Highball

After I got over the shock from the propaganda realizing people getting sick were already sick, old. After going out and taking more, more chances I had no fear of covid. We took buses down south when it was raging. I was called in to do some teaching.. kids got COVID I didn't. Never got it and if I had I'd just be sick and better in a few weeks. I'm never sick so F COVID. Spit in its face as well as every bureaucrat and especially the fear mongers. Until COVID I'd never had a flu vax outside of childhood. In US it's really only kids, elder and infirm as the rule.

No it didn't The entire thing has been shown to be a colossal scam. Wake up. All this was BS and everyone calling the shots knew/knows it.

I plan on remaining TOTALLY unprotected Dave for my excellent immune system thanks Had two Astra. Two too many My bestie in States got a bunch of vaccines and has all sorts of health problems. He talks about dying at 76 now. But by all means...get YOURS.

Damn. Hands off Joe Dirt! That's a bridge too far!!! ❤️❤️❤️

You weren't TALKING to anyone on this forum 🥱🤯

I'm done with this thread.

May you have many more 👍👍👍

It's really just fashion. Surgeons wear them so as not to infect the patient as well as not have blood spatter in their orifices. Nothing to do with airborne germs lol. No one in the west wore masks pre COVID. Why is that? Asians rightly wear masks when they have a cold because for some bizarre reason they don't cover their mouths when they sneeze and cough. Masks lol.

Past 15 living Thailand 100%. Past 20 working, traveling SEA. Past 25 Japan, Korea. Beyond that (early mid 90s) India, Pakistan, Indonesia, SEA. As if any of that mattered

Yes, but I had requested you contribute ten reasons why Thailand is going FORWARD. You can't. I got it.

1 Well, you read enough to get the ten points... 2 Childish. You read it nonetheless and you could have contributed

I am not good at remembering pws. Don't toss my challenge back at me before completing it. What is better? Go ahead. If you read my posts I've already listed nearly ten

The election in which a party was elected, but was forced from assuming power? Quite opposite. It's solidified change will never happen. You're a laff n a half bro

Oh dear God in heaven. That's total BS. Are we back to those dark days Tall John? Masks are totally worthless. Ask your handler Fauci. The vaccines aren't even 70% effective lol 5555555

Well, I've been in sea 35 years and worked in all these countries. I believe my opinion quite valid as you do yours obviously. But please inform me. Please provide ten bullet points why the country is clearly moving forward not backward. Government promises of golden corporate industrial parks don't count unless contracts signed I'll wait 😉 Edit: it's realize or realize (UK)

IMO the Thais also have to sort themselves out. Foreign long term leasing, they'll never allow small plot ownership, even go ballistic over 50+% condo ownership. All totally stupid. Meanwhile.. allow gambling FF s. Can't think of a worse thing that's happened here since the 2014 coup

Easy Champ. Grow up. Said the same thing about Khadaffi, Hussein and Assad. Look at the mess/es. Life is complicated and full of compromise.

Really? What's better for the average Thai? Serious question

I was happy to see Taksin go not bc of the corruption but that mess of a drug war. My guess is he could have been indicted internationally in time. Of course, yellow shirt happy af and you recall all that drama of the time. Now in power .. apparently knowing how to rule, but not how to manage a state. So, five years of that nothing and then we have a military coup and the decade economic recession that exists to this day I believe Thailand's better days long behind her. When was last time you heard anyone use the term - land of smiles? Interests are too entrenched and despite the homogeneous nation functioning as a family at times - the wealthy have declared war on their poor cousins I predicted Vietnam would overtake Thailand in a decade, but I think you're already seeing evidence of this.. Their best solution? Let 30 MILLION people from developing countries stomp all over your country only to fill government coffers. Sad

Yeah, I get the responsibility thing no doubt. Still, the anti Taksin crowd was gunning for her. As I recall she wasn't party to the actual scheme. I mean this sort of crap happens all the time in the west and no one goes to prison - not saying they shouldn't. There is no justice and this is laid bare daily. Again, I just feel sorry for the avg Thai. Move Fwd not taking the helm was a real fail and indictment of the nation. The machinations that set most parties against it despite the nation being solidly behind. Nothing will change. Burn it to the ground, rule over the ashes

I will forever remember Taksin for his ineffective drug war and all the mayhem that created. I'm very concerned about Thailand. What's in it for me? I am married to a Thai and live in Thailand although that might change with the taxation and violent crime ratcheting upward. There is really zero good news here I'm afraid. Best idea thus far is to suck jobs from China as US looks at tarrifs against all these ridiculous export driven economies. A bunch of promises for a bunch of <deleted> low wage mfg jobs. Data centers lol. A staff of four Thai managed remotely. Ineffective bureaucracy, like Philippines a nation so full of laws and bureaucratic backhanders that nothing moves, a totally failed education system where best and brightest go abroad, entrenched oligarchy, Army predisposed to coups, zero innovation bc Thais are not given the intellectual juice to create and innovate. A tired system of corrupt patronage that honors and rewards anything but what it should. Anyone doubt any of this I think the last election and it's aftermath as evidence as well as the last 25 years. My prediction is we see foreigners and their money far more targeted and not in a thankful, gracious way - it will be a grab for money both by government and in the street. Things will be far more coarse five years from now. They are out of ideas. Hopefully, Taksin can deliver something of substance I can leave, I feel very sorry for these lovely people.

I don't think you know what you mean. Yeah, obviously in a better situation than an Issarn taxi driver , but you can bet they are well in debt on the vehicle and everything else - otherwise they would be sitting at home. Most have real jobs where they earn better money. Grab is just desperation side hustle

I hope he is the solution because it's been 20 years and no one has come anywhere close to getting the economy moving. He held a presser and I liked what I heard. Unfortunately, all I see is his daughter giving money away.

Yeah, I recall all your posts during those dark days. How wrong you were Tall John.
