Just leave these people ^ to their problems - because they got them.

And they would also be alive today if they were not obese, had kidney disease, diabetic, hypertension . All avoidable with a healthy lifestyle. Having said that: I'm sure the vaccines have saved lives in the comorbidities crowd.

I'm surprised most of these people with comorbidities are still walking around. Sure serious flu and covid puts them in serious condition. Not following at all this this mumbo jumbo from the Thai ministry of public health your referring to. Most serious cases , deaths ,hospital care involve those with comorbidities. End of story. https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/2020/04/15/coronavirus-risk-90-patients-had-underlying-conditions/2962721001/

Where are your facts on all this "from covid not with covid" Here some facts for you, because you need them. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34929892/

Can you name a good Thai wine from one of the Thai wineries you referred that is available in Pattaya ? The last bottle of Thai wine I bought could not even be used for cooking

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_fault

Indeed they do not have the technical knowledge to produce wine. The awful taste of these so called Thai wines is mostly from excess acetaldehyde from incomplete fermentation: the aldehyde is not being reduced (addition of hydrogen) to produce ethanol.

Did you read that many layered entire link? Because it is more complicated than 'someone says so'. At this point unless there is something very concrete/specific showing something illegal like transferring sensitive material to the Saudis In a quid pro quo exchange with his son in law, Jared who received a "loan" from Saudi Arabia - then this episode is going nowhere.

Your comparing Pebble Beach, CA. with Pattaya. Good Grief.

So in addition to avoid stepping into a well on the sidewalk. Watch for the hanging wires around your neck. And in this family friendly resort don't forget to look both ways when crossing the sidewalks

Some more for social media posts. This missing tile exposes a 1/2 meter drop to a water level. So this sidewalk just up from lam pho seafood market has no substrate at all in this area. I placed a cone on it. But a 120 kg person is going to collapse it down.

Yesterday on way to Jomtien and no one was working

A train of drivers who do not stop to allow a women with baby to continue crossing a road are selfish in any culture. And this face business only makes the problem worse : The concept of not embarrassing someone has been hi jacked by reckless selfish Thai drivers allowing them to continue being selfish and reckless without being held accountable.

About time to stick a fork in this one

Indeed and just the fact that such a high percentage of these foreigners are cigarette smokers confirms this by construction

They could get close to 18 million tourists but only continuing to move downmarket: They go on and on about high quality tourism but the long term trend is flat / declining arrivals from high spend countries and growth from low spend countries. Case in point-Pattaya beach used to have a mini high season for Europeans July and August. But with the consecutive "improvement projects" and now the beach side parking for pickup parties and locals riding motorbikes on that glorified road, promenade. The Europeans gave up. Quality tourist are not going to put up with the crowded and badly maintained environment. Thailand may get the numbers and still be poorer than ever.

There used to be stacks of them at Soi Bukow market. Cheap 100 baht. But where are they now?

Sure it's boosting domestic tourism - At the expense of foreign tourism. Like I've said before: July and August used to be mini high season along the beach with the Europeans. But after two consecutive "projects" along the beach they gave up. Now with the beach side (pickups parking) as well as lowlife locals on motorbikes on that glorified road , I mean promenade , the Europeans along the beach are long gone. Yesterday Sunday took songkow from North to South and walked beach from South to North. About 99% Thais.

Enforcing traffic controls = Singapore? = Strawman

Worn off or not effective especially for this BA 5. . https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32836826/ It's inconceivable I haven't been exposed going through this market several times a week (buying fresh garlic +) for past years. By the way I am unvaccinated for SARS-CoV-2

The best walking poles/sticks around here wash up on the beach. 2 meters bamboo and varnish.

https://thepattayanews.com/2022/07/23/42-year-old-driver-crashes-into-street-barrier-and-dies-in-pattaya/ Another one of these you don't have to worry about.

It's right here

Idiots compassion. Today on Beach around Soi-4 in this "family friendly " resort. What do these animal out of control people do every day besides turn the lights on?

And the area In back that was grassy with trees is 100% ruined. Most likely the same teams that wrecked Pattaya Beach area. (Sukhumvit by the sea) These people really know how to screw a place up.
