I have been following the newsletters of ThaiVisa/Asean Now, and their members' innumerable  comments for a great many years.

Again and again, I have wondered why so many, most probably, foreign expats living in Thailand resort to Thai bashing whenever they deem it appropriate, which it definitely is not in a lot of cases being discussed in the respective fora. 

To state it clearly, statements of Thai "government" members, "parliamentarians", as well as their, or other self-appointed "official" spokespeople, usually have me cringe at their obviously unfounded or even utterly nonsensical contents, or plainly make me laugh out loudly. Most of them, if not all, are more entertaining than lots of comedy shows and comedians, and should be discounted as platitudinous attempts at trying to stay remembered in the Thai public. 

The OP in this case, Dr. Thira Woratanat, released some international scientific research results about possible long-term side effects of an infection with Covid-19  in a Thai (!) language publication to inform the Thai(!) public, a great majority of which may not have heard or read of these results before. So he clearly just did what physicians and scientists have been doing all around the world for ages, passing on information to the interested public. Certainly there have always been innumerable members of the public not interested in such information, or possibly even more people with an intellectual horizon wide enough to watch trash programs on television or on the internet. The question whether he had a public assignment to release this information, or if his release will be heard or read by the Thai(!) public it is meant for, may be left undecided here. 

He did what he believed to be the right thing to do for his Thai(!) countrymen and -women to make them aware of the risk of a Covid-19 infection and to stress the importance of vaccinations and always keeping to the widely accepted rules of hand hygiene, wearing facemasks, and social distancing. If this message will get through to the majority of the Thai(!) public, and if they will follow his advice, or not, is futile in this context.

He did what he did, and it was the right thing to do, period! I applaud him for this!

Most probably, at least most of the foreign Thai expat community reading the contents of the English OP,  translated from the Thai(!) original, had been well informed before about the international research results following international media. So it was nothing new for them.

But instead of being happy with someone passing on this important information to the generally uninformed members of the Thai(!) public, that are up to a very great extent not able to follow any foreign language publications on international media, the ritualistically cantankerous curmudgeons took the stage on this forum again to start their Thai and whatever else bashing and ranting that they always do, and the only things that they are good at.

What, e.g., has the question of the definitely horrendous financial consequences of the Thai lockdowns for millions of the Thai public to do with this OP?

To all the gentlemen in this repugnant category mentioned above, - I am sure there are no ladies behaving in such a dismal and miserable fashion on this forum -, please just keep your mouths shut!

You don't discuss any topic at all, you just spread your miserable feelings about everything and everyone without having any fact-founded idea of what you are talking about. It's all just inane yadda yadda yadda.

Even on internet fora, participating in discussions requires a certain minimum of cerebral qualities. Your contributions are nothing more than fetidly foul flatulences obviously escaping that part of your anatomy you seem to think with.

If you should have at least a few of those cerebral qualities left at your disposal at all, and if you should know how to use them at least basically, please use them appropriately to the greater good of all members of ThaiVisa/Asean Now that are interested in serious discussions without having to stumble about any more of your inane blather.

If you don't feel up to this, in my mind, reasonable request, gentlemen in question, read the various OPs, if at all, without dropping in your inane yadda yadda, and/or just imbibe any, and as many alcoholic, or in case of alcohol inflicted liver problems, non-alcoholic drinks as you like, which might be the most you are able to master intellectually anyway.

To be honest, I don't expect any of you gentlemen in question to heed this, in my mind, reasonable request, which, in my opinion would be a real shame, but so be it.

I expect instead, of course, a tremendous, gigantic tempest of faeces erupting from you, blowing more of your inane flatulences at me, i.e. if you have been able to read my post to the end, and process it intellectually at all. 

Rest assured, gentlemen in question, by at least partly lowering myself to your linguistic and intellectual precipice, I don't give a rat's behind about any of that at all.

To all serious-minded members on ThaiVisa/Asean Now, though belatedly, a very happy, healthy, and better New Year than the two previous ones.

P.S. I am not a native speaker of the English language, so please forgive for any mistakes I may have made. 

Nothing to worry about.

Myanmar coup leader Min Aung Hlaing asked Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha to help the Tatmadaw to establish a real democracy in their country. Based on Prayut's experience with respecting democratic decisions, we can rest assured that a really democratic system will be established in Myanmar in the near future, benevolently overseen by the Tatmadaw. ????
