    In typical Chinese fashion they put the entire sign in Chinese and probably only spoke Chinese or would take Chinese customers.

    Classic. This is something you're supposed to get over by the time you're out of yours teens (at the latest!) but so many Thai's never seemed to learn how to handle conflicts. It would be a nightmare to actually work here and rely on these people in real life situations. Blows my mind how people pull it off.

    Until last Monday and then it flipped back. Even getting rains again now. Once this blows through it should pick back up.

    I was just in Pai over the weekend and those dirty pot smoking hippies are going to be devastated if these new rules happen.

    Probably because the people being studied were in their late 70s and 80s where health risks increase each year anyways. Every single time there's some catch or little omitted detail. Not falling for it.

    Thai PBS just won't let it go. It comes in waves during certain seasons. Nothing has changed since 2020 in this regard so why don't they just shut up about it already? We know.

    LOL everyone got it and the government destroyed the economy by closing borders for over a year. Not to mention the cost of needless COVID prevention measure. Total fail.

    It's literally just a tax harvesting plantation at this point.
  10. NorthernRyland
    No, but those things happen outside of this context on fairly regular basis.

    Exactly what China is doing also. Peas in a pod.

    Does this only apply to PayPal accounts linked to Thai bank accounts? I just opened my account and I didn't see any notifications. What ever it means it's just one more reason why Thailand makes it difficult for foreigners living here and people should reconsider. Boomers now retiring en masse now should be paying attention to this in particular.

    What that graph is showing is the people who were vulnerable got ill first and then rates fell as potential victims who were left were more robust. Impossible to say what effect the vaccines had at this point. Correlation doesn't equal causation etc... etc...

    100% chance this is total B.S. These so-called vaccines do nothing to prevent transmission and this is now public and well known information outside of the 3rd world. Sounds like Thailand is stealing US media talking points from January 2021.

    Could have been any of us. RIP.

    I was talking to some Thai guy in a village the other week and he commented on my dog (see the photo) he said he had a dog also and I ask what breed. The guy literally said "oh you know the kind that's really big and likes to bite people". This was an otherwise normal middle aged farmer but he thought this to be a totally reasonable thing to say. Shameless idiots.
  17. NorthernRyland
    The government is staffed by the people from the village so obviously we get nowhere. No easy fixes here without replacing the government with people from another culture.
  18. NorthernRyland
    What for? I think they're just doing busy work to justify their pay check so it's probably best to not get upset about it but it's still annoying.
  19. NorthernRyland
    they're still seriously doing house visits after 11 years?? That's just abusive in my opinion. No reason whatsoever for that. They told me only once at Chiang Mai but we'll see about that!
  20. NorthernRyland
    That's all fine but only one time! More than that implies they think you're a fraud or they're just being intrusive for the sake of it. I would be annoyed if I was the OP.
  21. NorthernRyland
    I'm doing this for the first time in the next 2 weeks (I'm under 50). Not sure what I'll have to do but I need a neighbor witness. At least they said it was only the first year (Chiang Mai). The fact they make you re-apply with a stack of papers (in duplicate!) every year is bad enough without them entering into your personal life.
  22. NorthernRyland
    That's intrusive. It would make me feel like a criminal to be honest.
  23. NorthernRyland
    What does education do if people don't care? Thai people know right and wrong but they don't care. Following the rules is inconvenient so why bother if there are no consequences?
  24. NorthernRyland
    That's hilarious and shows a better sense of humor than I see with most Thai's. I 100% support this. ????
  25. NorthernRyland
    That sounds like communist nonsense to me. No reciprocity between people with wealth disparities means the high and middle is dragged down the level of the bottom. When you go shopping do you adjust the prices to match the annual wage of the employee selling to you?
