What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2021)
ThaiFelix replied to CharlieH's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
We are not what we say we are nor stand for what we say we stand for. God Bless Us! -
Back home I had a mate in the glass business. His biggest jobs were night clubs supplying mirrored walls etc, and they always came after the clubs had been burnt out by "accidental electrical fires" just at a time when the venues needed a decor/theme change. As 'luck' would have it the revamps were paid for by insurance claims. However I can never understand why sometimes he had the requests for quotations and new plans BEFORE the fire??

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2021)
ThaiFelix replied to CharlieH's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Thank you. An excellent documentary which I somehow seem to have missed. If you havn't read or heard of it before there is an excellent book on the subject by Jim Garrison, DA of New Orleans 1962-74 titled "JFK: On the Trail of the Assassins" which discloses a lot of the same especially Lee Harvey Oswald's ties to the CIA, the cover-ups, the misinformation, etc. How do they continue to get away with it all? -
No that is incorrect. Try to look past the China hating and it will be clear to you. I am in Isaan and since July the vax has been first shot Sinovac followed by AZ as second. For the last 2 months or more its been AZ for 1st and second. Over 60's such as myself and those with ailments such as my wife with diabetes, have been both AZ starting from 6 July which is the date promised by the govt. They havnt been using Sinovac for a while here.

Mmmm can only give you my experience but I live in Kalasin province and got my first AZ (NOT SINOVAC) shot first week in July. I am over 60, which may contribute, but the hospital rang, said they have a stock of vaccine but many locals were refusing so they started looking at farang on the list. My FIL refused to be vaccinated until his youngest daughter offered to pay him 1,000 baht per shot. Make what you will of that. Something else I have noticed up here is the locals having no idea about current affairs. I have never seen a newspaper during the 8 years here let alone someone reading one. The TV channel is changed when the news comes on to whatever Thai soapy is available. Everything is word of mouth and mostly wrong, For example yesterday was the end of our rice harvest where all the workers get together for a feed and a few drinks. No masks were to be seen. About 4 or 5 of the men were drinking lao khao, all from the one glass as per usual, and when another worker rolled up wearing a mask, he was told it was not necessary because everyone was vaccinated.

Legal public casino set for top level government discussions this week
ThaiFelix replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
By being willing to discuss it, are they in fact saying that gambling is more acceptable to Thai culture than pornography is even though gambling destroys 1,000's of peoples lives every year? -

ThaiFelix replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I hope they checked with the CIA first to make sure this wasnt one of their operations to raise funds to support the overthrow of some democratically elected government or possibly to finance their war on drugs?? -
Has anyone purchased (not upgraded) Windows 11 in Thailand.

Yeah thats what I thought according to the settings (1 month) but it went ahead and updated overnight after only 1 week. -
As Thailand reopens, signs of economic recovery are visible
ThaiFelix replied to Jonathan Fairfield's topic in Thailand News
So any economic recovery is due to returning expats because they have already admitted that very few are tourists. Notice the wording is now 'arrivals' not 'tourists' LOL! -
Has anyone purchased (not upgraded) Windows 11 in Thailand.
ThaiFelix replied to up2you2's topic in IT and Computers
I am still having loads of problems with Win 10, certainly not looking forward to 11. MS have done 2 updates in last couple of weeks even though I have done everything I can find to turn them off. Each of the updates have removed all my files, settings etc and taken me hours to reverse the updates and get my laptop back. It would be nice to actually have some control of your own computer or get an update that works instead of them releasing a product and them waiting for their customers to tell them whats wrong with it!! -
Apart from everything else you have to take into consideration that Thais believe that every farang has a money tree in their backyards, that there are no poor farang. All those tens of thousands or more of farang who have been out of work since this pandemic started have just had more time to harvest 1,000 baht notes from their money trees and now can have a nice holiday in Thailand.

Actually, 6 of the cars were found to belong to a dead friend from whom Joe was just borrowing them.

https://visaguide.world/news/45-world-countries-recognise-chinese-sinovac-vaccine-for-travel-amid-covid-19/ This has since been updated to 50 countries now accepting Sinovac for travel however since the article was published, the UK, Australia and others have joined the list. I guess the authors forgot to check with the experts on TV first LMAO!
