Ooooh....little P is getting his even littler pee-pee whacked by the international community today.

And he and his master couldn't give a toss about it!!!

What do stupid farang know. I can do what l want cuz l got guns and tanks!!!

So, you need the full 800k for 3 months. Meaning you need to actually have extra money to live on for those 3 months. After that you cannot slip below the 400k tea money!!!

This is such a great deal which should attract millions of retirees to LOS..... Land of Scams!!!

Mean while the CEO and the companies other heads are driving around in Mercedes Benz and living in luxury!!!

They should be made to pay not just money owed to their farmers but, also the debts incurred!!!

Sorry but, l just can't stop rolling on the ground laughing!!!

How was he not diagnosed at childhood regarding his mental health issues. Retard must know that the minions already know how the military in this country operate.

And yes! as he said corruption is not just limited to the army!!!

The corruption in this country comes from the top down and has been engrained into Thai societal values for more than 2000 years.

In every civilized country the moo baan would forbid the burning and enforce it with high fines. After the people pay a 1,000 Baht fine and know the next one will come if they burn again, they will find out that 60 Baht per month is much cheaper. In civilized countries...

That's right but, here nobody enforces anything so, nothing changes ????????????

It's not really news it's just a tweet by a private person they are just looking for reasons to censor the internet.

They are censoring it already. I have had to either delete some posts after getting some weird stuff from FB, or simply cannot post others!!!

Why will they cancel the VOA at Savannakhet anyway???

How is it that you can get one at Pakse???

I have flown to Savan for the last 2 years now as l can't stand travelling from CM on a bus, plus it's less dangerous too!!!!

WTH!!! A World gone MAD through HYPE and deliberate misinformation. 

30,000 global infections causing 600 deaths. That equals 2% fatality rate...... the same as for influenza sheeple!!! Only real difference seems to be that this virus is more contaigious. NOT MORE DEADLY!!!

The flu kills an average of 1,000 people a day. No one seems too concerned about that. Malaria kills more. 

Exactly..... Oh Dear!!! over 800 global deaths and exceeded SARS 770.

This is hardly the end of mankind is it. 

But, it's making and gonna be making certain people billions!!!

This is a SCAM an evil one at that!!!

Will it be an entry tax on those on SETVs/METV, Visa exempt or will be collected on all non Thai passport holders on exit?

Where are the safeguards and guidelines that money goes into tourist development only? Not used to buy cars for employees of government agencies and Tourist Police

You funny man...... ha ha ha!!!

I do not want to sound like I am defending Anutin. I am not.

 

However, many people on TVF have posted comments to the effect that "if I am not sick, I do not need to wear a mask". The problem is that this virus is infectious for some number of days before a person displays any symptoms. With that in mind, it does make sense to wear a mask based on the fact that you may actually be infected, and infectious, and not know it. It is not about protecting yourself from the virus, but limiting the possible spread of it.

If you are asymptomatic, then you would not be coughing thus wearing a mask will do nothing. However, in this stage your hands can transfer the virus. WHO has released correct hygiene procedures regarding this!!!

Al thai propaganda relating to the virus is made in china.

OMG!!! The Coronavirus was not made in bloody China. It is not a new virus either. It was creayed in a Laboratory that was NOT in China. Search your self under US Patents!!!

I did search but, FB will not allow it to be posted!!!

The clamping down on supposed fake news was actually a result of the WHO organised simulation named "EVENT 201" of which China was a participant. All countries have done the same including Thailand and China for that matter

Why not?

I mean under 500 dead globally in 2 months. With the lowest death rate of any other similar virus globally. 

Can we please stop simply blaming the farmers? They are screwed every year on their yields by the buyers/COMPANY plus the high prices charged to them for seed, chemicals and harvesting by the same COMPANY!!!

Why don't they put pressure on THAT COMPANY to do something about it, OR face penalties???

Got a deal by bullying China into doubling it's US agri imports from 20 billion to 40 billion. In a tariff war that is only benefiting America..... many others are hurting because of them!!!

Australian agri exports to China will no doubt slump as they will have to buy more from the US thus reducing Australian imports!!!

They must of heard a lot of country cousins are only paying 10 baht a month for their service.

The 80 baht included the cost of the large black plastic bags for the rubbish.

Thanks for your input, a sad story, but a common one no doubt.

 

Could you elaborate on the burning ban, I thought it was already in place everywhere, but everyone just does as they please, especially as night falls ?

Our village does not have a ban at present. They did last year though.

I too live in a rural area of Chiangmai so, l understand your pain. The Pu Yai has after 2 years managed to get a rubbish collection service up and running. The sad thing is that out of nearly 200 homes, only 60 have signed up for it. The reason given that they cannot afford it, at 80 baht per month!!! That means that those remaining 140 will continue to burn everything including plastics or dump it in the hills or as one local proudly stated to me "l dump mine in the river"

At our home we keep our plastic and glass and sell to someone. Kitchen waste we compost. 

Pu Yai also tried setting up a parcel of land for them to dump green garden waste to be then processed into mulch. Unfortunately the locals dumped everything else there as well so, project failed. 

How to educate this lot...... No answer!!!

I once placed fallen leaves around some trees in the garden as mulch. I went out, came back...... all gone and burnt!!! I asked why? and they said "dirty" 

I don't know what they will do when this years burning ban comes in. More than likely mass dumpings in the hills!!!!

Maybe it is as you say, but it have never happen to me before, and neve in any of the about 60 other countries I have visited.

It is normal in China. Everyone has to show ID to travel by bus or rail. It's no big deal but, both yes and no to being more big brother!!!

Also when the bus crashes and burns you to a crisp, your corpse will be easier to verify. ????

Tractors and mini cultivators would be great. Finally something positive from this lot. 

Better than back in Australia, where the farmer gets diddley swat, even in disasterous times.

However, they need to stop growing crops like corn and pineapples on excessively steep land. Maybe replace them with say hemp which isn't affected to much by either pests or weeds. It can be harvested 3 or 4 times per year and uses very little water. ????
