The normal way of politics in Thailand is to avoid democracy and take people to court on corruption charges....which they can do because it will be a cold day in he'll before you can find anyone in power in Thailand who is not tainted by corruption

To read your post I had just one pop up. That is unusual

It seems they are out of control. I can't make a single click without encountering a plane that won't go away. The site is almost unuseable

An airline company that teeters on the edge doing a deal with an aircraft manufacturer that has similar problems?

Taksin's sentencing was political in the first place....as with many other politicians and the like. It is quite normal for high ranking people to get daft sentences and then with a change in politics the sentences are reduced or made more lenient. A total u-turn would mean loss of face for the judiciary or other VIPs... so what is happening is quite normal for Thailand. It may rub against the grain fir those who value democracy, but that isn't an issue in Thailand

So, not their fault then? Outside operators? Doesn't really matter, does it? ...it just must STOP!

Don't quite see how that relates to my comment. However the lack of protective clothing amongst foreigners on m/Cs is definitely a problem.

People who equate violence with IQ are stupid?

So you equate low IQ with propensity towards violence? By your criteria, you could be a very violent person?

It's who owns them that is the problem. Look at the rice and commodities markets in Thailand

Every paper in the UK covered it - this year (week) reters an the Independent are covering it. NY Times Seattle Times even the Financial Times covered it. ...and they have been following it for years.

By the end of April last year 2.4 million people sought hos[ital yreatment for Haze related illnesses. Long term exposure will shorten you life expectsnce by several years. However it is now realised that even 24 hours exposure can bring about both shot and long-term effects. Just because you ge through another haze season without any observable effects, it doesn't mean you're out of the woods.

aircon can reduce the concentration of particles. THe government would like you to think they are better than they are. you can get air purifiers and wear masks (N95/FFP2)

I don't know where you get that idea from - last year there was a huge amount of coverage in the European press.

THat's my road trip up in smoke - literally

Just a litany of conjecture and speculation - so here again it seems that several people consider they are qualified to give a detailed report on this crash des[ite they fact they have been nowhere near the event - even the police won't write a proper report.

What do you mean? It is the reported levels from the monitors - it could get worse What do you expect over "next 3+ months?

Sounds to me like you have bed bugs - who told you it was scabies? and who told you it was dust mites? Dust mites tend to give allergic reactions - typically sneezing, but they do bite. If you have bed bugs, you will certainly see bites but they can occur hoursdays after the initial bite Scabies is easily treated just go to the pharmacist and show them your rash. Furthermore most pharmacists will recognise your bites and rash and can give you a suitable treatment. You might feel happier going to a Doc. Bed bugs are more difficult as some species are resistant to insecticides - however they can be dealt with in most cases without great inconvenience. Be aware that scabies is contagious and can be passed by skin to skin contact

so - Are you suggesting there is no pollution?

error

It is rhe hallmark of someone with no argument that they resort to baseless ad hom. It reflects more on yourself than anything else

It's a national disgrace - the government is doing littlemore than window dressing. It will cost the country trillions in lost working hours due to ill-health and it will seriously damage the tourist industry At present people of influence are resisting changes to industrial and agricultural pollution - this needs to stop.

As I mentioned earlier on Phuket, the largest island in Thailand the SDF using CNVR, has effectively eliminated rabies but the threat still exists via the importation of dogs to market to be sold as pets.. In some countries small (usually uninhabited) islands have have had invasive species such as rats eliminated, but they then have to be constantly vigilant to make sure they don't return....usually via humans. This is still in effect a form of the vacuum effect. It is also why sterilisation and vaccination are so important as ot prevents the vacuum effect and thrn reduces breeding.
