Do you believe in the tooth fairy? Cases of pneumonia (including deaths) have tripled in Thailand in the last month. Hospitals generally aren't testing for Covid-19 but mis-diagnosing them as pneumonia sufferers which is what most Covid-19 sufferers die of.

And pneumonia sufferers only represent about 10% of the infected. Additional 3k pneumonia cases last month. You do the math.

Returned on the 3rd March and test results Negative ! it take about 48hrs to get the test results. ????????

Have pneumonia but no coronavirus ???????? 

You would not have been able to get the results that quickly even if they really did test you. 

Been once 6 years ago pollution was horrendous then cans imagine it now. Was like being in a city on it’s last breath. Doubt I will ever return. 

They have probably sold your piece of land ten times before you bought it.

The govt announced on 27/02/2020 that all voyagers from countries from virus affected countries would be subject to strict procedures including quarantine. Whether this has been put totally into effect not sure but a lot of Koreans were returned home this week for refusing quarantine. The Vietnamese govt and military are being really vigorous in their dealing with the virus.

Virus affected countries. That is pretty much the whole world now. Are the quarantining all arrivals

(Maybe the UK also might adopt the same rules about non residents as Australia, then you would get nothing!!)

 

 

Not sure where you got that information from ? It’s incorrect. Pension portability is available if you have spent the last 2 years in the country before applying for the pension. For full portability you would have had to work and pay tax for 35 years. If less than 35 years you get pro rata ie if you only worked 25 years  you would only get 25/35ths of the pension

Bangkok airways which is privately owned generates the majority of its annual income directly from the Koh Samui flights this information was released last year without Samui airport and the extortionate prices they charge they would go bust within months.

Absolutely spot on. And their numbers are already starting to dwindle. It could be the beginning of the end for BA. 

It’s easy to do yourself. I’m assuming you don’t want to keep any of the content on it. Just connect to iTunes and restore device. You don’t need the pin for this. Then you can set it up as your own. If by any chance it is stolen and was registered with find my iPhone/pad and has had the activation lock engaged then that is a totally different ball game.

Many stool test come back with false negatives. Giardia is one thing that is difficult to detect with standard stool testing and is recommended that 3 samples be submitted. My first step would be to have a PCR stool examination done. This is a more sensitive test that detects DNA and is much more sensitive and accurate than the standard microscopy tests. 
 

using a lot of antibiotics can cause imbalance in you microbiome that will generally rebalance itself given time. 
 

There is a general misconception that probiotics replace your gut bacteria. This is completely false what they do is create an environment for your own gut bacteria to thrive in. The problem is if you have an imbalance the probiotics could make it worse. Personally I would steer clear of then. 
 

best to practice a lactose ang gluten free diet for a period and see if there is any improvement. 
 

If no improvement I would then try colonoscopy and endoscopy to eliminate other possibilities.

It's clear that that recently the THB has strengthened due to its becoming a haven for foreigner money due to Thailand’s current account surplus, its significant foreign reserves and negligible inflation.

However, It's also clear that the idiotic manner in which Brexit has been managed (not Brexit itself) has weighed on the GBP and continues to weigh on it.

Both of these factors together have made the GBP especially weak against the THB.

You are correct as most don't realize. its Thailand's account surplus and massive stockpile of foreign currency reserves that is keeping the Bhat strong. its view as a safe haven.
