I think it will bounce back in time but I fear the ownership will change. A lot of small owners will have been squeezed out and larger more affluent owners will snap up the bargains to be had in the currently decimated industry thus concentrating wealth in ever decreasing hands.
Not good news.

Damned if I can remember, it was over 30 years ago. All I do know is that they proved to be the most expensive words I have ever uttered.

On global level, the price of oil has risen as producers scaled back in line with demand from a covid shrunken economy and have currently not returned to pre-covid levels.
On a local level, migrant workers are in short supply.
Seasonally, it is a difficult, and still largely, unrewarding time to grow vegetables, the increased prices profit those further along the supply chain than the farmer.
Lastly, no one will thank me for saying it but in general terms food prices are too low. Governments, particularly China and the USA, know this which is why they heavily subsidise them. A hungry population is an discontented one, which no government wants.

Not easy to grow during the rainy season, especially so if it's organic. The slugs and snails happily munch their way through it overnight, the price isn't an issue as far as they are concerned.
When I can be bothered I go out with a torch at night and set about collecting them. On average I can collect about 500 of the bu##ers a night.
All I can say is I wish we were gettting 150 baht a kilo for our broccoli or, better still, our snails. ????

It's a long shot but have you considered asking the abbot from you local Wat to intervene on your behalf?

As no one has done this already, I had better trot out the old line - "a roll in bed with a little honey"
Truthfully though (and much more disappointing) , ginger tea and a fresh fruit salad.

I've got a vacancy to fill on our farm anytime you want it. When I finally got out here after retiring I weighed 79.8kgs now after a couple of years hard labour a mere 62.4kgs.
It certainly worked for me, I feel a lot better for it but for all I know it could be killing me ???? feels like it sometimes.

I know, I know - patience is a virtue - but let's be honest, how many tourists intend being virtuous for their entire stay here?

The software is a bit clunky. Try uninstalling it and then download the app again and reinstall.
I had a similar problem and this cleared it for me. Worth a try?

Out with the 40 million cheapskates (except they weren't, they were spending $62 billion in 2019) and in with the 1 million rich as croesus folk, if you can find them. Goodbye to backpackers, full moon parties, surfers, lonely guys looking for some company. Away with you, you're not wanted!
But stop to imagine an industry shrunk so dramatically in size. Think of all those empty airline seats, all those unfilled hotel vacancies, deserted restaurants, bars, unsold tatty tourist souvenirs, unused taxis and tuk-tuks etc. Then there are the all the people making a living from people working in the tourist industry, food vendors, motorcycle taxis etc. Just how many people would lose their livelihood?
Has this policy really been thought through?

My last transfer was on 5th from my UK bank account to my Bangkok Bank account. This went through as usual and shows as FTT in my passbook.
It might be worth trying to transfer a small amount mid-month to see what happens. This would give people a bit of time to attempt to resolve the issue before it gets to the serious matter of affecting their immigration requirements.

I don't know if they have altered the process at all but when I received my first and second doses I was not given any paperwork other than a small card stating the vaccine administered and the dates.
If you want to access the Morprom site and get your vaccine certificate you need an ID number. At the last admin desk you visit prior to being vaccinated you are given a form to present to the nurse/doctor administering the vaccine. Your ID number is on this form. 13 digits beginning 600000------. Take a pen and a scrap of paper to scribble this number down, it saves some hassle later.

Have you tried accessing it through the LINE website?
The link on the website takes you into the relevant google playstore page.

"To prevent the corruption of minors." Online porn can be (and is ) viewed by children. A quick look at Mum or Dad's search history, saved passwords etc and that's before we even get into using a parent's credit card.
Bars, by comparison, are easily policed and require a certain amount of disposable income.

It's basically a blockchain ledger system that is used to identify ownership of particular things. The decentralised nature simplifies and cheapens selling the item, particularly for cross-border sales.
They can also be used to record shared ownership of expensive items allowing for people to invest in very expensive items like fine art by purchasing small shares of the item. This I particularly like because it makes investments typically only available to the rich, accessible to everyone. This could really push the prices for such investments up a lot as it'll increase the pool of money seeking to buy.
They're also being used to represent non-physical items. These sometimes come with an income from royalties for the use of the item it represents so they can have some underlying value. Usually NFTs for non-physical items are in my opinion a scam though. I can't imagine anyone paying for an NFT representing a Shakespeare quote 50 years from now when the fad has passed.
Thank you, seriously. You have taken the trouble of attempting to explain it to someone whose grasp of these matters is non-existent. ????
A valiant effort on your part and whilst I can understand what you have written I find it difficult to relate it to the OP. NFT was the National Film Theatre in my day, what is it now? "Drops" is this putting something up for sale? OMI is this another cryptocurrency?
Sorry, stoneage man here but this is all beyond me. ????

Timing.
The UK vaccination program didn't start until February by which time they had already recorded 116,000 deaths.
Thailand managed to contain the first two waves but was unprepared when the 3rd wave, the delta variant took hold in April.

Not true, the thrill was the price and what people would do for basically nothing, they won't anymore.
So to summarise, your gripe is that because the standard of living has risen for much of the population, your "thrill" at being able to exploit people less fortunate than yourself for your personal gratification has been diminished.
Good grief!

You are going out on a limb here Mr. Globulin. I'll laugh but it's one thing to provoke your audience and another to openly antagonize them. The old adage about not biting the hand that feeds you, springs to mind.
Looking at the hour this was posted, forgive me for asking but was this done under the 'affluence of incohol' ? ???? Perhaps you should take more water with it, as my father used to say.
If you google 'gamma globulin' it brings up other searches, one of which is 'what is the function of gamma globulin?' I rather like that one. Troll? Humourist? Provocateur? I shall ponder that as I cut lettuce this morning.Enjoy your day, I must work for mine.

NANA plaza * Morning & Night bar to officially open for business on Nov 5 (also, Hanrahans)
in Bangkok
Posted
Has anyone informed Pol Gen Aswin Kwanmuang yet? He appears to have a different view.
I suspect some of the bars along soi 4 might open but I'm guessing the plaza will remain closed.
