Why would you tell him?

 

Many of us who live in Thailand for years had likely situations were we had information which would be interesting for our associates or friends but because it's bad news we don't really want to be the messenger of the bad news. 

 

Personally I keep Information like that to myself. I don't go forward like: There is something I must tell you.

No, I don't have to tell anybody!

If a friend asks me a direct question like if I know if his missus is active with other men then I will tell him. But only if he asks. If he doesn't ask then likely (at least IMHO) he doesn't want to know. Or he knows it already but doesn't want to talk about it.

 

There is no point for us to tell people what they likely don't want to know. And then we are the bad guys for telling the bad news.

...all or any of my friends and associates are encouraged to keep me up to date, as i would them.

...tell him; i wish someone had alerted me earlier too.

..no magic wand here to wave..get used to it, even after the vaccinations next year..so sorry for the traders.

I venture to guess that she did what she wanted to do without caring as most of the Thai girls do. They do it their way without regard for others, nothing can come before shopping and fun.

 

Additionally, I believe they will find not one of her contacts tests positive as it will follow suit with all of the other track and trace cases.  It will be overshadowed by the protests and the need for security as if they let the cat out of the bag it will damage Thailands much coveted view of their own image.  She should be charged with damaging the Image of Thailand, made to wai, pay 50 baht and go become a nun.

..you can't force the poor little air-head to shave her..eye-brows off.

Define innocent. There's a good few I know whom I would put on his list.... no chance of "judicial" justice, if that phrasing works.

I am sure you could add some names!

 

At 5k a pop, he'd soon be rich.

..based on the OPs article; as usual not enough sensible information to form a biased opinion; so one must presume they were innocent.

In the current situation if you were a landlord would you rather take a reduced rent or have your property empty?

I know of a few places where I live and the landlord would not reduce or give a grace period on the rent, 

The tenants had no option but to move out, them properties still remain empty 

One place was a small resort I drove by there the other day the jungle has taken over, the landlord has not maintained it and has a for rent sign outside.

..a close friend, (my lady) experienced the same thing with two premises..talk about cut off their noses to spite their faces..they insisted no rent reduction and everyone up and left, and now 9 months later they have gone to the wall not being able to service their loans..we tried to explain we could all help each other, but they didnt want to hear our idea..that's would-be Thai elitist for you!

...ultra incredible amazing Thailand.

Minister calls urgent cybersecurity talks after leak of 13m e-commerce accounts

By The Nation

 

Buddhipongse Punnakanta

 

The digital minister has asked experts to help plug gaps in e-commerce security after netizens discovered personal data from more than 13 million accounts up for sale on an underground website. The discovery earlier this week prompted widespread criticism of Thailand’s e-commerce data protection system.

 

 

Digital Economy and Society (DES) Minister Buddhipongse Punnakanta said the stolen data includes names, telephone numbers, email addresses, and transactions of customers who made purchases through Lazada, Facebook, Line, Shopee and other platforms in 2018.

 

The ministry contacted Lazada Thailand, who confirmed that the data was not leaked from its own system. Lazada said it is now investigating the source of the breach.

 

The DES minister has invited cyber experts from the Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA), the National Cybersecurity Commission and all e-commerce platforms for talks early next week on ways to prevent the hacking and leaking of consumer data.

 

Puttipong said the DES ministry prioritises the security of personal information and was coordinating with all relevant agencies in a bid to combat the rising threat from cybercriminals.

Saltwater is good for flushing that too. 

 

I've used baking soda and water for decades to cure an acid stomach. It works in minutes and avoids the numerous antacids that are expensive and no more efficient. 

 

For chronic cases and GER it's better to consult a doctor. 

 

For eating loads of peanuts, cookies, and beer together it works wonders I'm told by a compulsive friend of mine ????

..hmmm...what do you think a 'saline solution' is ?

..it will flush out your nasal pharyngeal cavity as will saline solution..that's about it.
