Burma Bill

Whatever, he has now "lost face"  - with a mask!!!!

Interesting to note the list also includes Vietnam and Laos! No mention of Thailand - one of the fastest declining???

From my experience watching many arrivals at Don Mueng Airport, all flights were guided to the stand as shown below. I personally have never seen an arriving flight being towed to the stand - only pushed from the stand when departing. RIP tractor driver.

What about the many THAIS who do not wear face masks (like him) - lock them up in isolation hospitals??

3 days ago I attended the Diabetic Clinic at my local Government Hospital and many out-patients were not wearing masks.

Incidentally, all my medication was given to me in a single-use plastic bag on which was printed the hospital name!!

Shopped at TOPS and BIGC in Khon Kaen yesterday, paid cash, no questions asked about ID (passport).

However, I am not surprised, as the bureaucracy and stupidity coming out of Bangkok is ridiculous!

Not long now, in 7 days time I leave LOS after almost 20 years. This is 2020, not 1984! 

Why not introduce new strict "no burning sugar cane" zones in Issan Provinces!!

I wonder if the next train service would be the "Ghost Train". RIP both victims.

Well, at least the cocktail looks pretty!

Why the dark glasses - follow-up eye viral infection??

"wandered away from its natural habitat as there is no crocodile farm close to the area"

A crocodile farm is a natural habitat? - personally I do not think so. I once visited such a farm in Cambodia and it was, in my opinion as a biologist, atrocious. The "crocs" were being bred and then slaughtered to provide the skins for expensive handbags, belts, shoes and other fashion items for mainly Chinese tourists.

Why Air Asia? Why not Thai Air? (honest question)

Well, Air Asia is a budget airline - much cheaper charter rates than THAI!!

Totally irresponsible, in my opinion. It is all, about MONEY, MONEY, MONEY and even more MONEY!

or even call the fire brigade! (I must admit they are usually slow attending)

"TAT will help attract more foreign tourists besides Chinese such as Indians and Koreans"

They can now forget the Koreans as one recently contracted the virus whilst in Thailand and, no doubt, there will now be health warnings for Korean tourists wanting to visit LOS!

Casinos and hotels at the border? I guess you mean in the next city at the Myanmar side.

Like the border crossing from Mai Sai (Chiang Rai Province) into Tachilek (Burma) where there are at least 5 casinos that have been there for many years.

Good news - now a hard border with Ulster.

Won't be in Chiang Mai then thank heavens.

Or here in Issan with all the stinking smoke from sugar cane burning!

1178 - the "snitch" or grass-up" free call number. Do not upset anyone.

Yes indeed. I thought it was Yasser Arafat.

Enjoy the peace, calm and solitude while you can - I certainly would!!
