  1. PTI but such obvious BS needs calling out. There’ll be a more equal playing field but in the main, the US, Europe and other Western aligned nations will still rule supreme. China is going to go through an almighty demographic crisis, Russia is already going through one that’s set to get worse. That’s not to forget that China already has its designs for Russia and wants its eastern territories, with its abundant natural resources, back. They will strike at a time when it makes the most sense, which will be when Russia has a power vacuum through the natural (or unnatural) demise of Putin. The only current and prospective BRICS nation that I’d be willing to put money on in the long term is India, but there’s one trump (not him 555) card that the west can play, and should do, that will dwarf BRICS.
  2. No we wouldn’t. We’d moan and tut and maybe raise an eyebrow but then the majority would tune into Love Island.
  3. Just because it appears that way in your head doesn’t actually make it true.
  4. Laughable.Do some reading, you’ll be amazed at how helpful it can be.
  5. Back in November 2021 I paid £350 for LHR to Phuket rtn for March with Etihad. Back in April I paid £650 for BHX to BKK rtn for June with KLM. (This was Economy Comfort and checked baggage) Last week I paid £580 for LHR to BKK rtn for October with Eva. I’m looking at Skyscanner now and you can get an indirect flight in October for £380with Saudi or £480 with Royal Jordanian, both flying from LHR return. Both include checked baggage (Something that the European airlines do not). The key as always is flexibility.
  6. As a Brit who’ll be flying to Thailand next week I’m pretty nervous about how this is going. I can envisage a ban on new arrivals from the UK if our numbers continue to rise as they have been over the past few days. All of this caused by some absolute plonker deciding to visit some s-hole in Africa.
  7. Daft question alert: If your Thailand Pass was approved before the latest changes do you need to apply again?
  8. Indeed - they did say that in the event that test and go is cancelled I'll get my money back but I'm still waiting for the refund on my second PCR test from March when I did the Phuket sandbox. Yup - I was expecting it to be cancelled in July.
  9. Great news but I’m annoyed with myself for already paying for a test and go package for my June arrival ????
  10. I don’t see this happening any time soon, July 1 would be my guess. It’s a little silly because as has been pointed out already a farang is more likely to be infected in Thailand.
  11. In the UK the common flu is more deadly than covid. This is due to the high vaccination rate and the sheer number of people who were previously infected. https://www.ft.com/content/e26c93a0-90e7-4dec-a796-3e25e94bc59b Most knew at the start that zero covid is a bird brain idea and China and Hong Kong were wrong to think that it was feasible.
  12. "A list of enemies" is something that children do. Maybe he really has lost his marbles.
