  1. I use my balcony (in my home country BTW, not in TH) mainly as a storage space. In winter it is too cold and in summer it is often too hot. Even in the lower 20s it gets a bit too warm in the afternoon sunshine, in the upper 20s it starts to resemble a sauna. I agree that most balconies are very underused considering how much importance people place on them.
  2. No mention at all that the most important thing by far in these aircraft is the completely modernized design and electronic systems that are like a revolution compared to earlier models from a pilot's point of view. Touch screens are just a minor detail.
  3. The likes of Turkey and Middle East are upping their tourism game with the profit from oil and gas being projected to decrease in the future. Even Saudi Arabia is planning to build tourist enclaves on their coast line. They are targeting mainly European customers who would find these destinations much closer to home than the South East Asia which would find more competition for Western tourists.
  4. Pay enough money and you will get people to work in agriculture. Oh, you don't want to pay too much for food? Do you prefer to throw away massive amounts of food, as is common almost everywhere nowadays? The problem with Thai pickers was they were not guaranteed a pay to cover their expenses so many went into debt for travel and visa costs etc. On a good year they could make more than an annual salary in the Thai countryside.
  5. I will never get a covid booster. As a matter of fact I regret taking the first two shots as well.
  6. I swear in the west covid is not appearing in the news almost at all anymore. Yet in the Bangkok newspaper we can not make links to at this forum there is still a section for it and at least a couple recent (from past month) articles with photos of very small schoolchildren all masked up. Go figure.
  7. I often wondered when living in Bangkok about what is Thailand really like as a place to retire due to being seemingly such a difficult place for anyone with limited mobility.
  8. Not my thought process and this interpretation tells more about your way of thinking. I think masks are mostly just security theater and usseless in any circumstances but I can in principle understand the need to avoid saliva getting into for example food or blocking the humidity from a person's mouth in a close contact work. I have sometimes seen clockmakers using a mask while working on an expensive watch, though it is probably quite rare.
  9. It is not common sense to keep wearing a mask ad infinitum. It is like clinging to a teddy bear when you are past your childhood. You won't see almost any masks anymore outside of a small number of countries in Asia, ever wonder why?
  10. But it is you who is defining what basic measures should be. The world has moved on from wearing masks everywhere, if Thailand remains the only refuge for people like you, just stay there please.
  11. Personally I couldn't care less. I have had it at least twice (tested) and refuse to let fear dictate my life.
  12. You can wear masks until the end of time, just don't expect others to do the same.
