Easy to use, two line result. One line negative or invalid depending on which line, two lines positive. Same principal as pregnancy test kits.

For everywhere but Phuket.  Unfortunately they have painted themselves into a very tight corner and they will have to see it through no matter what the consequences will be.  It is sad to think of how things were handled so differently just over a year ago and to where we are now, a 180 degree turn, with minor and partial lockdowns.  Still waiting to hear the fallout from the BMA, after all it is Sunday and most are probably still sleeping in after partying last night in their Government houses.  Fiddling while Rome is burning and the peasants are ransacking France getting ready to use the guillotine.

There was a few months ago that a Thai had made the exact replica of the guillotine but it was confiscated as unauthorized.

Home self-test regarding Covid-19

I read with surprise that even in Thailand Home self-test are on sale, but from the reaction on the link indicated, the medical authorities say they do not use them because you of the people are too stupid to understand the results, a statement that leaves me astonished because no authority in Europe has ever dared to make such insinuations where they are widely used.

I assume it's to hide the true numbers of infected

Sure. But why didn't the PM include Chonburi in last night's order? Or do you think the Governor will do it unilaterally? 

Why do tourists from BKK flock to the Prachuap region this weekend while the hotels were deserted in the past few weeks, this is the real question to ask?

How can you expect to control the spread of the epidemic if all leisure travel remains open?

The submarines have already been ordered. Maybe in exchange for the fruit? 

To save the durians I think it is difficult with a submarine, better a tank bought always in China which in addition works the soil to replant the durian plants.

First time bad case of Pneumonia, mistaken at the public hospital as a flu.

 

Second time breathing problems worsened, stent required due to narrowing of an artery.

 

1.6 + 1. =2.6 mil

 

Age 60 which is still young in my opinion.

 

I'm sorry but at this price it indicates that the private thais hospitals are fraudsters, the best private Europe hospital would not be at a quarter of this price

Talks continue and never stop

I will never settle down with a girl I can't live with before marriage. Too many people change after living together. Like for example say you have a girl and she acts all nice sweet and responsible. Then you are a person that has to have a clean kept place. But you only learn the trith that she is not a clean responsible person after start living together bas so does not wash dishses or do any cleaning and leaves the place looking disgusting always. Thats a hell of a lot of trouble to have to turn around and divorve her if can't live together first. 

I agree with you, for us Westerners it is like going back to the past time where religion imposed chastity in Europe. But if we evaluate the situation in which it is now Thailand where it is customary in many parts of the country that the mother decides here she will have to marry her daughter and if you want to marry in tradition you have to pay, it seems to me that the government is following more the current Thai tradition who will succeed is another question.

Since it is very difficult to live together between two people of different cultures and that the percentage of failure is very large if this happens it will be much more difficult to avoid a divorce and consequently marry a Thai, but other countries in Asia are now freer then the choice of having a new partner is not limited to Thailand only as those in government believe.

But first he has to ensure that examples are set from the very top down. The antics of his ministers in ThongLor clearly illustrates he will never achieve what may be his own moral ambitions.

However he must realise also that the real world is significantly different from the dream world he appears to live in.

I agree with you but a commentator said previously that in the LAOS it is not possible to live together if not married so the PM is according to his super traditional Thai point of view to apply the same law also in Thailand. So if this is true this news is very troubling, what will be next?

I wonder if that will reduce the number of visitors during the sandbox period...????

If this is true and that it will be applied to all of Thailand, this country will be completely different in a few years, it was known that the PM wanted to cleanse the country of prostitution and consequently the image of Thailand in the world, so to think back it could be real news.

You can't plug a 3 pin plug into a 2 pin socket. As most Thai houses probably only have 2 pin sockets 3 pin plugs would be a problem. However, one can buy an 3 pin adapter that one can attach the earth wire to if one has a 3 pin earthed electrical system in one's house.

That's correct but why are you telling me this? I had replied to the gentleman who said that he had bought a fridge with only two plugs and not 3, that is, it was supplied without the earth socket so your answer to me is out of the question.

Unfortunately the only thermometers on hand are the human type and they don't go below 35C.

 

If I had to guess I would say they cool things down to about 25-28C (on maximum setting i.e. set for 16C). Definitley never below 25C, no matter how low set or on for how long, and maybe not below 26-27. In the living room, never cool enough to be able to exercise comfortably; in the bedroom never cool enough to use the comforter spread. but cool enough to sleep with only a sheet on (that is with added help from a fan directly on me).

Noticed my air con seemingly struggling to cool the bedroom a few days ago, temperature lowered made no difference and the air flow seemed weak, suspecting it just needed cleaning called our regular guy.

He took the cover off the inside unit and straight away spotted the problem, using dish soap he highlighted a pinhole leak ( an oily substance inside the unit alerted him to the exact spot ).

A quick bit of welding and 1800 baht later, good as new , for now anyway ????.

 

Your “ good discount “ unit could have been a returned unit with a problem,  boxed and sold cheaper , maybe has a leak.

 

Haier , 4 years old, otherwise has been very good and can get icy cold if necessary although we usually run at 27c  nighttime.

Our fixit guy said he has fixed plenty of this problem but first time on a Haier , for what it’s worth .

I bought a Haier two years ago and after 8 months it no longer worked properly, no technical assistance only the free spare parts through the technician who had called, bought a new TCI air conditioner and it has been working perfectly for a year.
