Opportunity to boast about not getting a second wave. Possibly if it arrives they will call it Thailand The Hub of third waves.

Not sure who is boasting, Thai visa copy and paste an article written by a

couple of Japanese people showing a graph reflecting infection rates following

the decision to impose restrictions on the general population.

Bash away to your heart's content but try to do so where relevant.

And yet, only couple of days ago, they have allowed a return Thai person to board a plane with full blown symptoms of the Covid 19 and fly to Thailand, begs the question...

I didn't realise SWA flew to Thailand

Avoid Koh Tao - it's known as death island for foreigners- Google it - run by the drugs mafia with no regard for Thai law. The last place in Thailand, I would even consider visiting.    

There it is......

Tens of thousands of people go there every year without incident.

It may well be ruled by gangsters and of course there was that awful

murder and subsequent bungled investigation a few years back, but

to fear going there because you think you'll be murdered is ridiculous.

Just the opposite, they are doing the community a favour. Dirty, diseased strays, and there are millions of them, are just a health and safety nuicence as well as noise pests. There is nothing socially positive about these mutts along the roads and round shops. There are better ways of killing them than poison but killing them is what needs to happen, neutering is like trying to empty a sinking boat with a cup. Amusing that people get so worked up about the prospect of millions of dogs being killed, when they eat others that are also killed in their millions, stray dogs are just other animals.

Humans are just animals as well, we just evolved and invented religion

and nuclear bombs.

We function precisely the same way as other mammals, we are born, suckle milk,

go on to other food. Poop and pee , reproduce, get old and die.

We just think we're special because we complicated things in between birth 

and death.

Loved enough to give it scraps, but not loved enough to take care of it including VET checkups, healthy dog food (no rice or cooked chicken with bones), and a safe place to live. 

Is there a medical reason why dogs can't eat rice? 

Every dog (and cat ) I've lived with have eaten chicken bones regularly without incident.

Innate heard tales of the bones splintering and choking them, but never saw it myself.

What is it with these headlines? It would seem Thais are rarely responsible for their own actions. Headline should read " Thai woman caught trying to smuggling ice into Japan". You would think by the  OP's headline she was forced into it. She didn't do this for anyone but herself. At any time she could have said "NO"!! The proof is in the pudding, she's going to jail. 

Not many drug mules would be capable of arranging pick ups and drop offs.

They can only do it, and get paid, with organisation from gangs.

So in this case it is appropriate to mention the gangsters.

This doesn't negate the fact that smuggling drugs isn't a bad thing.

Texas is not too bad but their portions are getting smaller from when they started a short time ago and the prices have gone up a little bit.

 

A few weeks ago counted 5 french fries in their medium packet serving.

Agreed. I would do at B+ blood donation regularly if not for age limitation. 

What is the age limit?

Just googled it, under 55 years old for 1st donation (I'm guessing in Thailand)

And 60 is the upper limit.

There are weight and health clauses as well.

Not long back there was a young boy "expert" motorcylist ripping around the Sankhampaeng area of Chiang Mai on a Superbike. He was such an expert that he managed to wipe out two young school girls in Bo Sang.

Cool story bro, but irrelevant to the OP

Hmm from one extreme to the other.

 

The only thing I agree with is she is not his daughter and some caution should be exercised thus should be obvious.

 

As for my own daughter, I have never been terribly concerned about it when she was a child and neither was she. 

 

she is older now and because she understands privacy and seeks her own it is a non issue.

 

If an accident would happen, I would expect or offer an apology and move on.

 

Your indignation is almost as funny as his ignorance.

You would expect an apology if you exposed yourself to a teenage girl?

You're as bad as the OP.

I spent some time with a bar girl a while back, she was a very open minded lady in some

circumstances, but I had some swimming shorts which got very clingy when wet and the

poor girl was absolutely mortified and rushed to me with a towel to cover the offending

area.

Showing your man bits in public or in front of a teenage girl is a big no no full stop.

Fun fact
People here like to wear these to try and protect them from a virus, but when they are trimming/cutting grass they don't bother. 
Seems like going blind is less of and issue than catching a virus... 

I bet you have an impressive wardrobe of yellow vests The richer, "hiso" folk probably

don't do a lot of strumming or other manual labour, so not really an issue.

One of the girls appears to be dressed as a nun in the photo, I've never found

that look particularly exciting and, to be honest, school girl uniforms used to 

excite elderly men seems a bit pervy too.

I have smoked for over 40 years, although haven't had a drag since just before

the lockdown in the UK. To negate the urge I have been taking a few nicotine

lozenges a day.

Given the odd theories I have read here, I may well be super immune to this virus!!!!!

Around 2010, there were over 40,000 farangs with a retirement visa in Pattaya... and that was only those with this specific visa... (that was headline news in the Pattaya Mail at the time). 

 

I doubt that these numbers have gone down since... on the contrary... 

I thought most of these were chucked off balconies by 37kg bar girls or hormone

crazy, yabba addicted lady boys, not to mention the thousands killed daily on the 

roads, kidnapped by thieving families up country for their tiny pensions.

All the above happen so the time from what I read here.....

No money, no honey. She sees you as generous and wants to extrapolate that generosity. I have several gik's (or sideliners) and simply pay them for each entertainment. If you like her pay her, if you love your GF stay away. Personally I dont have GF's only sideliners - life's easier that way and I don't want Cheese Pizza every night.

So what you are saying is that, no you don't have a gik, but a rotation of ladies

whose company you pay for.

I am just very surprised that a country so heavily reliant on tourism is staying closed.

As mentioned, so many other countries are opening up to foreigners.

 

People in many threads here keep mentioning the sex industry !! There is more to Thailand than just bar girls. Plus 95% of tourists are not interested or not in that demographic. They are couples or families ot single female back packers. Tarring every tourist with the same brush only instills more untrue gossip within this community.

Did you not see the name of the poster you quoted?

If you go to Thailand for the girls,boys and others, then you will most likely stay

in an area full of like minded people, so would come to the conclusion that 

sex tourists form a significant percentage of all tourism.

But even a place like Pattaya, I would imagine the percentage of mongers to 

regular tourists is pretty small outside of some of the grottier parts of town.
