  1. This can be taken 2 ways, deaths and cases under reported due to testing. Agree with that. BUT .... Also since lack of testing, especially mass testing, or locals getting tested (Thailand) simply for having flu symptoms, the amount of covid case may be much higher. Meaning the recovery rate is much higher, since none to few symptoms were treated at home, or visit to doc or hospital, with no testing, so meds prescribed and sent on their way. I suspect the latter is more the case, and case numbers are substantially higher than reported, meaning recovery rate would also be much higher than the 98 ish % in Thailand. How many cancer patients would love those odds.
  2. Of course one could always ponder if $$$$ was a factor for reporting deaths as covid. Medicare in USA pays more if a covid death ... hmm "Our ruling: True We rate the claim that hospitals get paid more if patients are listed as COVID-19 and on ventilators as TRUE. Hospitals and doctors do get paid more for Medicare patients diagnosed with COVID-19 or if it's considered presumed they have COVID-19 absent a laboratory-confirmed test, and three times more if the patients are placed on a ventilator to cover the cost of care and loss of business resulting from a shift in focus to treat COVID-19 cases." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/04/24/fact-check-medicare-hospitals-paid-more-covid-19-patients-coronavirus/3000638001/ People should research CDC's site for facts and information. Make up one's own mind. Not listen to me or anyone on the internet.
  3. Don't forget to read the not so fine print, and not just inject what you think the headline means: "Limited testing and challenges in the attribution of the cause of death means that the number of confirmed deaths may not be an accurate count of the true number of deaths from COVID-19."
  4. I know, and why I'll pass on these new mRNAs. I'd consider the Sinovac, IF, it was available, but TH ceased using. New vaccines scare me more than the virus, since having a 97-99% recovery rate. 97% recovery doesn't instill fear in me. UP2U
  5. Makro usually has it. Pack of 3 larger sheets, and also sells a pack of 10ish pre-cut square, and size will make a nice Danish, or turnover. I use them quite often. Less hassle than the sheets, unless you plan on making a Wellington.
  6. If you're vaccinated, what's to fear, or am I to assume you don't have much faith in your vaccination and won't protect you. And yet, you want me to get the same.
  7. Quite the opposite. Doubt I'd ever buy another ICE vehicle. Why would I ? That's just stupid.
  8. If I was going to spend 10 mill on a house, it wouldn't be in Thailand.
  9. Depending how far your commute, then e-bike may be sufficient. Good ones are pricey, but nice. BkkBike: https://www.bkkebike.com/e-bike-thailand
  10. https://decogreenenergy.com/index.php/th/product-deco/electric-motorcycles I own the SUSU (3000w / 50Ah), and quite enjoying it. If not that, then I would have gotten the Sylla (2000w / 30Ah), or if concerned about image, then Super Ace for ฿3k more. More masculine Max One, but @ ฿13k more, for basically the same specs, for all 3. Entry level @ ฿37k, (1000w/ 20Ah) and advantage 1000w models, removable battery. Good if living in condo or apartment. Others need to be plugged in outside, unless can bring indoors.

  12. Better question would be, which haven't had an unauthorized transaction, Thai or other, and would not be surprised if the answer was ... none.
  13. Get stool & CEA (and the rest of cancer markers) done every year or so, during full health check up. Colonoscopy every 5 yrs.
  14. I never use CC / DC in person here (TH), and rarely online. Do most of my non-essential shopping online, as simply cheaper, but 99% COD. Have a smartphone for camera & GPS / Gmap (out & abouts), and rarely use as a phone. Most use in store, to find wife ???? Use only the bare necessity of apps, and usually for my toys (drones now), and for BMS in e-scooter & solar when available. Never used phone at pay point, and don't plan to, as too much hassle for me. Cash check out is easy, and it's all (check out), time wise, is on the customer. Yea, open your wallet / purse / phone, and actually be ready to pay, whether cash or alternate means. It can take less than 1 minute, or 3 depending how inconsiderate you are to the people waiting behind you.
  15. Depends on the hospital. I had one recently done around the 17k quoted, if memory serves, it was 15k. No extra (as it should be) fro removing any polyps found, and in my case, just 1. While at it, did add the endo, what the hell, figured I'd try a DP ???? ... spank me. I was completely under, didn't feel a thing. Wife had one done at Udon Thani public hospital for 2800 baht (two thousand eight hundred), a few years back. She could have went to one of the private hospitals there, and paid 5k. The extra 2200 baht was for the limo ride over to the public hospital ... ????, as a friend went through said hospital and was unpleasantly surprised the procedure wasn't done in-house.
  16. Thanks ???? My future installer uses solar-shop also, and going with Solax inverter & ESS. Panel choice so far is Longi 455w
  17. All so true. along with Wuling, they sold 5 times as many cars as Tesla in China. That's the car I made reference to that sells for around 150k baht in China, but almost 400k baht in Thailand. That's sad, or many people would own that here instead of a scooter w/sidecar.
  18. Just wave you chipped body part (or bracelet) over the scanner ... ????
  19. Very nicely done. Do you have a link to your supplier ?
  20. Don't use MG and send as much as you want.
  21. We're not allowed to quote a newspaper ???? OK They've been promoted EV for years, though not sure what they consider what that means, or what it means in the future. How about removing the excise tax on EVs, that's about 100k off the price or most full size cars, and would be a good start. Or the import tax, as the top seller in China is ฿150k, here, just shy of ฿400k. A great little around the town car for those now using a scooter w/sidecart....IF it was affordable.
  22. It was your choice to leave, knowing in advance of the rules, and would imagine, you elected those that made the laws the way they are, so who's fault would the situation be.
