Old Chinese proverb: don’t do stupid things and you won’t end up in tragedy!!!

Or another way of saying this is: buyer beware !!!!

or; there are non so blind as those who will not see.

So the minister has ORDERED these things be done, lets see what happens now.

haha indeed. i have a friend who works directly for the minister of transport, a few years ago we were discussing the dangerous van drivers as it was in the news due to a spate of accidents. i told my friend the minister should do something, she said he had, he had told the van drivers to be more careful(!), and that's was the job done.

Favorite free tool for actual photo edits at the moment. Photoshop EXPRESS (NOT PHOTOSHOP, Photoshop is too techy for me)
(I use the iphone version, but there is desktop too) https://www.adobe.com/photoshop/online/photo-editing.html

For easy and free Graphic design:  https://www.canva.com/

 

i've been using lightroom free for mobile for a while, it's good but the screen small... i've just tried this online version and it's pretty good.

here we were thinking 1200 tourists per month was a measly amount, but in reality they can't even find 10% of that number wanting to visit...

OP when you've been longer in thailand, or have become more aware of how things work here, then you'll know thailand has pretty ineffective sales of goods and services legislation, and even if it did have fit for purpose legislation there is the issue if being able to enforce such legislation in a fundamentally corrupt culture. caveat emptor.

in my home country warranties and guarantees work well.

all due respect he was allowed to continue his column well past its sell by date, he basically reproduced emails he'd been sent and went on and on about nigerian scammer emails. oh yea he also commented on sex tourism. yawn.

Their time & efforts would be better spent focusing on those that want to come back (still leaving at 14 days quarantine).

At present running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

There are enough people that have had or still have long term visas, have money already in Thailand, own or long term rental 

accommodation & would be easy to manage along with spending once back

all true and very obvious, other countries seem to manage it...

so all that fan fare about Thailand have a vaccine a few months back was just buffalo excrement ?

 

Did the HIV cure Thailand invented ever hit the market ?

or the cancer cure from a few years back...

what's happened to the 1 hour 15 minute covid test they developed... any news of it actually being used?

No Chinese has to be the best news.

ahhh... you have to love thai visa; you can always rely on a bigot to peer over the parapet and contribute unnecessarily to a discussion.

results on patients from hospitals in three cities isn't exactly the most extensive clinical trail...

with almost daily changes and/or postponements i'd let things settle down and allow the various government departments and agencies get their head round what's going on before investing any money or time in coming to thailand for a holiday/returning to thailand.

Hmm, assuming these Chinese tourists are actually locked up for 2 weeks what difference does it make what festival is going on outside.

now, now, you're applying logic, common sense and reality to the situation, that's simply not acceptable.

ridiculous, even stupid, thing to do. but then I and my friends did many ridiculous and stupid things at school and university, a right of passage of sorts for those with the immortality of youth...

Tell her not more to do the "open door-lock door" service and pay her, what she gets from her boss for this service.

Problem solved.

good idea, take away her self respect and boost your ego by 'taking care of' (controlling) her. she's thai, she's worked for the company for years, she knows what's acceptable and not acceptable, she's an adult and able to make her own decisions. butt out and let her deal with it.
