Indeed. Just went back for a look. I definetly got a bit muddled up. Cheers.

Thailand: Domestic gas production? Yes. Mainly Gulf of Thailand. Imports the product? Yes. Mainly Myanmar. Hope that answers your question.

You seemed to have misunderstood my post. I didn't actually address the payment it was about the numbers. Airlines might not know who's who but immigration does so surely a programme could be put in place to share these details and come up with a more accurate number of actual tourists. As for the queues already being long enough the payment will make absolutely no difference as it will be added to airfares or charged when getting a tourist visa if border crossing. Border hop probably have to pay at the border.

It's the CCP and the dictator Xi Jinping. Saw the other day about Russia planning naval excersises in the region. If it all goes pear shaped Thailand will do the usual thing and not become involved. Let's hope China has the sense not to invade Taiwan. If they do do you think the US will roll over and allow it? If they don't it's on and the world's f############. All in the hands of the madman Xi.

Human rights activist and Kremlin critic Vladamir Kara-Murza sentenced to 25 years jail for critisizing the war in Ukraine. Yep that's sure democracy at work. Fantastic example of free speach.

Are you sure Russia pretends to be a functioning democracy? I absolutely sure no one else would see Russia this way. Bit like calling China a functioning democracy.

Only satatistically in this case so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Fair enough but surly immigratin can. Seems like TAT are looking for a way out for their always over inflated predictions. As for the reduction maybe part of that is as many Russians who have already got out of Russia has peaked. Just a thouight.

I think they will get enough votes to lead in their own right. No coalition needed. This should basically tie the senates hand. If the senate does not back Pheu Thais choice of PM there will be big trouble. This of course is just my opinion.

Fantastic stuff. Invoke the supernatural. That should do it. I guess a military coup is good karma then.

And once again I bring your attention that these road fatality numbers are only those who a) died at the scene or possibly b) died at the scene or died within a 24 hr period after the accident. Point b) was told to me by the head doctor at my local govt. hospital. Either way the numbers would be higher.

No such thing as spring in Thailand. We live in the tropics. Hot season March to June. Wet season July to October. Cool season November to February.

Not exactly about which vaccines are which. More about the safety of said vaccines.

I wonder how the dead people who are going to vote can check their eligibility.

Ah! The good old Constitutional Court. Seems they know which way the wind is blowing. I wonder if this means he loses his pension otherwise it doesn't really matter now. Is he running again or does this mean he can't? Don't know. How much corruption was involved when he was a minister and will he face charges?????

I did wear a mask for Delta but when Omicron came in and booted Delta out there really was and is no need. Haven't worn a mask unless I'm forced to for more than a year. Never get jabbed again because there is no need. I would love to see a thread about vaccines though. That would be something. Not sure if we're allowed to even discuss this. Probably still deemed misinformation and conspiracy theory. Interesting stuff coming to light in this regard though.

@spidermike007You appear to have missed the irony in my post.

I have no God. I do not believe in the supernatural. My thought processes are based on rational thought and evidence.

"I do not believe this is a common finding that is occurring," he told Fox News Digital. "The findings of microcephaly [small head size], as well as low Apgar scores [a scoring system used to determine a newborn’s color and breathing] are not common. If they had become more common during COVID, this information would definitely have been shared across pediatric hospitals."

Tragic but obviously very rare. Interesting it happened at the same hospital. I would be interested to know the mother's vaccination status and if vaccinated when they got their vaccinations. I did see that there's a hyper link stating that vaccines cannot cause this but that's a discussion for another day. Not sure if we're even allowed to discuss this.

I agree. I'm 60, smoke, drink, asthma I've had Omicron once that I know of (3 days I was fine and all up it wasn't too bad muscles pains on day 0 was not so good) maybe twice as I had head cold symptoms not long ago (pretty mild, milder than previouis over in 2 or 3 days) and not sure but I think I had Delta a couple of years ago. That was worse and lasted about 4 or 5 days but still wasn't much worse, if at all, than some colds I've had in my life. Jabbed twice with AZ last time Oct 2021 so my natural immunity should be good. I'm not concerned at all. The point that can't be ignored is that experts globally describe Omicron as not severe for those classified as not at risk. I will never get jabbed again and as you know I don't wear a mask. I should say that with Delta I wore a mask as Delta was not good but since Omicron booted Delta basically from the face of the Earth I haven't. It didn't take long for the evidence that Omicron was less severe and even now the new sub-variants are even less severe than the original Omicron.

Ok. Take care.

What's the age and comorbidity profile?

Of course it's entirely up to you but let me suggest thinking about if you need to be further vaccinated against a virus that for the vast majority of people infected has mild to very mild symptoms akin to that of the common cold or even no symptoms at all.

Indeed they would.
