am wondering should we be wearing masks in the photos when we are outside

When the immigration officials cam to interview my wife and I at our home

(outside they didn't come in this year) they took photos of us without masks on...so I'd wager they want to see your faces.

Why would my kickstart stand jam?

Because people get frustrated and jump up and down on the kickstarter  forcing it a bit further than its supposed to go  then it gets caught on the stand  or completely breaks the mechanism inside the engine casing..wretched things  on the wrong side of the bike  "purposely" designed to injure feet by smashing against the scooter body !!!

It has always confused me why they still fit kickers on a fi bike. No batt, no EFI.

I think there is some sort of capacitor that charges up whilst kicking  so the efi and fuel pump can operate without a battery  the "kickers" on those scooter are horrid though   and it takes some kicking to get them started (from cold with no battery) in my experience.

Looks more like a wholesaler to me.

Yes that's right   a wholesaler  but anyone can go and buy a bottle or 2 if they want.

Thanks for that, I was looking for a suitable image,

That particular one has been there for at least 20 years   there are quite a few scattered around the Pattaya area.   I believe though that in the first  Pattaya "lockdown"  and alcohol ban they where all ordered closed

don't remember any reports of  those types of shops flaunting the ban, my local small

"mom and pop" shops did  but eventually they ran out too because the wholesalers ( like in the image)

could not deliver any more.  :-(

I am interested in what a bottle shop is in Thailand. 

They are not much like an off licence in the UK ( except they both sell alcohol)

That's not really beer!

Maybe that 0%  stuff ?

My  local Mini Big C  is on the ball 

they can sell alcohol  from 11am till 2 pm   and then from 5pm till 8 pm

that means no sale from  8pm till 11 am  and  from 2pm till 5pm

The World Health Organization (WHO) said last week the risk of human-to-human spread of the H5N8 strain of bird flu appears low, after seven people in Russia contacted the virus but were asymptomatic.

so it infects humans but they show no symptoms   so we again shut down the whole world ?

He thought the sign meant they couldn't sell between 2-5 !

Yes he was correct   no sale between 2pm and 5 pm.

In fact, you could be out buying booze right now if you really wanted to !

Well no because at 6 in the morning its not supposed to be for sale.

Times of sale are 11.00 - 14.00 and 17.00 - 24.00     so from midnight till 11 am not for sale.

that was of course before the latest no sale from 8pm till 4am    but at 4 am it was already covered ?

The "live" bit being the important bit   the other important bit  being not to share the hard drive over the internet especially without some sort of firewall between the drive and the internet...  sharing it within your own LAN  would probably be ok       in other words disable "remote access"

Are the restaurants legally selling alcohol in Jomtien? 

Are they in Phuket ?

Only one test required to get to Phuket, no biggy.

Not to mention the fully vaccinated bit, and remember if that "no biggy" test turns out positive you'll be spending the holiday in a Covid camp !
