  1. I read this as open up for international business, sucker the tourists in and test them positive. We can then make full use of the covid insurance policies all foreigners have to have.
  2. My "brother" is a photo freak. Their family are very happy at present because their hotel is full with overseas tourists. Looking at what you said about the fat people, perhaps he should have used a very wide angle lens? Also, not a mask in sight. Covid, what covid? cough, cough, cough...nothing to worry about honey, we are in a civilised country with first class medeical facilities..
  3. This was Naiharn beach earlier today....Speaks for itself.
  4. And there lays your problem, We are all persons of colour, just various shades. Far easier to say black, white yellow brown etc. It's not racist, just a description of skin tone.....PC Wokeism again.
  5. In this age of Wokism, you are not allowed to say who as it is racist, ageist, homophobic, sexist and every other form of ist. Generic only I am afraid. My money was on the 400kg man with heart disease who also refused to have any vaccines at all
  6. Not every country. Accoridng to the Worldometer figures, China has covid fully under control. Under 100,00 cases since it all began with those evil American gymnasts introducing it.
  7. I was checking that out. It turns out that the countries listed are the only ones who were prepared to make available the information required to compile the list. Obviously, Thailand is more transparent than many make it out to be or perhaps it's just careless and did not know it had made the information available. I honestly had no idea thqat the Thai pensions were so bad but in the end it is all relative.
  8. In the 13th annual Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index (MCGPI) which is considered the reference for world wide pension statistics, poor Thailand comes in bottom.

  9. I treat zebra crossings in Thailand the same as the French ones. I know that no one will stop and they will happily ignore the fact that it is a pedestrian crossing.
  10. Why can't other people see this...If you do not test, you can never know the real figures. This is why Germany always looks good, it has one of the lowest testing ratios in Europe. Also, if there are any underlying causes in Germany, it is not a covid death. You would think that the WHO would set a standard for this....Sorry, what am I thinking?
  11. I think you will find that they use the Diane Abbott method of mathmatics. Total number of tourists equals number of tourists arriving X the number of days they are staying.
  12. I have often thought that it would be better called "A Kitty Litter" rather than sand box which is normaly a beach front hooker.
