What was the context of bringing up 711 workers?  I hope you were not trying to imply she work there which would be impossible without a University degree.  Best to be extra cautious as this is a very difficult time for Thais and many are at the breaking point.  One year ago she may have laughted and kissed you.

Xtrafly I would seriously consider the area called Rawai Beach.  Close proximity to Phuket town and great beaches as well as being one of the few areas in Phuket still lively.  The infrastructure is good regarding roads, internet, restaurants etc.  I have spent a couple months there a short while ago.

Around town anything above 150cc is a waste.  Even the highways put limitations on reasonable cc sizes here given the stray dogs, food carts, potholes and a multitude of unpredictable hazards.  Unless you are lucky enough to live in a sparsely populated rural area with a good piece of asphalt you will find cruising around 80-90 km per hour for safety reasons.  In America or Europe a big bike presents many more opportunities for safe high speed travels.

Our condo pool has been closed since April too.  Very annoying.

But hey the golf courses remain open for the generals.

Thailand’s Department of Rail Transport (DRT) has requested that passengers no longer talk on trains in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

 

As well as wearing face masks and making sure they socially distance, passengers should not talk to one another or on the telephone, the DRT chief Kittiphan Panchan said 

 

Think Different.

almost beyond comprehension... they used to say in the soviet union that pravda could and would say anything they wanted to regardless of whether the people believed them or not because it was all about humuliating them by their inability to do anything about it. i see the same thing happening in the mainstream media around the world.

It’s obvious who dropped the ball on Covid but the blames keeps getting deflected to the people, for breathing, eating, trying to work, trying to exercise, trying to survive. How about somebody in authority organizing vaccines (that work) for everybody like many other countries are doing! Before you know it all people living in Thailand will be told to stay home, not go out and save the country that the leaders have failed to save????

save it from what once covid finishes more people will die on the roads in one month than all of covid...

Meanwhile countless renters are being illegally  charged electricity rates of 12 baht per unit or more and the govt does nothing.  I know a gal who pays more for electric in a single than she does for the unit.

The government has started doing Rapid Antigen testing at three locations today with a fourth on Wednesday. Today they expect to process 1,000 tests per location (results in 30 minutes) but this will be increased to 10,000 tests per day for the four locations ( Nation Photo)

test and you will find same thing would have happend a year ago had they bothered to test rather than beating their chests about how they were the best at containing covid.

Yeah if you are running from the police or army you can.

Do you really need it that bad?

You can expect a store with grumpy frowning cashiers possibly a reflection of the management or ownership. 

Additionally, what baffles me is that many of these who do not adequately maintain their vehicles, out of lack of funds or ignorance, have no problem driving like madmen and reducing their fuel consumption by half and pissing away baht.

The Thai Food and Drug Administration is warning people not to use Ivermectin to cure Covid 19: 

https://thethaiger.com/coronavirus/thai-fda-issues-warning-about-using-ivermectin-to-cure-covid-19

warning based on what it is one of the safest drugs in existence... but it is not profitable and it is not going to make anyone rich

Didn't the Chinese publicly admit a few years ago they wante to resettle Laos with a few million Chinese?

The Click is just the better bike, comparing just the price tag doesn't make much sense. I think both bikes are priced reasonable for what they offer, you get what you pay for.

I have ridden both and don't necessarilly belive the click is any better.

testing is pointless at this stage, everyone is going to get it one way or another, until they get their vaccine shots

or herd immunity

Why? So people in Phuket won't go to hospital - but people in other provinces will go to the hospital ?  I don't think so.

 

Its all relative.

It's only relative with equal testing.  Once again there is little motivation for a thai to voluntarily go to a hospital and  tested individuals are the ones most likely going to the hospital.  Unless we can see testing data the number of daily cases is not comparable across regions.

can you post the testing data for a reasonable time frame between regions here?

good post and there covid rates are likely no worse than thailand with no lockdowns...  i havae always been interested in Turkey with a rich history, good food, good climate, varied geography and friendly people... perhaps i may have a look
