You should try to understand cause and effect. Death rates are down BECAUSE of lockdowns. People who get their information from memes and dodgy alt-right websites don't seem to ever be able to make that huge leap of understanding.

And you should try to understand that without excessive testing and mass testing there won't be any "outbreak" at all. 

More people will die of starvation, domestic violence and suicide than this virus could ever kill, if lockdown after lockdown after lockdown are imposed. Death rates all over the world are average and in places like Germany even negative!!! We are not talking about Ebola or the Black Death here!!!! It's the long term effects of idiotic knee jerk reactions performed by useless string puppets that kill people!!!

I'd say this outcome was foreseeable, given the power constellation on the bridge of the MS Siam Titanicus... Similar to what you'd get when assigning a Bonobo ape to ghostwrite a romantic novel.

Wow, what will the hoteliers and resort owners of Phuket and the surrounding provinces do with the millions of tons of money these 30 "tourists" will have raining all over the south? Time to partee...

....aaaand the sigh of relief was of such magnitude that it made the whole earth tremble... ????

"Cracks and faults"??? Shouldn't it better read "Canyons and time bombs"???

Looking at the facts - toilet, huge python... I can't help it but be reminded of that 12 inch pianist joke... So, whatever that guy uttered to the genie, it seems that he was asking for just too much 

What else is new? See this and worse every day... Let's do it like this: Fine the videographer (given he/she is foreign) for defamation and for making "Thailaeeeennn look bad!"

3m Baht in condoms... ? I spent far more on them in my time here already, wait - I'll try to find those receipts...  

There's more lost to quarantine than just "time"... they don't really get it do they? ☹️

I found following advise in a very rewarding book about money management and life hacks: "DON'T invest in anything that eats and sh(deleted)..." 

There are just too many odds to make any business with life stock a life-long success. It's almost like trading - at some point (most likely right at your all time high) you will get shafted...

Maybe this one is like a psychological "pay back" by the pigs ignited by unbearable living conditions. perhaps they simply decided to collectively wither away... and I don't mean this as a joke.

"board?" Big finger syndrome - I meant "boars"

 

Thought you were calling all of them pigs in for a "board meeting" ???? 

Drunk Brits? Thought that was an urban myth... ????

RIP, Mr. Silva - condolences to family and friends. Just guessing here, but perhaps a helmet could have saved his life - a REAL helmet, not the 99 Baht plastic shells... 

I got confused - at first sight I read "No thinking...", but then I realised that I am in a country where that has been implemented on a 24/7 base anyway since the early beginnings of good ol' Siam...

Given that, locals won't give it much thought on where to place the X anyway - with or without booze ????

 

Good for them! At least something that Pol Pot did not eradicate forever... ????

Tickling bearded clams is considered disturbing the marine environment. You have been warned!

That means, I'm in the clear since I prefer nudibranches. Right? ????

Sounds like this operator was in the way of someone who needed this business.

If you cant compete then have them removed ! 

More than just plausible in LOS! ????

I believe it is also illegal to collect seashells on the beaches here in Thailand.

Yupp, that's why they have the "sea shell" museums and souvenir shops for tourists along Highway 4 ????

Forgot: Who did dynamite fishing until a few years ago? Who still does illegal shark finning? Who fishes at marine protection sites at night? Who kills and sells sharks and rays at local markets? ...and on and on it goes.... 

Hypocrisy at its very finest... 

At the end of a dive - who threw the trash I had collected from the sea and that initially was thrown into the sea amidst a national park by the Thai boat owner back at me screaming, "This is MY country!!! I can make as dirty as I want!!!!", followed by the kind information that I could remain at one of those islands if I feel that I have a say on this...?

Who does oil changes on their boats in national parks, getting rid of the used oil slick via bilge pumps as soon as the boat is moving away from a national park, or between islands?

Who throws 7Eleven trash bags full with plastic and glass bottles, empty crisp bags, etc. right out of the window of the moving pickup after passing (inbound) our national park sign?

Who dumps construction trash and leftovers right along the roads (preferrably near or in national parks?)?

Who throws trash in his own yards, preferrably in a nice "design" all around the house and could not be bothered?

Who dumps everything, including flammable and highly toxic substances happily into their toilets and sinks?

Who gives a <deleted>' toss about nature preservation at all, UNLESS!!!! a "Farang" can be blamed???

You guess what the answer is - it starts with capital T

Many freelancers have setup their own one-person company. So all they have to do is to show a contract signed with their own company. Brilliant!

I doubt that most of the BOI guys wouldn't even be able to explain what BOI stands for ????

Oh dear, I hope you don't have any Thai relatives with this view of them. 

Made a mistake there, not being specific enough. I meant the locals at the hekm calling the shots. I know that the average person on the street here has a very different outlook on things and also foreigners. I corrected the text accordingly. Thanks for pointing this out. 

Let me guess, the good ol' LFBCDD scam?

Lure
Fleece
Bash
Criminalise
Detain
Deport

As they seem to focus on people with brains - I see this attempt, on rounding up another group of victims to feed the local biz owners' local politicians' greed, utilising a long term plan to keep their intense hatred against anyone non-Thai (except Korean asexual appearing superstars of course) and their overinflated pride under a lid for just that long, to remain a pipe dream.
