Stood on the Moscow metro with a Russian girl......the whole carriage was looking at me.
I asked the girl why?
She said you look intelligent......Stalin killed all the intellectuals and these people are all that Russia has left........they know you cannot be Russian.
You might imagine, as the leader of the Thai nation, he would like to have been quoted as saying.......................
"I want everyone to pull out all the stops to ensure the safety of the Thai people .......particular those working in travel and tourism"
FAA:
No person may operate an aircraft below the following altitudes:
Over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.
Oh dear....you have to feel for them.
Safe as houses in China, hardly any covid......then come on holiday to Thailand and suddenly get infected.
I guess they need to stay away from the Western tourist areas.
On the upside........
I find Americans (the ones not trying to shoot you) very polite and friendly.
On the downside............
they seem to think everyone within a 100m radius wants to hear what they have to say.
There is an LTR holder (supposedly) in our village. He claims to be a web based IT whizz kid.
He lives in a wooden shed, the type lived in by the poorest of the poor, with his Thai gf and her mother.
Can't see him boosting Thailand's GDP anytime soon.
I drive the wife no more than a km every morning and every evening to and from her sugarcane fields along country roads............. typically I would have three, low level, near misses most days.
Un*******believable.
Bangkok’s New Rail Service Terminal In Operation From Jan 19th........
.......ticket sales commence Jan 21th, covid restrictions will be announced Jan 22nd effective Jan 21st; restrictions will then be rescinded Jan 23rd, before being reinstituted Jan 24th.
I get the distinct impression that Thais are either past caring or simply too accepting of this kind of thing................I relay this kind of thing to the wife and she just shrugs.
She has all the money believe it or not......Just built a three bed detached house and I'm living for free.......so keeping my nose clean.......at least for the moment.
