Outgoing Thai PM found guilty of neglect of duty over PM2.5 pollution
Chiang Mai Administrative Court. Thaksin country. This is pretty meanigless. How about guilty of disappearing people. Guilty of corruption.

Thailand’s FDA warns against popular ready-to-drink product
Good. Fair warning. Pity is this article doesn't actually show the product/product label. One would think this would be a good idea when posting articles warning about the consumption of particular items.

Karen refugees in Mae Hong Son province checked for COVID-19
Maybe covid will expand. I just went to Loa and no one is wearing masks. Not sure what the Thai facination with covid/masks/jabs is. As for the mkilitary/junta they are war criminals that should be brought to justice.

Karen refugees in Mae Hong Son province checked for COVID-19
Not exactly answers to my questions. Offered vax? What if they say no? Treated with what if they're positive?

So what are the results? Will they be forced to be vaccinated? Will we ever know?

Prachachat party leader automatically selected House speaker
A good choice and wise decision. Minor party within the coalition. Will never need to vote as the only time this would happen would be with a tied vote in the house and this will never happen with such a massive majority.

COVID infections falling steadily, fewer fatalities over past month
and dying with or from is another thing. People die all the time with a cold but it's not the cold that killed them. Might have been enough to push them over the edge though. , Covid's there's now. Omicron now not Delta. Two different beasts. It's now an endemic virus. Again I will say if you think getting jabbed continuously and wearing mask is a good thing go right ahead and do this for the rest of your life. This virus is here to stay.

You are speaking in the past tense and yes I think vaccines played a part. Masks and lockdowns are a different conversation.

Yep. And then Delta came in and kicked the lot out. Virul evolution in work. We were lucky. It could have gone the other way. Now for most people it's (Omicron and it's variants/sub-variants) a mild infection. Still can't believe people are wearing masks.

Quite right. How can a virus "cease to exist" if the vaccine doesn't stop transmission. It's a very easy concept to understand unfortunately so many don't. Pita. Seven jabs and gets covid and can transmit it. Very, very efficient virus and the vaccines can't stop it spreading. Doesn't matter if the entire population of the world is vaccinated if you can still catch it and transmirt it after being vaccinated the virus will survive.

Yep. Good and effective vaccines work. Flu continues on though, common cold no vaccine and covid will coninue to be around. It's a different virus to things like polio.

Ruangkrai Leekitwattana: The political giant-killer aiming to chop down PM hopeful Pita
Not at all rigged then? Complete and transparent, free and fair democratic election? Goal posts weren't moved throughout the process? Well I reckon this is all debatable. You say people want laws but little fatty flaunts his watches and nothing is done. Rich kid kills cop but is not in jail. Family of Prayut corruption exposed but nothing is done. EC and CC were manufactured by a junta to assist in said junta retaining power.

The thing is the CC and EC aren't exatly legit now are they. Set up by a military junta posing as a govt.

Severe weather alert: heavy rainfall predicted across Thailand due to monsoon impact
They really need to post these warnings everday and eventually they'll get it right. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

24-hour Thailand weather shift: Heavy downpours to cover 40% of Bangkok
It's still not the wet season. When it starts it will basically piss down everyday around the same time. Not there yet. The build up continues.
