Omicron shmicron. It's common knowledge that by natural selection viruses become less lethal, a virus that kills it's host does not go forward. Here some photos of the omicron party every Saturday and Sunday at Lam pho seafood market in Naklua. Be there be square. Been going through about 100 times in last few years . For sure many exposures. Always negative test including antibody test . Best to take care of yourself in stead of taking the mystery juice.

I have always said the vaccines save lives in those with comorbidities like obesity, diabetis, hypertension, liver, kidney disease, cigarette smokers.But a healthy person should not risk the side effects of this stuff. And to those who say get vaccinated for the benafit of the general population: 1) the vaccines do not prevent transmission 2) It is these self imposed unhealthy lifestyles that is more responsible for transmission between these sickly people

Aren't the denials around here just unbelievable, not only that but they continue with this same tiresome narrative completely disregarding the information in the quote they are replying to. Like I said before regarding posting with these people: No mas

I don't need luck Jim, healthy, BMI=21 . Haven't had any flu vaccines either. There is no doubt that I have been exposed to this virus many times like at these very crowded seafood markets. I even went to Pattaya International Hospital and had an antibody test for SARS-CoV-2. Negative. You can research 'exposure without infection' And of course that is also without vaccine

Why so many more died with covid in red states? Maybe political party affiliation is a proxy for other risk factors such as income, health insurance status and chronic / comorbidities medical conditions, along with race and ethnicity. I'm surprised alot of those people from red or blue states were still walking around.

Oh yeah sure. Like dismantling the incomplete Southern border structures, allowing in thousands of illegals to flood in with benefits, allowing anarchy in the cities, supporting the military industrial complex on that not such a winding road from Afghanistan to Ukraine. And I've about given up replying to you people. And not even going to get into this covid business. Except to say I am unvaccinated for SARS-CoV-2

Evidently you are deflecting from the context here Hoss. This is about Pattaya not the UK or Madagascar. If your not in Pattaya then refer to the Pattaya news section. Even Stevie Wonder could see who 90% of the (too many) screw ups around here are

Indeed and this unknown exposure in Thailand may require shoring ups with the foreign currency reserves leaving less of those reserves that are currently proping up the baht.

Too many thai males in Pattaya . And to answer the question: Yes safe crossing are easy but you may have to wait 20 minutes for a clearing- your call

Maybe by destruction of the native natural environment along the beach cities: For example the North end of Jomtien just past the police building : That area to the North was a nice shady sandy area with alot of native Casuarina trees . Now it is a large parking lot with palm trees. And that parking lot has very few cars at any time. The oblivious chinese don't care but for Westerners it's another bogus contract/kickback project at the expense of a nice natural environment. And there are plans to continue this same destruction Southward. Following the same playbook that turned the Pattaya beach promenade into a glorified Rd. As I've said a few times: July/August used to be a mini high season for Europeans along Pattaya beach. The city lost that crowd to endless construction with Chinese tour buss traffic where you could about walk the length of Beach Rd on top of tour busses. Now with the tour busses gone you have beach side pickup party parking.

The Thai economist ,Chartchai wrote an article on the situation. Titled " Why do I Smell Tom yum kung cooking"And among the observations :

Short falls in tourism and exports. Is that why the Bank of Thailand continues to prop up the baht to artificial levels?? We shall see how that works out.

Commonly known as a word salad

And what an attitude from a country/seaside resort that depends on tourism for major part of GDP: Just don't giva... They are so fortunate that the supply of first time visitors exceeds those not coming back.

Could care less who is running this country from whatever means. Only two things matter in my book: visa requirements & exchange rate.

This is going to be a never ending project: all the feeder roads infrastructure for kilometers are going to be under construction. They can't even complete the endless ****shows all over the place. Photo second Rd endless

But the bahts value now is not in line with fundamentals. And if those fundamentals, tourism, exports, outflows, household debt/consumer spending keep going South then how sustainable is this artificial baht exchange rate. Those foreign currency reserves are going to be needed to cover the aboves.

You can do some searching on what this Thai economist knows about the foreign currency reserves and the Bank of Thailand intervening in the exchange rate.

Teflon bought with billions in foreign currency reserves (37 $billion in past two and a half years) by BOT to prop up/defend the baht. https://www.thaienquirer.com/44229/thai-baht-heads-to-near-37-baht-us-as-bot-defends-its-use-of-19-billion-in-defending-the-currency/

And also stop intervening in the foreign exchange rate. According to Chartchai Parasuk a noted Thai economist: The Bank of Thailand has spent $37 billion defending the baht over the past two and a half years. If not the baht could be at 45/$

And if the Bank of Thailand was not spending foreign currency reserves defending the baht the exchange rate would be about 58baht/pound. According to Chartchai Parasuk,a noted Thai economist: The BOT has already spent $37 billion defending the baht over the past two and a half years. If not the baht would be 45/$

The only thing that is going to change is that this partying is going to get louder and with more Thais piling in. And I could care less. Given up on Pattaya beach day or night anyway. Let them knock themselves out. When I was 20,22 we would stay up and party in Laguna Beach/Ensenada for 2&3 days and nights at a time.

Good ^ And in particular with the big increase in the Thai population here + beach side parking along Pattaya beach the city has caused this problem. Who did they expect to attract with beach side (pickup party parking) Mr &Mrs from Europe. To the contrary those folks are going elsewhere.

They pollute the outside air all over Pattaya. Im on defensive breathing all over this area. Should be a notice on Trip Advisor for nonsmokers. Again this is for outdoors. More power to these officials for taking charge. And they really should up their game an fine "these cigarette smokers" smoking in illigal areas like these lowlifes (by construction) smoking at entrances to public buildings.

They are not tourists , they are Thais and contrary to what some are saying here this has not been "going on for years" at this particular beach. I lived just up the road here about 3 years ago. There was some beach parking parties but it was not so many and loud all night. What's going on is there is major increase and counting in the Thai population here.
