Reality check - Thailand entertainment industry is set up for men and on offer is what men want - booze and sex - it has provided large amounts of income to Thailand - airlines, travel companies, hotels, bars, restaurants, sex workers and their families, and the government through taxes, extortion and other means - licenses, tea money - FANTASy that travellers will come to pattaya for the beach, the environment, the temples

Government - if they want the cream they must get testing precise, issue staff with genuine test clearance passes, insist on visitors being Covid free on arrival and start to re-generate this industry

If they don't want then they will create a huge problem for themselves in terms of loss of income - remember each visitor pays a 700 Baht departure tax -a plane with 100 onboard is 70000 Baht - on average 2 a minute =140000 baht x 60 minutes = 8and a half million baht an hour tax revenue x by 24 hours and that is about 200 million baht for just one day - I can't see the junta waving goodbye ti that amount of cash can you

2nd most important question How much is it

Online standards are hit and miss = same as the employment of so called native speakers fro Russia or France - basically the government have no interest in the population speaking English and becoming more aware of matters with an English speaking Internet so low standards is ignored by Education departments = priority is get rich

Are wildlife back on sale in the so called Wet markets

Police the beach Enforce the fines These people need to be chastised and punished

Look the public are the same as sheep The government are the pigs and the only ones with an ounce of common sense are the dogs - Work starting times should have been pre-planned 6 a.m, 7, 8 , 9 and 10a.m Then only 20% travelling at same time and police taking scanned temperature and finding out where people are going and photo check to find the cheats - Cheats to be heavily fined - Yes it is draconian but this Covid kills Anyone noticed

Co-ordination and planning woud reduce the likelihood of a spike but now go to temple and prey for divine intervention

The PM is worried about the loss in revenue from departure tax at airport 800 Baht x 100 people in plane = 80,000 - Approx 2 planes take off each minute 160,000 Baht - 60 minutes = 10 million baht for an hour x 24hrs = 240 million baht tax revenue for 1 day - Not available because of lockdown - may have to trim defence budget ha ha ha 

I read some scientific research that looked at the effect of capsicum and it has anti viral properties that if eaten alot would enhance the immune system against viral and bacterial infections - this reportwas way before this covid 19 outbreak but i suggest people look into this as it is digested and other plants - cumin is known to help the gut and lower the chances of stomach cancer

Geta alife Do something creative - If your life is dictated by being able to buy a beer I think you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself how can I help others suffering

I think that parents should consider a move towards their children learning online given the threat to health of crowded venues and also the benefits of becoming more technology minded will pay off later as well - my thoughts were where they could contact teachers available to work online and cut out the middle man - the Thai schools who are foussed on keeping the business for themselves and create obstacles for foreigners to offer their skills

English teacher 20 years exp

She is a parasite Make arrangements to leave her ASAP

There are no workers rights here - trade unions is an unknown word so basically you will get or not get what the bosses feel they want to get

Suggest you consider online work  by building up a database of potential students

95% of people are dumb and stupid - Look after yourself and shop elsewhere

Need advice on 90 day immigration reporting given

A The office is bulging with potential infected covert 19 folk

B Access via car appears to be impossible I live Sattahip

C Registering 90 days online still is unclear and not simplistic

and I pose the question is fear being generated so one chooses an agent for 500 Baht - good piece of business if you can get it

Any advice welcomed

Across the world and here in THailand you have a combination of selfishness and stupidity and that is a lethal comibination - I was in the market yesterday and told a girl working on a fruit stall that she needed to wear gloves because of virus transmission by touch and she looked at me as if was an alien - all rushing into mini vans to travel - utter stupidity  The answer for me is stay at home 99% of the time and venture out to buy food at the least popular times and forward planning and hope- 

This is dreadful Any response at all from the Office

one question why has the military budget increased and why do they persist in a2 year mandatory military service for young males when there is no enemy to dissuDE

Their use of mobile phones and the internet is high but most of the usage is to play mindless games or watch poor quality video programmes - awareness and learning still remain a long way from other countries

Stop the pretence THailand is controlled by a military junta - the so called government and the legislature are bound together like right and left hands

Democracy is a convenient label with no evidence of any activity that could be construed as such

You get the courts to dissolve an oppositional party when youdon't want the population to hear dissent

At last 1 teacher with insight about how you get the smartest kids to learn

The thai education system is a disaster - maybe others will follow and teacher training to get the most done in the classroom - if a teacher is doing the job well - no need for homework

REALLY STUPID KEEPING 40K IN THE HOUSE - Clearly a tip off led to burglery Only themslves to blame

Chinese and Indians don't drink beer and rarely want nookie that they must pay for so this as usual is a hair brain scheme doomed to fail

Put an ad outside your house on the gate in Thai and then wait a month - Look at local language centres and go in and ask
