When was aspirin approved? Does that mean it also cures covid?

Go try to buy aspirin in a Thai pharmacy  all they have is the 80mg "heart medicine" at stupid prices and hidden away behind the counter like it is a class A narcotic !

1920's great depression 2020's great depression.

They discontinued the live tv ar the end of June. However every single live movie on all of those live channels is available to stream on the app

I'm still confused  what is the advantage of  "live tv"  over

"streamed on demand"   I can only see advantages to streamed on demand  ie:  you can watch what you want when you want  not when some one else decides as with "live tv"

Not to worry another promenade project in the endless series is coming.

More bloody palm trees...why oh why do they hate the huge shade trees that grow on the shoreline naturally ?

I have an idea   the palm trees provide next to no shade  so the deck chair and umbrella vendors have a "captive" market ( when/if the tourists ever return)

the vendors of course have to pay for the concession to  use the beach.

I think Thai PBS  has some English subtitles on some programs  

probably other channels with subtitles too.

There is also often another soundtrack with original  audio    so if the program was in English it will be an English sound track  and Japanese would be Japanese etc    don't think they translate the news though...I'll have a look through  the channels later this evening.

Electric Dreams is stunning TV. Every episode is good. An anthology series. 

If you haven't seen it yet  "Black Mirror"  series   might be interesting too.

What I find unbelievable (cheap) is that the fine is 200 baht for no licence !

Just had a quick look at the PDF mentioned above and its also 200 baht  fine  for not having a bell/hooter on your car/motorcycle/ pedal cycle or  horse drawn chariot !  ????

effectiveness of ivermectin in reducing viral shedding among nonhospitalized patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.

Strange there is no - very little media interest in anything other than vaccines  and how many have been "double jabbed"

My favourite "Pattaya" song

At a 7-11 you can't buy after 1700 which means you can only buy 1100 to 1400.

You can(could) buy from 11am to 2pm  and then again 5pm to 12.00 midnight ( now last orders at 8pm due to Covidiocy)

7 ordinary mainstream Thai channels show the Olympics but not all at the same time:

T-Sports, PPTV, GMM25, JKN18, Thai PBS, NBT and True 4U.

T-Sports  was recently added to the Digital terrestrial TV package

( free tv via an antenna )....maybe since the Olympics started ?

I only accidentality found it a few days ago.

Why is this being done?

Probably because  all the bars and hotels/guesthouses that used to use their service are closed

so they have less customers and now either can't or don't want to pay for those  "foreign" channels.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather spend my money buying DVDs of series

You could try Netflix  and Amazon prime   or one of the Thai internet providers they all seem to provide TV as well    ToT, (un)True,3BB and  AIS.

Or as already suggested just  download what you want from the internet.......DVD's

And yet in other news

In addition the RTP spokesman Pol Col Sirirat Deephor gave details of a product containing Fah Thalai Jone under a brand name called Inthra that claimed Covid-19 treatment properties and application that were not true according to the Thai food and drug administration.

Does this use gps?

No it uses a magnetometer to detect magnetic fields..you can also use it as a metal detector  for finding things like pipes and  wires buried in the wall.

But does mean everyone needs to be vaccinated, as herd immunity ain't going to happen

why ?  most poeple sufer no to mild symptoms, a small minority have to be hospitalised and a smaller minority unfortunately die.

Those who have caught it and recover have at least as much protection from re infection as those "fully jabbed"
