saying that the idea was not practical

Since when has this government worried about practicality??  This would take forward thinking and planning etc.  No, lets just do what we always do, impliment the changes immediately and then patch it all up as we go along when problems arrive.  In this way the laws are confusing, vague and open to interpretation so we still got them by the balls.

So does my cat need to wear a mask now outside and when on a motorbike?

Yes if closer than 1.5 mts to any other living thing of course!  Please use some common sense here please.

In the civilised world, the government would have thought about, discussed, and implemented these laws BEFORE making the stuff legal.

It really does beggar belief how inept these Muppets are!

Exactly!  Kinda makes one feel all snug and secure knowing that if a disaster was to strike here we have the very best looking after our interests. lol!  (tho I think you were a little hard on Muppets everywhere)

The DoA has also signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Public Health Ministry regarding the use of cannabis for medical benefits and research, which is essential to its efforts to promote cannabis for household use.

"for household use"?,   yep I'm all for that.

Not worth mentioning.

Having a license does not indicate quality of driving.  Being a 17 year old Thai I am sure he has had many many years of driving experience lol.

I was always under the impression China was driven by $$$$ cloaked in ideology.

Of course this is plainly obvious to everybody...well nearly everybody.  Otherwise China would still be playing the pure communist ideology instead of the semi capitalist ideology currently practised.

This is pure propaganda from that most paranoid of countries I'm sure.

That's not true, I've had my damaged BBL debit card replaced a number of times at local branches.

Thats not true.  I have just been through the process in Kalasin, either return to Bangkok or transfer the balance to new account in Kalasin.  I also checked with 3 branches...same story.

Seems like everyday some official makes a statement regarding some amendment to current regulations that are then reported in the press. Often within hours the new orders are recinded in another frequent  U turn. People are sick and tired ofconstant corrections from  publicly mad  idiots 

I think the worst was a few years ago when, just a couple of weeks before Songkran, the Govt suddenly announced no more riding in the back of pickups.  Everybody was in a sudden flurry trying to make alternative arrangements to get home for Songkran.  Buses, planes and trains were all full, people were in a panic.  The govt woke up at the last monment and said "yeah well, err aaahh maybe people need more notice than that" and reversed the law stating they would look into it all when everything settles down after songkran.  Never heard another word about the new law and thats got to be 3 to 5 years ago lol!

I perfectly understand the man....I have been close to that on severaL occasions.  Bangkok Bank have some crazy ideas/rules and some even crazier staff making them up.  One of them is do you know if your ATM card expires or is faulty you must travel yourself in person the accounts home branch to get it replaced?  Any other bank can replace no matter where you are.  So imagine you have an a/c at BB in Silom and you go on holidays to Chiang Rai and lose your card, or it expires, you are up sh#t creek because you need to get back to Bangkok to do anything about it.

Frankly, it needs to have a hefty rise, as does Coke. Both are poison and contribute to the obesity crisis facing Thailand at the moment. 

Agreed.....couldnt care less how much pepsi costs, rather buy a kilo of sugar and some paint remover.......aweful stuff!

Authorities assured that no cases have been found in Thailand since screening measures for the virus began

Is this the same kind of screening thats done with the health checks for a work permit or drivers license.  Theyre so good at them they dont even have to see the patient.

He also instructed officials to ramp up anti-smuggling measures along border areas

How can they keep 'ramping up' anti smuggling measures when you would think they should be running at 100% already , considering the covid pandemic as well as their current attempt at getting a downgrade in human trafficking status with the US?

Since when has "criticism of the US" been a point of contention, or not permitted, on Thaivisa?
