Yes... Yesterday weatherunderground was predicting 53mm of rain for tomorrow but now shows 17mm. Because the storm sustem has spread out which is what happens when a system hits landfall. The storm gets much wider but lowers in intensity making the rainfall spread out over a wider area instead.

A member of my Thai family recently made a Facebook post mocking the blatant deception of a packaged food product, cheafly the fact that the packaging was unreasonably 5 times bigger than the contents to make the consumer think they were getting way more than they were actually getting. Someone shared that post to the page of the company that produced said product. The result was they got a visit from the police and threatened with court action if they did not remove the post from Facebook. This is not the first time I have come across this in Thailand. Look at the Andy Hall case where he was being sued for $10 million for breaching anti-defamation laws against a pinapple canning company or recently a farang who complained that his covid hotel experience was terrible and ended up being arrested. In Thailand the truth doesn't matter, the justice system will ALWAYS find in favour of a big company against a mere peasant when it comes to defamation laws. This is a stark reminder that the legal system here contains zero consumer protection rights, it is there to protect the big guy from the little guy rather than to protect consumers.

Has anyone been to or preferably bought a car from a car auction in Thailand? If so, what were the prices like compared with retail used car prices? Thanks in advance. Note to mods... If you feel the need to move this post to the motors section, then just delete it because nobody ever goes into that section.

Where did you see this?... I can still only find bans on a regional basis, EVERY report says it is local.

I am still looking all over Google and i have still not found ANY report that a restaurant drink ban is nationwide. All I can find is bans on a regional level by local provincial government. BKK, Phuket, Pattaya etc..... Can someone post a link to a nationwide ban?

You eat with your mask on do you?

Pubs and clubs are closed, ONLY restaurants left open. With the curfew they are empty by 8pm, not a lot of time for a raving night out on the pi**, also since when does covid spread faster with noise and people being loud and boystrous?.... Where is the scientific study to show this?.... Just breathing spreads the virus. Maybe we need a breathing ban.

You just described something I have NEVER seen in Thailand..... EVER.... Not in restaurants anyway. I have only ever seen the odd person drinking beer with 95% of thais drinking water or Pepsi, also I have never seen Thais being noisy or boystrous in restaurants, they are usually very reserved and I have never seen groups of Thais spewing saliva all over the place. But I have been in the occasional place that has been packed and no amount of drinking would imcrease the cloud of viral particles floating in the air in that case. If that is your idea of the Thailand where you live..... MOVE.

Hi all. I have trawled Google for the answer but can't find it and most results way out of date. I want to know if drinking alcohol in restaurants is applied to just dark red or red zones or is it a national ban regardless? It is by the way, probably the most insane and pointless rule there is, as if someione having a beer with their meal is somewhat causing the spread of covid to increase.
