Should never had happened in the 1st place. Only one way to elect the Senate and that's through a national election with no stupid stipulations about who can run. The Senate is for the people and should be voted for by the people.

And selling alcohol at airports on Buddhist holidays won't change this one bit (won't change tourism numbers either) as wouldn't dropping the sales prohibition that's in place for 14 hrs. a day.

Prayut stopped petrol stations, bus stations and train stations from selling alcohol. Alcohol also not allowed to be consumed on trains and buses.

And midnight to 11:00.

No. Probably means you're married so kiss your income goodbye and the 10k will be gone in the blink of an eye.

I would bet my house on the system crashing on the 1st day.

What about the tariffs being imposed by the US and Germany? The future of EVs is not all roses but is certainly seen through rose tinted glasses by the fanboys.

Doing this to increase tourism? Thing is as soon as you get out of the airport which is what basically everyone does on arrival you will not be able to buy alcohol on Buddhist holidays. How can anyone think this will boost tourism? More emptyheaded idiots at work.

How do you explain covid spreading like wildfire in China when the zero covid lockdown was lifted and from what I saw at the time mask wearing seemed like it was at 100%. The virus is very, very small i.e. aerosolized and will spread. Apart from this it's a virus that everyone will be exposed to. Jabs, masks doesn't matter. It's related to part of the common cold family of viruses and will be around for decades to come.

Maybe it's the way that covid deaths are reported/determined.

This was the Thaksin line. To protect the school kiddies.

Thankfully very, very, very few people die from covid everyday here in Thailand. Less than one everyday so far this year.

Since I posted this 2 hours ago 4 more road fatalities have been added to the count. I wonder how many deaths have been attributed to covid in the last 2 hours in Thailand. As I said perspective is everything. https://www.thairsc.com/eng/

Thankyou for sharing the UNICEF data. I'm wondering why you didn't add this bit to your post. "The available evidence indicates the direct impact of COVID-19 on child, adolescent and youth mortality to be limited." https://data.unicef.org/topic/child-survival/covid-19/

How about this one.....

As I remember it was Thaksin that enforced it in 2004.

And midnight to 11:00 am. If this is too much of a stretch then midnight to 6:00 am ban. Nothing will happen. It will not be lifted.

As per the OP so far this year less than one person a day has had a death attributed to covid. So far today 41 have died on the roads and so far this year 7402 have died as of time of typing this post. This is as opposed to 172 attributable covid19 deaths this year and how many of these 172 had severe comorbidities is unknown. Perspective is everything. https://www.thairsc.com/eng/

"Notably" what's missing from this bit of information you provide is any detail about comorbidities. How do you know that the two in the 20-49 age group didn't for example have AIDS and were immunocompromised and as such were vulnerable to any viral infection. You don't know and neither do I because these details are rarely told. Same with the 50-59 age group. Severe comorbidities? No one has ever said that there are not at risk sectors of the population but these represent a small % of society as a whole as do the fatality figures.

I've had both Delta and Omicron. Not sure how many times I've had Omicron. Once for sure. Had some colds which may have been Omicron or may not have been. Hard to tell as the symptoms as you well know are very similar.

Haven't worn a mask for years and will never be jabbed with an mRNA vaccine.

Seems people didn't understand my previous post. The figure of 2.16% comes from the Delta era whereas what we are seeing now and have been since Omicron changed into a basically non-fatal viral infection is a very, very low fatality rate. To say this change is because of treatments and vaccines completely misses the FACT that Omicron and it's variants is essentially a non-severe and non-fatal viral infection.

I notice that the narrative believers have nothing to say other than confused emoji trolling.

More powerful people than him running the trafficking networks and this is why "the war on drugs" has had no success anywhere in the world. Apart from this the reclassification of dope as a narcotic will only support said networks and all the corrupt officials involved. 100% Thaksin at play here..

It's implicit in this statement
