  1. I believe that any time - as far as Thailand is concerned. But I have my doubts where the European "ranking" is concerned... That's from personal experience.
  2. But very much depending on location, people "have to" go with mixed vaccines, and can't choose 2x Pfizer or 2x Moderna. That's (apparently) a no-no for a Thai person in Chonburi province. I heard of people from Roi Et (mixed) going to Buriram (2x Pfizer) to get their jabs!
  3. They contribute to the problem, but they're not the root cause. People will get their fill, whatever it takes and wherever.
  4. That thing seems to work as before. Used it with Lazada yesterday (11th) - no issue.
  5. There used to be a time when journalism was an artform. Apparently it's now another lost one!
  6. That's simplification almost down to the fairytale level. But that's what's been a popular tactic ever since the McCarthy days, and it worked out well for the weapons manufacturers - one brilliant profit quarter after another. The fact that the US has been chased out of Vietnam and Afghanistan is something that one day might find an explanation in the history books (and those are written by: exactly...), but the mighty military forces haven't seen anything yet that even remotely compares to what China, and possibly brother-in-arms Russia, can throw into the game. The remarkable thing is, however, that China didn't go all-out serious until the US & lapdogs started economic war and arms build-up against them. As for buying 1-3 submarines: however reality-deprived it may be, it's a commercial deal and not much more. Relatively speaking, it's not much money, and thus what it yields is - uhm - not much either. You get what you pay for. To suggest, however, that those floats might be trackable, just like Huawai mobiles, is a direct Marco Rubio white line on a mirror with razorblades...
  7. Make that The Creation (1967) - brutally wonderful group back then, with a guitarist who bowed solos!
  8. Exactly. It means whatever they declare it to be 2 days before 1st November. I have yet to read anything on "no quarantine", no stupidly expensive PCR tests (we sell you the cheaper ones but don't use them - they're not reliable), no busload trips with back to the hotel in the evening (and so forth).
  9. Switzerland ???? Lots of guns in the country's homes, but mostly because of military regulations, and hardly any abuse.
  10. That's not going to help in court! Don't rely on word of mouth. I'm sure you're allowed to defend yourself within reason. If the intruder turns up dead, they might well conclude that your actions where not within reason...
  11. AFAIK, "was charged" is not quite accurate. The police took him in for questioning.
  12. Yes, right, meanwhile... Are you quoting some quacks or home remedies websites (often by quacks), or are you actually a specialist in the matter? If not, please read up on Ivermectin here: https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/why-you-should-not-use-ivermectin-treat-or-prevent-covid-19 Treating horses or heart worms, right?
  13. I think it's not just Wise that has the THB 2 million limit; it may be a general limit. Talk to your Thai bank! Also, the full sum for a condo doesn't need to come in one lump; it can be several money transactions, but you will need a FET statement for each from your bank, to take to the Land Office. It is possible to send <deleted> ds through Wise to Bangkok Bank or Kasikornbank; they will write a statement that the funds are from abroad. Consult the help pages in the Wise website on the how-to. Saves a large pile of money vs. SWIFT transfers (mostly bc. exchange rate, somewhat relativized by Wise fees, but you still save big!)
  14. Also see: Hong Kong, where clearly Western guys directed locals in "optimized mayhem".
