  1. "Both sustained multiple gunshot wounds".... could've been one of the best movie scenes of all time!
  2. What are they on about? XBB1.5 may be more contagious than previous strains, but it's less serious, no worse than a common cold. People are better off catching this strain than not, because it gives natural immunity, which is more effective than the latest vaccines. Bivalent vaccine is a mix of 25mg/25mg of the original vaccine for the Wuhan virus, and "new" vaccine for BA4/BA5, all of which have disappeared. Why does the medical profession persist with these lies?
  3. Test the Chinese before leaving...if positive, keep them out. Problem solved.....
  4. "passengers will be advised how they can get coverage"...!! Just another opportunity for corruption....
  5. I would suggest tourists stay well away from this stuff....even if it's claimed to be 0.2%, big fines await those silly enough to indulge.
  6. What does "organic" mean in the context of cultivating cannabis? Does it mean not hydroponic? I'm asking because someone I know used hydroponic cannabis and developed severe schizophrenic behaviours.....
  7. Not 100% certain.....could've caught it from a person who visited the clinic, or anybody in public who breathed on him, or in the vicinity...
  8. I thought the Government passed an edict to stop passengers riding on the back tray of pick up trucks. Thailand are so far behind the civilised world on this sort of thing, it's ridiculous......
  9. Very obvious how bad the education system is in Thailand when talking to people.....no knowledge of the outside world, no understanding of basic science and mechanics, and worst of all.....no curiosity about anything.
  10. Looking for an isolated cave to spend the last 20 years of my life in quiet contemplation.....
  11. Shameful and cowardly.....economy and tourist dollars more important than human rights...and they call themselves Buddhists.
  12. What's the point of reducing insurance cover to $20,000, if the insurance doesn't pay for forced hospital admission? The insurance requirement needs to be removed before I consider returning.....
  13. Might save a few dollars if insurance cover is dropped to US$20,000, but we still run the risk of being sent to Hospital then paying up to 300,000baht for a false alarm, with no insurance payout....
  14. A Thai doctor making statements based on his interpretation of a British Medical report, quoting relative percentages without giving the base data...........sorry, no credibility.
  15. Seen this so often in Thailand.....vicious dogs, locked up in cages, used as burglar deterrents. No consideration for animal welfare. Another example of hypocritical Thai culture......
  16. Something looks wrong here "Motorcycles accounted for 86.6% of all accidents, but pickup trucks 5.8% and private vehicles 3.7%" Most of the gruesome pictures we see on the net appear to involve collisions between motorcycles and vehicles, and normal practice is to blame the larger of the 2, ie the cars & trucks. Hard to imagine all those motorcycle accidents were self inflicted, even if the riders were drunk. So, wouldn't a more realistic breakdown show something like 50/50 distribution? Wondering what analysis is done by the authorities on accident causes.....probably none, since things haven't changed for years....
  17. As much as I love Thailand, the risk of being exposed or infected by someone on the plane, or of getting a false positive PCR test, is too great, considering the consequences .....extended quarantine or a stay in hospital at the Thai Authorities' pleasure, at my expense. Looks like another wasted year, which I can ill afford at the age of 77 !
  18. Motherhood statements won't do much....they need to actually do something..... According to their own statistics, around 70% of fatalities are due to motorcycle accidents. So maybe a bit of education, enforcement of licences, helmets, numbers of riders on one bike, road rules and confiscation of licences /bikes for serious offenders. Who knows, they might reduce the road toll by 50% !
