She is in a bind. 1:30am does seem like a bad tim e. I guess desperation and a big payday caused this mental glitch. Sad to think she has ruined her life.

So they went back to the same place?

If Thailand really wanted tourists they would have made it a priority to get 70% if its inhabitants vaccinated as quickly as possible. Who is going to travel to an unvacinated country. We have seen how just a few freelancers can wreck havic in Thailand. Imagine 3-4 of these instances popping up every week and Thailand will be in trouble.

Who has pictures of this beauty when she was named B&B?

Like the Denver broncos QB's. Were not forthcoming to trackers. I say stiff penalties.
So they are even using sim card location data. I do say Thailand is trying to do its best . I guess in America the govt let it get out of hand to much so there was no chance to track cases. Plus no pool of workers who would do case tracking work for min wage. When health officials homes are having protesters because they report the statistics and express medical opinions that take freedoms away.

There are many ways to lay tile. Some old school and some modern. It is best to use a good quality thinset. If the substrate doesn't flex and good thinset, of the proper type, the tile should never separate. 1st thing to check is subfloor flexing. Here in US we use mostly wood beams and subfloor. First thing to do is calculate the beam deflection. It should not exceed L/360 deflection. For porcelain tile. Stone needs stiffer. Natural stone is less porous and harder for mortar to stick to. Also cracks easier.

I have only seen crazy tile methods in Thailand and Vietnam. I love to observe building projects when I can.
In Vietnam I watched a living area dining room house tile job . It was crazy. It was 4 women and 3 men to do the dry bed. The women did most of the real hard work. First they did have real survey marks in a few locations and used a water level amd caulk line to mark the perimeter of the room. The boss poured lots of powder termite killer around the outside border. This was a slab floor poured on sand fill of 1 meter depth. No compactor. They did walk on it and hand tamp it and used lots of water. I sunk in 30 cm. It was a bit harder the next morning when they stsrtedctying rebar. And Poured cement the next day. Thwy did have a day where they poured cement beams for window and door headers for the front door and windows . After the termite powder thrown, poured unevenly around perimeter the women made a big pile of sand in each room. Then they poured on 2-3 bags cement and a bit of water and all started mixing. It did have a good dry mortar consistency but I could see the cement wasn't mixed in very evenly. Then they started to toss it to one corner and side. Boss and worker screed it to the line and moved it around with hand trowels. It was proper dry bed thickness of about 3-4 cm thick.. The women were very good at tossing shovel fulls where needed. I have done mud beds . They proceeded across the room and checking with the scree board in all directions. Then they did the adjoining room. Rooms were joined by like 4-5 meter opening. Most people wait till next day to tile. But they started laying tiles right after lunch.
I recall larger tiles maybe 40x40cm. They mixed up a cement slurry. I actually don't know what was in the bag since I couldn't read it. But it seemed like the same grey cement they always used. They mixed it to near water. Not even as thick as syrup. They pored a thin layer on the floor and laid the tile down. They did use a hammer on some tiles. They did have trouble where the rooms joined. It was like the dry pack was still soft enough to move with the hammer. They basically had no grout line and no spacers. I forgot to look to see if the tiles had alignment lobes. Right after they laid the first room and were on the way in the remaining area. Everyone got to grouting. It was non sanded grout . It was in different smaller bags. They poured it in dry. Using cardboard and things to get most along the lines. Then they dripped water on the lines. I was shocked. After pushing excess towards the crack they then mixed up a slurry or added more dry powder to fill the cracks. They left an excess amount on the tile maybe 4-5 cm wide 1-2mm thick. I saw in kitchen that had been done the week before that the grout was the same and had not been cleaned off yet. Not sure how they cleaned off the grout. I can't believe this tile will last.

I couldn't imagine 70,000. The beach resort i stayed at in 16' had a few unwelcome dogs. The signs said not to feed them. They wandered in the resort. By the pool. The eating area, beach. The owner wanted them gone but his hands were tied. I say get rid of 99.99% and then say good job.

Oh and I'm not an English snob but sneaked bothered me everytime I saw it. Sounds like the type of the many mistakes the Thai English major i know makes all the
Snuck is the proper word IMHO.

Great pictures for TAT to use.. maybe some period will learn that the trash doesn't just float downstream and disappear.

So a woman caught it on a 1 hour flight from a Thai woman? And Thai nationals are not being tested before 6-20 hour flights home? No wonder foreigners are showing positive 5 days after they arrive in quarantine.

Got to admit Thailand ???????? sure tries hard to contact trace, clean, test.

Thailand days of being a dive destination is past. Not smart enough, or is it ro greedy?, or is it that even if they were smart enough to create marine sanctuaries it would be poached just like the jungles.

Can get this from just handling the meat. Especially with open cuts
-
So if a foreigner is leaving Thailand near the end of his visa TLT won't let him sell it?
Is it because they figure they will get the car, half paid for, back anyway in one month?

isn't this the case of 4 people who crossed the border illegally? posted on social media. was arrested?
-
I would imagine this type of land is not supposed to be sold. That would defeat the selection criteria.
-
Grab drivers accounts suspended? Do they get paid? So 1 case has caused how many hundreds to be told to stay home no work?
Just imagine what no quarantine would be like.

isn't this statement in itself brown nosing ?
WHO says would be 'highly speculative' to say COVID did not emerge in China
WHO is still tip toeing on china. The first months I followed every WHo comment and live broadcast and they are in china's pocket!!

A yacht will have aircon. Im sure they can order fuel and supplies.

How much are US doctors charging for this form? It needs a stamp? Not all countries rely on little stamps to make them feel important.

Don't need touch less toilets. Just toilets with sinks with soap and warm water. I see all these restaurants washing dishes in tubs using a hose with chickens,dogs, and cats, and rats around.

Many gals tried to tell me they can't take a picture now. I said you have a phone? Or go 7-11 and have them take a picture of you buying a coke can and email to you so you can send me. Basically its a slash and burn policy.

It does seem to spread easily. Just a visa to the bank or Carl's burgers
