  1. If you have 1.2 million medical insurance why do you worry. I mean that would certainly cover it.
  2. Life does not always go the way you want. Its a bum deal for everyone but more so for those that love drinking and parties. I would love to see things get back to normal. Being able to go out and shop normally go to other provinces. Fly back to the home country or have my parents here without those 14 days of time wasting in quarantine. So your not the only one.
  3. Seems that way the rules are just not clear. Seems 25 is ok but not with alcohol. Lets all smoke weed ???? But seriously I don't even know if the 25 limit is for public parties and gatherings or that is for ones own home. They love keeping the rules clear as mud so they can enforce them the way they like.
  4. Make a better quality vaccine and you don't get criticism . Show your data just like US and European countries did. What is wrong with stating that a vaccine is less effective then other ones. Why should the truth be hidden. China needs to grow up and learn that unlike in their own country they can't silence people outside their country.
  5. Yea but is their choice and their problem. I mean not having a smart phone is a choice. There are cheap smart phones available. But it might be problematic for poor farmers (but they probably don't go tot restaurants that would check things) but any foreigner not owning one is a bit strange in these days. Though I know of some hold outs but then its their choice.
  6. there is an other reason, if it was to cheap people would become careless and it could lead to security problems. Personally I think your a cheap skate (sorry) because you lose something and then moan about the price. Its only 500bt plus you caused this and nobody else. Take some responsibility drink a few beers less and you will be good. Maybe next time your more careful. Now you learn your lesson.
  7. I no longer care what party is in power, I seen Thaksin and his proxies and this lot. They are all the same they have the same lies and deceptions. The only difference is where the corruption money ends up. Just look at how easy MP chance sides so they can still have a cut. Its not political leaning that persuades them but what gives them the biggest chance to get rich. As long as there are no good choices right now besides former future forward but they are not strong enough yet.
  8. Yes its too early but the government is between a rock and a hard place. They are hugely unpopular and businesses and people are suffering. So they need to open up. But like you said there are far too many cases to do so. So they do something that is impractical to act as if they are doing something. Just window dressing. If this virus stays long enough it will be the ultimate downfall of Prayut something the opposition could not do. Ironic. Something goods then at least comes from this mess.
  9. I would agree with their reasoning IF people could be vaccinated. I mean people who don't want to be vaccinated should just not go to large gatherings. They will get covid and overburden the health system. Causing delays for people who need serious operations. But right now its not right to make this distinction because people DONT have the choice of getting vaccinated. So first provide enough vaccines. Then put these kind of rules to work. Maybe if they make it so that you need a certificate of vaccination to visit bar girls anti vaxers here would quickly be vaccinated.
  10. First of my main point is that Covid has put a strain on the public health system (cannot deny that). So to lessen that as people who are unvaccinated should not be in crowds. It would read to rapid spread and taking up many beds that could be used for others like heart patients waiting for operation. So while your right that health is a private issue (and I agree) this case is different. As we seen in Thailand people dying because of lack of hospital beds. So the selfish antivaxers want to go on doing high risk activities and by doing so risk others like heart patients and the like for having to wait longer for operations (every country has this problem so you cannot deny it) So by that right the government can do such things as its for the common good.
  11. Yes they can spread it but not as much as those who are not vaccinated and also vaccinated have a lower chance to get sick. So if you let unvaccinated people get together in large groups they will infect more and put a larger strain on the health system. That means that many people can't get the care they need and operations need to be postponed. But then again anti vaxers just want not to be vaxed and have the same rights. Thankfully in most European countries we segregate already. So if you dont want to be vaccinated your choice but accept you will be limited. Each and every choice in life has pro's and con's anti vaxers just to have it their way.
  12. You still dont get it or don't want to get it (probably the latter) Unvaccinated people in crowded spaces can lead to outbreaks and putting strain on the health system by their stupid actions. Vaccinated people are less likely to catch it and have their share for the greater good and put less strain on health system. So as long as unvaccinated have a higher chance of infecting others (especially other not vaccinated) resulting in overflowing hospitals limiting care for many other people they should not be allowed the same rights as vaccinated people. This goes beyond being scared of covid its about social responsibility and if you really don't want to vaccinate accept that there are things you can't do. BUT im talking from a perspective where everyone can get a vaccine. Now there are a lot non vaccinated who would love to get vaccinated. So then its a bit unfear people who are unlike anti vaxers willing to vaccinate for their own good and the greater good while selfish antivaxers want the same right.
  13. Of course people who are not vaccinated should have less rights to certain events then those who are vaccinated. They do that in most countries because it makes sense. Its just the anti vaxers that hate it as they don't want there to be consequences to not being vaccinated. So YES segregate but only when people had a chance to get vaccines. In the Netherlands there is a big group that does not want to be vaccinated. Too bad I say but that same group does want to go to sports events and stuff. Now one can say that its their life their risk but they by getting sick (unnecessary) and taking up valuable hospital resources. Maybe anti vaxers should just pay for their medical treatment and for those they infected. Teaches them that every choice has advantages and disadvantages.
  14. Fools luck, i mean who would go into the forrest without taking at least a mobile with him or better preparation. You see people like this using up precious resources all the time because they overestimate themselves. When i go hiking in Khao Yai i usually rent a guide too. Once i went without and it was hard to follow the trails as they can be quite unclear suffice to say we could not finish the walk as the track was gone. Going back was ok as we had a river / stream to guide us. But its just not smart to attempt these things especially alone.
  15. Im not against people voting at all, yes i supported the coup at first as I thought it would bring good change. I was naive as I had only seen Thaksin his corruption not the other side. (i came to Thailand with Thaksin in power and saw the same lies and stuff we see now from Prayut and his ministers). That kinda really put me off, and found it hard to believe it could be worse. Soon after i found he was just all words like they all are and regretted the support. Now I come to accept that they are all crooks and I don't really care anymore who is in power. I just comment on their lies (i know wont make a difference). But its just sad that the options the people have to vote for are so bad. I mean the voting wont result in a clean government just like the coup did not. So i definitely am pro voting, I just don't think it will change anything. Just other crooks in power who steal and lie. Then an ellection same bad choices and the cycle goes on. I mean given the past its unrealistic to expect voting to change anything in the next 10 years. (just my two sends) i find sad.
  16. That is what you think is the core issue what i think is the core issue is that both Thaksin and the current mob will do anything for money and have no ideals just in it for the money that is what this shows. So it again demonstrates how evil both are. Your other point is moot the elections were not good we don't live in an other reality where it did go well. So in this situation it shows how evil both sides are. They are not for the people they are just money grabbers. And no it does not surprise me at all, i mean i knew that the Thaksin mob and the current mob are just in it for the money and this just confirms it. Neither has moral high ground. Thaksin lost even more now that he is willing to work with those that were pro coup just to get in power and get money. Like i said i many times im just out here to demonstrate that both sides are evil and no progress will ever be made as long as they are around.
  17. Soon Im fully vaccinated, let those stupid idiots do what they want. IMHO its too early to open up and a new wave will come. The vaccination levels are still too low. But the government can't pay for the people and can't refuse the businesses so they are forced to open. But IMHO its a mistake given the vaccination levels, next week i have my second Pfizer shot so it concerns me less but a lot of people are not vaccinated or with an inferior vaccine. So lot of people will die because of this. Sad actually but expected, I mean you can't lock down people and not give them any money to survive.
  18. Indeed quite often something behind it like maybe the farang son wanting a visa or even Thai passport or something. Questions like this are just used to confirm some part of a plan / scheme.
  19. No Thaksin lover this was real... him wanting to work with his worst enemies for the money and power. Then after that this PM used his power to take some of the 40 back. But tell me how do you feel that Thaksin wants to work with the enemy just so he can get back to the money through without being able to change things ? Is that not a harsh betrayal of his followers ? I told you before both sides are really evil and in it for the money. This is absolute proof willing to work with their enemies just for the money.
  20. It helps curb illigal parties and open pubs (illigal) but just extending it a bit to 10 or 11 would still do that and give people more freedom. But seeing that they are giving up why not open pubs too. Just watch and see what happens. I don't even have to wonder what it will do.
  21. Did anyone read about the plot of the PTP going over to the PPPR with the drug minister to oust Prayut and make a new government. This is the supposed response. (bkk post) But it shows how morally corrupt both the PTP and PPPR as they both are willing to work with arch enemies just for the money. Because the PM is just a small part of the problem Its the PPPR and coalition that are worse. So Thaksin is willing to work with those that hate him and vice versa just so they can keep the money. Kinda says it all about the two choices there are in Thailand both money hungry not willing to change the status quo. Shows me too that Move forward is the only one who is a bit ok. I wonder how the die hard Thaksin lovers will respond to the news that their boss wants to work with their enemies just so he gets money and power back betraying allies. Instead of going on fighting to really topple the government. So its quite possible the PM bribed these guys after the drug minister persuaded (bribed ) them first. Both sides dirty as can be.
  22. I don't know about the 25 rule.. i thought it was for events. But to be honest im not sure.
  23. Your allowed 5 people at your home nothing illegal about it. Only when you drink it starts to become illegal. So I was talking about those visits not parties. It might surprise you but people can have fun without drinking. The moment alcohol stars flowing people start flaunting rules. Now IMHO that is not so bad if its done with 5 people max in a house (but not legal) but once your getting bigger crowds it gets even more risky. I was talking about the allowed visit (combined with occupants) of 5 people so if you have a gf that means 3 guests.
  24. I dont like it one bit i prefer strongbow but that is harder to get.
