A very serious personal matter to be sure, hence the reason to go public with it (and make money off this tragedy)!

Likely the bribery by officials to get rich and put the needs of the country after that. This is a worldwide problem.

Are socks with sandals legal there?

Hopefully, no new bad variants are on the way. Its all possible and we will all have to take a new approach to dealing with it, rather than mild versions that may require an annual innoculation.

You may have luck on finding info on visajourney.com. We used it in regards to wife's immigration to the USA. USCIS may be slow all over due to COVID. Naturalizations have slowed.

Severe infections and deaths are attributed to Delta which will likely get snuffed out by this new variant. Some people are getting sick from the new variant and hospitalized, but are out of the hospital within 1.5 days. The new variant is spreading like wildfire, is peaking and is expected to drop sharply like it rose. Things will (should) get much better very, very soon. We can only hope.

Pimsleur is a good option.

Ready for them to change their minds tomorrow.

Some of it may be everyone having access to the internet and seeing how the rest of the world really lives. Everyone wants better lives and opportunity to do better. When they feel they can't get that...and things get worse with increases in the concentration of wealth...

Not until the tourism industry in Thailand is completely decimated.

Seems like fewer serious illnesses, but this new variant is hitting hard and fast, so probably going to spike very quickly then fall. We can hope. And hope we are coming up on the end of the bad variants in the future.

And not to forget the beauty on the inside...

Good news!

The virus is expected to always be with us, likely weakening and annual flu shots available for it.

It's still putting people in the hospitals - nearly all not vaccinated. Hopefully, those numbers are dropping. Less severe, but still severe for many. However, many of us are all for dropping all restrictions and let things fall where they may. Rip the band-aid off method. Not let this all drag out as many will not get vaccinated.

The government will throw in the towel on their plans by the end of next year in order for travel to return to "normal." Perhaps just proof of vaccination. Three years.

Too bad. Not worth the risk of travel if going with another person or more. An associated story from that link. Same thing. Covid-positive Danish journalist Henrik Qvortrup forcibly admitted at Thai hospital - Scandasia

"Satisfied." Sums it up.

Next year will be fine. This will be the end of it after probably March or April. Open up! Go back to normal! (with the exception of proof of vaccination and...a test before leaving.)

Thought it was a British thing. Drink driving.

Somtam. Always blame the Somtam.

That Omicron is everywhere. Spreading like wildfire. Give up (and get vaccinated)!

Implants can be delicate. They should make sure you have enough bone to put in an implant. They may have to build it up before an implant can take hold. And it can be tricky with the angle they have to put it in. I got nine done in the states by a dental surgeon. My regular dentist doesn't do that type of work.

Israel is administering a 4th shot.

If someone came up to me like that in the States, or anywhere, it would immediately appear they were not normal. Nothing better to do than to leave the area and the situation.
