Can anyone tell me the advantage of online check-in if you have luggage. Still got to weigh it in, have passport, and maybe temperature, checked. The on-line check in queues are sometimes longer than the other, or the staff simply point you to the next available one, checked in or not. And you show them your printed boarding pass.....and they print another for you.

Because there is in many cases a online check in line which is shorter.

hmmm, i will be 61 years tomorrow-

so <deleted> on your statement-

i set out to learn the language IMMEDIATELY when i got here 7 1/2 yrs ago-

and yes, i DO have a "bee in my bonnet" about this-

even were i to move to Sweden (where people are REQUIRED to learn English as 2nd language), i would start to study/learn Swedish IMMEDIATELY-

and i will ALWAYS state, categorically, that those who come here

to live (especially if they marry Thai woman- but regardless)

MUST learn the language AND the culture (at least some)-

otherwise you are just nothing better than a modern-day colonist...

 

i will ALWAYS take the hard line about this-

i am loved and accepted and respected in my community, and throughout Thailand, because i DO venerate the culture, speak the language,

and am an amazing musician (yes, that helps!!!) 

You also seem quite enamoured of yourself.

I like you. You want to fit in. A lot of foreigners have no intention of fitting in to anything other than a farang situation.

There are also many who do find a way to fit in quietly without wearing the announcement pinned to their chests like a big shiny medal of honour.

Bangkok is a tough place for socializing if you're in your late 30s/early 40s. Especially if you're not into the high-end scene. Then again, I don't know what people do at night back home if they're not into bars. Dinners and movies, I guess. Night markets are good, but they're a bit young. To be frank, you're gonna have a hard time meeting men, even for a platonic relationship. In case you haven't noticed, many of us enjoy the local women. I suggest cooking. Find a place with a proper kitchen. Experiment with some local ingredients. There's also travel. Take advantage of cheap flights, hotels, etc. if you can afford it.

How insufferably patronising.

From the reports I've seen a runny nose is not one of the symptoms of Covid-2019.  Fever, cough, difficulty breathing, but no snotty nose.

 

So you have 'manflu' not 'batmanflu'. ????

My understanding is it hits like a cold, then can progress to much more severe symptoms in a percentage of people afflicted.

Strange you should say this as about 2 months ago i had a cold,headache and fatigue as well mad dreams ,i woke up and was convinced i had gone back in time(i kid you not) it lasted two to three days then i was fine ,i also go to Queen Sirakit ,but was there in november for my eye tests . doubt it was Corona Virus as nobody had heard of it then .

Either way it passed within 3 or 4 days, just needed a good day of exercise to exorcise.

Please don't encourage people to use this totally unnecessary bloat. 

Amazing how often people rely or reccomend this old unnessecary garbage. Its the same with android utilities

How do you know if that's the problem? If the HD dies, sooner, or later, replacing it with an SSD drive.

Even then.

I'm actually having the same thing over the past 3-4 days. Very mild headache and fatigue, either mild or no fever, and insane dreams, lol. I do have a runny nose and a bit of a sore throat though, but all mild and a bit better today than yesterday. Of course it's getting me paranoid but it's probably just a common cold.

i spend alot of time wake boarding which can involve some spectacular crashes and water filled sinuses which sometime results in low grade but lingering sinus infections, this feels much like that.

the timing is poor though haha.

see you in quarantine

Actually I suspect another bug is going around Bangkok, I have had a mild headache and fatigue since early this week. no coughing though. wednesday I came home and passed out for hours.

no fever that i know of but some pretty insane dreams.

feel much better today, though low grade headache lingers.

Add that to pollution through the roof and chances of COPD and sinusitis are also very high.

im a total hypochondriac when i comes to reading about symptoms on the internet, but chances are so low, im not actually concerned and i have had very similar sinus issues before.

Are you serious? How am I bashing Thailand? Now two gunmen shooting indiscriminately at locals in the past week. This country has never had to deal with this sort of Western influenced behaviour before now. 

Get a sense of humour mrwhiner, it was a joke.

You should learn how to internet better.

What this doesnt mentiin or seem to take into account is after 9 glorious days of holiday, there is another spate of holidays beginning 1 may. 

Not a great time to be an employer....

Throw in a few sickdays and some holiday leave and you are gone for the month

The one that is 30cm was a fantastic buy. I've got some 10 year old fish and the biggest (big orange) is about 60/65 cm.

 

The Japanese kois are very traditional. The more modern varaties are very exciting. Israel fish are really exceptional and fast growing also.

 

Some Thai fish can grow big. The biggest kois in Prajek pond in Udon must go at least a metre.

 

All the kois in the Chinese quarter in Udon are the long fin (butterfly) strain.

 

I recently saw a fish that was black except for big golden scales. I,ll post some pics as soon as I get my new laptop. At the mo' I'm third in line for use of the daughter's mobile.

i love koi, and my pond has been going for about 5 months now, i posted some early pics a while back, but little reaction, pond is only 1600 litres and 35 cm deep but so far so good.

its built in in front of my bkk house and has only held guppies for mosquito control for years until i whacked in filtration and got the koi.

"The 33rd patient got sick from contact and her condition is not severe," Suwanchai said.

 

People who had come into contact with her were under observation, he added.

so this Chinese person has only had contact with one other person the whole time in Thailand ?

 

If I was to say what I want to say in response to this article it would be deleted 

 

I'm sure people have a good idea what I'm getting at

 

And everything you have to say would be alarmist dreck, simply becuase you lack the inability to read a simple news article and jump to whatever conclusion fits your current bias.

Thanks for that Waddy. That is what I am thinking also, I would definitely have to put in a lot of time and investment to get any notice from serious fish people. But in the meantime the shops are full of koi for 1000 baht a pop and more, and I doubt they're all coming from Japan. The market exists for average grade fish, I just want to learn how to access it.

I got  9 lovely koi for 700 thai baht. 1 was abot 30 cm, 4 were 12 -15  cm, and 4 were fry they basically threw in for the hell of it. All mutts but beautiful nonetheless.

Koi rrquire mud ponds for growing out, google to see how it is done in japan.

Which seems strange. Ordering a taxi / motorcycle through Grab is card pre-payment,...no cash involved. I thought the same for food. They'll have to enforce this pre-payment for food, then the buyer can seek recourse solely from the vendor and leave the delivery driver alone.

I pay cash with grab, I never prepay.
