No, anybody can not watch porn in TH.
The majority of porn websites are blocked and can only be accessed if you have a VPN service.
Completely agree on the other three items.

Many sites are still accessible without a VPN. Maybe not the well-known free sites like PH, but websites of most producing companies are easily accessed. That's what my friend told me.

I'm sure he isn't and is trying to be provocative.

 

The results of the poll seem clear. About 50% in favour opening schools regardless of risk. ????

I am a teacher and I don't mind online teaching. Gives me much more free time. Thank you.

Always thought that.....you can so much done without students......all those crazy schemes management dream up, but tell you, you have to implement them.

Online schools are the future. Mark my words.

In Phuket my Thai grand daughter was due to return to school  full time today.  She had been going part time. All students were tested last Thurs/Friday. Results arrived by email over the weekend that 8  had returned positive results . Almost all the students under 11 remain unvaxed. School is again closed.

That's why I'm sayin, as a teacher, keep the schools closed. Now, tomorrow, maybe forever. This thing aint gonna blow over anytime soon and a new wave is approaching fast.

Like I told my students before: the best classroom is one without any students

What good is opening the border unilaterally when Malaysia still doesn't allow foreign tourists?

As a teacher I worry that the school reopening would be reversed pretty quickly. I prefer the schools, including mine, to stay closed indefinitely.

Nick Dean and many of his colleagues are strong-minded folks and will come out stronger and wealthier of this situation!

Beach is as low risk as you can get though

That's probably why the beaches and the parks in my province in the deep south are still closed since six months.

We already corrected the Pattaya News wrong information and they already updated their report.

The information I copy-pasted from their site is still in the article.  You had better contact AJ again.

Keeping this airline is business is only because of not wanting to lose face.

Oh, and to cater to The German and The General.

Pattayanews updated the news yesterday. Pax are allowed but must be double vaccinated.

It clearly states on the website that pax are not allowed.

I read on The Pattaya News that there's gonna be no passengers until further notice. Then what's the point?

Songkhla will stay dark red until at least January and Covid restrictions are there to stay.

At the earliest on December 1.

If you haven't paid attention, the number of incidents is at an historical low. Things are definitely looking up here.

Yes its a clear example of the vaccine inequity in Thailand, the Southern Border Provinces had a bad deal and this in turn meant the virus surged and the students again miss out on education. I hear there was also some vaccine hesitancy down there?

Most people in the area don't trust the government due to tragedies like the Tak Bai Massacre and the mistreatment of citizens, among others. If you don't trust someone, would you willingly take his vaccine?

Meanwhile, the far southern provinces keep getting battered by the virus.

Southerners, prepare for many more months of school closures and curfews!

I hope this ferry is a success. Many alternatives to the rather challenging highways here are needed. That is an absolutely horrendous trip by land. And it has to be timed perfectly to get through Bangkok. Likely a two day trip. I would take this ferry if I was living in the south. 

I live in the Deep South (Narathiwat) and I will keep taking airplanes instead. Cars may be rented in Bangkok. Taking this ferry would be a one-time thing, but I see no reason to use it more than once.

I have spent time in (R)Hat Yai & Songkla.  I accept most Muslims are fine & dandy (spent months in Brunei).  It's the few which are not nice & friendly that the public worry about - it's those that the media write about.

You undo the thrust of your riposte with 'most is fine and dandy.'

Songkhla in particular has only seen very few attacks. Worrying about terrorism should be the least of your worries. So, yes, most is certainly fine.

The curtain is gonna fall for MANY bars very soon. It's unavoidable.

Why would anyone want to travel 20 hours to visit a place where Muslim terrorists are active?

You clearly don't know what you're talking about bro. Have you ever been down south yourself?
I have lived in one of those provinces for many years and most is fine and dandy. Don't believe the media.
The muslims are nice and friendly and I got absolutely no beef with em, you know what I'm sayin?
