    I had a dream... 

     

    They should remove the sex bars from the Walking Street and create there a nice area with things like restaurants, small shops and sea view. The bars can be outside Pattaya where only people go that want to go there - there is no need for a beach location. They should move also all other red light areas from the city to this new location and create a paradise for people looking for something like this without disturbing others. Of course there needs to be good and cheap public transportation to this entertainment area. This bar chaos without zoning would come to an end and everyone could be happy. 

    How about right outside your house?

    Why not grant PR to all long term residents after 3 trouble-free years in the Kingdom on Married, Retd or work extns & include a 'no drink driving' clause to ensure compliance by those that routinely do it here (we all know them) but wouldn't usually dare at home?

    Just my 2p ????

    Great idea, but I bet they will be back to stupid 90 day reports and TM30 again once the pandemic is over. Is it too much to hope that the virus killed off the 90 day reports and TM30 forever? Will common sense prevail?

    A virus that attacks politicians can't be all bad can it?

     

    And will someone puhleeeease explain to me why we cannot use the beach, so long as we maintain social distancing? Is there some weird Thai logic to this thought up by a committee? It hurts my brain.

    Optimism to the extreme.

    The world travellers are much better informed now.

    Tourists denied entry at airports. Tourists interrogated at airport. Tourist put in airport jail. Dual pricing and much more. All this make international news, travellers are aware and more and more tourists choose alternative destination, where they feel welcome.

     

    Other countries IO welcome tourists to their country, and tourist can often extend without problem. This Thailand should learn from. Put a end to 'You come to often to Thailand', and all other nonsense regulation they created last 10 years.

    Immigration need a total overhaul.

     

    Very well put post of the day. To which I would add there is no way they can guarantee safety. Thai BS.

     

    If they enforce stupid visa regs and require health certificates and insurance, the tourists will go elsewhere.

     

    We all know, they want our money but they don't want us. Farang cum Thailand too mut.

    why can't i go on a secret mission and just stay with a friend?

    I guess said friend is female and NCC is going nuts having not been laid in weeks? Yes, you can go, so long as you observe the Govt prescribed social distance of 2 meters. How you make love while doing this is not my problem. (But then it is a secret mission so no one will know eh? ..... except every one of us on this Forum!)

    Without knowing the product and size of the operation it is impossible for anybody here to evaluate the chances of success in the future

    Roadrunner has owned four businesses and sees a disaster in the making.

     

    What is she planning to grow on this land? Where are the costings and financial planning that should be done prior to starting any business?

     

    Is it viable? Obviously not, as she ran out of money, plus being a Thai, she had no financial plan.

     

    Time for you to leave Grasshopper.

    Thaivisa notes that Thailand has strict animal cruelty laws on its books.

    Justice in Thailand? Laws, rarely enforced. Perhaps this time there will be justice as it was caught on CCTV and seen on social media. That will not bring the cat back though.

    The police said they had gathered evidence of the crime and would be issuing a summons. Not to worry, they said, they know who did it and will soon have a word with him.

    Not to worry? I am surprised the cat owner did not give the barbarian some of his own stick.

    Active case tracing is showing up more people who are infected but have no symptoms (or had not developed symptoms at the time of testing). This was reported in the press but also at a meeting my wife attended today in Nonthaburi (she works with the MoPH). So I think the 'lockdown' will contnue, especially in Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Puket, etc. 

    No one believes the Thai Govt figures. Your inside access to information is most useful to all here. Please keep posting any news.

  9. How much are they giving you for the Enterprise in exchange?

     

    The way things are going there could be a recession in the not too distant future. Due to lockdown affecting business, Thais are hurting financially, so there could be a lot of used cars going cheap soon.

     

    Make sure it has a service history and the mileage is genuine. If it has been serviced by Benz they will have a record of this in their computer.

     

    Benz is expensive and complex to repair. So many look for a good non franchised mechanic as a Benz dealer will rip you off.

     

    Accident damage is common and often covered up with a bodge.

     

    Check registration book has no finance company stamp in it. If buying privately, check name in book matches seller's ID.

     

    Buying a used car in Thailand is a nightmare. If you don't know about cars, take someone with you who does.

  10. It spread by people flying to other countries.

     

    More flights / people go to the wealthier countries hence more spread?

     

    Fewer people flying to the poorer countries, hence less spread?

     

    Roadrunner didn't go anywhere, hence no spread.

  11. GPO (Govt Pharmaceutical Org) Rama 6 opposite Ramathibodi Hospital. (Assuming they are open through Covid?)

     

    Lots of basic meds available at low Govt prices. Many are Thai copies (generic).

     

    They have Vit D3 but I forget what strength it is. Bear in mind the Thai naughty habit of cutting the strength of the tablet to increase profits! Yep, they even monkeyed with the drugs.
