Warning bell for me was finding out that apparently the companies that make them are immune from prosecution. If they are so safe the people that make them should be prepared to take responsibility for their safety.
all you need to know......rushed out without time to test,of course they need immunity from prosecution,which brings usto a decision "to vaccinate or not"

to get a vaccine or to not: at the end of the day it's a personal choice.The chances of a bad reaction are small,yet no one knows the long term ramifications.My first thoughts are i'd rather rely on my healthy immune system to combat the infection.
I know second hand of a doctor and his wife who tested positive for covid after his wife showed symptoms,fever and a cough.The doctor showed no symptoms,but both tested positive.He decided,as a doctor in the know I would guess, to administer azythromycin together with doxycycline.Big doses to begin with but as his wife's symptoms subsided the doses were reduced.After 10 days they reported back for another covid test and both came back negative.

I try this on the banking board.
Do I get free money for life too?
well you never know you're luck in the big city.But i met an older guy in pattaya,running out of money;his lady owned a laundromat,loved him inspite of his finances and was happy to care of him,this story was told to me by her.So there's always a nice story to go with the "horror's"

My last 2 long term girlfriends fit into that category and were not interested in going to live in Australia or it could be they were interested but just not going with me!
yes living overseas is not for everyone,they miss the family and thai food,yet there are thousands living in australia,also in norway and europe.They have a better life financially and have no intention of returning to the land of smiles.

over half a million followers in 2 days tells that the young are fed up with their politicians and "rich clique"......everything is possible and they should be encouraged.
In australia i still think it's possible to apply and get a student visa for the under 30's ,studying english and the visa allows them to work.Need money of course to start off so not everyone will be in a position to do this.The weather is good,the streets are clean,and there are always jobs.

only thing to do is call them.Ask why are you requesting this? I am retired,I dont work,so why would i have a thai tax number.
Aussie banks are a pain in the <deleted>,all of them.

So are you working in tailand?

So you are now resident oversees for tax purposes?And the aussie bank automatically taxes any income from your accounts at 10%...am i correct?....so yes why would westpac want any other details?do they think you are gainfully employed in thailand?

fully assimulating would be an impossible task............you'd need things in common.If through work for example you mixed with thais who had lived and worked in the west,spoke your language you'd have much in common,but if you lived in a totally thai city or village it would be difficult to find things in common.

bad news sells......a weird human trait.

And to be honest, dare I say it, I'm actually starting to miss the foreign tourists..
Wait, did I actually say that? ????
yes,if living in a tourist area it must be depressing to see everything closed.

one thing that really helps is "being ok with your own company"......many people need other people to be around,are social,need the bar to drink with friends etc.....these times for them might be difficult.

the questions you ask are quite technical,would n't a lawyer be the best person to ask.
Only loan if you are ok with the possibility of losing your money.I know you did n't ask for this kind of advice but it surely applies.

Life really has n't changed too much,I like reading fiction,watching movies and working in the garden,always something to do and a few beers before dinner......it's village life.My G/F village is in lockdown for 2 weeks,so no visiting family,but they are allowed out to buy food.
If i was living in a beachside tourist area i'd do a lot of beachside walking but even now that would n't be good with wearing facemasks now mandatory.......not a lot of fun.Have to ask "when is it all going to end"?

It makes you wonder though how much proactive testing is going on in hotspots or is it limited to testing people presenting with possible symptoms ?
would n't surprise if these numbers are just from people entering hospital with symptoms as opposed to active testing.

Ever visited NZ? We don't tip anyone. Perhaps some uninformed tourists might do so, but it's not normal.
don't you think that's because the wages are relatively high for the work they perform?....same in australia.

was it the only change he had? did he deliberately tear it and leave it out of spite? we will never know.But yes be extra generous in these difficult times.What goes round comes round,karma has a way of balancing things up.

it's a case of "we are desperate for some money,but not really for you"........it's difficult to understand the mentality.
