Power, you just can't help but abuse it can you? Welcome to Bannon's America.

Horrible way to die....poor lady....young for Alzheimer's.

The second wave isn't going to start in Thailand. It will come from outside when the borders open and the quarantine requirement is softened.

Just where did this bloated, blowhard, idiot of a man get his medical degree from. I need a second opinion on my strange disease and would like to book an appointment.

IO have yet to find a government produced app that actually works. I have stopped using any that they make for immigration because I fear I might bring on an attack of apoplexy. I dutifully fill in all the forms where they ask several times for the same information, name, address, telephone number, passport number, entry number etc then having filled out all this I push the button to send and it says there is a problem, and not in a helpful way, telling you how to fix it.

For Thailand to produce a functioning track and trace app for 40 million visitors(last years total), is impossible despite being the e-business and internet hub of the ASEAN.

It was in the morning news in TV.

 

It was a monk driving his new dog home to the tempel and because the luggage compartment was small he did not close the back door and the dog jumped out which he did not see.

I thought monks were forbidden from driving?

Good idea. As Trump keeps reminding us, it has worked so well in the US.

I have literally hundred of pairs of socks.....and I always bought the same styles in the same colours....I have business socks and high and low level sports socks. I don't wear them any more......does anyone want to buy them? They are pretty much as new and not very smelly.

Sickening story....it has taken away my appetite for my dinner.

These stupid noisy things need to be banned. Or perhaps you should need an age qualification to drive one...say you have to be 60 years old to get a licence. Kids (ie many Thai men under 60) and big bikes don't mix.

I can't wait for Thailand to become the tub (sic) of world tourism on October 1st. One of the problems these worthy ministries (and the hundreds off sub committees that they will create) will face is that since Thailand now has no coronavirus infection, any single tourist can turn the whole country into some dystopian space like America with corona lurking in every place. 

Personally I liked the idea that someone posted the other day....and that was to make the quarantine period the holiday....so hotels spend some dough and do an "all in" 3 meals a day, free booze, etc....no need to leave the hotel as it has everything you need.  

I see Bali tried to open up and couldn't for various reasons. 

I'm suspecting that this is the charge with weakest evidence, easily challengeable by the defence team. Nothing to see here, no Boss in jail ever. It would be unnatural for such a hi-so whose grandfather invented Red Bull to spend a night in the clink.

If he does come back I wonder what sort of contorted rationale the presiding judge is going to give for allowing him bail after he has already run away once.

Get yourself a lawyer. Do not go to the police station. Send the lawyer instead. Sign nothing.

Is your surgery an elective procedure? If so I would wait until the US gets its act together stopping there virus.

How interesting? I suppose being stung by a hive of bees is way less painful than a collagen injection.

Well, with these two in charge, I'm looking forward to seeing millions of new job created with large increases in wages.....and a free house for everyone.

Why not keep all the Thais here to work....then they wouldn't need to let so many foreigners come here to work?

Why would your own government want to make it hard for you to fly, if you have a bona fide residence abroad. If I were them I would make it very difficult for you to go back to OZ after you left.

I think sitting on your ar$e at home watching the tele is the top job for foreigners. It's a skilled job which few people can do expertly and so it needs oodles of practice. Sadly peak earnings are on the low side.

Other than that, if you have at least tongue, a mouth and a head, you can be a teacher of English.....high status, but sadly, quite lowly pay. Importantly, you don't need any education of any kind or any knowledge of the English language to teach English in Thailand even in the most prestigious schools which is obviously a plus if you spent your teenaged years in Borstal.

I'm in the high risk group, old, obese, diabetic....but I won't be signing up for any studies. I see the pharmaceutical companies have got a get out of jail free card meaning they won't have to pay any damages if it all goes horribly wrong and people get devastating illnesses from the vaccine.

I will just be very careful. I choose less crowded shops on less crowded days of the week and wear a mask every time I am out. I do socialise in small groups but have cut way back, once a week no more. I have not been to a restaurant or bar in 3 months or more, not have I travelled outside of my own town. 

How angry with your neighbour do you have to be to throw a grenade at him?

I suppose the object here is to reduce any 'expert' opinion too a piece of worthless rubbish by the hiring of eminent scientists capable of estimating the speed by divination with twigs to within 2 decimal places who will introduce reasonable doubt in the judges mind of the original report.

Anyone think this will end in Boss spending a night or two behind bars will be sorely disappointed.
