A doctors letter shouldn't be hard to obtain for personal use. We all need a doctors 'fit to drive' cert when we want a driving licence or renewal, "Name ?" - "you feel ok ?" - blood pressure test > "40 baht please" - Medical cert provided. Hello Dr, a fit to smoke cert please......

Years ago while driving through Bangkok, i pulled up next to a lorry with a bulge in a back tire that was the size of a rugby ball, i managed to get the drivers attention and pointed to the problem, after taking a look i received a smile and a shrug. Road safety is secondary here. They also need to address all the overloaded pick ups that we see everyday, saw this one on the way to Surin, looks like the pick up was sitting on its suspension bump stops.

Sensible move. Most of the educated world agrees that whilst still dangerous due to the nicotine, vaping is less damaging because you are not inhaling condensed PM25 for 2 minutes 20 times a day which also contains a plethora of nasty chemicals. Lets face it, most long term cigarette smokers don't want to smoke, but they are hooked on one of the most addictive substances on the planet. Vapes offer a slightly less harmful way of delivering nicotine with the benefit of reducing the nasty smell, on the smoker and in the home

Unless i'm stuck in a survival situation, trying to stave off dehydration, i'll give it a miss thanks

Read this report earlier in a different publication. Seems like the Songkran celebrations allowed the numbers to start climbing and then all the voters having to travel back to their home provinces has seen the infection taken from the cities to rural locations. It may well get worse before the numbers of hospitalized start to reduce again.

You need to get out more pal, stop looking at the world through a crack in your curtains

I hope the increase happens. Seeing my girlfriend work 12 hour days for 300 Baht is heartbreaking

The piece was by the Thai Enquirer

A personal opinion only, i wouldn't believe one word that comes out of a Thai policemans mouth.

If they don't make waves now, the tsunami can arrive later

Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey

If true....he deserves it for being a donkey. 10 transfers 555

I bet they are devastated by that news

It will be an expensive lesson learned in trying to beat the competition and jumping on the band wagon before policies have been set in stone. It was always going to be a gamble, some may lose the bet.

Get away from high tourist destinations and rent is peanuts. The "luxury apartment" description could be from the eye of the beholder

@richard_smith237 You have the patience of a saint sir

From what i've seen, the Buddhist way of life is just lip service for many Thais

Agreed. I buy 28 grams at £150 in the UK although i am happy to smoke the compact bush at 1000 baht for 28 grams when i get to Thailand. After a week the tolerance to the high grade smoke wanes and i get just as wrecked off the low grade smoke.

A confused and pointless piece, again

Or could it be that in Thailand 5+ are employed to do the same job as a westerner. Thaiwatsadu comes to mind....

That made me chuckle

In the UK you can buy a HD spycam ,remotely controlled pan and tilt from your phone for 1000 baht, and for 300 baht a month all the motion activated recordings are stored on a remote server, viewable on your smartphone at any time. I wouldn't be without mine. No doubt Thailands tech shops offer similar products. Cheap as chips

Really ? That's not what i see on the tv or read in the news

A tiny airport like HH would only require an hour to check in, go through security and board. I would like to see HH airport open again if only for the Hertz hire car branch to reopen so i can drop a hire car from swampy off close to where i live

Or....You can always count on some Thai ruining an idiots day
