With no prostitution as they always claim, it will be finished soon. Besides that there will not be a spread of Covid because a while ago, the Governement wanted that you wear a mask all the time also for sex... so....

Not exactly... Why were the customers only going to 1 employee?? That is strange.. Besides that 3,5 % interest a month is a bit much( 42% a year)... Why did the manager not question what was going on every last days of the month?? and much much more....What happened with the money?

I do not blame anyone....

So if you hae the complete background tell us please... I know that if you want to make money you have to take the risks surely if the normal interest is not even 1%. Same as you can buy gold on internet for a very cheap price... It always doubtful. Now I don't know what happened but is already a few years going on, so probably a long term investment... People should always beware of too rosy figures

we don't know what they did with the money... invest in bad enterprises?? Stock exchange? Crypto?

If the interest is low and you want to make more of your money you have to take more risks. I worked a long time in the bank and I know it for years... If it goes wrong there is always a chance that you loose your money more or less, but that is the risk.. Results from the past are not sure in the future..

So why do they promote travelling than??? They want to stimulate the local economy by giving extra days off and even partly sponsored by 50/50 scheme, and now they call not to travel if not necessary to prevent spreading.....Organizing countdown parties, everything must go on, but please don't go they say... We will never understand these totally opposite announcements

On Christmas Day there was a big party in the temple near my house with very very loud music a lots of people, but no police in sight... My Christmasdiner with background music was overwhelmed with the bass of the music from the temple... even a conversation with my partner was not possible.. Nobody ever heard of the damage the noise will do to their ears?? And especially a temple should give a good example and take care for the people, but mostly they allow it all the time

also not the news of the Omicron spread by the foreigners

If you don't know what Christmas is about, it is difficult to explain to somebody else...and 3 wise men and a virgin even I would not know what it could be...

and than there is a topic of the triple chance to get infected in airplanes.....So good news for Samui, bad news for the infectiongrade in a few days

Again tourists.... But I am almost sure that a the menatime many times Thai people have Omicron too... As another writes , that this virus spread more and quickly that other strains , it is impossible that no Thais are being infected yet..so if 3 tourists cam to Hua Hin with Omicron, there are already a lot infected people there. But the truth we will never know

I agree, but gay people are not treated as equals and want the same rights. It starts already that gay people have to tell that they are gay... Ever heard of a hetero said to the family and friends.. Hee I am a hetero... So same rights is the same... can not because you are not mixed couple.. and so on.

They need a study for everything.. I don't nee dto investigate I know with a bit of common sense..Household debt is very high, that means people pay with loans, than there is group of very poor people, who have to struggle every day to get food and if there were not free handouts maybe they had not food at all.. It was the whole year all over the news. In fact 75 % don't have money or enough for daily life On the other side there is group who have so much money that they don't know what to do with it. Look on the road and you see Volvo, Mercedes, Lamborghini and Ferrari cars... They are not cheap in Thailand. they want to buy expensive flowers and plants, to show off. They can go on holiday too where ever they want with who and long and nobody cares even paid partly with 50/50 deals.. Now these people are getting 30.000 THB for shopping for tax deduction too as reason to stimulate teh economy, but it is shameful in a country with so many people who struggle in daily life.

People maybe WANT to marry here, but this year there were not so many foreign marriages I think because of the lockdown and Covid restrictions. Yes Thailand is a good location for marriage, and if the samesex marrige was approved it would surely boost the economy, but this year and next year it will surely not be on the top of the list. News for people who want, not for people who do/did

it is too complicated for me... He ran away apparently before the results of the test, but he needed a negative test to enter the country, Than they catch him and 3 negative tests later he will still be charged... It seems that if we say or think you are positive we make it like that....Not good for the tourism

It is a shame salary......So much money is going to Education... where is it spend on?? I know the answers, but this is ..... no words for it

You can find the number on Covidvax Thailand

I agree that kids are not the priority group, but there are more people who are waiting for the first or second jab.

There are still so many people who did not their first jab why give people than their 4th already??? 55 million Thais got 1 jab and 45 out of them are fully vaccinated..Is it not better first to give everyone at least 1 shot before you start giving a fourth??? The 3rd and 4th appointments block a appointent for someone who did not get anything yet

Surely agree there can be other things be done but home quarantine is not working in THailand, and for the healthy people of course they can work, but who will be healthy? The Corona virus can give people no symptons but they can spread it... and of course the weakest will die first, it is nature. But the Government take stupid preventions as a alcohol ban in restaurants, Is there a difference between drinking soft drinks or coffee/tea instead of a beer or wine? That will do a lot of harm.. But there are more things a total lockdown is not neccessary but I agree that the Thai Government is too lazy and don't have the skills to rule, but that we know already for years... but we can not change that yet...and I wrote a long time ago already let the Thai people dig to put the cables under the ground, and clean the riverbanks etc so they can earn money and the country will be better, and the vaccinations we all know what they did, too slow, and bad quality with result that people need already a third or 4th dose whil other people not even got their first jab

Nobody can foresee the future and life is very fragile... Surely when are getting over 60. Driving on the road is more dangerous. But I am not talking about myself I am talking for sake of the country. Not much is known yet about Omicron and with boosters you can be better protected, but that will take time and maybe if I read your comment you fear death every minute.

Sometimes you have to be realistic.. You can enjoy freedom and don't care about thing than yourself, because probably you feel blocked in your life, but if you better idea's i would like to hear them. It is easier to comment without solutions, because nobody knows what will happen if you act now as in normal life, no vaccine, no mask, go to mass events as you did in 2017 and see what will happen. My alternatives are not so many, but I have lost 2 familymembers of Covid. At that time they just started to vaccinate and I can tell you it was not nice to see that someone is suffocating. I was against vaccination too, but when that happened I changed my mind. It is not panicking it is preventing for worse....

OK everybody has an opinion, but what will happen if the Omicron will make a lot of people ill, serious or not, but still ill. What will happen with the economy than? Is it not better to prevent than to cure? Nobody has any experience in this matter but everyone think they know the best. Indeed Thailand need tourism, but it is not only killed by lockdowns and the Covid. But western tourists will not come, because there are restrictions in their country already and how aboutthe risk of being here on holiday and getting sick because Thailand did not do enough to prevent mass infections?? Let it be known that only 45 million people are fully vaccinated out of 70 million. That is 2/3 of the population. And who knows what the working of all the mixing vaccines is against this new strain?? If 2 doses Moderna or Pfizer are not enough, how good are you protected if you had 1 Sinovac and 1 Astra, or 1 Astra and 1 Pfizer and so on??? Without being afraid, it is something to think about and yes probably end of next year the virus is maybe muteated to a flu or so, but there are also scientists who think if it mixes with Delta there could be a more dangerous strain being formed. Nobody can forsee what is coming.

but still extra work and more expensive.... so still waste of money..
