Still finds it difficult to accept some of the things she has seen, like more people sleeping on the streets of Sheffield than you ever see here. The most recent was in May, having to travel on a train full of drunk football supporters. Just says "how can that happen in your country."

My marriage certificate translations are from 2008, used them many times including this year without a problem.

I have had my account about 3 years, signed in many times without seeing any verification link. If you are getting the account exists message that would suggest the account has been verified, The verification is only to confirm email address. To sign in you need to enter correct email and password and also get the captcha right, nothing else. If the account has been corrupted you will have little option than to create another with a different email. As far as your name is concerned it is not a problem, that is only the profile name for the account. It is quite common for the hyphen to be disallowed as a special character, the underscore "_" normally works. You would enter the correct details and a copy of your passport in the first stage of applying for a visa.

What on earth makes you think they think there will be any more? If the plan was to shut the whingers up, it didn't work, did it?

In a nutshell, YES. It is all about energy prices and turnover, items with a long lead time will take longer for prices to be affected. It will get a lot worse before it gets better.
