From your article:
Although Sweden was hit hard by the first wave, its total excess deaths during the first two years of the pandemic were actually among the lowest in Europe. The decision to keep primary schools open also paid off. The incidence of severe acute Covid in children has been low, and a recent study showed that Swedish children didn’t suffer the learning loss seen in many other countries.
Yeah cherry picking data is always a go to on this forum. Generally within out reading all of the source material.

Never had a flu vaccine in my life. Had 2 covids and forced to have a 3rd due to the nature of my industry. You wanna keep having covid vaccines every 6 months forever be my guest. I'll let my immune system have a crack. Cheers. And how was I moaning? Lol. You do think Pfizer, moderna et al have a vested interest in selling more vacs?

In my experience I have not met a non-Thai citizen who obtained a firearms license without PR. I'm sure it's happened in the past, but I don't believe that the eligibility criteria in recent times has been a work permit and no PR.
I could be wrong and I am happy to be corrected if any member has obtained a firearm license without PR.
Without going into it, many years ago I started the process and was told pr was not necessary though your point is certainly a valid one. I wonder further to that if at the time of the new legislation, if there are foreigners who weren't pr and had guns that had their licenses revoked. Had to turn in any firearms they possessed or if they got grandfathered in.

There are always 'experts' out there that claim to know the laws but have never dealt with the process of purchasing and registering a firearm.
And yet there are self delusional anonymous fools who think they have the ability to comment about people they know zero about.

You do not need to be a Thai citizen. Non-Thai citizens who hold permanent residency can apply.
If you read my previous post you will see that I said that 99.99% of foreigners would not be eligible. The point I was making is that there is a blanket misconception that foreigners cannot own a firearm in Thailand. That is not the case as permanent residents are eligible to apply. Nothing changed due to the much discussed amendment.
This is the point I was making. Time and time again people incorrectly state that no foreigner can own a firearm in Thailand when in reality the eligibility criteria is the same that it has always been.
Except of course for the glaringly obvious fact that prior to yhe amendment you didnt need to be pr.

There are three main types of license that are issued to foreigners that allow the possession and use of a firearm in Thailand.
The first is the type of license issued to the security teams of foreign heads of government during their visits to Thailand or for certain foreign government staff accredited to an embassy in Thailand. It is for this reason that there is no blanket ban on all non-Thai citizens possessing firearms in Thailand.
The second type of license is issued as a temporary permit for sportspeople competing in competitions. A good example of this is the 2022 IPSC Handgun Worldshoot in Pattaya where there will be over 1,000 imported handguns and also ammunition from dozens of countries.
The third type of license is issued to foreigners to possess and use a firearm in the same way that Thai citizens are issued a license. The baseline for foreigners to apply is that the applicant must hold permanent residency in the Kingdom and also be employed and have a stable income. This being said, the grant of a license is a privilege and not a right so DOPA or the Provincial department may refuse to accept a submission for any reason or no reason at all.
Remember that such a license would only allow the possession and use of the firearm for either a. hunting or b. protection of life and property at the specified address only. The open carry of firearms by the public in Thailand is prohibited, and concealed carry permits are rarely issued to Thai citizens. For non-Thai citizens applying in the third category I mentioned above then it is going to be almost impossible to obtain a concealed carry permit.
Yes so as I said you basically need to be a Thai citizen. A foreigner can not register, purchase nor possess a firearm in Thailand. Example 1 applies to basically no one and is a very specific example not relating to the average foreigner living here. Example 2 applies mostly I assume to people bringing their own weapons into the country to compete. As for example 3 what percentage of foreigners in the Kingdom make PR or citizenship. So yeah you got me on the technicality but to say foreigners can get a gun license is guiding the lily. So for all intents and purposes I would state foreigners living in Thailand ain't able to get a gun license.

I would suggest a ladyboy bar. Might be a good start. Lots of Sukhumvit and Soi 6 in Pattaya would also be up there. All I do know from all the 2s and 3s I have done in Thailand is pick one and let them pick the rest. That is invariably lots more fun than picking 2 or more glamours and trying to force it. For you that means Either let the ladyboy pick the girl or the girl pick the lb. I'm assuming most probably the latter will be the only way to go most girls I'm thinking ain't gonna what to have much to do with a lb, could be wrong though. Often am lol.

It is still possible for a foreigner to get a license to possess a firearm in Thailand. That being said, 99.99% foreigners will not be eligible.
There are always ways and means after all TIT. Having said that it was my understanding that after the last (coup) sorry change of government that it was illegal for foreigners to register/posses firearms or hold a gun license if you have a link to the contrary I would love if you could post it. Cheers. As per:
ban on the use of guns by foreigners.
The amendment to The Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, Fireworks, and the Equivalent of Firearms Act 1947 specifies that only Thai nationals can register guns. Prior to this, any foreigner residing in Thailand could make an application, as long as they held a work permit, a house registration and underwent a criminal record check. Tourists were not permitted to buy firearms.

Serious fines and jail time for having one. However, the registration process is lengthy. Been there, done that. And the prices for pistols/revolvers are about 5 times the price in the West and for rifles/shotguns about 3 time the cost. And even carrying a gun to the range with the proper paperwork can be problematic. It a trip that can cost you upwards of 20,000 THB. It makes it tough to practice.
Foreigners can no longer get gun licenses in Thailand.

I see, thanks for that detail. I talked to him today and he is coming back to earth.. He said he mixed edibles and alcohol and then just kept doing that for days... He told his company he got really sick but they don't seem to be buying it and his boss will see him Monday morning. Trouble coming...
Yeah well it's probably the sauce then. Mixing alcohol and cbd can increase the sedative effect for the most part studies show its actually a good combination and I believe cbd is currently being used to help people with drinking problems.

@starky your first link the children who died were under the age of five and the 2nd link none of the kids died, so as i was sayin a 7! year old dying in a van doesn't add up. and even the parents are questioning the school's explanation. so what was your point???????
Well my point was a lot of children get left on school buses. My s3cond point woild be 7 year olds also fall asleep. If in the autopsy there is some proof she was assaulted happy to issue an apology unfortunately the stats show this could be the same tragic thing that has before. So im not inclined to assume anything.

You gotta really lovvve that nice croissant for breakfast. I spent ten days there for my preservation project, with friends -and something to actually do, it was def on the long side.
2 weeks in Siem Reap would have you examining every last brick at Angkor Wat from all six sides.
However, I did do a month in Luang Prubang and could have easily done a second one.
The best! Well Vientiane only an hour from my place so I'm there quite frequently. At least once a year we head down through Mukdahan with the car and go yhrough that way.That might contribute to why I couldn't do months there? Haven't spent much time in Luang Prubang. On that suggestion sounds like I need another visit. For the most part I reckon about 2 weeks in Lao pulls me up. 100% agree about Siem Reap.

Thanks for your pointless research. Pointless, as this is a forum about Thailand and that this problem happened in Thailand - again. No-one at all has suggested that it only happens in Thailand. It isn't 'Thai-bashing'. It's a news item raised originally by Thai media for Thai citizens, and it quite rightly points out a flaw in the system - again - which resulted in a death - again. But you seem to have a problem with it being revealed and discussed. I have no idea why you invented the idea that we are saying in only happens in Thailand.
Well illustrating the point that it happens quite frequently elsewhere in the world, a lot more than people realise, I don't find pointless at all its a fxxn tragedy.
I have no problem at all. Nor with it being revealed nor discussed. I didn't say the thread was Thai bashing I said you are. And who is we? Are you non-binary? ????????????
Your words not mine
"In Thailand it clearly makes no difference if you have what you suggest or not. It requires said Shotgun to be able to count, which is obviously asking too much."
or were you suggesting that its not just in Thailand it clearly makes no difference? And that the ability to count is a problem elsewhere in the world? It's a problem everywhere whether you, or is it we?, consider it pointless or not.

I don't understand how this could happen. At schools I have worked at in the past, ALL the vans never stayed on site, the drivers would drop the kids off and then leave to come back at 3pm or 4pm to pick the kid up. Something not right.
Yes it must be a conspiracy this NEVER happens

Smallpox vaccine cannot prevent monkeypox infection – Thai Medical Sciences Department
in Thailand News
Posted · Edited by starky
Ahhh Thai science. World leading, cutting edge, ground breaking. How well I remember their cure for aids, cure for cancer, on point home made covid vaccinations. Truly a wonder to behold. Having said that poy sian? Fxxxng miracle.
In other news no a 40 year old vaccine may not be effective but
there a monkeypox vaccine? The crossover between monkeypox and smallpox means that the prevention plan for them also matches up. According to the CDC, smallpox vaccines are up to 85% effective in preventing monkeypox.19 Aug 2022
