why?......those that take a vaccine surely would have no fear? and those that don't, have to accept the greater risk.

Thailand shares something with the USA. Both are countries badly in need of competent leadership. 

make that the whole world.

It wont be long till they make vaccination a condition of applying for extension of stay.

You cannot force someone to take the vaccine if they don't want it!

oh yes you can....just wait and see

Thailand needs to offer incentive not punishment.  It's the wrong way to go about things.

Can foreigners buy and own land in Thailand?

they can buy but you cannot get your name on the land title.

difficult without family in the village.Let your wife do the asking without you insight because once they see you the asking price will go up........a lot.

good luck,remember it's a gamble,like the old chain letters,the early ones make money,last in ususually loses.I realise my comparison is not very good but you get what i mean.The higher the return the greater the risk.

So vaccine passports are a complete and utter waste of time..................nonsense of the highest order

yes you are right,however it will tell the authorities that the holder,if he catches the virus,probably wont get bad symptoms and will not be a burden on the system.yet he/she can still be a carrier and infect others, whether they have had the vaccine or not.

Whereas China’s official COVID case counts exploded in early 2020 and then quickly dropped off and have remained low, Thailand went through most of

In Dystopian china.....think of a number and reduce by 80%.......Their leaders come from another planet.

that claim of more usage is easily verifiable on the bill that tells you how many watts you used,or if they are charging more baht per kilowatt.

just checked my bill march 353 units 959 baht

                                      april 472units      1954 baht

march shows each unit used cost 2.71 baht(pea gave us a covid discount in march)

april  was 4.13 baht per unit(usual cost)

And Asian girls are not only the smartest, they are also the most beautiful and petite.

 

A lot of white girls are very intimated by them.

Wont last, Thais are getting just as fat!

intimidated?........I think most of us are here cos thai ladies have retained their femininity,unlike western ladies.And yes many do end up fat.Asian ladies also age quicker than western.

Google building low cost home in Thailand.

It is all about size, budget builds can be as low as 7/8000 baht a square metre

sound about right,get away with between 300,00 and 600,000

Well, it might make it easier to get an extension of stay each year, but now you have wife maintenance upkeep costs....and some wife models are high maintenance.

Littering was a blight in the UK while I was growing up. There were repeated TV reminders. 

Yet, we still see people littering, the big issue now is fly tippers. 

reading the daily mail uk tells you all you need to know about UK society in 2021.....place is a cesspit 

leaving litter is a problem in most countries.Why do people do it?...my guess is laziness,a lack of respect for other people,selfishness and an "i don't care" attitude.

I see it all the time in the village and area I live in.Some houses I visit(relatives) the yard is littered with rubbish and they are ok living amongst trash...just laziness in most cases and very sad because it says a lot about these people.

LOL. IMO the bar scene was dying before corona because the clever girls had gone on line. They have no reason to return to being bored in a bar pretending to like farangs.

Agreed pattaya is finished,but i would think  resurrected as something else.Life as it was pre 2019 is not coming back no matter how much you wish it.A precedent has been set for future viruses....masks,social distancing,vaccines and lockdowns.No matter how many vaccines you have there will always be another mutant,another strain."do not let a good opportunity go to waste"...so the saying goes and big pharma can see a lot of future money to be made.
