For anyone who has not been able to lose weight in the past, it's not your fault. //

Uh?

I have never been able to lose weight... because I never accepted to take weight ! 

Happened a few times that I took 3-4 kg too many. I just immediately reacted and have been careful with my food a few days, and everything quickly come back to normal.

I imagine it's a lot of more difficult when it's 30-40 kg! but these kg didn't arrive in just a few days! You fault to not react more quickly.

And to answer the OP's question: I would say 99% due to lifestyle, type and quantity of food.

Would be fine if Facebook believed in a level playing field and freedom of opinion. //

Where did they announce something against freedom of opinion ?

Freedom of opinion never existed on social media anyway.

By the way, Cambodia's borders are not closed. They just have certain restrictions in place and criteria to follow to enter.

Similar situation in Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos...

Some people can enter, but tourists can't.   ????

(because of border closed, or no visa available)

Vietnam E visa system back in operation on July 1st. 

However no confirmation of who can enter or on what conditions.

Not for tourists before long time... ????

Brexit less and less popular in UK...

London (CNN) - Four years on from the UK's Brexit vote, a majority of British voters would now opt to remain inside the European Union, says new research.

 

According to the European Social Survey (ESS), a pan-European poll carried out every two years, 56.8% of respondents in the UK indicated that they would vote to remain inside the bloc, an increase from 49.9% the last time the survey was published in 2018. //

That US number is a current projection for October. It's about half that now. //

The 50% was for Americas, not for USA only.

Big death countries are USA, Brazil & Mexico

Just heard on radio that now,

Half of all Covid-19 deaths worldwide came from Americas. 

Last I heard it was about 25 percent from 4 percent of the world population which is painfully bad enough. 

25%? They talk on about 240'000 deaths in Americas and 480'000 worldwide.

BTW soon half a million worldwide, and still increasing fast.

Why don't they charge us with multi entry non o  visas married to a thai  5000 baht for a year instead of us having to do border run to get it ? //

Wrong question sir.

You just don't use the right method to live here.

Yearly Extensions is what they are pushing people to use for years.

Do that and everything will be easier. ????

No tourist^* was or will be stuck in Thailand.

The bans are for entering Thailand only.

? There were thousands of tourists stuck in Thailand when this first kicked off. Flights cancelled, no money and waiting for their government to provide repatriation flights

"No tourist was stuck in thailand"??

Tell that to the tourists who had flights cancelled multiple times when this first started.

Ok, on the very first days maybe, but most countries quickly organised rapatriement flights for their citizens, and most tourists still in Thailand now are there because they chose to stay there... IMHO

For which country can't you find a way to fly in from Thailand ?

1- could be fair to post in the OP a link towards the original article...

2- could be nice to give a link of the original picture, as this one is nearly impossible to read

Thanks

He forgot to look around the corner , 100 meters away it looks like this.  

Typical B.S. from a Pattaya hater  

- this picture is several years old, and this temporary "trash incident" had been quickly solved

- this place is Sukhumvit Soi 12, north of Naklua, barely in Pattaya, in a non-residential area, and more than 5 km of Pattaya beach!

Yeah, that would be honorable. But practical? You still have to enter Thailand, and that will take a new visa, or visa exempt (the IO at the airport won't honor your argument).

They could do it in an easy way. By example:

"All Re-Entry Permits expiring after March 2020 are still valid until 31 December 2020"

PS: Don't quote this post! It's just a dream... for now...

Well controlled, LMAO. If the Chinese were capable of responsible control then the virus would have been contained in country in the first place.

I didn't talk about the beginning of the pandemic, where no country was ready,

but about how they can react now; far better. And true for many countries.

If Thailand's authorities consider a little over 3000 infections and 58 deaths justify the current and proposed measures - surely 200 new cases in China in a couple of weeks is considered a whole new epedemic worthy of banning all Chinese tourists for 10 years?

Surely not.

With population of 1393 millions against 69 million,

200 cases in China is equivalent to 10 cases for Thailand,

and 22 new cases yesterday equivalent to 1 new case in Thailand.

So far only the listed groups are allowed to register (submit the forms) with the embassies. //

And only those whose embassy is open... Many are still closed ????

And iron-clad rule number 22 is?

No Thai can count past 10 without taking off his shoes.

And apparently, no Thai can count past 20 under any circumstances.

I thought that TheNation and ThaiVisa articles were written by farangs ?

With the limited quarantine rooms available, it will take months for these groups to enter.

Didn't you read that the second group "comprises travellers who won’t need to go into quarantine on entry" ?
