The more I hear about WHO the less I trust them. They love patting each other on the back, and spend vast amounts on bureaucracy that doesn't help the needy.

 

After their last reports regarding whether or not the virus was man-made in China, I don't trust them at all. They seem to be either afraid or bought by China.

 

Glad that US President Biden and other Governments are starting their own fact-finding research to unveil the truth.

I thought the OP was regarding Thai public health not China bashing?  How come you missed bad mouthing Sinovac? 

I wonder if you have actually read (or comprehend) your own footnote?

Oh dear, does this mean the TAT will have go back and redo their predictions for next years tourist arrivals?

Yes I was thinking the same but the embassies don’t care about their citizens, the British embassy anyway.

The embassies nowadays are mere cash cows charging exorbitant prices for visas and signatures.  Not long it will be "Would you like any fries with that visa?"

A good reason never to lend money to anyone, that's a Banks job,

My father once said if you have anyone hanging around you and

you want them gone, just lend them a few bob and you will never

see them again.

I like it lol!  My father taught me a slightly different one:  "Before borrowing from a friend think which it is you really need the most, the money or the friend".

When do we get proper information from this department, it changes every day. Very sad.

I learnt a long time ago that with regard to anything in Thailand it will be yes, no, yes, no, maybe, yes, no, for 6 to 12 months and then suddenly you need to be ready in 10 minutes but you really should have been here yesterday you idiot farang, and dont forget your wallet!

Sorry if this has been posted already but had me glued to the screen right through.  Think it deserved a higher rating than 4.8.

Believe it when I see it as always the case, not only, but mainly in Thailand, yet if it means the Chinese or Russian concoctions , I'll pass, thank you very much.

Oh yes you could turn into a communist and have to go hide under some yank's bed playing dominoes lol!

Sounds like they killed the goose that lays golden eggs.  I wonder why?

Anyone taking bets on how long before the czar contradicts / reverses this?

 

Sorry, but until I get a needle in my arm (twice) I'm not believing anything that comes out of this government.

 

I guess they mean it will be 'free' like residency certs are free from Immigration?

I finished off a house for the girlfriend. She already had posts and roof up. The soffiting was not vented and there was no ridge vent. We used cheapest issan bricks and when the house was finished it was extremely hot. I wish they had used soffiting with the holes all through it. The temperature in the attic space was usually 10 to 15 degrees hotter than the rooms. All I could do was add vents at the gable ends. And then I started replaceing soffit boards one by one. Dropped temperatures in attic way down but not as much as continuous roof vent would.

And then I left. haha

We have managed the heat quite well by building with Qcon, slotted soffits, and a louvred boston hip each end allowing good flow through.  The Bluescope Clean in white is also a good investment especially with the 30 year guarantee.  Then to finish it off we built a 4 meter wide verandah completely around the house creating large cool shaded areas.

Who said I don't speak Thai?  I probably speak it better that at least 80% of other farangs.

 

Really, can the TV Dreary Dans and Moaning Martins do a bunk to another thread?

 

Your lack of ability does not necessarily spread to other people.  There's a bigger world out there than just you!  ????

Nobody said you dont speak Thai did they?   I said "if" ??  Try reading my post first.

And  "if" you dont speak Thai and have to go through your wife everytime they ignore your plans or they cut a piece out of your toilet door because they have hung it swinging the wrong way etc (yes Ive seen it) you may very well get close to divorce.  You obviously need to read more building posts.

And the way you have reacted to my post also suggests that indeed you wont make it through without some calming medication lol!

The third batch of vaccine that will arrive at the end of this month is supposed to be for a risk group with seven diseases. Then, the vaccine will be offered to the general public.

Looks like I need to pick up another couple of diseases real quick but all the entertainment venues are already closed!!

Yeah but at least it gives the Muslims a well deserved break from being blamed for everything.

I actually clicked through on this with great surprise thinking a Thai General had been prosecuted but then obviously very quickly realized this simply does not happen in Thailand.

I did the same till I realised he wouldnt be a FORMER Major General in Thailand.  He would still keep his position, pension, etc and get 50% off for good behaviour, 50% off for wearing khaki trousers and a promotion to head of ethics dept!
