  1. It will likely only be temporary anyway but if her hair is falling out as well then a repeat procedure might not be worth the bother.
  2. It's hard to imagine the kind of emty headedness required to construct a burger and forget to put the main ingredient in.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. I had to get one for a Kasikorn account once.
  6. 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>.
  7. It's becoming increasingly normal for youngsters to collapse with stoke and heart related symptoms in the last year.
  8. It doesn't need to be rocket science, remember - these people are idiots.
  9. 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.
  10. Yes indeed this new proposed tax will not go down well with the operators of the Thai crypto exchanges.
  11. 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....
  12. Interesting, the ship was doing ok all by itself right up until the moment Navy started meddling with it ????
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Agreed completely, that they didn't cancel the test and go tourists who had already booked reveals their plan here. They know it's coming and decided to let it in. Don't forget, they said it's all under control and I do believe them when they said this.
  16. 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 ????
  17. I think you just described the central banking system since we came off the gold standard.
  18. 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?
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
