Maybe it's really 'just me' but I find nothing in the slightest bit funny about people getting sick, developing fatal pneumonia, drowning in their own flem, or organ failure and dying a frightening death.
Nobody is laughing at people getting sick, developing fatal pneumonia, drowning in their own flem, or organ failure and dying a frightening death.
They are laughing at the fake time-line.

The Burmese Army was trained by the Japs in WWII. During their occupation the ethnic goups helped the Anglo-Indian Army and were mercilessly subjected to atrocities by the IJA (Imperial Jap Army) aided by the Burma Independence Army led by the murderer Aung San. The Burmese civilians supported and assisted the Japs. Just before the end of the war Aung San switched sides. At the end of the War Independence for Burma was being discussed Many expected the ethnic states to be each given independent statehood - particularly because they had supported the Anglo-Indian forces. But Lord Mountbatten took a liking to Aung San and eventually Britain - to its eternal shame - handed over the whole of British Burma to the Burmese lock stock and barrel; thus making life easy for Mountbatten (Vice-Roy of India) whose only skill was in wearing pristine white uniforms bedecked with a multitude of medals and orders. Look at the mess he made of the independence and partitioning of India ! After Independence Burma soon reverted to being ruled by those generals (eg Ne Win) trained by the Japs. Suu Kyi is the daughter of her father - she pretends to favour democracy but actually want all the power for herself. Clearly the generals didn't see it her way. People in the West saw first hand the atrocities perpatrated on the Muslims of Arakan by the Burmese Army because it was all happening on the coast. Suu Kyi failed to condem this, but the west continued to pretend that Suu Kyi was some kind of democratic godess. But the West kept its head firmly in the sand when it comes to the Shan, Katchin and Karen etc peoples. Things might change if (when) China no longer needs the route through Burma to the Indian Ocean and the west no longer needs oil and gas from Burma. For the last 3 and a half decades the Burmese junta has survived on money from (mainly western) petroleum companies.

There was guy on the TV yesterday.....corruption expert......he was asked where is the most corrupt place?........Nigeria?.......Cayman Islands? .......Panama?...... He laughed!....... No....... London is by far and away the most corrupt place on Earth....everywhere else pales into insignificance
he was so right. But it is beginning to show with the ex-PM 'lobbying' current ministers for favours so that he can line his own pockets.
With regard to the London property market ...... last year there as a full page (maybe only half a page) avert in the Bangkok Post for flats near the Law Courts and Kings' College (London). As an ex-research at Kings, I know that nobody there could afford the Million Pound starting prices. Clearly aimed at rich Thai and Chinese buyers. I expect they are snapped up and remain empty and used solely as an inverstment to be sold at a great profit in a few years time. I would bet that they are sold to other Chinese/Thai invertors in secret deals with avoid any Stamp Duty (10% ?) going to the Uk Treasury.

I understand the reluctance, just look at Vancouver Canada, USA, Australia (and many other places.). The Chinese bought up as much as was available and now citizens can not afford to buy land or home. If foreigners were allowed to buy land Thailand would join Laos and Cambodia as provinces of China. Then locals must rent from a Chinese landlord at inflated prices.
back in the 1970s I rented a house in Chiang Mai from a Chinese man. Everybody called him Khun Chin ...... and many poeple in government jobs read the daily newspaper in Chinese. Up in the mountains near Chiang Rai there was an enormous area contolled by KMT (KuMinTang - Nationalist Army which escaped the commuists by moving south and ended up in Thailand) waiting to invade and liberate China, with ChangKhiChek opening a second front in the east. in about '74 or '75 it was no longer fashionable to outwardly show such strong Chinese origins.

Just wait a while, it's inevitable that foreigners will be able to buy land. Too many families have accumulated too much house hold debt debt, with NPL numbers soaring. Who or what will bail them out, Thailand firmly stuck in the middle income trap and dwindling FDI numbers? It's either QE or relaxing foreign property laws.

Will that not affect the unelected "PMs" bank account in some way? Ask yourself why the Baht has fallen from about 55 Bt to 43Bt since he bullied his way in to power in 2014.

2020. September is record month for migrant Channel crossings
I was about to make this point myself. The most likely source of this virulent form is France ! It arrived in UK carried by an illegal imigrant crossing the English Channel into Kent and then spread in the UK. It has subsequently spread, from France, within the EU. The route to Thailand was probably by someone from France visiting their ex-colony - Cambodia - from whence it spread to Thailand through illegal border crossings or migrant workers. The fact that it is refered to as 'the UK variant' merely acknowledges the brilliance of British scientists in identifying and tracing different strains, not the origin of the strains themselves!

Does this mean a pipeline across or using tanker trucks doesn't seem feasible.
The scheme, which is being called the Chumphon–Ranong land bridge, is particularly aimed at oil shipments from the Gulf to China, Japan and South Korea, according to Mr Saksayam.
So there will be an oil pipeline along the land bridge with plenty of opportunity for massive environmental damage to the marine environment on both side when the inevitable accidents occur. I wrote at length about the stupidity of this plan when it surfaced last year.
Are the potential kick-backs from having a road/rail/pipeline route greater than those from building a conal ?

i couldn't find it either, probably optimistic news planning for the future, if tourism ever returns to Thailand.
This was the closest I could find
The article is written as though you could take a cruise from the Andaman Sea to the Gulf of Thailand at Nakhon Si Thammarat. Unless you sail town the Mallaca Straits and round 'Pore and then up north, you ain't going to do it. This just underlines the importance of having a canal across the peninsula - so crack on and do it. Then this article could have some meaning.

It's not, is it?
It is in Thailand, just the same as prostitution is illegal.

a better idea will be to scrap that stupid FIT-TO-FLY form.
a complete jock.
and clinic will issue it for 400 baht.
There is a clinic in BKK which will issue an approved F2F to people in Frangland and this is acceptd by the local Thai Consulate ????
Every 400 Baht counts !

Hundreds of sea urchins wash ashore Patong Beach
By Eakkapop Thongtub
Hundreds of sea urchins lined Patong Beach yesterday (Mar 2). photo: Patong Lifeguards
PHUKET: Marine life experts are trying to figure out what caused many hundreds of red sea urchins to wash ashore Patong Beach yesterday (Mar 2).
Lifeguards and members of Patong Baywatch discovered the phenomenon after arriving at the beach to begin their patrols yesterday morning.
The phenomenon has inspired locals to turn out in droves to see the red spectacle stretching hundreds of metres along the beach, with some people alarmed by what may have caused it.
Full story: https://www.thephuketnews.com/hundreds-of-sea-urchins-wash-ashore-patong-beach-79223.php
-- © Copyright Phuket News 2021-03-04Does anyone have close up photos so they they can be identified ? Please psot them is you have any.
These mass-killing were usually attributed to storms out at sea - especially if the weather at the beach had been normal. Increasingly that seen to be due to algal blooms (when the sea is full of tint algae) killing them off.

Actually, the 19 century French explorer Henry Mouhot relates in his diaries how in Thailand it was common that travellers staying overnight were offered the hosts wife if he had none of his own.
I missed that little gem ! Must go and read his travalogue again to see where it was happening. Does this happen in Home Stay holiday places ?

In all fairness I think that Ursula von Leyens actions have just showed the lack of consideration for the people living in N & S of Ireland. The damage she has done is totally unrepairable knowing that she can just flick a switch and put peoples lives in danger.
Do they really need an extension, I would suggest not, we cannot live under the threat of the EU using NI as a pawn when it suits them. She has angered both sides of the border now with her thoughtlessness.
