I bought $4000 bitcoins end of 2019 when it was just below $3000 so it's done me proud. Over 15 times my investment in just under 18 months.
People are taking it more seriously now and the volatility is still there but not so severe. Still a lot riskier than gold though but I see people playing the lotto so up to you how you gamble. Just don't gamble what you can't afford to lose.

This can't go on forever as the whole show will fall to bits shortly, and i'm not talking about Thailand i'm talking about the world...
Remember the term new normal? I'm afraid it's man against nature at the moment. It will go on for as long as it will go on for.. So we just have to learn to live with it.. Anyone who is sitting waiting for things to go back to what it was before, is living in Cuckoo land.... There is no going back.
Pandora's box I'm afraid..-

In order to be rescued it needs to have somewhere to be rescued to. Pattaya is like the Titanic except it has no lifeboats and there are no other ships anywhere in the ocean.
Unless you can continue to swim in the ocean for 3 years drinking sea water and eating fish your chances of rescue are zero.
What is there will have to sink below the waves and only then can they build something new once this is all over.
The sex industry and bar girls are almost gone and even if it reemerges it will face tough competition from other places. COVID is not going away, even now the one of the new vaccines is ineffective against the South African variant.
It's going to be a long road. The problem is at the moment you run a mile along it and the mutations mean the road gets a 1.5 miles longer. At the moment we get a new variant roughly every 4 months but it takes 6 months to have an altered immunization to deal with it. The faster the infection rate grows globally, the faster new mutated variants will appear.
In the immediate future (1-2 years) it's likely that we will have to learn to live with it and any other virus that emerges like it.
There are some people who will risk it I'm sure and still go to Pattaya (if anything is still left there) to consort with the girls there, but to add long distance travel through multiple airports plus risk getting infected by close contact with the girls will make most people look closer to home to satisfy their urges. Perhaps their wives might get even more attention now ))
COVID is a moving target and until we are up to the speed where we can create reengineered vaccines faster than it mutates we can't win the race.

Its a sad day... I hope she recovers.. That's a hell of a weight to fall on you
What the hell are they doing building a Hotel in the first place?
Tourism is totally down the toilet... and will probably never recover

At least you know.
I always check any new appliance to see if the earthing is real. Sometimes they just give you an earthed plug but the earth connection does not exist or is not connected inside safely.
I would also make sure you also checked the earthing on your sockets as that is sometimes not what it seems. Not one but all sockets. I found 2 earthed sockets not connected to the ground in my place which I had repaired. My friend found none of his sockets were really earthed.
Assume nothing when it comes to Thai electrics and safety standards.
There are a lot of people who made that mistake only once.

The article then goes on to describe the impact of EU red tape.
The EU red tape was always there. It didn't just appear for Brexit. Other non EU companies were already dealing with it no problem.
UK companies had years to get ready, they just didn't bother to. Now they're whingeing like babies.
Remember the 7 P's of logistics
Prior Preparation and Planning Prevents P*ss Poor Performance.
Plan for the worst, and hope for the best.
I moved everything to Germany 2 years ago as I knew what a pigs ear the UK government would make of it.
Trading to and from the UK post Brexit would just introduce to much expensive overhead no matter the outcome.

They have to throw a few that way so it looks like they're doing something to smoke screen the extent of the the problem.
Even the police are begging for money now the brown envelopes have dried up. Getting behind on their condo and car payments no doubt,

Learn how to drive well in Europe, then come to Thailand to learn the skills they don't teach you there.
- Riding the wrong way against traffic on the main roads
- Overloading your scooter correctly
- How to carry 3 or more passengers
- Weaving in and out of high speed traffic
- Weaving in and out of low speed traffic
- Driving without lights
- Keeping control after drinking all night
- How to drive without a helmet
- How to pull out without looking
- Escaping quickly after a crash
- The benefits of driving without insurance
- Deciding accident responsibility with a tyre iron
- Earning money from faked accidents
- How to ignore the highway code.
There are some police training courses to help I believe
Part 2 about avoiding legal responsibility after a serious crash, requires you to be rich or have wealthy parents
That comes later once you get connected to the right people.
Good luck )))

It is bad news for pub goers in Bangkok with Thailand’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) on Friday that bars and pubs in the capital will remain closed.
Bad news for anyone who does not know how to drive a car, ride a moped, hitchhike or buy a bus/train ticket.
I pity the 4 or 5 people who will be left in Bangkok next weekend.

It would be wrong to assume that lights in the bathroom are fed off the light circuit - especially in Thailand were standards are possibly not followed
I think you the added the word 'Possibly' by mistake
Anyone who takes on Electrics in Thailand should start with the assumption that it's 100% a death trap and assume nothing. Work on the basis everything is live even if you switched the mains switch off.
I feel sorry for this poor guy. A simple safety check and he would have survived. He paid a terrible price for 'assuming' everything was wired correctly. RIP
If there is one thing I have learnt in life it is never assume anything, especially when you are dealing with stuff that can kill you..

t a moron! you CANNOT fake a COE, as every COE is unique with a number on the top left corner. It states the Code of the embassy where you applied for + a multiple digit number
The stamped paper is simply the information the immigration officer uses to look up the online COE.
I assume he didn't think that the Immigration service computers and databases Worldwide are linked somehow
Anyone who is stupid enough to think the printed paper IS the COE doesn't deserve to enter Thailand.

While the government says there is NO money at all to help these businesses, they are discussing spending billions on a bridge between Hua-hin and Pattaya and submarines, neither things Thailand needs.
Yes. but one could imagine the last 2 are riddled with kickbacks (as is the moon rocket probably). Got to keep those affluent lifestyles going somehow when the other kickbacks are drying up.
There is no money left for the people and businesses because it's most likely in Panama being invested in Rolex's and overseas condo's.

It would appear from the figures issued daily by the government the the Thai variant is a) very mild b) hardly contagious as it doesn't spread like all other variants, c) disappears as quickly as it comes! Clearly, with so few tests being done, the figures are meaningless. What would be interesting would be to compare the numbers of folks, particularly elderly, who have died, with previous years, for the each month. I remember someone posting the increase in the number of deaths of people diagnosed with "viral pneumonia" early last year at the beginning of the crisis and would be interested to see if the trend continued.
The closest you will get is the information on excessive mortality. ie the number of excessive deaths that occurred which are above the average expected during this time.
According to Thailand’s mortality data is taken from the Bureau of Registration Administration between March 2020 and July 2020 there was an 8.5% above average death rate for this period which equates to about 13,000 additional deaths than would have been expected. Since then, access to these records have been closed and the figures were retrospectively revised downwards by the government. Whilst there is no direct evidence that these excessive deaths are related to COVID-19 it is hard to pin down another clear culprit. More information is contained here with the source references.
https://www.eastasiaforum.org/2020/08/06/lifting-the-veil-on-thailands-covid-19-success-story/
Other research undertaken by the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, in Bangkok took an extensive random survey of staff and admitted patients (not specifically COVID related) within 52 cottage hospitals during April to June 2020.
The result showed that 3.7% of staff and 12.1% of patients already had antibody against SARS-CoV-2 in their blood, indicating that they had already contracted COVID and recovered . Again this cannot be directly translated to a National rate but it would tend to indicate that at this time COVID was far more widespread than certain people would have us believe.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.06.24.20139188v3.full.pdf
There is very limited data available to find the real picture as access to certain key records are now officially closed. New laws in March 2020 also restrict what Social Media and the Press can publish about COVID-19 to only information the Government approves. The punishment is up to 5 years imprisonment.
https://rsf.org/en/news/thailand-uses-covid-19-restrict-freedom-inform
In my personal opinion, I am reluctant to believe the figures stated by the government throughout this crisis come anywhere close to the reality of how widespread and prevalent COVID-19 was and still is in Thailand.
I leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions.

You have people fighting to keep their jobs in a dead industry. What else can they do but come up with ideas that can never work.
For a nearly a year they have kept themselves employed by coming up with nonsense. The alternative is for them is unemployment.
I would do the same. The idiots are the ones who continue to employ them.

Nobody in Thailand not die in this virus! Only country in the whole planet which not report almost any deaths in this virus! Amazing Thailand!
But they are busy opening ICU equipped field hospitals with hundreds of beds for people who have "mild symptoms or none at all".
I suppose it's so they can all have quick lie down before they go home to self isolate.
https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30401116?utm_source=bottom_relate&utm_medium=internal_referral
That should keep the 2500 staff members busy I'm sure.
Looking after people who aren't really feeling ill or who don't know they have COVID as they are Asymptomatic.
What other possible reason could they be opening for?
There's no serious COVID problem in Thailand, is there. Not according to these government issued figures.

The field hospital has 308 beds and over 2,500 personnel to serve patients
Why is this needed when no one in Thailand has COVID?
If half of the people hospitalized die as is seen in other countries, then during the last 10 months, only 134 people have needed hospital treatment. That's about 1 person admitted to hospital every 2 days in the whole of Thailand.Why do you need 356 hospital beds with for this? I thought people stayed at home and self isolated if the were asymptomatic or had mild symptoms?
The staffing ratio here means that even if it was full to capacity, there are still almost 6 staff for each bed for people who are not seriously ill.
There is a distinctly fishy smell here and it's not coming from a prawn buffet or a bar girls love socket.

All Brits resident in the UK will. As for the ones who left the UK, well they made their own beds and there they will sleep. You can't have your cake and eat it.

Time to leave Thailand I think.
Who knows what else this app will be listening to, watching, monitoring, downloading and tracking.
-
So now everyone is tracked. You have no choice and you have no idea what else the app does. Listening in on calls, collecting personal data. monitoring texts and emails, accessing the microphone to listen to external conversations, etc. The press and social media can only report what the government dictates is the truth hidden in COVID regulations. It's 100% 1984.
Be warned. Big Brother is watching you now.

Medical certificates now mandatory for driving licenses and new car purchases in Thailand
in Thailand News
Posted
Yes, one to prove you're insane enough to take a new car out to play dodgems on the roads of Thailand.
It's more the drivers of old cars that are the problem..
As for a medical certificate... 100 baht from Dr Brown Envelope no questions asked. (500 for Ferangs of course).
or just print one at home...
These plans are 100% fool proof...
Literally...
100% Proof that fools are making them up.
