  1. Are these phones SIM locked to True ?
  2. Let me start with the oldie but goldie "if the Myanmar driver had not been in Thailand the accident would never have happened ! " ????
  3. This reminds me of the ( Not The Nine O'clock News) joke about Colonel Gaddafi being shot in the head..doctors say he will make a full recovery as the bullet missed his brain by 12 inches ????
  4. I suspect it's the low wage "slave labour" they want back in large numbers.
  5. It's just coincidence that the very company that made the unmentionable drug that is now out of patent ( so no money for them) now has a shiny new drug that looks like it will be approved in record time ...how comes they don't need to do safety trials etc before this approval ? It’s amazing how quickly the propaganda factory works too !
  6. I though they estimated tourism was worth upto 30% of GDP ? (pre Covidiocy of course)
  7. You need to look for a place displaying this sign no need for appointment might take a while if they have others in front of you but the inspection itself is very quick mostly they check the brakes are working,headlights,hooter and for excessive noise and smoke..my old bangers have never failed but all the above are always in working order when I take them for a test.
  8. I think its a spin off of the "planking" craze the kids where doing a couple of years ago.
  9. On that very piece of road just before the rider resumes "normal" riding position I saw on of the craziest things I've seen on the road a sedan car came speeding past me and about 200 meters further on attempted to do a ( what I imagine was) full 360 handbrake turn right there on the busy Sukhumvit motorway the driver only managed about a 180 and almost ended up in the ditch to the far right but quickly regained composure and sped off again
  10. Can they also employ "body doubles" to avoid having their brains tickled with a swab ? ????
  11. You have not answered my question as to what fights an infection or virus in the body ...but I will answer your question the unvaccinated are at a disadvantage because their immune system has not been warned in advance so it is possible that the virus gets the upper hand in the fight in some people...however in most people 80% or more the immune system wins and they only suffer no to moderate symptoms unfortunately a small % of others develop bad symptoms and die. So yes "infection is not the same as death" as the body's immune system does what it has evolved to do. You can catch Covid and not die, Do you disagree ?
  12. Is that why so many people are without symptoms and don't die..or have the statistics changed now ? last I looked more than 80% are asymptomatic and less than 1% die. If its not your own body's immune system that will save you what will ? and don't say the vaccine because that is incorrect...the vaccine as I said before and you yourself mention above just gives the body's immune system a "heads up"
  13. Not semantics at all !! it goes to the very heart of the matter which is that the immune system itself not a vaccine fights the infection.
  14. Perhaps it is you who are unaware of the science ? vaccines do not fight infections,they simply give the immune system a "heads up" or warning as to what an infection might look like so that when the "real" infection arrives the immune system is ready and prepared for the fight.
  15. If you avoid infection then you won't get ill, but if you do get infected then perhaps it will be your own body's immune system that saves you ?
  16. Apparently they still have not joined up the systems so there is no points on licence,no impact on insurance rates and no problems paying vehicle tax and insurance despite murmurs that these measures would be implemented. T.I.T
  17. Death comes to us all eventually ! many believe that after death there is indeed light ????
  18. It's most definitely still on Thai TV and radio...Pattaya has been devastated by the covidiocy many businesses closed less chance to hear the anthem as there is just less activity..also its possible that the local "poo yai barn" announcement speakers in your area are not broken but "awaiting repair" ????
  19. Windscale renamed to Sellafield after the UK's worst nuclear accidents occurred there as if everyone would just forget !
  20. Just because they don't report it doesn't mean it didn't happen. I saw a couple of news items on Saturday one from "up north" where a resident complained her house had been underwater for 2 weeks another couple interviewed nearer to Bangkok ( Nonthaburi I think) where resigned to their fate saying "what can you do if you live near the river" and "we are used to it as it happens every year" And another flood victim complaining that the government and army where speeding around in boats causing waves to flood over the sandbag defences and flood her home ( repeatedly)
  21. Yes I was there at Jomtien beach yesterday afternoon with 4 generations of family members for a pic-knick,very busy, parking hard to find I saw no fighting also saw no police or even the "tesakit" trying to move vendors on almost back to pre covidicy normal except a few more people wearing masks and the children's playground/exercise area was still shut.
  22. Probably doesn't have a licence and the vehicle probably doesn't have tax or insurance either...yes crushing the vehicle would have an impact as then he may not be able to make a living either.
