Hub of slowest railways in Asia

Is Thailand the only country in the world that does this? It's hugely draconian.

Bangkok 100.8% vaccinated Excellent work

Yup! This is a major hurdle to any recovery for tourist sector and exports

I guess we will soon find the answer to that question, "how many pills can you fit up a dogs a*se?"

So that would be the total amount of tourists coming to Thailand until xmas then. Hard to see there will be a rush anytime soon

What a load of barracks! You do everything right then the hotel puts you in a van with some random stranger who is found positive, and you also have to go into forced quarantine! Somebody should challenge this rubbish, I would not be going without a fight

This all because tourists like touching starfish isn't it?

Would anyone really describe this as no quarantine?

Don't forget the Antigen test at the end of your first week...

triple post.. can someone fix this silliness

double post

Ooh a treasure chest at the end of your journey. They kept quiet about that.

Yes it was, sort of. Whoever edited it previously left the link title to be El Nino, when in fact it linked to the La Nina page. I have edited it with a better explanation and new link

It was a strong La Nina year *not* El Nino, this year is a weak La Nina year

Very happy we didn't book tickets yet for February. No way am I going to do that while all these silly and expensive add ons are still applied

My inlaws have been trying to get local farmers to go organic, but it's hard work as all the helpful critters have been killed as well. Using tonnes of pesticides is completely ingrained into the psychy now

Never mind what you're doing, stop now, get swabbed and wait 30 minutes for the result.... eff off!

Chiang Mai's turn to be the new hub of infections

So Thailand doesn't accept its own mix and match vaccination regime? Funny that

The variegated house plant craze has even hit the UK albeit more modestly. Still people here are paying £1000 up for a cheese plant! Madness

This is the reason Bangkok invented water propelling boats, don't forget those, a world first!

Elsewhere experts have confirmed that we are now in a La Nina resurgence. Who knows what that will do in Thailand but it will not be like any normal year

Building more roads has worked so well in other metropolises like LA hasn't it? What harm can another million tonnes of concrete do to an already sinking Bangkok?

Not as bad as 2011 but worse than every year since, 2021 is far from finished
