Get rid of the quarantines and the insurance and you might be on to something, Marisa.

vaxx junkies.

Where did all the chicken go??? https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/30396092

Nothing says "respect my privacy" and "it's a personal matter" like putting out a video announcing your separation.

I always expected they would use access to the building as the way to require vaccination. Many of us said as much six or seven months ago. But the testing kit is the new shakedown. How many ambulances do they plan on having on hand to cart off testing people positive? Do you get to go home and get any medicines you take? Or do you just disappear?

Well, that red box of text doesn't do anything but confuse the matter. Those at risk? Who's that? Where you travel from? Just off the spur of the moment? What test taken where is acceptable? You go to do a retirement extension and end up being carted off to a hospital and charged 100,000 baht instead?

Someone above said he renounced his US citizenship. Just for the sake of ease of travel, that seems a dumb thing to do. And it doesn't allow you to escape being a "US taxpaying person" even if you do renounce.

So when it's time for the first testing, there are two people standing in front of you. One with a swab for testing and another selling hospitel insurance???

Wonder if when he travels if he uses a Thai or American passport.

Looks like Heinecke needs to drop 50 or 60 lbs.

Just wait until the cancel culture people see the photo at the top of that Gap Year Index page.

Here is a direct quote. Not a "misrepresentation." Not a "report." A direct quote.

Your "debunking" was for a Bloomberg article. I posted an article from Reuters and a different reporter. Are you saying all these reporters are engaged in a conspiracy?

Maybe all these boosters are not such a good idea and doing more harm than good.

Cue the insurance shills and the people who like to bore everyone with the details of their insurance policies.

What sort of person would spend their time mooning over such a question?

Looks like he has a blood pressure cuff on the table in front of him. He must be plenty steamed.

It's more than that. Retirees essentially are a mostly trouble free demographic. Being older, they're much, much less likely to be involved in mild or violent confrontations. For the same reason, they're less likely to be casualties of jet skies, motorcycles, or scooters. As they usually have an income of some sort, you'll not find them running online scams or frauds or stealing from people. And after years and years, here, they probably will not engage in stupid/dangerous arguments with immigration, police, or anyone else they've adjusted to. And I really don't want to hear about the medical costs they are said to incur. I, for one, have never been able to leave a hospital--and I've been in one for overnight stays and procedures about four or five times during my 12 years here, as well as visiting a physician every two months at least for an ongoing condition--without an escort to the payment window first or receiving a receipt for a transfer of funds. Frankly, it is encouraging to see Prayut respond to the news positively. He could have shrugged it off, not taken notice, or made a dig against retirees.

Get ready. Get set. Go!!

A lot of people, it appears, expect First World services at Third World prices. They're probably going to be disappointed, if not angry. But go back to the First World, and it increasingly appears that you're starting to get Third World services at First World prices.

Well, now that the Sinovac windfall has come to a close for a certain company that invested in it, it's time to move on to the next money maker, test kits. Sold at the stores owned by the same people with the investment in Sinovac?

Of course tax them. A capital gains tax for mainly hiso Thai millennials, who are sitting at home and trading crypto in between jaunts to the mall and the latest fashionable restaurant. They aren't going to innovate anything.

I would rather be here than any of those other top ten mentioned. All in all I like it here.

Countless????

Sounds like a great life.
