Do they have pitchforks and torches in Thailand? I know we've got the peasants. Just got to show them the way to the castle.

Careful what you say that could be misconstrued towards a different person

They would have got a fleet discount regardless of who they purchased them from, making the cost still expensive compared to Toyota etc.

 

As for those saying they are manufactured here, no they are not, they are assembled here from imported parts and they do attract a higher tax due to this.

I can almost guarantee that each base car cost at least 1m THB more per unit than the equivalent Toyota or Honda, insurance costs are higher, tyres cost lots more due to runflats, they MAY have managed to get them with BSI, so servicing included for the first 3 years, depending of course on the KMs not exceeding the allowance.

To cap it all, having previously owned 3 BMW, they are not very reliable, lots of small issues.

Insurance? What insurance

"High tech wizardry" sounds ridiculous in 2020. I assumed that internet connection and possibility to check up on individuals would be standard equipment in a police car many years ago.  

It is in most civilized countries

I must have a smart house I have a tablet a laptop and a pocket wifi ????

They can all be contagious and not show one symptom.  

 

That's certainly a dead-end job.

Last night on another news station it was reported that it's contagious while in the incubation phase

It doesn’t strike you as unusual that entire cities are being quarantined and roads dug up / blocked over something that isn’t worse than influenza?

 

Let’s say it mostly only kills the elderly. How many old people do we have in the world who could be at risk? How old are you? How about your parents? Aunts, uncles?

Well obama wanted death panels to decide who should get medical care and old folks were at the bottom of the list this was part of obamacare

With respect you shouldnt be doing anything other than operating the vehicle.

55 years ago I started driving old pick up truck 3 on the tree 1 handed so my right arm was free to hold my GF of course here with all the crazy drivers I do have to concentrate more but I still only use 1 hand unless I'm in traffic or passing and still drive better than 90% of the Thai drivers ( even driving on the wrong side of the road lol ????)

Drink driving gotta be a British term I drink drive every time I go to town I stop at 7/11 and buy a grape ready drink but I never drive drunk

UV is quite effective in killing bacteria and viruses, I think you're right. 

 

Which means the BKK mall vampires are going to be hard hit. Their immune system must be completely destroyed because of all the toxic whitening creams and lack of vitamin D.

As agreed across the globe, although this is a coronavirus as was SARS, it is not comparable.  Many show very mild symptoms or none at all and recovering without medical assistance.  It can spread more rapidly than SARS and proves the research that less severe viruses have a greater infection rate than do the more serious ones, e.g. SARS and MERS.

The problem with SARS was mismanagement.  Carriers were taking it across borders without knowing it.  The doctor you refer to, being already unwell and had treated patients with the virus, is not likely to happen today.  Some lessons learned.

China was guilty to a massive cover-up with SARS and even though their figures this time may be suspect, the procedures put in place should hopefully contain the disease.

 

I tend to believe the professionals from Europe and around the world as opposed to the info coming out of China.  

 

 

The Dr that died in China last week was one of the first to treat the sick

Accoding to the BBC and the newspaper that can't be quoted on here, China is suspending the sale of packege tours abroad from tomorrow. Now that will have the Thai tourism authorities worried plus many businesses of course.

Last night another station reported the same thing

why the government has to put money into this ?  what about the sugar GIANTS that make billions and should be partially responsible

 

sugar KILLS but most you sheeple do not want to hear that

Saying sugar kills is like saying guns kill guns don't kill people kill sugar don't kill over consumption kills over consumption of anything can cause health problems

Would soi 6 bars be considered a tourist attraction where's my money ????

Another news site reported that China was going to stop tour groups from leaving China hoping to contain the virus

You're not counting the cost of the tools.  Do you gamble at casinos often?  Show me the math. It's not in your favor. ✓

Depends on how much you are going to do only 1 small job then no it's not worth it but even then it depends on what kind of tools your buying basic hand tools are not that expensive and if you live here full time you should at least have a few tools
