Wait ! What about those 5000 Thai prostitutes (I didn’t say that) returning from Korea ? Will they have just the flu as well ? Obviously they’ll have to re convert to the status of bar girls first. 

Why are these girls in bathing suit ? No wonder they catch the flu and other foreign bits and pieces ..

The rebirth of the Amazons .. A worthy social experiment with a female only population. And a few males as sex slaves

The guy is a dick, first of all when there were no masks he said they were not necessary.

 

He then got his hands on some for a photo shoot, and said they were.

 

The masks have run out and now they are not necessary again.

 

Can anyone see the pattern here?

yes ... he’s aspiring for the top job. You can’t aspire well with a mask on ????

Let Les Misérables walk to the palace, Act 4 (or whichever) ..

Let Les Misérable walk to the Palace .. 

Kuweit 45 - Thailand 42 .. We’re catching up. 

What about the bats and the pangolin ?

An expert on the military as well as everything else are you? Did you read the title of this post before descending into your usual hysteria? Getting rid of the generals is part of the DOWNSIZING of the military, something that cannot happen over night.  You clearly have no concept of how an army works.

 

An army consists of a structure of different elements. As one element is downsized others follow accordingly otherwise the system collapses. It's not all about infantry and tanks (or submarines for the Navy for those that can't drop that bone) its about all the other bits of the puzzle. Do it overnight and chaos ensues.

 

As of 2019 there were 41 Admirals in the British Royal Navy and 40 capital ships- this is not just an issue for Thailand.  

 

Most militaries are top heavy- its not just about boots on the ground its about things like Defence Attaches in Embassies and all sort of other stuff.

 

Why not accept that they are finally being open about starting to address the problem instead of seeing the negative in everything? 

You are of course quite right. The problem here is trust ... Whereas we can trust the British Admiralty (at least I hope so), we cannot trust neither the seriousness, the willingness not the capability of the local Junta to abide by their words or policies as long as it runs the country. Restore civilian rules is a priority. Let a democratically elected civilian government impose a return of the army to their barracks, cancel their political status, and then reduce its numbers. Wonder what the stripes would think about such decisions. As long as a Junta runs a country (not just Thailand) its words will never be trusted.

Derailment in Australia few days ago, driver and pilot killed, others injured.

 

Yes .. gross human error in conjunction with bad tracks. Driver wanted to catch up on lost time. Speed at accident .. 40kmh ?

As bright as Thai drivers.. Must be the ASEAN driving virus ????

Of course all those comments are applicable to renown medical experts in virology and above all to the One who knows all before the World does, I name M. Donald Trump, the charlatan himself.

1. Better to stop the trade in exotic animals in China, and I think the Chinese government will finally get serious about this now.

2. That would disrupt the world’s economy so badly that the cure would be worse than the disease.

Well.. stop killing pangolins and Italy will be cured.. It is now beyond the exotic animal trade... it has spread into the principles of Free Trade ! Stop Free Trade ... and yes the economy will collapse. Isn’t it starting with the airlines losses canceling their flights to China. Next could be Korea and Japan ... Bats and pangolins will survive but could we survive an economic tsunami ..?

It is really hard to see how even the most ignorant, brainwashed, faux patriotic Thai Hi So can even begin to believe the complete drivel the junta are spouting

 

Surely there can be nobody who actually believes there are only 35 covid 19 cases in Thailand even in an educationally retarded low i.q country like this, very scary if there are....

I do ... because no one has died here yet. And because if I doubt I might as well lock myself in right now ? Any day I may be infested and not know about it for the next ..27 (not 14) days ! Another reason I believe is that the opposite would very quickly leak through social media, with a possible subsequent panic. And I am not yet aware of such leak. 

Why be so negative about Thailand’s ways? I have no reason to doubt authorities on this matter. Do YOU have proofs of the 1200 cases ? This is not Iran or North Korea. It is still a country open to the world. My suggestion would be that we encourage our surroundings to adopt preventive measure, such as cleaning hand when using supermarket trolleys, after using public transport, etc etc.. anything that may have a positive outcome, instead of the eternal Government bashing, however much we may dislike it. This virus is more dangerous than any government. 

a non event really .. not worth the ink. To paraphrase a past movie : Live and Let Die

The article is clear about the IO requirements as of late January .... No you do not.

TM30 often gets confused with TM28, with TM30 sometimes used as a kind of catch-all term to describe both but they are actually two separate requirements - and TM30 is still required.).

Just to make it clear: TM30 still on, TM28 is off..  is there a TM29 by the way ? It’s still a long way to TM..90 ????

Ten days before, a soldier killed at least a dozen people at the Terminal 21 shopping centre in the northeastern city of Nakhon Ratchasima. He had earlier killed his commanding officer, other soldiers at his base and several people at a Buddhist temple

Why at least a dozen ? It was 39 people.. not easy to forget so soon, unless minimization its on its way so as to sweep that "incident" (might as well call it like that, while we're at it) into History ..

Maybe reading « The Prophet » by Khalil Gibran could refresh the melancholic and lost souls of some expatriates.
