So do you just keep cancelling everything every year? Because this isn't going to go away. 

No of course not, but do you miss so much when it 2 year canclelled??Next year everything will be normal again probably, but now with the possible restrictions in sight it would be better to take precautions first . It will cost less than restrictions till April again

and instill anti-white racism as in much of the USA and the UK?

I will never understand why one color should surpress the others.... People should look at the inside, before judging if white is better than......

I was once in a school were a Afro teacher was hired, but got fired because they said that the kids were afraid of him because his black skin. In my opinion there was nothing wrong with the man. He was kind, energetic, and good in his teachings, but according to school he was too black. I know that dark skinned Thais are also humiliated sometimes, but I always tell the students that black is beautiful... Yes in Western world we like dark skinned, but here in Thailand people do everything to look white, because it is related to rich.... So change the public opinion here first that black or white doesn't matter 

If the people on motorcycles would wear helmets as they are wearing masks a lot of lives would be saved

So they have opened the country and invited the tourists to bring a new strain in the country??

With the mass foreign tourists double vaxed and overtested it is almost impossible, but nobody knows who could bring it to Thailand.. Same as there is a now a prediction of 20k-30k a day after the New Year Celebrations...As foreigner I stay away from that, because they blame me ...( no worry I never go to mass groups of people)

A quick check of just one online booking app shows over 200 establishments available on 31st, many with several room options available. Not what I would call fully booked. 

Was there no ban on fake news??? indeed a lot of hotels have still rooms available..But the head pretends different

350 days a year it is no problem, but only with Songkran and New Year the campaign.. Never see anything on TV to make people aware... Nor many tests at a checkpoint. In my country the police check everybody on alcohol at a checkpoint, even if you had 1 glass, but here they look for payment of tax and go can go...Or today I noticed that drivers avoided the checkpoint by driving on the frontage road and get back behind the police on the mainroad.. No police on the frontage road to stop or check them or me 

money needed by selling ATK tests?? 3 tests a day ???? You can't stop it anymore. Omicron is in the country and now take measures to pevent spreading instead of testing people, because probably they won't do it unless they feel sick, but than it is too late. 

why prepare??/ They better can cancel all celebrations and travels now to prevent a new outbreak...

You need to learn the background as you are way off here.

If people have common sense they would know that 3,5 % interest in a month is not realistic in these time.. that is also background... and how it was possible is not for me to find out , but I know that you must be realistic

Prostitution in Thailand 

 

Say it is not so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I thought all those girls sitting standing on Thaniya Rd were part of the TAT and welcoming Japanese to Thailand.

Indeed they are called hostesses

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....

Google has it all.

 

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?

You're ‘victim blaming’ - this occurred in a Bank.....

 

If you want the back story you can put a little effort into searching the story (plenty of news on this out there) and then make a comment which doesn’t blame normal people going into a bank and depositing money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I do not blame anyone....

So you don’t know what this is about, you have no idea of the back story but still feel compelled to comment ?   
 

These are people who were ripped off by a bank employee offering a product he pedaled as being from K bank & transactions took place inside the bank. 
 

 

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
