    As written that was seen in our area some time in 2020.

    Fortunately today business as usual in red zone.

    I searched for a best example video from a "ghost" mall in Pattaya to no avail.

    Lotus basement stalls and food court all closed/mothballed etc.

    The above photo was of the Pattaya Makro yesterday ( Chonburi is in the dark red zone )

     

     

    Here the South Pattaya Big C a couple of weeks ago 

    sorry for blurry photo I was rushing to avoid the Covid zombies

    upstairs in the actual Big C  "proper" the clothes and electrical department where closed off all the phone shops and small stalls shut but  the all important alcahol department was open.

    Sorry for blurry photo I was rushing to avoid Covid zombies ????

    Are you suggesting some sort of nefarious plot to limit coverage on ivermectin?

     

    Clearly there's some sort of conspiracy here, just come out and tell us what it is.

     

    And how would "more coverage" of ivermectin help?

    I'm suggesting we all try to keep an open mind about treatments that might be useful.

    Some people seem to have already made up their minds that the only way for human kind to survive this virus "apocalypse" is to be injected with "emergency approved" treatments, nothing else will do !

    wouldn't it be nice if there was a cheap already available long term proven safe alternative ?

     

    More coverage of any and all sorts of alternative treatments  not just ivermectin.

    uses the Schumacher technic by using two feet. Me on the other hand I have to be careful in a rented car not to use my left thinking it is the clutch

    Haha  me to   I had to change to only using my right foot for both acceleration  and brake  in an auto

    (as it is in a manual) totally could not use  left foot for brake..supose you can't teach an old dog  many new tricks ????

    And what of your contention that virtually all the research shows that Ivermectin is effective against Covid?

    I have not said anything about Ivermectin being useful or not...just that the media only concentrates on vaccination with little to no coverage of other possible treatments.

    you've really got a hunger for grievance, haven't you? Do they make you jump through all kinds of hoops to actually get it? I just asked and the clerk handed it over. Do they charge you unreasonable prices? I paid 49 baht for a vial containing 50 doses.

    Up until a few years ago you could walk into any pharmacy  Boots,Watsons,Fasino  even Tesco,Big c or 7/11 and find asprin  on the shelf's 10 500mg pills for about 12-20 baht depending on which store then all of a sudden  it disappeared,   when I asked the staff they all said it was just a temporary shortage  but to this day  there is no asprin on the shelf's..yes they have the 81mg pills hidden away behind the counter at silly prices  about 80 baht for 10  from memory  it's a while since I gave up asking  and yes they did question why I wanted asprin..when I said I wanted it for pain relief/headache they pushed paracetamol.

     

    Obviously my quip about it being a class A drug was an attempt at humour !

     

    Where did you get  50 pills for 49 baht ?

     

    A similar thing happened in the UK  asprin  is not on the shelf  but sold from the counter only 2 packs per customer 325mg per  opposed to 500mg  per pill "in the old days"   though there

    are no questions about why you want it..again in the old days  you could walk into Boots and buy a bottle of 100 500mg asprin tablets  without anyone batting an eyelid !

    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.

  9. 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.
