Mabye but I was comparing the bad effects of the drug and coffee is not so bad, alcohol is bad, worse then pot. Its ranked worse as pot and it does more damage then pot. yet alcohol users seem to feel they are so above it yet its just in their perception. The facts are different.

I agree with you.  Most are snowbirds here now. 

 

Just saying, until they scrap all possibility of being banged up on your 2 week holiday, the masses will not / can not return.  

 

They have vaccinated the population to a satisfactory level, I see no reason why they don't open up, completely, other than perhaps a hospital capacity issue.  

What level you talking about?

As of Oct. 27, only around 42% of the Thai population has been fully vaccinated against Covid-19, according to Our World in Data. In comparison, other countries in the region such as Cambodia, Malaysia and Singapore have had more than 70% of their population fully inoculated against Covid.

Try again

I have yet to meet an Aussie at the Australian embassy they are all Thais yes he might have had dual citizen ship but why point that out?

When are people going to learn that alcohol is a dangerous drug that alters brain functioning. My guess is never, and the sad reality is that innocent victims will continue to be murdered by those who abuse it.

My brain is still functioning at 74

So when a Chinese junket tour of high rollers get flown into Australia on a private jet, for free, you think all the brothels in your Australian city make more money than the "whales" lose in money.  

 

It's millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars, and that's just the high roller room, not to mention the many more tables down stairs where regular gamblers play.

 

Lady Drinks and Bar Fines, and some fool ringing a bell here, are no match for gambling, especially Chinese gamblers who are looking to get their money out of China.   

 

 

Lady drinks, bar fines ?There is no such thing in Australia

I have drunk alcohol for more than half the days of the past 30 years.... and never once killed anyone, or even tried to attack them with a knife. So is alcohol really to blame, and do they really need to mention it two or three times?

You are correct I started drinking alcohol when I was 15 now I am 74 never ever got in to a fight it is not the alcohol what caused it
