"Like lemmings", have you chosen the right word chap....?  ????

Yeh why, to be a lemming is to follow others blindly

A lemming is somebody who does whatever the crowd does. Lemmings follow the prevailing wisdom without really questioning that wisdom.

Its a tough choice. Make no mistake Thailand has done superbly over containing Covid unlike my own hapless government in the UK which have acted with catastrophic results.

I suspect the borders will open later this year but with really onerous restrictions in place first that will put off 95% of regular visitors.

 

I cant praise Thailand enough personally for the superb job they have done in controlling Covid overall

Well I was speaking to a friend who I haven't seen for a while

His brother died in January back in the UK after a trip to Thailand

It was a shock to me because I'd had a drink with his brother in December and he was in good nick. 

His cause of death was stated as pneumonia back in England

He had spent New Year in a village with gf up in the boonies and came down with terrible flu like symptoms

Several people in the village had it too and two subsequently died

He got a flight back to the UK as he felt so bad and passed away a few weeks later in hospital

Could have easily been Chinese flu 

I would think there are lot more like that throughout the country in December, January & February, before there was any testing whatsoever

are you in hua  hin? i ask because there is a new bus service set up just north of the Sombat terminal that goes HH to ekamai bus terminal. sorry i don't have the number. if you are in bkk maybe look around at ekamai for their sign.

Cheers for that, in Chaam presently.

I really want a direct bus to the airport

I've been past the station where Bell Travel departs from and it has been closed

I'll probably just get a taxi

Gonna be more than that after today. Theres already been 2 dead cops I believe and now there's a video going around social media of a white male being beaten to death by a literal mob of black men with skateboards and rocks, and then robbing his unconscious body. Absolutely infuriating. These are not protests, these are organized and funded attacks. 

 

This is what the liberal media have been pushing for last few years and they are getting it now, 100-fold. Horrible. 

 

Id love to post video of what's going on but apparently thats against forum rules. 

What sort of twisted animal responds to the above comment with a laughter emoji?

Absolutely zero updates on the website and can't make any bookings 

Does anybody know when this service will be up and running again?

Another head banger, I'm sure his local monk will want a touch of his luck too, converted into cash

So what? I consider them minor drug offenses. Minor theft. I am personally guilty of all of those charges, though I have never been caught, other than a minor pot possession charge when I was a juvenile, and a charge for stealing a car, when I was 15. I was a major thief until I was 15. I stole alot of stuff. It was a hobby for me. Cars, motorcycles, and merchandise from dozens of stores. I grew up around real crooks. Kids who did far worse stuff. Does that make me a terrible person? Does that justify being murdered by a cop years later? I was dumb kid. I was lucky I was young, and those charges were expunged from my record. What can I say? I grew up in a rough neighborhood. I was easily influenced by my friends. I am now reformed. More or less.

 

He did not commit any violent offenses. Are you justifying the murder, based on his record? If a cop looked at his record, I could see why they would proceed with caution. But, the whole point of this anger and public protest, is that even after he was subdued, the police violence continued. None of this was justified on any level. It is astonishing to me, the high percentage of white men in this world, who cannot admit to the failings of white men. Are we all angels? Do we have a special dispensation of some sort? What on earth are you saying with the above post?

When the cops get the call through about a crime from the station, do they get advised about any priors ?

That's a bit rough don't you think?  Besides i'm sure all the Corona fear mongers will have them marked for death for not following social distancing laws.

It's the beginning of anarchy and can't be allowed to spread

Where are the roof Koreans when you need them!

I read the other day that the government is looking to borrow a trillion baht to keep it going and to pay for this Covid business, i wonder if this free holidays are part of that loan they're looking to borrow...

Wonder how much of that trillion will find it's way into offshore accounts?

President Trump will sign an executive order regarding social media companies tomorrow

Why are we seeing all this ridiculous reenactments?

Prayut said he had banned them.????

What on earth were plod thinking about? They must have been aware that something like that would happen.

Ohh silly me, that would have meant thinking first before doing anything.

They are completely useless aren't they

I can't see one positive in performing a reenactment
