Nothing open at the moment. Maybe next year

I carry around an old yellow piece of cardboard dated 02/04/2019 with a few non descript words on it and a couple of my daughters school stamps placed beside the words.

Got me into the Palace last week.

It’s not just shopping.

 

My kids both got jobs with different companies during the Pandemic, my son went into the office once and has since worked from home, my daughter never went into the office, worked from home throughout and is in the process of moving to another company which is offering ‘working from home’ as an option that has no impact on the salary offered.

 

Its not just youngsters, all manner of hitherto office based jobs are now being offered with a remote working option.

 

Happy news for people with skills that can be used online to sell and who might want to live somewhere remote from were they work and are paid.

 

 

 

 

My sister in law tried the work from home deal but got fired.

Her job required her to clean hotel rooms.

Work from home? Get out of here, what a joke.

Does anyone actually WORK anymore, you know like build roads and things.

I am from Canada. Been riding bikes my whole life.

Been here 17 years. Own 6 bikes.

Riding a bike in inherently dangerous. Canada or here.

Be Aware. Beware.

Don't listen to all the naysayers on here moaning about how dangerous it is - quoting stats. Almost all are young men, drunk, speeding, at night.

Don't do that and you will be fine. Most probably.

Yes you need to be Alert, this country needs more lerts.

E Bikes? Think of a busted thong. 

Not yet for this fella, maybe in the future when the infrastructure is in place but I still have a 110 click that works just fine and a big old pick-up. Not just now thanks.

OH! For crying out loud. Religion just does nothing for me. 

Desperate times for the welfare recipients. Wish I had a robe. and a rice bowl

TAT is exceptional at controlling the numbers, just no good with reality. 

Good luck Phuket is all I have to say about that story.

I left Thailand last year after 20 years there.

 

Barely a day goes by here where I don’t rejoice in the fact that I no longer have to deal with or think about mosquitos!! 
 

Even if I do get bitten by one here in Australia (rare anyway) I don’t have to think about Dengue (which I had in Koh Chang 15 years ago and was the sickest I have ever been).

 

It did always amaze me though how seemingly completely unaware of Mosquito minimisation Thais were…standing water everywhere and not a care in the world! And no shortage if Dengue among the Thais either.

Dengue, Ross River fever and numerous Mosquito born diseases are alive and well in Australia also mate. Do not let your guard down. 

Not another nutter 55

Grog is keeping me indoors and I really should be drinking more.

Just stay home boys and girls.

I have a Nissan 2.5 diesel that smoked quite bad, started and ran ok but most of the breather tubes were cracked or broken so I changed them all and the thing goes even better now and zero smoke.

Glow plugs are the first place I would look at. If they look rooted then they more than likely are. 

What fuel do you use.

Good luck.

Whatever they're smoking, I desperately need it now!

As the old VB adds used to say " I think I will have one now" even though I am giggling already.

Unbelievable.

Bit the Thai housekeeper!

Hope the dog is OK

The FILs dog bit my daughter when she was about three years old, just a nip on her face and she still has the scar. Daughter was poking the dog with a skewer and she does not poke dogs anymore.

That dog is long gone. 

Burn it and go home alone cobber. 

Only having a laugh, I would be looking for the same advice if I was to take the wife back to Australia.

Does your embassy not help?

Good luck

And the nearby power poles breathed a sigh of relief. 

RIP to the fella but this sort of incident happens every hour here.

The world will return to what it was before.

 

We have had influenza pandemics before that killed millions.  Even now with most people having been exposed to it and vaccines available it still kills around 500,000 people per year.

 

Covid will be like that too.  It will be around and people will die from it.  But it won't be as devastating as it is now.  It will become the norm just like flu. 

 

Never going to be the same again after this event. 

What can you say? The place just gets more crazy every day.

Looks much like the Beer Garden set up in Pattaya, good food in that place most times.

By the the time things get going again in Thailand I think I may be gone.

I learn something new every day by reading about other peoples fails. 

Is it time to worry yet?

I think I might move some Thai assets offshore in the morning.
