I remember back in June 2020 when people all over our amphur, tambon, and villages were experiencing upper respiratory issues - sniffles, sore throats, and coughs that lasted anywhere from a week to a month or longer. 
During that time the local hospital refused to test and just kept telling patients, "Go home, just a cold." 

So the rest of the world has tens of thousands of cases a day and Thailand just a few thousand.  Humm.  ????  Ok.

ironically meaning.... In Thailand everything is under control according to the Government but as you write by yourself.. The truth here is different

minimize incenses will help a lot especially if you see how many vehicles are driving around with a lot of black smoke, an industry that pollutes a lot, and to far behind in the alternative energie sources......

And what do you need to bring? a passport? or not for foreigners?

They need to at least cut out the fifth day test. The first one i can sort of understand but even with that you would be open to dodgy testing and or a scam

THailand is about to control everything....

He was riding an engine size-limited bike, not prohibited to 15-year olds.

He is just too young.......first an education and a decent test and than on the road..... But most kids learn to drive early and make mistakes and it is almost impossible to correct the things they wrongly learned...  

The world has to change their travel advice first from to red to green, but that is not done yet....

I still don't understand this. Other places Omicon peaks have been higher than Delta and have got there very rapidly. Why is that not the case here?

Manipulate the numbers and no problems....In Phetchaburi a school tested 100 cases positive, but nowhere to be found....Thailand want to believe everyone it is safe. But everyone knows better ..... Why should only Thailand be an exception of all other countries in the world were the Omicron peaked??? Only for tourists, but they forget that Thailand did not change a lot of color in and still is a destination only for neccessary travels...Still  a place that is red/orange... 

Depends on my mood...... opera, Bach, Vivaldi, and all others

Last week a kindergarten class was so happy to see me back in school again that  they all jumped over me and hugged me and not for 5 minutes but whole period I was with them. Nothing could prevent it, even though the teachers tried but as soon as a few students went back another group took its place... Young kids don't understand so what can you do about it...

This is only for physical health.. Lucky not for mental health, if you see how some drivers use the roads

In fact easy question who is the owner of the skywalk??? The owner is responsible for the safety and mantainance of the skywalk..On the other hand as already in several posts.. She should pay attention were she was walking. Danger is everywhere....and nowhere safe..examples more over this week

In a few days it will change again

Sorry, for me leaving would be a problem. I have nowhere to go in my former country (GerMoney) anyway, and as an orphan in GerMoney I would face immediate lockup in one of their care homes for the elderly (I'm 73 yo) Here in Pattaya everything is fine. 

I just mean going on holiday..... I can't go nowhere too, but on holiday out the country is easy but how do you get back in

Marvellous idea....but it should have been done at least 6 months ago....but as usual always too late

as they erase the zebra crossings get rid now of the crossroads as too many accidents happens

And that is only in Bangkok... can you imagine if the rest of the country would be fined

As I wrote yesterday already and of course strong enforcement of the law, instead of lazy traffic police checking for taxpayment. Yesterday I drove home and I saw in my rear mirror a car speeding from the left lane over the second to the third. He drove very close on me, but I did not give way, just because there was a car in front of me and on the middle lane there was a car with a boat driving slowly. I thought he could wait a moment. But than a extra lane on my left was free. The idiot passed me and decide to drive in front of me very slowly.. I could not go anywhere because on my right the car with boat was driving and he was "blocking" the road  Suddenly he went to the right and I did not know what to expect and than he decided to leave the highway and when I looked what idiot was driving I saw he gave me his middle  finger... I still don't understand what I did wrong, but he was the one speeding and tailgaiting while I couldn't go anywhere.. Yes education...

BUt although they said that the price would not be above the 30 THB we pay more in the meantime...

Monks are very respected in Thailand and in the community, but what if a criminal becomes a monk?? How can you pay respect to him?? He doesn't deserve it and therefor it should be impossible for any criminal to become a monk.....Monkhood should be protected, and not being used for whitewash yourself...
