At least they can pocket the spare parts budget once it's up in space.

I see nothing wrong if the police are off duty and not using police resources, like a  motor bike.

 

So you're ok with them being in uniform, disrupting traffic, skipping immigration baggage checks, etc?

Amazing Thailand.  Ebola; Covid; next will be lung cancer from its dirty air?

and don't forget the tour de france is coming here also.

As usual the detail won't be worked out until after the gouging starts and confusion results. Greed here knows no bounds.

No one ever said Americans were smart.

https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2022/04/19/how-chinas-sinovac-compares-with-biontechs-mrna-vaccine

Compared with individuals vaccinated with Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty, recipients of Sinovac-CoronaVac and Sinopharm were 2.37 (95% CI, 2.29-2.46) and 1.62 (95% CI, 1.43-1.85) times more likely to be infected with coronavirus disease 19, respectively, while individuals vaccinated with Moderna were 0.42 (95% CI, 0.25-0.70) times less likely to develop severe disease

I disagree. Just look at Thai politicians.

Sinovac vaccines from China were the only game in town in February 2021 at a time when no other vaccines were available in Thailand. It wasn't great but there is no question it saved some lives, let's not knock Chinese covid vaccines too harshly.

Staying indoors also saved lives, as did masks, living up a tree and putting one’s head in a paper bag. The latter was more useful than the Chinese vaccines. 

He may as well run for PM as he's too old to pick coconuts for export.

Thailand 4.0 Proof that incompetence CAN make a difference.

Double pricing for farangs?

A shining example of just how terrific the Thai education system is.

What part of "whack a mole" does she not understand?

What is a Chinese guarantee worth?

Thailand is still running more than 300 new COVID hospitalizations per day (2,234 for the most recent week)... so some might consider their policy to be Smart!

 

 

No need for masks anymore. Daily cases easily handled by existing facilities.

Here in China Mai they are still compulsory if you go into an SCB branch. Stupid.

Why tech savy? None of their tech ever works.

were they picking coconuts?

The Thai economy is already in big trouble. This may only add to the woes. This could have been avoided. Covid was a factor, but a small one. Mismanagement, malfeasance, gross incompetence, fear, hesitancy and extreme cowardice were  far bigger factors in the decimation. All this, despite the numbers being pumped out and likely fabricated.

 

You want evidence of the economic slowdown? Look at the 1000's of billboards nationwide that have remained blank. That represents a fortune companies are unwilling to spend here. 

Billboards are an economic indicator? 555

All high value tourists I see. Not.

Correct. I'm glad you agree.

 

A blatant case of filthy opportunism, taking a tragic incident and trying to guilt-shame schools for not investing in a probably worthless product.

Just as volvo did when it invented the seat belt .....and curses on all those airbags in cars that save lives but cost extra. Just terrible.
