I found this report that uses data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention so reporting of covid deaths should be consistent. Mortality rates dropped over summer for all racial and ethnic groups; white Americans have highest rates in most months of 2023. https://www.apmresearchlab.org/covid/deaths-by-race I'm thinking it is a cultural difference. Just curious, are Thais still masking up on BTS?

Yeah, Asian countries generally do better than Western countries in terms of covid deaths. I wonder why.

Thankfully, road deaths are not contagious.

Thailand is popular because it has both the familiar and exotic for a reasonable price. Sure you can get exotic in other SE Asian countries but Thailand makes it easier to get. The infrastructure for tourists is among the best. Also I think popularity begets popularity. Thailand is popular with everyone so no tourists really feels out of place. I prefer AI rabblerousers to the bob smith type rabblerousers.

If the OP is an AI effort it is spectacular. Even then I think a lot of user input had to go into refining it. All the AI counterarguments posted here seem hamfisted in comparision. All the points OP made are spot on.

Can't let the Brits have all the fun.

Foodpanda options are weird. One time I ordered a sandwich and there wasn't an option for cheese/no cheese. There was an option for cheese allergy? yes/no. If you haven't tried the egg tarts yet at KFC you should.

Their brothers are really considerate and always provides them transport on the back of their motorbikes.

Don't forget #6. Thai women have sex every week whether you are there or not. Asian women specifically want the 4 cees: 1) cash 2) condo 3) car 4) credit card If you are good are providing these things she will bring up the other 4 cees: 1) cut 2) clarity 3) carats 4) color

According to this article: Hua Hin Today understands that Hua Hin Police did launch an initial investigation into the incident. However, the whereabouts and legal status of the attacker is not known. I can't believe that the German's name hasn't been published. Usually you see a name. https://www.huahintoday.com/local-news/belgian-man-dies-from-injuries-sustained-in-brutal-and-unprovoked-attack-in-hua-hin/

According to this report 15,200 Chinese millionaires are set to leave the country this year. Henley's report shows that China is set to lose the most millionaires in 2024, with a net outflow of 15,200. Popular destinations for millionaires leaving China traditionally include Singapore, the USA, and Canada, with Japan a new destination to watch. https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/06/20/uk-set-to-lose-thousands-of-millionaires-as-rich-vote-with-their-feet-and-move-overseas#:~:text=Henley's report shows that China,a new destination to watch.

At least 1 person decided not to struggle for years with long covid. Most people don't have the resources of an American CEO too. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/21/texas-roadhouse-founder-kent-taylor-dies-at-65-after-taking-life-following-post-covid-struggle-.html

If I'm drinking beer outside I like Leo beer with a glass of ice. Inside, I'm drinking Asahi can or drafts. I used to drink a lot of IPAs but those hops just destroy the taste buds.

There will be some newly made billionaires.

Wrong. The Chinese didn't do this when they immigrated to Thailand. Now Thai-Chinese dominate the Thai economy/government.

Yep, death rates are "acceptable" now.

Always something after 3 AM...

This subreddit remembers people who have died of covid. Early in its history it used to publish the actual names of people. https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/ Following this subreddit for years made covid and its repercussions seem very real to me.

I'm going to guess she wasn't the only person filming. The farang's actions were stupider and he has worse street smarts. Getting involved with Thai police is not a good idea.

I think it is more of a cultural thing. Americans are taught the vampire cough -- cough into your elbow to prevent the spread of germs. Europeans don't really cover up. If they do cover up they will cough into their hands and then touch everything.

Plus some people are disgusting and will cough or sneeze right into your face. Apparently it is common in Europe.

So Sinovac vaccine had pork gelatin and mRNA vaccines had embedded Microsoft nanochips. I try to stay away from getting information from socials. I can only imagine misinformation will heat up with the US election coming. It is sad though that traditional journalism seems to be dying out. No one wants to pay for the news.

Lucky you. I'm only a handsome man in October.

Well, he knows what his risk factors are. He could have an comprised immune system. Although covid transmission outside is rare. Something new I found out about covid. Covid could accelerate cancer. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/06/06/covid-cancer-increase-link/
