    So, do I understand this?

     

    Business will test employees and if found positive will house positives as well as close contacts in the company isolation facilities?  While still being paid of course.

     

    What a nightmare.

    The CP factory in ChokChai are doing this now. Not positive cases though.

    A week ago people ( tested negative) where accommodated in dorms to keep on eye on the situation. 

    Husband and wife across the road are doing this and Grand mother is looking after the two kids.

    Hope it works out for them, good people and need their jobs.

    In our town in the NE there are many volunteers working with the local hospitals. They have a central volunteer coordinator and they go around the villages testing people for Covid and checking on their well being, bringing them to the hospital if needed. Many foreigners don't know about this. 

    We have them come around also, local folk that do every thing they can to help in our small village.

    Never seen one of the local monks with them.

    How can anyone on this Forum be negative against Monks doing the right thing and desperate to help there people.

    Maybe the naysayers should try living in Afghanistan.

    Why Afghanistan? Unreal.

    I can not and have not seen a monk do anything but sprout nonsense or beg for food.

    Freeloaders the lot of em.

    Where do I sign up?

    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.

    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.
