You need to tell the producers of Chang & Singha ????

 

My local Mom & Pop store has a fridge full of a large selection of beers, not just Chang & Singha.  Whenever I stop by to pick some beers up, the locals are buying beers.  There's more to Thailand than some village in Isaan ????

My quote.was the same as saying the british drink tea.but some also drink coffee etc.I have been all over thailand not just isaan.And you may see thai,s drinking beer.But most drink whisky.You also said it yourself.you were going for beer.How do you know who was paying for the beer that thai,s were buying.Also i have found that its mainly leo.That the thais prefer to drink.Thai,s think beer is to expencive.

The reason locals drink whiskey, known as Lao Khao, is because it is cheap.

Several people can get drunk from one small bottle which is the same price, almost, as one large beer.

The tax is never raised on this 'whiskey Thai' as the locals call it.

A man in the next village died last week from over consumption which is a regular occurrence up here in Isaan.

You think i did not already know this.even those that drink better whisky.take it to a bar and pay for ice and a service charge.Thai,s are not beer drinkers.The reason he mentioned beer.\is so he will tax beer more.Knowing he is taxing the farangs.Read what i said.\\\\\\\\you cannot tell me anything about thailand.I also have a 10 year old son in isaan.

This is rubbish.i have been going thailand since 1985.and lived in thailand for 12 years.And have traveled over most of the country..were there are farangs.the consumption of beer is very high.Thai,s men and women drink some sort of whisky.very rare they drink beer.It is a fact that many die through drinking thai whisky.Which is clear in colour and very strong.So this article saying thai is wrong.

Beer is expencive in thailand because thai.s dont realy drink beer.Unless it is being bought for them.They drink some form of whiskey.

I'm in Oz and a 6 pack of all local beer is around $20. Ridiculous! But the wines are silly cheap ????

 

 

I was thinking of comming to OZ,Better than going to a health farm.When i saw the prices of a beer and the small amount of food and high prices in restaurants.I thought i wont be drinking and very little eating from supermarkets.And going for long walks.Along those great beaches and trails for a month.I had some freinds from oz in thailand.They told me how they are <deleted> off with how expencive it is.

Try reading the article before posting nonsense - read it and you will see the dogs are sniffing sealed cans with sweat swabs inside, so there is no direct contact, ergo the dogs cannot catch Covid.

Try reading what i said.What i said is not nonsense,but facts.Nothing to do with how they are training the dogs in article.

Supposedly it is possible for dogs to catch covid. And if they are constantly sniffing covid infected people it stands to reason they could become infected in doing their job. so, are these dogs regularly tested ? And is it possible to be infected with covid by a covid infected covid sniffer dog ? 

Dogs can catch the virus and get sick.But nobody knows anything about the connection with humans or other dogs or if dogs can pass it.So using dogs in this way is possibly wrong.But its thailand.

Chiang rai is well known for drug dealers.you see so many sports cars there.

A minimum of 5% the vacine does not work.Also many have covid with no symtoms.It only takes a few to spread covid.So having a card to say you have been vacinated .will not stop a outbreak of some kind.insurance companys know this .so covid insurance will be high.Better to continue to try and stay safe.Dont let your guard down.

 117.000 of the british vacine.all going to those in certain positions at the top in thailand.And the rest of thai.s most proberbly getting the chinese one.Are you thinking what im thinking.

Roughly 67 million british people.So 1 in 10 want to come to thailand this year.I dont think so.

Rubbish, how long have you lived in Thailand? Pattaya is NOT Thailand.

First went thailand 1985.lived in thailand for 12 years upto 5 years ago.Is that long enough for you.I had no trouble.But could spend all day telling you of thailand.And i have been all over thailand.And its not just pattaya.So how long have you lived or been going thailand.

Welcome to thailand.This is normal.We are looked upon as punch bags.Nothing will happen over this as normal.He will say the farang insulted him.But if it was the other way.The money bells start ringing.Im surprised its even being reported.Im surprised the cctv was working.only seems to work if its a farang at fault.

How much do I need to pay in order to put the points back on my license after they take them away.  Do I get points added when they scan my QR code, or do I earn points for every ticket paid.  Just a little confused, is this like a demerit system, and will they make me a road monitor for the day once I loose the first 100 points, or will they suspend my license and stop me from driving, which does not work for the general public anyways as most drive unlicensed to begin with...

20,000 baht for farrang.2000 baht for thai.Bribe at road side for farrang 1,500, 300 for thai.And if you are on motorbike.remember you are going to amass points for no helmet even if you are wearing one.So bike bribe will now increase to 500 for farrang ,100 for thai.

Money is always going missing from thai bank accounts.How many families have received money from thai banks when someone dies.?,I have asked people in the past about this.And the thais want you to put 800,000 in bank for visa.Be warned.Dont put any money into a thai bank.Its to risky.

If 127,000 didn't catch it without the vaccine 1,000 would have caught it which is a lot higher than the 20 that caught it with the vaccine. I did make and error in my post the control group was compared to the current national prevalence of 0.65%.

OK.i made a mistake i should have said.127,980.now what is your answer.?

A recent study in Israel out of 128,000 double dosed Pfizer vaccinated participants  20 tested positive about 0.015% and the national average is 0.16% which indicates a sizeable reduction in transmissions and no hospitalisations so far.It's just a preliminary study but a positive one.

And 20 tested positive.how is that positive one.of the 128,000 127,000 may not have caught it anyway.

The vacine does not always work.They claim that 1 in 10 .it will not work.so you need also a clear test not just the passport.so you get a test.if it is clear.you can book a flight to leave that day or first thing next day.you cannot book a flight first in case you get a positive test.so flight is going to be very expencive.And what if you cannot get a flight straight away.and what if someone on plane proves positive.all plane passengers will have to go quarantine.and you or insurance will have to pay.It has already happend were someone with clear test, caught covid on plane or in quarantine hotel.I myself do not trust the thai,s.they will say someone has it on planes so as to fill certain connected hotel owners hotels up.

I do not know why people take cabs from airport.train is fast into bangkok.and all transport systems are linked.even if you are going south.there are buses that are just as fast as cabs,you might save 30 minutes getting to pattaya.
