What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2022)
Jingthing replied to CharlieH's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Weird way to watch shows. -
Personally I wish more of these predictions about when the pandemic ends emphasized that at this point its impossible to know. Emerging from Omicron there appears to be a majority of very optimistic projections. But such projections minimize some inconvenient truths: Massive vaccine hesitancy even in countries with excellent vaccine supply and distribution Very low vaccination rates in most of the world No plan to get all the world vaccinated quickly Rampant vaccine misinformation Great potential for new variants from both humans and other mammals Unknown how well and for how long an Omicron infection would be protective against future variants Effective treatments not very available to most Testing logistics poor. Treatments often require very early treatment Still unknown just how mild Omicron actually is because it hits populations already exposed to Covid The sad fact that Covid 19 passes back and forth between humans and all other mammals. So based on the above the pandemic COULD go on for MANY years Could, not will. We just don't know. What we want doesn't matter. The virus is in the driver's seat.

You mean the Monk's college?

Great if you have one.

Two different issues entirely.

That's interesting. Residents is a loaded word. Remember the fiasco with registration when only f-rangs with yellow books could register? So it would depend on what they are asking, if anything, of f-rangs that show up as far as proof of residence.

Two RECENT sources now (Pattaya 103 FM and Pattaya Mail) so the Banglamung vaccine programs (which have been at the sports stadium, the hospital, and presumably the Monk's College) are for THAIS ONLY. Royal Garden Plaza definitely is doing Pfizer boosts. The problem with the OP almost definitely was that he wasn't ELIGIBLE yet with his two previous Pfizer jabs.

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2022)
Jingthing replied to CharlieH's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Tv movie by Ron Howard. Pretty trashy, pretty funny. Including four links. The first is the entire movie though very bad quality but you have to watch the beginning part because a lot of that is not on the part 1 link. Then parts 1,2, and 3 are better quality. Watch this until 12:50 https://youtu.be/cToHoWnZPdQ Then these three https://youtu.be/NeGg_IOfObA https://youtu.be/RpKPg6sb79s https://youtu.be/tt5cTeYShAA -
I think the trashing of International Living is overblown. Yeah they are a profit seeking business. But at this point I think their biggest flaw is a tendency to overemphasize the positives of places and glossing over the negatives. But they still provide a lot of good information especially about lesser known choices and you're not meant to take their word as gospel. If you're interested in a place its your responsibility to go deeper than puff pieces from any source.

Pig DNA found in beef meatballs after Muslim council complaints
Jingthing replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Everyone should have the right to be informed of what's in the food they eat, and what is not, and to not be deceived. This is a much bigger issue than specifically Islamic dogma. For example, the other day I ordered an expensive duck dish from a Chinese restaurant. It was duck alright. Duck Beaks! The menu did not say it was a dish with only Duck Beaks! What council should I complain to? -

This is kind of bad but I'm still watching it. I feel dirty. -
Oh no! I've moved countries again - now in Mauritius :)
Jingthing replied to simon43's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Hi there, Simon. What an exciting and somewhat unusual new "home" that you have. Coincidentally, I quite recently looked into Mauritius as an option but I'm confused about the income rules. I have read that you need to import the 1500 per month but from another source I read that you need to PROVE at least that amount as income (such as pension). So, which is it? If it's more flexible then someone with pension of 1300 but having assets could still easily qualify but if the rule is based on proven income, it would be a no go. Another question, do the transfers need to be each and every month, or could you in theory just import the full 18,000 one time?
