The mainstream media are doing a great job "injecting" fear into all the sheeple. Why would anyone get injected by an untested fluid (research the ingredients) for a virus 99.95% curable in the under 80 year olds. You have an immune system people. Always ask questions, trust nobody. ????
30% of COVID - infected people in Australia are experiencing lung damage that takes months of rehabilitation.
I don't trust your information 99.95% is curable. Immune systems only work against threats they have experienced before, ergo vaccines.
I'm asking you a question. Where is a link to an authoritative source that supports the figure you have posted?

As I said subsequently, this is not my call, I'm merely describing the role of the Embassies as they are performed currently and have been so for at least two decades or more. The problem is, so few people understand the role and expect so much more.
If taxpayers knew the level of waste that goes on in Foreign Affairs ( or whatever it is called now ) they'd be screaming bloody murder. Cushiest government employment there is.
Is it too much to ask, in the middle of a pandemic, for embassies to get off their butts and assist their citizens?

How many people excel at a sport (using the term loosely for golf) the first time they try it?
Did you ever try baton twirling?
Why not? Not interested and think it silly? You owe it to yourself to try; you could be a natural but odds are you would look abjectly incompetent.
Personally I've never attempted either 'sport'.
Why would I try baton twirling? I thought that was done by girls with nice legs and very short skirts, the sight of me attempting that would frighten small children and grown adults alike.
Particularly if I wore the uniform.
I certainly did not excel when I started golf, took me 18 months to get to single figures. Slow learner. Never thought of it as silly at any stage.
People who think golf is silly don't understand the combination of athleticism, skill and mental application required to become a champion. They also don't understand golf is the only form of exercise recommended by doctors for cardiac patients, or that it is a sport that can be played by all ages. The number of 70 yo golfers would be far greater than tennis or badminton players.
Golf is a metaphor for life, that's why it's the best game ever invented.

It's not their job to look after the health of their citizens overseas, they're not missionaries.
Perhaps you could explain what Australians are supposed to do, when they are unable to travel back there due to quarantine quotas, and in fact face jail terms if they try to do it from India.
I've seen the taxpayer-funded holiday accommodation of the Australian ambassador outside Jakarta, not a mansion, a bloody palace. The functions of diplomatic staff seems to be holding parties for other consulates and embassies. And begrudgingly dole out visas.
I'm registering for vaccination at a local private hospital. Not expecting assistance from the consulate, IME they're as useful as tits on a bull.

The Western media is going on the facts it can get hold of, such as the 50% efficacy of Sinovac. R&C disinformation includes the story of 11 or 20 nuns dying after being vaccinated for COVID using AZ, Pfizer..... insert whatever is wanted.
Many people in the West don't realize Facebook and Twitter have been weaponized by totalitarian states. That's not to say Fox News has not done its own share of weaponizing.

The US is having issues getting sufficient people to take the vaccine… issues that seem to be about more than politics (for once), and other countries are reporting similar results. Wife just had second jab today at a place set up for 2,000 people per day that can only get 500 to come in.
The Russians and Chinese are mounting huge disinformation campaigns to cast doubt on the safety and efficacy of Western vaccines, it's just another salvo in the "grey war" being conducted in cyberspace.
It's unfortunate there is no vaccine or therapy for ignorance, and also unfortunate COVID is not selective for it.

IMO they would be questioning our sanity on other grounds, long before they got to golf. They'd probably start with churches, mosques and synagogues.

With the speed of its vaccination rollout, America is rapidly morphing from a pariah nation to one that will be open for unrestricted business, trade and tourism in a very short time.
Thailand take note. You won't be open for tourism until you do the same.

You lost me at the golf.
It seems the consensus is that if this happened to most any random person, it would be utopia for the leader, and dystopia for everyone else. I would never pass physics!
I would help you.

I would decree everyone on the planet older than 10 has to play a minimum of three rounds of golf every week, tapering off permitted after age 70.
I would legalize every illicit drug, with the proviso any crime committed under their influence gets the same penalty as if the person was not.
I would legalize prostitution, abortion and voluntary euthanasia world-wide.
I would ban all religious instruction in schools as a form of brain-washing.
Every student would have to attend and pass a minimum number of hours of education in physics, chemistry and biology. The people that fail would repeat until they passed.
People can accumulate as much wealth as they want to. There would be a limit set on what heirs could inherit.

If your windscreen is tinted with a FILM as in Thailand avoid an abrasive or even a solvent based approach.
You could try a citrus solution, lemon or lime applied to the gum residue. Has worked for me in the past, this is for removing rego sticker type applications.
My windscreen is tinted with film, acetone leaves it undamaged.

For removing adhesives, terpentine or white spirit works way better than alcohol or acetone
It depends on the adhesive. Turpentine and white spirit, being non-polar solvents, can be useless for some types of adhesive. Residue from registration stickers on windscreens is probably a good example.

So 99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol contains 5% water. Who knew?
I was talking about ethanol, C2H5OH. When one uses the term alcohol, it does not normally refer to isopropyl alcohol.
Isopropyl alcohol also forms an azeotrope with water, 91% by volume. Acetone forms no azeotropes with water, which is why it is used to eliminate water from extracts in analytical laboratories.
Next.
-
Acetone is superior to alcohol for cleaning off adhesives and contacts, because it evaporates leaving no residue, whereas when alcohol evaporates it leaves a residue of water behind. That's because water forms a 5% azeotrope with alcohol.
This is what I use, available at 7/11, otherwise known as nail polish remover. Avoid any nail polish removers that state they contain oils, you want the pure stuff.

No, because when an instrument wielded by a Thai at variable distances says my body is 32 degrees C, I should be suffering from hypothermia.

Any way to find this announcement/article in Thai as I feel it may help me to show my local hospitals what I am asking.
I showed the wife a Google translation but I think it was about 80% accurate which may or may not be enough.
Most hospitals have English-speakers, unless you are living way out in the sticks. Ask for an English-speaker, and explain you want to register for COVID waksin.
It does help if you are registered with the hospital as a patient, they usually issue a card.

It's very common to find people who call golf silly are abjectly incompetent when invited to try it.

Tell them you don't have one, and can't get one due to your visa conditions. If they don't accept that, close the account.
Do you have trusted relatives or friends in Australia? You can direct the funds through them, IMO the ATO can do nothing about it.

2 hours ago, rotorbreeze said:What is meaning.. have an underlying disease can register now? As it is stated that the vaccination may cause you (Shead) to spread the flu virus as school administration in USA claim. Underlying..for me I have lived Africa and have had Malaria 25 yrs ago lived middle east and have had many vaccinations not to enter country but on my return. I have built a very excellent genome gut bacteria the key to strong immunity no drugs that suppress the bodies natural response. I look for the cause not hidden by medication which the Idiopathic Medical system practices. Here is an example I stand on your foot it hurts, it hurts so the medical system gives you pain killers... the pain killers in body react to this invasion of histamines and build resistance...now a stronger pain killer used and body reacts... this cycle continues and other medical issues appear, kidney, bladder, no sleep, your immunity is compromised. I hope this example of me standing on your foot realize Medical treatment for any problem is not the solution. Vaccinations let me explain Russian Roulette...
You're equating standing on my foot to a virus attacking my lungs? As a ridiculous comparison, that takes some beating. Perhaps it has not occurred to you I would not need medical assistance to get you to cease and desist.
Vaccines do not compromise the immune system, they provoke it into action. That's the whole point of them.

The authorities say wearing masks is compulsory. They don't specify how a mask should be worn, so someone who is exercising should be able to uncover their nose to assist breathing.
I'd also like to know if golf courses are considered public places, because I don't see golfers wearing masks. Caddies, yes.

I have a Philips blender, from memory about 600 baht in PowerBuy. 4 speeds. Use it to make mango smoothies with yoghurt, or to puree pineapple for freezing.
Philips has a good reputation for reliable appliances.

Seems like 20 people trolled the survey, well done.
Next question: Are you happy paying more for being a falang?
Do you like being called dirty falang? Yes or No.
Are you happy not being able to own land?
Troll on..... good stuff.
#1 AFAIK, I don't. I pay exactly the same for my car a scooter registration, ditto fruit and vegetables at the day market. I might pay more if I wanted to eat Western food exclusively.
#2 No. That's coming from a guy who has the same intelligence as a can of soup, and proves it repeatedly.
#3 Yes. I'm happy to rent here, and keep my capital to produce income. Land is not a liquid asset, might take years to sell. Land does not produce income, it has to be farmed or built on.
Troll on indeed.

When all you can think about is being over par
in Golf in Thailand
Posted
About 98% of golfers would be delighted if they could shoot that score.
