believe, I've read here that Thailand manufacturers of the regular paper drugstore masks have quite a large capacity for domestic use.... but those are either all getting used up or getting siphoned off somewhere... Hard to find anywhere,

You'll find them beside all the dicarded plastic bags and <deleted> food containers along the roads.

Happy hunting.

Why don't people stick sanitary napkins on their face?? :)

I've always thought that the so called 'masks' they've  been wearing was just that. Cutted to half the thickness to help inhalation.

2/3 years ago we were told that nobody was going to be allowed to go to Korea unless there was a written job offer or people could prove they were going for a holiday by showing adequate funds, return ticket etc etc.   Does that mean all these people have been there longer than that or was that just another fairy story ?

Most likely they paid 'agents' to sort out their papers.

He said that at the moment his duty as Industry Minister was to handle the drought crisis. He also said that he was not likely to be suitable for the position of Power Minister.

Well, could the fact that it's still dry in large parts of the country have something to do with the transfer?

BTW, 'Power Minister' sounds impressive, why complain? It's all for the salary anyway.

I would love to understand Thai and attend his press conferences.

You'd only be depressed.

I've always liked the idea of homeschooling. Less, or no chance of brainwashing from governments.

Now he has changed tack entirely saying that the wearing of masks is not necessary if you are not sick from Covid-19.

....and if you are sick from it, you shouldn't leave your house/room/hospital before you're cured.

So the 500,000 deaths per year from flu must really be falls from balconies then?  ????????????

No idea, but I think it has something to do with bad/nonexistent immune system.
