  1. Yes, because of the government's bottomless incompetence the options are severely limited and you thank them?? OK then...
  2. NNT- National News Bureau of Thailand: Thai developed plant-based vaccine "Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences will start the first phase of clinical trials on Thailand’s plant-based coronavirus vaccine, called the "Baiya Vaccine", next month with 100 volunteers taking part. Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said, during a visit to the vaccine's production plant at Chulalongkorn University on Friday, that, if human trials are successful, the vaccine will be ready for general administration next year, adding that it can also be further developed to fight coronavirus variants and help reduce the spread." Plant based?? If that's true then I think the plant in question is the one pictured below and Anutin has probably been a frequently used volunteer. And while we're at it let's just rename the vaccine the Baiya Vaccine.
  3. I wanna replace the 15 yo Yashima unit (worked without any problems) with a new model but want a unit that makes some (white) noise to drown out noises from outside and most new models are too silent. I stayed in a hotel a few years ago that had a model with a white noise option on the remote but didn't take note of the brand. Anyone know which model(s) have this option?
  4. Samui Plus: Only about 10 foreigners per day are visiting island OK, so it's Samui Plus 10 then....
  5. Prayut's plan for slipping out of Thailand after the next coup.
  6. Seven more countries land ‘very high’ on (US) CDC’s COVID travel risk list. "Thailand — changing from Level 3 to Level 4"
  7. I also registered and payed for a Moderna jab in Chachoengsao (Chularat 3 hospital) a while back. About 2 weeks ago I was told they would not be able to supply as per agreement and I then registered for a refund. Then a week ago I received an SMS saying I could get the jab anyway. All in all I will be very surprised if I'll be able to get a jab there at all.
  8. Star Wars (the original), a number of James Bond movies.
  9. There's one vital difference; one set of liars were elected and could be thrown out by the voters that elected them while the present bunch elected themselves by using the armed forces of the nation to take and retain power. Huge and essential difference, and one you continuously chose to ignore.
  10. The biggest disrespect was shown by those who repeatedly took power by force from legally elected persons and then went ahead and tore up the most democratic constitution Thailand has ever had and replaced it with one that assured their power even if not receiving a single vote. Now that's disrespect for the populace.
  11. Well, I really hope you've learned your lesson. The only chance for Thailand to evolve is for the cycle of coups to be broken.
  12. Amen. A large majority of the Thai electorate (google "landslide") repeatedly elected Thaksin or others in his orbit and from day 1 the old elite fought back. One PM they even got rid of through the courts because he hosted a cooking show and in the end they reverted back to the time honored Thai tradition of instigating a coup. There will be no political progress in Thailand until that tradition is eradicated.
  13. Yes, shame on them for wanting to elect their leader in elections instead of having leaders imposed on them by the old elite. How dare they!!
  14. Trying to influence the future of Thailand is not a game and protesting against coup makers and leaders like the guy you worship is a brave and honorable thing to do, words your guy knows nothing about.
  15. Or were they wounds from the arrest? Look, they might have gotten their guy but after the Koh Tao fiasco (probably one of the stinkiest murder "investigations" in Thai history, and that says a lot) I'm extremely skeptical of anything coming from the BIB. And a Burmese, again?
  16. Obviously that figure is way off the real number. I'm sure there are studies having been done that have calculated a more realistic number but I haven't seen one in ages.
  17. Judging by what me and (more importantly) my wife are being told when talking to locals the numbers is highly inaccurate. Most people we talk to know/know of several people sick from Covid and riding it out at home so extrapolating from that the figure should be much higher.
  18. Sure, but the post stated as a fact that Covid had no effect on the mortality rate and quoted some Dr without any links. That's not stating an opinion.
  19. And without a link/links so that we can have an idea about the credibility of what you're writing your post is just white noise.
