Do you believe in the weekly Covid case statistics anymore?
DavisH replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand's numbers will come down (significantly) once most people have become infected - not 30%, not 50%....most. -
The vast majority of proper international schools will want you to have overseas teaching qualifications (these qualifications also enable them to get the Thai teachers licence, if needed). The best ones would require work experience in their home country. Another possibility is satit schools that are attached to universities. There was a thread here about that a couple of years ago.

The new honda city turbo 1.0 is quicker than my old honda civic 2.0 (already sold), Th OP should get the ranger raptor with near 400hp (v6 petrol), if budget is not of concern.

Should four-day weeks become the norm to help workers survive?
DavisH replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
My wife works at high level in government. While there are fixed office hours, you will often find staff burning the midnight oil in the evenings and on weekends. I askef my ife why they need to have meetings on the weekends - there is no time during the week, is her response. And with zoom, now she brings her meetings home after hours. She won't even let her staff work from home, because they will be less productive when outside of a work environment. -

DavisH replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Look who had doubts. If she wasn't famous there would be no second autopsy. -
Air conditioner quality, warranty, reviews in Thailand?
DavisH replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in The Electrical Forum
We will be replacing or hitachi soon. Still works OK, but it could be cooler. She search through Thai websites, where most people recommend either daikin or mitusbishi. So we will be taking a look at those tomorrow. -
Indeed, I haven't seen a backpacker type teacher for years. They were very common back in the early 2000 to about 2010. They have mostly been replaced with non-native speakers since that time. There are still traces of western teachers here, but most I know have the full teaching licence now (in my school, anyway).

Teacher assaults primary student because he dared to ask a question
DavisH replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I've never met a Dr here like that, but I live in BKK. Most of them have a good education and I find they don;t mind answering questions. This is paticularly true of female doctors. Just met one yestersay who spent three hours with me doing a neurological study. She was quite happy to answer anythign I asked. If you doc doesn't like to answer questions, find another doc. -
Thy would be considered "personal days" in my school and would not eat into sick days. We only get 6 sick days a year (Private school, and seem to be able to set their own rules), but can easly be extended if one ended up in hospital.

Have you fallen froma boat before? It's not a pleasant experience. I recently fell from a banana boat, with life jacket. It was not nice. I think I went at least 1m underater, and the lifejacket got me to the surface quickly. But without it, I can see problems. And ones clothes become heavy when wet.
-
It was reported that the boat did turn around and they started looking. But it was late at night, and I imagien visibility would have been low.

10 days is a lot for 9 months on the job. Im lucky to take 1-2 a year, and usually none. As for 30 days sick leave, that applied to government workers (so not sure if/how it applies to teachers in government schools. I assume it would, but not sure. My wife also gets 30 days a year. I dont know the last time she took a day off. Using all ones 30 days sick time can cut in to salary raises/bonuses for Thai government workers. So they generally don't abuse that.

Family of South African jailed in Thailand remain hopeful
DavisH replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This guy has facebook and is posting on it...lol....he is walking scot free. What a sack of proverbial. So I guess the police think it her drugs and he has nothing to do with it. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1493543082 -
Thailand reports 25,615 new COVID-19 cases, 40 deaths, 14,641 recoveries
DavisH replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Because it's rounded to two decimal places. -
That is 0.81% since the start of the pandemic. Given Omicron and the under counting of cases, it's likely to be ten times lower than that figure. or more. Havign said that, I did see some news yesterday that Omicron is 3/4 as likely to land you in hospital if you are unvaccinated, compared to delta. So Omicron is not that much less pathogenic than Delta, and still presents a problem for the unvaccinated.

Thailand reports 21,232 new COVID-19 cases, 39 deaths, 16,662 recoveries
DavisH replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A couple of weeks ago it was predicted the peak would be around Mid-March. So I think we have a way to go yet. This isn't going to peak in another week. I would say sometime in mid to late March if we are lucky. The spread seems to be picking up steam, and I'm hearing of more cases close to me getting infected. And I don't know that many people. -
I've seen a few benzes with lexus v8's in them. A search on that in youtube should find some videos. 3uz is a popular swap.

You get more selling it privately, than through a dealer. Dealers will really low-ball you.

I agree, 200-250 is too high, regardless of the kms. I sold my 2004 2.0 honda civic privately 3 years ago for about 220K. It had 250K on the clock but excellent condition for its age.
