Must be doing a fantastic job......between the sheets

Well done and keep it up.

Make big waves and cause international interest in the scandle as it unfolds

Third world rules for a third world country. A developing country....don't make me laugh

Russian women in Pattaya have the same, come to Thailand and get good paid job.

Good luck to them in finding well paid work in Thailand, most westerners earn a months Thai wages in a day or two

What other options are there, African and Indian food. The 5th favorite food is not something worthy of praise.

COVID-19 infection rate among under children less than a year old was 1,581 for every 100,000 of the population, followed by 647 for 100,000 of the population among people aged over 70.

 

From May 28th to June 3rd, there were 3,085 admissions to hospitals, or an average of 440 cases a day, representing an increase of 4% from the previous week.

 

386 were diagnosed with lung infections and 243 of them needed ventilators. The death toll was 68, or an average of 9 per day, 97% of whom were over 60 or had underlying diseases.

A number or percentage of under 12 month old fatalaties or serious illness caused by Covid might be helpful.

We have the 1,581 per 100,000 infections for under 12 month olds and 647 per 100,000 for over 70 year olds in the given period. There we 68 deaths of which 97% were over 60 years old or had underlying diseases..... 3% of deaths were below 60 years old and had no underlying diseases.

No reports on how many of the 3% were in the vaccine target group of under 1 year old.

It's hard to imagine many under 1's have underlying diseases.

I'm no anti vax, had 3 for work and travel but for the under 1's, i'm not sure unless there are underlying health problems.

Fragile egos

The story is about monkeypox

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.

And to think that not long ago the UK government was/is planning to persuade one million cigarette smokers to switch to vaping.

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

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

Real message:

 

We here at Thaiger, as members of the Thai "free" press, must self-censor ourselves or we will end up in jail.

The piece was by the Thai Enquirer

It is sad that MoveForward deceived voters by claiming to be in favor of reforms on the Institution. Many of their supporters were drawn to the party for this stance. I suspect MVF leaders knew ahead of time they wouldn't get past week 2 with this on the agenda. Breaking this sort of trust with the public is almost worse than promising thousands of baht in welfare payments, and then not fulfilling the promise.

 

Their MOU (as leaked, it could be fake) is a useless piece of trash.

 

Their ability to govern is doomed. Even if they form a governemnt they will accomplish little. It was a good ride for 8 days, but everyone woke up today to the reality which is Thailand's inability to progress, and ease with which they regress.

 

 

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

Well the biggest promise MoveForward made had no cost. And ironically, they dropped it a scant 8 days after garnering the most seats. Shameful. Disgusting. Disappointing.

 

 

Move Forward galvanises Thai voters with vows of royal reforms

Youth-led progressive party is energising voters with bold promises of monarchy and military reforms – subjects once considered taboo.

 

13 May 2023

Bangkok, Thailand – On a busy intersection outside the Thai capital Bangkok, a young woman with a heavy megaphone urged passersby to vote for her in Sunday’s general election, promising a “new kind of politics” that would curb the monarchy and the military’s stranglehold over the Southeast Asian country’s affairs.

 

“It’s time for change,” 30-year-old Chonthicha Jangrew said on Thursday, her voice slightly hoarse from months on the campaign trail.
