The fat lady hasn't sung yet, as nobody knows how much of a spread fest the New Year's holiday was. Let's see in 1-2 weeks.

I had stocked up in March before the first lockdown and have basically just kept that throughout, using and replacing some stuff now and then. So this time around, no major shopping trip for me.

Depending on what province you are coming from, you may not be allowed back.  

Quite right. Which is why I wrote, once the interprovincial travel restrictions have been lifted.

As millions of people are being vaccinated - many of them elderly - it won't be a surprise to see thousands of them die within weeks after receiving their shot(s).

That doesn't mean that the vaccine causes their death. People die all the time. I've yet to see any credible report that proves causality.

Shouldn't they use the term "alert" instead of "stressed"? To give it a positive spin? ????

Sounds like a plan, I'll do something similar!

Gambling is a lot more prevalent in Thailand than in any other country I've lived. Thailand also happens to be the only one out of those countries where gambling is completely illegal. A coincidence?

Aren't they a bit old for a meth sex party?

I think it would be important to remove Trump from office, regardless of how little time he has left in office. He's a traitor and instigator of domestic terrorism and as such disqualified to serve even a day longer.

The surprise of the century. Oh my.

Not having seen any rotten teeth in about a year definitely is a positive in my book.

How about using some empty hotels for asymptomatic patients and those with only light symptoms?

I don't disagree with Thailand's policy to hospitalize them as well, but doing so at proper hospitals just means that they will be at capacity much sooner. A hotel would be much more comfortable than a field hospital for those affected.

Well I'd rather not, as long as I can choose. I'll just keep scanning the ThaiChana QR codes.

He's right.

Just when will that be possible though?

Thank you Jack.  What's MTT? ????

The temporary facility you mentioned. Muang Thong Thani.

A sad state of affairs.

Let's just say I won't be in a hurry!

I'm honest enough to know that I wouldn't stop and don't even want to, so my conclusion is simply not to marry in the first place, so that I won't be faced with this moral dilemma that is both predictable and avoidable.

I don't get why foreigners who come to Thailand marry Thais anyway. Back at home, I might have been subjected to some mild societal pressure to get married. But here? None whatsoever.

To say that I don't believe in marriage would be an understatement!
