  1. Purchased the same machine over a year ago, and I absolutely love it.
  2. The difference being that the "white folks", as you describe them, have "no visa" and are not here legally, whereas the migrant workers are here "legally" (yeah, I know...)
  3. From the news release: While this project is being promoted as "in Chinatown", it is actually quite separate from the location most people would consider Chinatown, and the location that you would consider having the "uniqueness and character" of Chinatown. So, I doubt there is any real danger of it "destroying" Chinatown. It would be somewhat counterproductive to build a hotel hoping to capitalize on the very thing your hotel plans to destroy.
  4. It is a bit counter-intuitive, but this is actually what we want - a super spreading variant, but one that does not kill you or make you terribly sick. If we had a variant that "crowded out" all of the others, but was less "lethal", we could get past this pandemic.
  5. When I initially saw the post photo, I thought to myself "Why so much luggage at the hospital?" Definitely weird times when a photo at the airport looks more like a photo at the hospital...
  6. No mention of the real source of the initial spike - a porous border filling important pockets. If there really was a lack of infections, as the government led us to believe at the time, then how could these clubs spread what did not exist?
  7. I believe you will find that no broker or investment management firm will allow a person under 18 years of age to open an account on their own.
  8. Exactly. It would be something to see if every single establishment - restaurant, bar, etc. - just shut the doors, stopped paying rent, and went home. Let's see how much the landlords like the absurd policies being enforced.
  9. And a mere 99+% of those unvaccinated people will feel a little sick and move on. Those who are enjoying entertainment venues, in general, are not even remotely close to the high risk group. Doubtful they will regret your lack of sympathy.
  10. Well crafted posts deserve a genuine read. I think a simple pamphlet handed out on arrival at the airport would be cheaper and more effective. A 500 baht fine will get most people to comply. Masks are not the real problem here, so I cannot understand your obsession. I tend not to judge. People who cause no problems, are... not a problem. Apparently these specific people have been causing you much angst. I think you misunderstand Thailand. Street food does not exist for tourists. It exists for Thai people. It is their culture, not something created to generate tourism. Move it to Singapore style hawker centers, and you have eliminated its entire purpose. If you find it inconvenient, there is always Singapore waiting for your arrival.
  11. I have encountered very little xenophobia in Thailand. Personal experience. It is the government that is going broke, and those in the tourism industry who are already broke, that want tourism to return. The average Thai just wants a better economy and a better government.
  12. Contradictory statements. The "complete cultural experience" of Thailand is not some "corporate experience" that provides "the safest, world class, sustainable vacation destination". It is certainly not why I fell in love with the country. Of course, improve sustainability and safety, but we have already seen the destruction of too much of what makes Thailand unique and desirable. "Open minded people" understand there are many reasons people love to vacation here, and not all of them are coming for temples and beaches. There are already plenty of destinations providing the "western standard" of tourism. Thailand needs to retain its character, or tourism will dwindle. Police checks for all foreigners entering the kingdom? They are already doing what is reasonable. Anything more is likely to turn people away. "Severe prosecution"? For masks? Get a grip Anutin Jr. Simple reminders and 500 baht fines will work just fine.
  13. No "patrols" involved. From the OP: Someone, likely higher up the food chain, decided these guys needed to be erased. It was essentially a "service" provided to the organization by the task force.
  14. iParts shop on Sukhumvit 101/1 at Soi 36. Has replaced batteries on 3 of my MacBooks - all between 2,500 and 3.500 depending on the model. Does good work.
  15. Holy smokes! It is must be a nightmare to be your Johnson. ????
  16. The solution is a plastic barrier in the raised garden at the wall, which would have been best installed at the beginning. Politely show them the dampness, and suggest it could weaken the wall causing problems for both sides. Maybe adding the barrier now is still not too difficult. Offering to pay for the plastic would show some good will.
  17. The falling infection rate has absolutely nothing to do with this flip-flop. A slow realization of complete failure is the reason.
  18. I suggest a visit to a reputable dermatologist.
  19. Eleven years, and still love every day here.
  20. The above advice cannot be repeatable enough times. Get a lawyer! Also, make sure that lawyer involves a competent account, as the traps in an existing company's books can be numerous and nasty!
