And there are many anti-vaxxers/anti-common sense folks who will deluge the airwaves with evidence to the contrary. In my completely unimportant opinion, I agree that proper masks help. My point is I am weary of the debate.

We will never know conclusively. There are plenty of credible reports for either side of the argument. For that reason I wish the subject would just go away like a bad smell.

Buy two tickets, they're cheap. Then you don't have to sit next to someone like me. ????

The Thai version of "The Three Stooges."

I dated an insurance agent and got to see "behind the scenes." It's simply legalized extortion.

Then you're going to the wrong dentists. There is a married couple, both dentists, working out of the same office in Pattaya. I have been going there for years, and the quality provided is as good or better than most places outside Thailand, and I'm always surprised how affordable they are.

I have to admit I make annual visits to the states where I'm covered by private health insurance and Medicare. Last year, two knee MRI's a a base line checkup came to a total $107 out of pocket.

Perhaps I should have marked my post as SATIRE ?

After being gone for four months, I went there Wed between noon and two in the afternoon, went back and forth a few times from Jomtien to Fascino's and Tukcom. It seemed the same as before. In fact, Tukcom was nearly deserted compared to my past visits.

The problem I see is this "law" will be implemented with great prejudice. Things like visiting a house of ill repute to be with unclean women or men is clearly illegal yet happens everywhere. Maybe they need to clarify which laws are OK to break and which will get you color carded so all can get on with their merry vacations.

You CANNOT polish a turd. See what happens here when you try?

You say this like it's a BAD thing! ????

Those birds are really attractive - for about 20 seconds. Then they become annoying. Compressed air pellet guns solve this. It won't kill them and are legal AS LONG AS YOU USE THE PLASTIC PELLETS and not the lethal metal ones. Works on all annoying pests, two or four legged.

Just spit balling here, but couldn't they fly a team of specialists in to Thailand to do the surgery at a fraction of the cost? I'm sure some hospital in LOS has the necessary hardware.

A gambling den that would hold this many people could never have been clandestine. I think timely submittal of the brown envelopes had fallen behind and upset the BiB.

I believe that's humor, "sokkoprok" being the Thai word for "dirty."

The difference between people in church and people buying lottery tickets is when the lottery folks pray, they really mean it.

Back in the US, I'd have a comfortable but meager existence. Here, I can be a weekend millionaire every weekend and most week days if I so choose.

I have NEVER had a self-proclaimed Christian be able to answer this question satisfactorily: Since your creator is all-knowing and all-powerful, he was already aware of an abortion that is going to happen, so couldn't he just plant the soul that was supposed to go to THAT body into the NEXT available body? Deep thinking isn't exactly their forté, is it?

I am 99.9% certain this is sarcasm, but in this day and age of nutcases running amuck, I have to ask - you ARE kidding, yes?

I have a 2013 Mac mini that's still running like a champ. They're basically bulletproof. I just went to Youtube to see if Apple has still locked you out from doing a hard drive update yourself and was absolutely FLOORED! They finally listened to the users and made the hard drive accessible with a simple four screw panel on the bottom. For that reason alone I'm thinking of getting an M2 myself. The only downside I saw was how the ram is integrated and can't be upgraded, so be sure to get as much as you need up front. Once you buy it, it's a done deal.

The name wasn't redacted in the Topic Title so I know of whom you whinge. I've been using his service for years and it's always been top drawer. I bet if you have an issue and bring it to his attention, he will bend over backwards to correct the situation.

In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny, "I knew I should've taken that left turn at Albuquerque.”

Just today I got a retort from someone I've known for decades. I had posted a meme comparing 45 and President Biden how 45 had sheltered down in a bunker during protests a few years back and President Biden just visited a war zone. He accused me of being, and I quote, "extremely delusional." THIS is the kind of sh!t that separates people. It is not in question whether these things happened. They are facts. When people will not accept facts and, instead, soak their minds in the cesspool of bullsh!t being broadcast by verified liars, we cannot come to valid agreements. I refuse to accept their "opinion" when I know it's not true.

Then YOU go ahead and risk your liberty. Until some time has passed and this isn't such an issue, suggesting a tourist to go ahead and risk it is foolish.
