  1. The science of the face mask might be 100% providing they were to the required standard, but how many sold in 7/11s etc would stop infections spreading, there was minimum standard applied to face masks sold in Thailand, as I said you might as well put a handkerchief over your face.
  2. I am not anti mask, I wore one when I was required to do so, I am on about the quality of the masks, the majority sold here in Thailand wouldn’t be effective against Covid, paper thin and not regulated by anyone. Did mask wearing stop the spread of Covid, it certainly didn’t in the U.K., we will never know if it did. anywhere on the globe. I could provide links from eminent people saying it didn’t, you could probably provide links by eminent people to say it did. Thailand was very liberal with the figures, it wasn’t because everyone wore masks, people were scared to get tested as in the early days they if fortunate were shipped off to a hospital or a converted warehouse. I am sure in the villages there would be no testing probably self isolation. In the early days yes we all wore masks but as far disinfecting ones hands prior to entering premises it was never observed by the majority.
  3. What’s a Doctor going to tell me, probably ask the school for my son to be exempt from wearing a mask. LBH it was never proved scientifically that masks stopped the spread of Covid more so the cheap and nasty cloth ones which the majority of people wear, might as well tie a handkerchief round your mouth.
  4. He wears a mask at school, catarrh, he doesn’t wear one at W.E.s or holidays no catarrh, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out the connection.
  5. Prior to mask wearing he never had a catarrh problem, on a W.E. It’s never a problem when he is not at school,
  6. Thais were already told wearing masks was not necessary except in places where the owner asked you to wear one. It makes me laugh watching Thai TV 1 presenters wearing a mask and the co hosts. I have mentioned this before but I hope my sons school takes note, he now has constant catarrh in his throat which I am sure is caused by wearing a mask for 7/8 hours at school.
  7. I don’t think the girls are bothered they openly congregate opposite the Police Station on Beach Road.
  8. Been here 10 years and the only real difference in Bukhao is Treetown which might soon be disappearing, I believe the The Beach Club in the middle has closed, rumours are most bars only had a 1 year lease and the rents have now doubled.
  9. There has been a huge increase in the number of ‘’Gentlemen’s Clubs’ basically brothels, Maggie May was a decent bar but now a ‘Gentlemen's Club’
  10. Rumours abound about Treetown, owners of the land who own The Base want to build a condo on the land.
  11. TBH I wouldn’t question the school’s policies more so I keep telling my son not it’s now not necessary to wear a mask but he insists on it, brain washed at 8 years old already.
  12. The Glaucoma doctor prescribed different eye drops for me from my usual ones, after a couple months I noticed my Blood Pressure was near hypotension and my heart rate had dropped below 50 normally between 60/70. I kept nodding off and was feeling fatigued, I checked the contents of the new drops, they contained a beta blocker, straight in the garbage and back to the original ones.
  13. My son has like all the rest of school been wearing masks since they returned during Covid, the kids are indoors with AC, nothing to do with the air quality.
  14. It was announced months ago masks were not required even in schools.
  15. I wish some at my sons school would read that, they were having races in the play area the other day in the sun of course with masks on !
  16. So why are all the kids at my sons school wearing masks all day, he has now developed catarrh in his throat which I assume is down to wearing a mask 8/9: hours a day.
  17. We’re any selected for a random Covid test ?
  18. If the car is registered they will know who the owner is ?
  19. I worked in Kaz, Kazakhs tend to be more different facially more so their eyes, a bit more ‘shanty’ with out being too rude.
  20. You mean Bolt, regular taxi is cheaper.
  21. Rules a bit different from Thailand but still a few hoops to jump through, https://www.solicitorsinspain.com/articles/living-spain-after-brexit
  22. An Entry Authorisation is required, ETIAS, https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/etias/who-needs-etias/
  23. The galling thing is U.K. Passports are made in Tczew, Poland I believe, the actual personal details are added in the U.K.
  24. Always use the Thai when I am with my Thai lady and son.
  25. Because you probably submitted your PP details when you cashed it in or the Pension company informed HMRC.
