Are you experiencing “Pandemic Fatigue” here in Thailand?
Almer replied to webfact's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
You wouldn’t think that if you were in our village in the N.East with a huge Omicron cluster which I think followed New Year arrivals from all over -
Gov’t introduces financial security packages for freelancers
Almer replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I am real, my wife has 12 working for her, when one tried to sign on the system they asked her main place she worked, how is that for”very real” -
What I don’t understand is why we have been told to isolate but than instructed to go out to the clinic for a Covid test, i don’t need the likes of you to ask where I’ve been living the last 2 years. Read my initial post and assuming you got anything between your ears you will I hope understand

But we havnt tested positive havnt even had a test

It’s how it is

Agreed, and now after being told to isolate for 14 days we find ourselves amongst 1/2 of the village who use the sister in laws shop absolute chaos the medics were 1 hour late coming and and another hour of set up and photoshoot, the head man is in his element on the mic but shows what a pr!ck He is after selecting all his family and friends to go first, typically shows Thailand at its very worst, my feeling if I get Covid it will be sat in this tent with many not distances themselves and twice people around me have hat to be told to put masks on there face not there chin.

A useful way to gather data not only the freelancer but also who they work for -
My Wife’s sister and family have just gone Omicron Positive and live next door, the sister owns the village shop. The health people came out to confirm that they are in fact positive, at which time they told us to stay in for 14 days and put red tape around the perimeter of our house, my request to why fell on deaf ears. We have now had a phone call from the medical team to go to the local clinic for a Covid test <deleted>

Education inequality – The state school teachers’ dilemma
Almer replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I was truly shocked when my wife’s daughter who is waiting to go to High School asked me to check her on line english work before submitting it, her absolute lack of understanding of anything connected to English was truly shameful for somebody who is waiting to go and further her English, many questions were unanswered because of the understanding or lack of, recently I had 2 neighbors in the village ask if I would tutor there children 5 in total, i am tempted just to help but how much grief would I get if somebody gets upset I wonder. -

42-year-old ‘Big Bike’ rider dies after crashing in Banglamung
Almer replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I did something similar, a bike rider came off in front of me and head on into a car, i was driving a coach in Switzerland and had to change my uniform which was covered in blood before I could carry on after police arrived, not another word was spoken by 40 people on that coach for the rest of the day, I had a letter of praise from both the police and family of the deceased, and yes it is quite a vivid memory. -
