I'd like to rank British on their Thai proficiency.
Though just a thought... I read somewhere that over 750k Brits can't speak English... Lemme find it... Here:
Ranking the British on their Thai proficiency seems rather pointless, since Thai is not a language used in international business, as English is. Also, the article you linked to says that 770000 PEOPLE in England aren't able to speak English properly. Nowhere does it say that they are Brits. Comprehension is an important part of reading in any language.

The PM getting chummy with Sleepy Joe has shown Xi where Thailand's allegiances lie. Bad move.

I LOVE the "if not for the jab he would have been dead" knee-jerk reaction.
My account is 100% accurate and truthful. But you carry on believing what you're told to believe. I'll believe my own eyes and experience.

Thanks for another fun and informative column. As usual, I agree with some of your opinions, and disagree with others. But isn't that just one of the many things that keep life interesting? Keep up the good work.

MG is an iconic British car brand.
The vehicle is built by Saic motor-CP in Thailand.
But the MG Headquarters is in Britain.
The headquarters may still be in the UK, but the brand is owned by SAIC, making it Chinese.

So when are preventive measures going to be lifted in immigration offices and banks then?
I've been to immigration offices and various banks in Chiang Mai without a mask and nobody even raised an eyebrow.

Time to rebrand the LOS as the Land Of Masks because the Thai people will wear them forever. Or until the government instructs them not to.

I am 52 years old, and beyond morbidly obese. I have had NO mRNA cocktails, and while having my mild covid diagnosis confirmed in hospital I watched a man half my age and weight being urgently admitted with "extreme" COVID symptoms. He'd had FIVE of the shots. Make of that what you will.

Why do some people think electrocution always involves death?
e·lec·tro·cute/əˈlektrəˌkyo͞ot/verbpast tense: electrocuted; past participle: electrocuted-
injure or kill someone by electric shock."a man was electrocuted when he switched on the Christmas tree lights"
The answer would depend on whether you speak American or British. The Merriam Webster dictionary has been known to modify the definitions of words, while the Cambridge dictionary will give you the original meaning.

Agree.
Totally agree.
Again, I agree.
I totally disagree. Without getting into the debate of the death penalty, it does not, has never done and never will deter people from killing.
It will sure as hell deter her from killing.

One wonders if they have worked out the kinks, and if expats who live in Thailand and have Thai insurance will be exempt. I know its only 300 baht but it's the principal of it.
The article states that the fee will be collected from ALL foreigners entering by air. Apparently the airlines will just include the fee in their ticket price, so they can't make allowances for expats.

Clearly Ukraine and Monkey Pox didn't capture the imagination of the peons like they were supposed to, so they'll keep flogging their covid horse.

Staff getting repeatedly jabbed every 4-6 months???? If I worked at any point of entry I'd be looking for a new job to save my life.

The mind control is still strong in this country. Every Thai I speak to is terrified to let go of the face rag.

All I want to know is how many years they're going to add to their mask mandate because of this.
-
When are they going to replace the "Land of Smiles" branding with "Land of Masks"?

Anything to keep the populace scared and compliant. And it's working well, judging by the number of Thai people walking the streets with two or even three masks on.

I agree. Unjabbed people should be placed in first class to protect them from being infected by those who have been queuing for their jabs but can still spread the virus.

Omicron hasn't caused all the cancellations, all the FEAR MONGERING around omicron has caused it. While case numbers are climbing drastically, hospital admissions are not. This is the variant everyone should get, to end the fear and the continuous jabbing that a lot of governments are trying to force their citizens into. South African studies show that immunity gained from contracting omicron protects against delta too. No more jabs!

Funny, UK 30000 plus a day with a highly vaccinated population.
Maybe Delta only weakens when it puts its foot down on the tarmac at BKK.
Or maybe Thailand, India and other third world countries haven't a clue what's going on by restricting testing and lying through their teeth.
I wonder which one it could be.
Or Asian populations just react differently to this virus than western populations.

If single-figure daily infection rates are the yardstick, why is Laos, which has only ever registered NINETEEN infections, still on the high-risk list?

unfortunately, people only see the DIRTY farangs on the news, since the news is generally busting people.....and people getting busted are usually complete losers.
If only they did articles on a nice Brit helping kittens cross the street.
TO be fair, I have seen many farang who have come to Thailand specifically to save the elephants.

Get vaccinated! Six Covid dead in a day in ONE Korat hospital - tragic scenes all over again
in Thailand News
Posted · Edited by LarryB
Spelling error.
I think that a lot of people getting all excited are forgetting that we are in cold and 'flu season, so there will naturally be more cases of all of them. Get jabbed, don't get jabbed, it's all a personal choice. Just do whatever you did to keep yourself healthy before all this panic started and you'll be fine. When did everything become a reason to divide people?
