Is it possible to have had Covid without knowing it?
Well that's what they told us, believe it if you want. But its stretching the imagination to suggest that all unvaccinated people displayed no symptoms,

PS. what's this obsession with pad krapow anyway
I think its because its one of those words that Thais can understand even when mispronounced by a westerner. I once saw a guy get quite upset when his Khao pat gai arrived as khao pat khai

Don't really have a problem with spicy , its the sugar I cant be doing with, When I ask for no sugar some of them look at me like I'm crazy, I have started telling them I am diabetic and that has proved rather successful.
I couldn't give a damn what other people eat, food is of course a very subjective matter, I deliberately avoid tourist places, that helps
There are many Thai dishes that are not spicy at all, for those who do not like it hot.

Some restaraunts will also ask about how spicy you would like your dish which is a good idea.
In theory its a good Idea but in practice its a waste of time, as its a very subjective matter. I mean how would one reply "not too spicy" "medium"
"normal" each means different things to different people, There is no standard, Until one can refer to something like the "Scoville scale" for reference any descriptions are pretty much meaningless,

Got covid at the present (must be the latest strain). No different than the last time, off the beer for a while & lost appetite. Just hope I can lose a few pounds this time round.
That's the spirit, I've had it at least twice, possibly more, I don't bother testing these days, One just has to knuckle down and soldier on, Loss of appetite and a consequential weight loss is a positive side effect, even if only temporary. I soon put the pounds back on, its pity I can't get the long covid version, if there ever was such a thing.
Strangely , well not really, but I believe "long covid" is only found in countries with a welfare benefits system in place

No plans to cancel, AND even if variants are getting milder there are still lots of deaths around the world. Still simple:- "avoid it like the plague".
Why? it is absolutely nothing like the plague and it never was.

lookup Dr. Mattias Desmet on Mass Formation Psychosis his theory made it to limited "mainstream" media but I believe that was enough to start the tide turning against the narrative...shortly after was the Ukraine thing and then "suddenly" Covid was almost forgotten overnight.
Indeed it disappeared faster than I could ever have imagined. For years and years it has been one sort of bad news after the other, when was the last time we ever had good news? Somebody should consider looking into Mass depression psychosis as I don't think the human brain is wired up to continually receive only bad news day in day out ad infinitum

I endured the covid era from within in the UK. I was luckily able to work all the way through it and didn't visit this website much. I have just scanned through the thread about the guy who wouldn't wear his mask, AS I expected the few members on here that I respect come out of it looking just fine. However many of the usual suspects do not. if they were to revisit their posts they would surely suffer from buttock clenching embarrassment.

Questioning the narrative is something that I've been doing since I was a teenager, and I just don't know why so many billions of people fell into step like obedient sheep when it came to covid. There have been times I've brought up the possibility that the narrative is not correct with family members and they just started laughing at me and calling me a conspiracy theorist. It was almost as if it couldn't even be questioned, it was that sacred.
It was definitely one of the most bizarre things I've witnessed too, and I continue to question nearly every aspect of it.
I questioned the narrative on here a few times and was rewarded with a suspension, I doubt I was the only one.
But the thing that really got on my nerves was the tall doom monger from bangkok who insisted on reposting every graph and statistic ever released, he is still at it too. Why for gods sake? No different to those walking round with "the end is nigh" placards on their backs
Calling somebody a conspiracy theorist or denier is just a way for those unwilling or unable to discuss things to halt any further dialogue,
I rarely believe what governments tell us, it may be because we've been lied to so many times in the past, but I generally assume the opposite of what they are saying to be the truth, however as you say billions of people obediently fell into line without question, and aggressively berated those that didn't. I find that more than mildly concerning
They have, in the UK. started some sort of sham inquiry in to the governments covid response, I'm sure the results of which were decided and probably written long before it actually began. Several prominent people are already denying they called for lockdowns and are being shown to be barefaced liars. Sadly Its a foregone conclusion that we will never know the full truth.

Your restaurant example reminded me of a 24 hour cafe that had 3 floors. The top 2 floors were closed from the early evening! So, instead of spreading the few nighttime customers out through the place, the law forced everyone to sit in tighter confines in the smaller first floor! Similarly with 7-11 being forced to close at night... so they were allowed to be open when they were busy with loads of customers shopping and waiting in lines through the day, but when there were a smaller number of customers that wouldn't crowd their little store and when they'd have no lines, they had to close!
It was truly an amazing time to live through and see firsthand how hysterical people can become over virtually nothing more than their imaginations! But scary when it happens with totalitarian wannabees in charge.Hysterical is a good way of describing the behaviour of many, but in fairness, it wasn't just their imagination that was to blame, in my opinion the mainstream media have an awful lot to answer for, ok they were subject to "emergency government regs" which basically forced them to stick to the official narrative, but they milked it for all it was worth, and still do. Fake news was ok as long as it followed the guidelines.
Do you remember the stupid nurse who claimed there were hospital wards in the Uk overflowing with dying babies? total b/s but it went around the world, When she was called out over it she said she was "just trying to raise awareness"
The government at the time was running around like a headless chicken, but I suppose they were only trying to do their best , at least in the early days, but later on i'm pretty sure they were using the opportunity to see just how far people could be pushed and manipulated. Nasty people like Tony Blair and those at the WHO are already talking about the next pandemic, which is a bit strange for what is considered to be a 1 in 200 year event.
Apparently there were plans in place to force pet owners to euthanise their cats and dogs, thankfully they were never put into action, but if they can force people to do that then they could pretty much force them to do anything.
A lot of what they implemented was nothing short of laughable we have heard a few examples here already and no doubt we will here more as those with better memories than me make further comments

They sit at the table with masks on and as soon as the food arrives they remove their masks, and start passing the food around using their own spoons to get the food from the dishes. Hello! If you are afraid of catching covid, is this using good sense and reason?
Ah yes common sense and reason, I remember those rather important qualities that most people used to posses. But unfortunately as we both know they were the first victims of covid. Closely followed by free speech and the economies of most nations It has been ,probably, one of the most bizarre things we will ever experience,
My faith / trust in the media was always fragile but it has been completely destroyed now (probably not a bad thing) Also a little more worryingly I have a lot less respect for the medical profession, and a total disdain for anybody described as an "expert" they should be shot on sight.

As I've already said. I don't know if I have any Muslim friends. I don't ask people's religion. The same goes for sexuality.
A very easy way out of answering what must have been a difficult question for you. Do you avoid condemning FGM to women. There would be no need to ask them what sexuality they are. just out of interest did you consider the events that took place in Israel an act of terrorism or do you consider Hamas to be "freedom fighters"
Palestinians are not wanted by neighbouring countries for good reason, but no doubt will soon become another unwanted burden on the UK. it is unlikely they will become inconvenienced by the UK's tightening of immigration requirements

I have rarely ever seen anything so silly and unscientific in my life, that is pure fear, unless they're in Bangkok and they're wearing the mask to ward off pollution, which 99% aren't.
my personal favorite being those who wore masks whilst alone in their cars. although to be fair I think it was an enforced legal requirement to do so in Thailand.
Another was the requirement to wear one when standing in a restaurant but being allowed to remove it when sitting down. and who could forget the night time curfews. Did some really believe covid was more prevalent after 9pm

Africans face restrictions about going to Thailand , its difficult for Africans to get Thai Visas
That's why most of the unsavory characters found loitering in "soi africa" inevitably end up in the immigration detention center.

Now, your hatred of an entire faith, assuming everyone of that faith is evil, leads you to insults and putting words in people's mouths.
How strange.
Not sure who I have insulted or what words I have put into anybody's mouth?

I'm getting a bored with this now so here is my final comment. I am guessing you are pretty big on human rights, diversity, inclusivity and all that.
How do you stand on homophobia and gay rights? No doubt you are all for it. Probably have a few gay mates too, why not its perfectly acceptable these days, Why not try asking your muslim friends how they feel about gay rights, and while you are at it you could try asking your gay mates how they would feel living under a muslim regime. Even better why not arrange for both parties to meet in order to discuss such matters. that could be a very interesting dinner party. Who's side would you be on?
Anyone else hate the New Year Family Gatherings?

"people who can't speak english" You do realise where you are don't you ? Unbelievable comment. Have you even considered learning some Thai
"annoying old people that are treated like gods but have never done a days work in their life" What an unpleasant and ignorant remark, you need to learn some respect, How on earth could you even begin to know their work history with your obvious lack of language skills ? You should certainly be looking at the floor , In shame !
I hope your long suffering partner has a brother, because it looks to me like you need to be taught some manners, or maybe they should just give you a lift to the airport
You were not designated as a babysitter for the kids, its just that all the adults want nothing to do with you, why would they?
Honestly, some people!
