I was under the impression that under Thai law the seaward side buildings are illegal structures. It would improve walking street if they were torn down rather than 'repaired'.

Non drinkers presumably.

According to the US CDC, in a normal year deaths from influenza are 15.2 per 100,000 of population and COVID is 3 per 100,000 of population (in Thailand)

100,000 arrivals since the country more fully reopened on November 1st.

If we leave out the Burmese guest workers and returning expats/family, how many is it really?

Mr Sonthiya warned that any MP who supports the proposal could be in breach of parliamentary ethics.

Is being a convicted drug smuggler not a breach of parliamentary ethics? 

So, MPs can't debate anything that Mr Sonthiya disagrees with as it would be breach of parliamentary ethics? Can he show the public the relevant section of the law that supports his hypothesis? Would it be against the 'parliamentary ethics' (a classic example of an oxymoron) if MPs debated whether he should be removed from his post?

Thank the heavens for TAT; if it wasn't for them the place will be crawling with foreigners.

He again stressed that vaccination does not mean you can't be infected but that people vaxxed are very unlikely to need intubation or die.

8 fully vaccinated people died and 69 other fully vaccinated people (out of 90) have contracted covid in a Connecticut nursing home.

'New normal'? Does he mean these rules are going to be permanent? Some highlights are:

Continually wash your hands with alcohol (even though it achieves nothing) but don't drink any.

Always wear a mask.

Be fully vaccinated.

Carry a covid passport ready to scrutinised by any busybody that asks.

No smoking.

No singing.

Social distancing.

No nightlife (provisionally projected to reopen on January 18th 2097 as long as people have had their 50th booster shot)

No Khratongs ^{(citation needed)}

The good news is that there won't be any tourists to crowd you out, although he projects over 1 million tourists expected in the New Year.

Say, aside from the murder, how's the sandbox going?

He got his his 'data' from a anti-alcohol website in the US and even they had to concede that your throat muscles contract but ONLY...

With prolonged, heavy consumption

He also seems to be saying that if you breath deeply you'll get covid and he is charge of the Health Department...?

I never thought I'd see 'Quality' and the 'Thai Education system' in the same sentence.

Is it being suggested that every Nobel prize for treatments of infectious diseases has produced a drug that will work against the current covid scourge? All 33 of them?

Talk about a non-sequitur! (It won a Nobel therefore it's a good treatment for a disease that arose years later.) 

 

Or perhaps something else was meant.

It's an anti-inflammatory drug, many of the problems with covid are to do with constriction of airways. The nobel reference was to do with ignorant people calling it a 'horse dewormer' . I was just highlighting the fact that it completely safe for humans.

They can do it even today .

Simply order medic companies to produce ivermectin and give it to the people.

haha 

im not a horse anyway.

In 2015, the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine, in its only award for treatments of infectious diseases for six decades, honoured the discovery of ivermectin (IVM), a multifaceted drug deployed against some of the world's most devastating tropical diseases.

Is there anything left to open?

Do tourists still need to sacrifice a virgin?

You can sunbathe in Cleethorpes?

The US is sending over one of its top drug experts to help with the incineration

When a company does this it can be a sign that they have cash-flow problems. I'm not saying this is true; but, it makes you wonder...

I ordered a tablet directly from the Lenovo website and they withheld the order saying there were "credit issues" even though it was paid via a direct bank transfer. I sent them the payment acknowledgement and have heard nothing since. So, no tablet and no money.

This is the 2nd time I bought something directly from them and the 2nd time I had issues with payment - I know fool me once etc. but they promised me faithfully they had changed their system so it COULDN'T be repeated.

On my last order they also stated they had stock in Thailand and it would arrive within 5-8 days. As it was they didn't have stock here and it took over a month to come from China, which was really annoying as I needed it for an urgent job.

Has anyone else had problems with them?
