COVID-19 infections in Thailand could surge to 10,000 a day next week, CCSA says  

Great,And Who are the smart (Not) People who want to open the country? 

The whole country was in lockdown with only a Fraction of the infected/dead people from covid . 

Is  this Thai Logic? they've got it back to front .

I love the statement “you just don’t live in the real world”…. Isn’t thailand the real world?

 

Putting all the stray dogs down is not a solution for the Thai culture…creative solutions need to be found with the Thai cultural framework - incentivize ownership and taking care….sterilizing should be an overwhelming theme for the unwanted and an ongoing effort….tracking all dogs they a chipping system 

 

putting a dog down should be only for past violent behavior or diseased and have an assessment system for each dog…and that has to be signed off by the authorities and local communities…

 

and more training about how to bring dogs into  and build the value of dogs within the local community..

 

very little information about dogs here as service dogs, therapy dogs companion dogs police dogs search and rescue dogs family dogs etc

 

basically non existent about the value they could serve within the    local community….need to build that image and relationship

Maybe it's not a solution for the thai culture but it works in western countries. 

As for putting Down dogs  as yoy say only for past behavier or diseased . For me that Included All roaming  flea bitten tic covered mange ridden snarling Soi dogs.

That's what they are that's why they Need to be culled to stop them all together.

You feel intelligent making cruel statements about killing dogs?

It wont work! They are territorial more will just move in. They need to be constantly managed. moved to shelters and sterilized. 

I am not making cruel statements ,I am stating a Fact .

This is what happens in Aus  An ongoing Dog catching and Culling after a certain time  . Sterilisation is a No go If they get Sterilised they go and run wild again .

You just don't know what's happening in the Real world.

Thai man shoots friend over a 5,000 debt unpaid for 3 year 

Sounds Fair to me ,Here, if they Borrow some money they think its a Gift , The only thing is the shooter maybe in a bit of Trouble.

The pandemic: Rich Thais get richer and low income earners get poorer. 

Nothing new about that that's normal these days, Happening All over the world.

There be Sooo  many different strains of this mutated virus that they Will have to search for a New Updated Vaccine otherwise there will be Real Pandemic.

I am in favour of these restrictions .

For those of us trying to give up drinking  , it can be torturous tp keep seeing alcoholic drinks popping up on social media .

   It was terrible a few years back when Chang and Leo beer signs seemed to be outside every shop and on advertising boards .

  Your head is saying "Dont think about drinking" and your eyes are seeing "Drink, drink, drink" all day long

They are completely  insane . 

One can't take a pic at a party without having an alcoholic drink /glass in it and then can't post it /show it to friends.

Nothing wrong with drinking in this Tropical country ,My Doctor told me to keep on drinking Beer .good for Flushing the Kidneys he said Flushing small stones and gravel and stops calcium buildup .but still drink a bit of water.

Thai police warn against civil disobedience at restaurants - threaten jail terms. 

They Threaten Jail Terms  O yea .

That's only an incentive  for a Donation to make the threat go Away.

Drunken police officer denies Bangla shooting charges .

So now being sober he can say :Wasn' Me. 

No problem as yet ,but it looks very odd

Sorry Sir, but give reading a try before you reply. This is about the Moderna vaccine, not the AZ vaccine, en there are quite a few posts on this forum from people who had registered, and their appointment cancelled.

 

Have a nice day

What's the difference You want a vaccine ,who's gonna say with one is better than the other. Only time will tell. For me it doesn't matter  .AZ or Moderna or any other .

Only in Thailand, you have to pay upfront for a vaccine, which MAYBE you then will receive in the next 6 months.

 

I guess the main reason they lowered the price is because they didn't collect enough advance payments, for something the may never be delivered, and is not refundable.

 

Don't they have any shame? ( No need to answer that question)

You don't have to pay for the Jabs if you Had registered Early ,There are quite a few of us already had the First Jab, I had AZ  Jab no problems

It's really doable and it works, In Aus many people used that idea on mobile homes /caravans in the tropics .

Take note that most, if not all, of the cheaper frozen Pangasius contains preservatives.  Yes, preservatives and frozen. You might need to rifle through the supermarket freezers to find the slightly more expensive product that is preservative free. Perhaps at Big C Extra; don't remember exactly.

If you got to worry about preservatives then you won't be able to eat . most things one buys have some sort of Cr@p in it
