They're doing a good job of making sure Delta continues to circulate at the moment. The only way they get rid of that is by allowing Omicron to 'push it out' - and there's no way they're going to do that. China has the same problem, they will never admit defeat to a mere virus but in the end they will be defeated by it. The longer it takes, the more will die from previous circulating variants.

Finance Ministry to Leverage AI for State Welfare Cards
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
They need 'AI' to process that simple requirement? The mind boggles. I have no doubt this will be a complete disaster, they should try hiring someone with actual intelliegence rather than rely on the artificial kind. -
I had to get one for a Kasikorn account once.

PM asks Revenue Dept to clarify its cryptocurrency tax policy
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
If they tax it then people will just use another country to do their business in, it's really as simple as that. If you want to kill the industry in Thailand then taxation is the way to go. I note that they're doing something similar with the stock exchange which I also expect to go to <deleted>. -

It doesn't need to be rocket science, remember - these people are idiots. -
Mass vaccinations, tests, among measures to handle Omicron wave

You don't handle Omicron, Omicron handles you. -
Thai virologist downplays presence of new ‘Deltacron’ COVID variant

Not if you dig a bit, I won't elaborate here on this forum about something like this ever again. Consider me silenced on this matter. -
PM Wants Clarification on Cryptocurrency Gain Tax

Yes indeed this new proposed tax will not go down well with the operators of the Thai crypto exchanges. -
Finance Ministry Considering EV Import Duty Rates Revision

80% tax, no thanks! -
It's not a 'loophole' if it's intentional. It is most definitely intentional, they knew the situation in Europe and the US yet decided to proceed. They definitely seem to be moving in a different direction to China. I suspect China has been pressuring the zero covid strategy, which as we know is not very deisrable to a country which relies on visitors and once it's here - it's impossible to stop. They appear to have chosen the let it in and now it's impossible to stop route, it would have walked here from South Asia anyway....

Thai PM orders troops to prepare resources to set up field hospitals
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They're still trying to fight the inevitable. Those field hospitals will be full of people who are not ill at all and used as quarantine camps. -
So what? Is this against the rules or something? They can stay where they like surely? Do they not ask for a phone number for urgent contact when the tests are done? I can't believe they don't - they ask for phone numbers for anything here - even if it doesn't need a phone number - it's always on the form.
-
No, they weren't, this was not the first test, it was the follow up test so they didn't have to do anything until the result came in. Normally when I fill out almost any form in Thailand it asks for a movile phone number, are they not simply asking for the phone number in case someone tests positive in which case they could phone you and tell you to report to the nearest covid prison ????

All this talk of zero sum games, etc is irrelevant if the 'game' lasts a 1000 years. The fiat money system has been around in one form or another since its origins around 1000 years ago when they ran out of metal and shells, I wonder how long that game will last for ???? How much are those shells worth now?

Recommend good Crytpo exchange from Thailqnd
ukrules replied to 2008bangkok's topic in Cryptocurrency News
UpBit Thailand - they're a Singaporean company but operate from inside Thailand as well. There is one caveat, when you use it the first time they do make you wait a few days before making any kind of withdrawal so you should bear that in mind. Personally I would use a Thai exchange only to buy, never to sell for various reasons related to taxation. -
Thailand's COVID-19 cases continue to surge with 8,263 new cases
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It doesn't matter, deaths are expected - there's a pandemic of a relatively new virus going around. Things are moving in the right direction in the medium term, just compare right now with last year - there's a big difference. Jan 6, 2022 UK Deaths : 232 Jan 6, 2021 UK Deaths : 1043 Of course the vulnerable can only die once so perhaps if the COVID virus hit for the first time just a month ago the figures would be the same, there's no way to tell though. -
Thailand's COVID-19 cases continue to surge with 8,263 new cases
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They were never in control, the virus is in control and it's spreading, all they can do is react and perhaps control how they react although I have my doubts. They will implement measures which prove completely ineffective and then it will be pats on the back all around no matter how many cases there are because of course without whatever dumb actions they take the situation would no doubt have been far worse had they not acted and that will be the justification for whatever comes in the next couple of weeks and it's coming hard and fast now. So they can do anything they want, so long as they're seen to be doing something, that's all that matters - it's all under control regardless of the outcome.
