  1. On one of the graphs y-axis is the Chinese character 人 which means 'person'. Japanese has 3 systems of characters, which is why I'll never attempt to learn it, with one of them based on Chinese characters (kanji).
  2. ...or "The sooner you are likely to die, the more doses you get" Did they control for age? 🤔 If not, it's highly likely that older people, being a more vulnerable group, were more likely to be vaccinated or receive multiple shots and, obviously, are more likely to die than younger people. Also, was the vaccine compulsory for everyone in Japan? If not, younger people would be less likely to want or need it.
  3. OMG. I hope the intoxication of the driver was investigated. OK the Swedish guy was drunk and stupid but the car park was well lit, the driver had his front lights on, and there was nothing obscuring the driver's view. Hope and pray that the victim recovers 🙏
  4. Only if he fell asleep on his poolside sunbed. Looks Thai to me so possibly Cambodian. Maybe someone from the Thai government should hop over the border and have a word with them about it.
  5. Sent 500 GBP today at 07:53 from Wise app. Sent to my Thai bank at 08:15. Still not showing in SCB app. Maybe their system will update after 09:00
  6. Talkers are more articulate than doers, because that is all they do.
  7. For a native speaker of the American dialect, spawned from the bastard child of the Empire, his grasp of the English language is quite impressive.
  8. The eastern equivalent of the cigarello case 😂
  9. 3 'laughs' and 3 'thumbs down' so far. It's only a small sample size but it appears that half the forum are too dim-witted to recognise satire when they see it. 🤔
  10. I suppose all the world's worst scammers holiday in these countries: Australia, 12 month tourist visa UK, 6 month tourist visa US, 6 month tourist visa Canada, 6 month tourist visa EU, 90 day tourist visa How can people from poor countries get the time off and have enough money to visit rich countries for that long, when the people from those rich countries can't get enough time off visit Thailand for 60 days?
  11. If only the Thai government hadn't extended the visa exemption from 30 to 60 days, this would never have happened.
  12. He may be referring to the fact that Chinese citizens need permission from the CCP to leave the country. There's a reason their immigration dept is called the 'Entry and Exit Bureau'. Possible but unlikely. Probably more to do with the problems in the Chinese economy at the moment due to 'you know what' by 'you know who' and other reasons alluded to here.
  13. Reminds me of when politicians fly into war zones, disrupting the landing of planes full of peace-keeping troops and humaritarian aid; all for their own personal glorification.
  14. Thai drivers are simply the best in the world. That's a fact. If you feel differently you're simply wrong. Facts don't care about your feelings.
  15. Sorry, it wasn't Brazil. That trial involved genetically engineered mosquitoes. It was actually New Jersey, USA 😂 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0108504
  16. Typical Thai response...reactive not proactive. Brazil once trialled a new initiative in one of its major cities. Police patrolled the city, ordering people to cut down vegetation and remove breeding grounds like plant pots full of water. This worked very quickly because mosquitoes are territorial so don't stray further than a few 'blocks'. Unfortunately, the trial finished and people went back to their own habits so the mosquitoes returned just as quickly.
  17. I agree wholeheartedly. The original gay pride flag signified the inclusion of everyone i.e. all the colours of the rainbow. The (progressive or racial) pride flag, like the one shown in the picture, is far from inclusive. It is in fact the opposite...exclusive. It includes transgender, non-binary, intersex, black-skinned, and brown-skinned people but excludes cisgender, straight, male-identifying, female-identifying and white-skinned people and, ironically, gay, bisexual and lesbian people. We call this progress 🤔
  18. Looks like both checkpoints that the Bangkok visa run companies use are open every day. Just reduced hours 8am-4pm.
  19. I just completed this quiz. My Score 70/100 My Time 118 seconds  
  20. Are the papers publishing details of visa status now? Looks like he's well over 50 so could be on a retirement visa or maybe he's been let out to play for a night by his Thai wife. Mr Sven, 52, Swedish national, 60 day visa exemption, was seen pissing in the street in Phuket.
  21. Can't have them taking Thai jobs, can we. The biggest 'grey business' in Thailand is happening at the airports and now they've found another excuse to force people to use it. The new Thailand. The land of self-entitlement to first-world standards and the gluttony of third-world corruption.
