I guess there are doctors out there, yeah. But I've yet to meet that doctor who, without trying to prescribe me something, directly goes to exercise or diet as a solution. That doesn't makse them money. Unless I have a deep wound, they've lost all my trust.

I've never met a doctor who recommended exercise, a good diet or enough sun exposure and health supplements. Just medicines to sell sell sell. I don't even bother going to the doctor anymore unless I need stitches or sth like that.

I am almost certain that you have some kind of shrine set up for Dr. Fauci somewhere in your house.

I remember having a discussion here back when people were hiding under their bed. I got warned with a ban because I apparently was spreading misinformation when I questioned Covid and Lord Fauci without swallowing everything we were being fed by the media

First of all, everything goes up and down. Somehow in Thailand they think money keeps increasing infinitely. Newsflash, it actually could go down sometimes. Second, why is it always that they have some plans, they take a careful look at them and always end up with the most difficult, least convenient option? And then, why do these people start moaning about people leaving or not coming here anymore? Third, when enough tourists come, they want either more or they start moaning there are too many? Fourth, if one of the problems is that other countries are cheaper, stop the dual pricing to overprice everything. Maybe just trick everyone into coming by cutting that foreigner price in half and let everyone pay the same. Then if Thai people complain, they can just explain that coming with a foreigner would normally result in paying the same price anyway. And if you stop the big signs where Thais and foreigners are separated by price, and make a sign for everyone, it's very likely that there won't be anyone who would complain. Fifth, stop the greed. The fact that this is such big news here proves that it's all about greed greed greed. It's always big news how much money comes in from tourism here. They should stop jerking off to these numbers, because foreigners notice it and won't be attracted to that. Sixth, they would only let in 'quality tourists'... However, literally every. single. article. On ASEANNow is about how a foreigner f's up here. Trashing a 7eleven, being naked on a beach, starting fights with police, causing traffic accidents, acting like morons.... How did they qualify for the quality tourist check? Other foreigners don't want to either put up with trash tourists, or bear the consequences of these trashy people's actions like being looked at negatively.

On one part tourists just pay it because it's cheap to them compared to their home country. In some cases these dumb foreigners just hand a 1000 THB note to a 7eleven cashier for something that's 200 THB and tell them to keep the change. I've actually seen it... 😂 It's thanks to these idiots that they continue. The sad part is that expats are here on a salary that you can go by in Thailand and they get charged the same. A work permit should be enough to filter them out. But sadly this is not always the case. So, you went through all the hoops and got yourself a pink ID card which they normally specifically ask for at the entrance of national parks when showing DL or WP... Then got refused on the ID card? What kind of bs is that? I hate Karens but that would make me turn into one😅

I can show my DL whatever I want but only happened once with a very friendly security guard that they let me through. Any other parks I have to pay the foreigner price while I'm here for about 12 years

What did the police say to him? Cut it out?

Before selling their cars, BMW should make extra clear how their brakes and turn signals work, because none of their drivers use them

So how about foreigners on a workpermit?

There were 2 big ones. If correct a 7.7 and a 6.4 one. Within something like 15 minutes of each other. What's the logic that if 1 of them was felt, the other one not, that a 4.something can be felt over here?

And everyone believes it. In my earlier posts I mentioned the problems with the news of an aftershock coming.... When I mentioned that was just not possible given the circumstances, they all looked at me like wtf are you? The news is the truth, we follow the news

I think all that we can learn from this is that Thai people really, really need to practice survival skills. 2 things that stuck with me is that they put all the children in my school under a roof, because the sun was too hot, while they also had to evacuate the kids because of collapse risk. Second, they really need to focus on subjects like geography. Everyone was in panic because of that 'Aftershooooockkk👹👹👹' that never came, but was talked about in the news. There was a huge earthquake and a slightly smaller one 12 minutes apart. The first one was felt in Bangkok. Then many 4.~ earthquakes happened. But 3 hours later they were still talking about an aftershock that was coming. Without even doing proper research or having proper knowledge. I really hope Thai people will update their survival skills because when there's something much bigger than this, they'll be the first one who are gone.

Everyone should change their mindset. It's beyond ridiculous. Schools may not fail students, students may not stay in the same grade for more than one year. Then you create lazy students. But if you do, you get in trouble with their overprotective parents. This is why schools don't do anything about it. If students underperform, they'll be labeled LD, ADHD, autistic, and they'll be sent to a doctor, who would be glad to prescribe them some medicine to make money. And when students come back to school, they can just do whatever and end up in the next grade anyway, just because of their label. Parents play a big role in this. They don't want to lose face, because oh no, it's my fault that my kid is lazy? Nono, we bring them to the doctor, because he/she is sick in their head. Just to avoid responsibility. It's terrible because they often are prescribed medicine that they don't even need. Besides this, schools also look better if everyone passes. They also avoid their responsibility. We are good teachers, the kid must be sick in their head. But they forget one thing, if students go from P1 to P6 year by year without studying or critical thinking, you'll end up with a bunch of students with P1 knowledge in P6 and so on in Matthayom. And parents are dumb enough to listen to schools and doctors. They can tell them anything and they'd believe it and do as they were told. But... Ofc, it's a mistake done by whomever made this ranking. Typical behavior same like the parents, avoid responsibility. How can this country get out of this. It's like a play that everyone knows everyone does, and they keep playing pretend somehow. It's insane.

Many foreigners are tourist guides? What do they define as a tourist guide? If you have family or friends over, and show them around, will you get in trouble already?
