He, if I understand the pictures correctly

A sad, sad story.  Poor baby unwanted from the start.  The mother is either desperately in need of help, or is the most evil bitch alive.

Whoops! The early morning CSI Nong Khai respondent has awakened.

 

PS. 180 cm is a bit tall for a local don't you think? Pretty sure a quick look at the state of the teeth would also assist in the quick and dirty on-site forensics, no?

Plenty of 1.8m+ lady boys knocking about

I am and have been since the beginning, a proponent of the lockdown to control the spread of this disease.  That said, I fail to see why continued full lockdown is any benefit?  People are hungry, many out of work & by their own announcement 31 (33 now) days without new infection in Chonburi province.  Yes the populace as behaving under the lockdown (for the most part) & I'm sure the govt are loving that aspect, but at an enormous cost to the economy, to individuals and to the country as a whole.  There soon won't be a country left to exert any power over.  The longer it goes, the more difficult it will be to bounce back from it.  Maybe its time to start a phased recovery?  Or would that be too complicated?

A bit of a conundrum this one.  Thailand is obviously not overrun with the virus like UK & parts of the US, the current situation in the hospitals support this.  The government did get off to a stupid start, but within days of Singapore & Malaysia locking down, so did Thailand.  I scraped back in with 12 hours to spare from Singapore.  It seems likely that the sudden change of approach was more likely them taking Singapore's lead, where they do know how to govern effectively.  I'm sure there have been more cases than reported, due to the testing policy, but that said, there obviously isn't a mass epidemic here.  For the first 6 weeks or so, people were pretty consistent in their mask wearing here.  Dropping off a bit now though.  That's the positive side.  The government made two counter-intuitive announcements over the past 2 days.  Firstly - that Chonburi had gone 31 straight days with no new infections.  Followed a day later by - emergency measures to be extended until June 30th.  Which begs the question - why?  A phased release of lock down commensurate with local situation would be a measure that could be tried in a select location/s - here for example (Pattaya), given the good news above.  So why the continuation of emergency measures? We know they don't think things through to their logical conclusion & logic is just something computers use.  Its so obvious to us that are capable of critical thinking, that something doesn't add up here.

And left the baby next to his dead wife!  No need to take this one alive boys.  Do the world a favour.

Someone should introduce the PM to YouTube.  This sounds ever so familiar.

From zookeeper really? There is now more of them sick too.

I believe it is 6 tigers & 1 Lion now

 

Also here they keep harping on the "Animals cannot give humans covid"

Yet do they really know?

 

We were originally told a Bat gave it to a human at the start <sic>

Well if true then an animal did pass it albeit the human ate it but...Probably not raw eh?

So...Then heat also does not kill it?

 

All I am saying here is one thing we know for sure about this whole Covid deal is...

We Don't Know Anything

If it came from animals as previously stated and passed to humans. Logically  I would have thought it likely it could be passed back to animals.  Although I admit I don't know the intricacies of the transmission.  I do know you don't need to eat an infected animal to catch it, handling an infected bat would do it.  This is a worrying development.  How many animals out there have it already?

Anytime you have this level of nationalism taking place in a country, a fall in the country's well-being, and advancement is soon to follow. Just need to look at history to see many cases of nationalism running a country into the ground.

The US just now springs to mind

Obviously another well thought out idea from the powers that be. You can't fix stupid. It would not surprise me if we end up with soldiers on the street with road blocks.

It will surprise me if we don't

I agree with the mask decree.  Worldwide the good sense in wearing a mask is starting to sink in - even in the US where its optional so far???  The rule should apply across the board though.  Thais are just as capable of carrying the virus as foreigners of any ethnicity.  In fact more so if the frequent boxing matches apparently. ????

We all know that the movers & shakers in this country hold their positions based on how much they were prepared to pay for the position, not because of their ability to do their jobs.  In fact it is quite normal for the top dog to be thick as pig <deleted> & their immediate subordinate be the one with the brains, running the show in the background.  The person issuing this decree is obviously of the former.

We're no longer talking  - yet another nail in the tourism coffin now.  Its a tourism mass grave.  All they're doing with the xenophobic stupidity, is ensuring that no one will come back when this is all over.  Som Nom Na - idiots!

Quite apart from the commonsense aspect: poor judgment of space & speed.

 

Something I notice quite often here on the roads. In The West we think of that as mostly a female driver problem ...

In the case of a train in Pattaya you'd have to be completely incapable of estimating speed pf approach.  They travel at a snail's pace thru the city.  Trains are so infrequent, people don't even look anymore.  You see it everyday.  Coupled with a lack of deductive reasoning, which is endemic here (Barriers down means train coming), it's only a matter of time & luck really.

these fabric masks can be up to ~50% as effective as N95 masks which is a big improvement over nothing 

https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/n95-mask-surgical-prevent-transmission-coronavirus/?rel=1

Sorry that's incorrect.  I agree with your sentiment, anything is better than nothing, but the masks you refer to are not (just) cloth masks, they have a non-woven polymer layer sandwiched between cloth layers.  A simple cloth mask is nowhere near 50% as efficient as an N95 mask.  In fact they don't even get an N rating.

The solution is simple & obvious (unless individuals have been banned from politics as well) start a new party...  I have to admit, I haven't followed this all that closely, so not sure of the extent of the ban & censure.

Personally, I think a shorter jail term is needed.  About a week should do it.  Just enough time to arrange the lethal injections.

Guaranteed no re-offending.  Only for those where there is no doubt of their guilt of course, like the scum who murdered Lee Rigby for example.

They don't know, because they were never taught about the 2nd World War. They were never taught it because they were on the losing side. Had they been on the winning side, there would be monuments all over Bangkok.......Ignorance is intentional

W%^kers! Yet another reason to dislike these twisted, excuse for 'human beings'

"They must really think the rest of the World is blessed with an IQ in the low double digits".

No, they just think the rest of the world has an IQ less than theirs. If it wasn't so serious it would be laughable.
