Impossible.. yesterday the news was that Thaksin should not be called an inmate.. and inmates can ask for parole.. So no inmate no parole.. Besides that he is out already and maybe not eeven in Thailand, as he wanted to be with his family and his daughter is in Dubai

that is no problem as lon as sunbathing is not done in it in Bangkok

Oh my God 40 cases... Lock down please 

flipflopping is normal in Thailand...many examples done already by the Government and officials

Thailand and digital things are not matching.. many examples.. Mor Prom, 90 days reporting, systems not connected to eachother, etc etc..

Here will not be a 30 day Songkran Festival

Result of poor education and poverty...

The whole non sale alcohol law is outdated and has no use.. If you can drink between 11 and 2 you can still make accidents  and so selling and buying after 2 pm will not solve that. Besides tourists on the beach or sitting on a terrace on holiday like to drink a wine or a beer while watching people... But by this law it is forbidden  and so tourist are not pleased and will stay away, as in other countries there is not such a law.. Thailand has to grow up and make people responsible for their own deeds. Sell alcohol to people over 21 yrs old for example and by doubt ask for a id.. and a good working control of RTP instead of pocketfilling officers will do more good. And of course fines should be big for the sellers who sell to minors..But who cares about anything here? Minors in pubs, on motorcycles, using drugs, carrying weapons...and the Government and everybody don't care about it.

'resistance is futile'

 

In July one of our daughter's classmates died at scene of an accident, along with her younger brother who passed away in hospital from head injury.

 

They were n a highway going home from school, overtaking a truck on a corner, no licence, no helmets. 

 

Head-on into an approaching pickup. As it was Friday after school, kids at the hospital, kids and teachers at the temple in a brief mourning period. Parents lost their only family.

 

But Monday morning it was business as usual as I took daughter to school, police with their whistles managing traffic into the school, teachers at the gate, kids on motorbikes minus helmets and too young to have a licence. 

 

Last night I picked her up from school at 8pm they'd been away on a class bus trip. On the way I had to almost stop against the kerb, as three boys in school uniform were racing towards me (they'd be her classmates) - all with pillions, no helmets, one each lane one on the centreline. That's the next candidates for joining the raid fatality statistics.

That is what I mean, Thais don't learn anything and nothing will change...The only way to make it better is strict control, but by the corrupt RTP and other officials/institutions, outdatred ;laws as always passing, they can't never solve the problem... It will take a least 60 years....but alas.. ity is their country and stupidity  

Sunbathing is forbidden in Thailand ... Nothing wrong with this, but again just an example why tourists don't choose Thailand anymore.. It seems that everything they do is wrong.. Laying on a grassfield... inappropriate... vaping   get fined and forbidden( while police is doing itself), pictures with a leg out of a skirt at a temple.. not allowed.. and list can go on and on..

same footprint as we sometimes see in and around temples??? or was it one legged Dino???

The people with debts are to blame for spending more than they could afford.. Nothing more... The poor will get nothing or don't know there is help. Today on the news in Khampeng Phet province a boy of M2 14 yrs old living with his grandparents in a I don't know how to call it a shelter of plastic and bamboo and no money for food except what the boy can get from a temple.. Happily a teacher is helping them now... A shame that such things still exist in Thailand..... And there is no help for them... But the ones who have spend too much are being helped again...

Is there a post Covid recovery in Thailand?? I see still a lot of people wearing facemasks and it is still promoted by the officials to keep it doing.. There almost every week news about how much Covid there still is in THailand, as we can read again in the news about the new strain... and there is still pushing to get vaccines or boosters.. It seems Thailand still struggles with Covid while the rest of the world goes on

No need for doctors any more is there, just google your condition and decide everything. Does he have high blood pressure as well? How do you know that?

Probably never read this news before as you would know that at first the indication was high blood pressure now it are different things. I am not a doctor, but you can read what the disease is and what treatments are possible... The doctors will decide, but you get informed instead of not knowing what you talk about

Just google heart valve disease and see that he can live a normal life... so need to stay in  the hospital.. But he get his high bloodpressure pill every morning as medication and so case closed
