So you don't have a license to drive your own car or bike here because it's just a ticket to bribery, good to know as you don't have insurance that would be usable either.....

Get over what? Oh the choice to wear a mask if one wants. Got it. Tonight we went to a nice restaurant. The mater de required a mask be worn to be let in and be seated, only after being seated could you remove the mask, and if you needed to use the restroom you heeded to mask back up as you walked to it and used it. The tables were also spaced out appropriately for reasons. The wait staff all wore masks as well. Sure the cooks were wearing them as well. Wonderful meal and good service. No one complaining about having to wear a mask either. Walked outside and removed the masks.....

Your in a world of make believe. Tell me then how licensing the taxi drivers, whether its cars or bikes, as well as those vans that transport folks all over make them safer? Heres your answer....well for one they can have the license suspended, fined and even removed from service. How do you do that with an unlicensed delivery person. Oh Wait, your not licensed to drive a car or a bike so you do not have valid insurance if your involved in an accident, the same as the grab riders and others......nice try.

With that kind of a view, why don't you hire my neighbors 18 year old son who has a bike to make your deliveries, or better yet your neighbors kid. Unlicensed to work is unlicensed. Money is tight because Grab does not pay the wages they should, neither do the 6 other companies, yet you do not see them being in the line of fire with DLT.....Food Panda, Line-man, Go-Jek, Shoppe Food, Robinhood, Happy Fresh. Then look at the alternate mail and other item delivery companies such as J&T, Flash, Kerry, Nim Express. Their riders do not ride a properly licensed motorbike either. Everyone should be on the same page and wages should be fairly equal across the board, except for the Taxi riders for both the Mafia and then the Grab motor taxi's as well.

All delivery drivers no matter who they work for transport people and items, and as such should all be required to be registered to some degree by the DLT. It should be incumbent upon the company to register the individual and when in operation for said company have a company assigned type of ID plate upon the bike or car.

As usual you choose to see what you want, enjoy your day, because you are far from correct. and you misunderstand the actual mask use in all of the Asean countries...

It's still normal for the most part, whether you recognize it or not.

I am sorry to inform you that many folks here wore masks, at least in Bangkok before covid. I would always see them wearing them on the RT, BTS, and waling down the streets. The air quality is just one of the reasons why people were wearing them, as well as those with allergies etc... In Chiang Mai I also observed folks wearing masks starting in February and going onward due to the burning season and the air quality as well. In many of the tourist areas you saw very few mask wearers, unless of course the person was sick, but still needed to work and being a caring individual wore a mask. Wearing a mask in the Asean countries has been common for many years, especially in Korea and in China where I have also traveled. Again, you just truly had no reason to question in your mind what you failed to observe as it was not in your purview to do so as you had other things on your mind.

Links and proof to what you write, and verified peer reviewed papers are needed. If you can not prove what you write then your on very thin ground and are bordering on the side of the conspiracy drivel and Antivaccination folks.

There are videos that have been posted in the other OP, and more on social media. Many have been taken down by the Thai minders. My GF has a video which was sent to her from family in Myanmar. Look at the other OP running. Here is one clip for you, since you never believe what I write. Apparently the video has been removed again. You will have to go to the actual link through your browser.

Get me a few gallons of water and convert my car and I will be good to go....in theory at least https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-fuelled_car Water is fully oxidized hydrogen. Hydrogen itself is a high-energy, flammable substance, but its useful energy is released when water is formed. Water will not burn. The process of electrolysis can split water into hydrogen and oxygen, but it takes as much energy to take apart a water molecule as was released when the hydrogen was oxidized to form water. In fact, some energy would be lost in converting water to hydrogen and then burning the hydrogen because some waste heat would always be produced in the conversions. Releasing chemical energy from water, in excess or in equal proportion to the energy required to facilitate such production, would therefore violate the first or second law of thermodynamics.[5][6][7][8]

Long swim ahead for you to get overseas....you must be a strong swimmer.....

No problems at all, the people whose vehicles were strafed needed the extra ventilation their vehicles were given

Same VPN, but I also run everything through the Brave Browser.

Sounds like the app needed a hit of viagra.....

Thanks, I will give it a try this next time.

Just call them Pomelo Shirts or Pink Grapefruit Shirts, they all leave a sour taste in the common peoples mouths.....

Not a big deal? Really, whose going to pay for the damage incurred by Thai folks on the border whose vehicles were strafed......

Thats different, as when I tried last month when I did mine, my GF's and the housekeepers, it would not grant me access to the online site. I have always had to turn off my VPN to access certain sites in Thailand. Even some of my US banking apps require the VPN to be on while my access to the US Government websites refuse to give access as they have security in place that makes it seem like I am hacking into the site and I have to shut off the VPN.

Are you running a VPN on either your computer or Cellular? I have to disable mine sometimes for the apps in Thailand to work just like when doing my 90 day online report.

Today is supposedly a bank holiday, so who knows what's going on.

Probability of having it worse than the poster i responded to is pretty high.......I know my GF and I did, lost our senes of smell and taste as well as high fevers that came and went. We put in over 40kms a week in our workouts as well as swim...she is only 27 and has been vaccinated as well.

Because you failed to pay attention is why....

Think of it as the direct payments to employees that did not work. Companies do not pay in cash to their employees for the most part. Even as an employer for my housekeeper, I transfer her the funds. If she can not access them then it is a problem.
