I wonder when the test results came back. I find it hard to believe that they were notified that they tested positive and then 'did a runner', this all sounds strangely familiar to another case that happened recently. How long did the test results take to come back?

I wonder if this was part of a reward or a punishment for the children involved.

Lol, I'm pretty sure the newly touted tax will prevent this from happening.

This will kill the exchanges in Thailand. Somehow I doubt that it will happen in this way but you never know.

Are you familiar with the principle of the NDA and confidentiality during commercial transactions?

I believe from memory the reason why they didn't have a full reserve for a short while when this whole thing started is because the US government managed to get one of their bank accounts frozen, once the account was frozen it then became very urgent for the southern district of NY to get a full proof of backing, you see they had just had the bank account frozen so they knew this was not possible. This is the very definition of a manufactured crime by the prosecutors going after something political - that appears to be how they roll in the SDNY, they make something happen (freeze a bank account) which then triggers something they think they need to investigate. Now - why don't they hand over a full list of bank accounts for the US government to get frozen? Why would they? They know what will happen, more accounts will be closed down on false pretenses by rogue politically motivated prosecutors.

You think? Are people already having problems as it doesn't become active until tomorrow?

There was something published in the gazette a year or two back about crypto taxes but there was a lot more talk about it from government. It was reported here on this forum. Then there was a slightly more alarming 'rule' in which they said they would be taxing worldwide Crypto income as the blockchain is worldwide - that's what it said - it sounds like it was written by an idiot which I can confirm as it came from the government. Essentially there was at some point in the past an announcement about plans to significantly change the way the entire tax system works the moment crypto is involved but I'm not sure if this was just some idiot minister mouthing off to gain attention or an actual change in the law although there was something in the gazette. Clear as mud right - that's the way they like it until they come for your money.

They're covid prisons

You know what the news is like in Thailand, they can show anything about a foreigner they want to but if a Thai is made to look bad in any way - even if it's true then it's lawsuits all the way to a payday - for the Thai.

There's a group of people out there known as 'Tether truthers' - they believe for some reason that because the company that operates Tether (or any of the other stable coins) has the ability to 'mint' money out of thin air that is unbacked that they would naturally do so. It's a fringe group made up of conspiracy theorist loons who believe that large companies are not allowed to use their own money by banks to purchase stablecoins which are then used to trade crypto. I've seen them argue that a company would not be allowed to use a few hundred million dollars of its own money for a transaction without all sorts of special permissions from government, this is of course pure nonsense. I've come across a lot of these people who hound Paolo Ardoino (the Tether company guy) on Twitter every day, they've been at it for years and I've been following their arguments which are almost 100% nonsense, many people used to listen to them but not so much any more. Essentially I believe that it boils down to this : If the 'tether truther' had the chance to rip off everyone in the world by making tens of billions of dollars worth of completely unbacked tokens then they would 100% do it without thinking twice and they can't believe that anyone else in the same position wouldn't also do the same - therefore all the stablecoins must be unbacked and printed uncontrollably. They're projecting, they would steal it all, so surely everyone else is as corrupt as them - they can't see it any other way - everyone must be corrupt because that's just how people are. This attitude that if you can steal from people then surely you will reveals the character of the 'tether truther' - they're a bunch of dishonest crooks who assume that everyone else is just like them, if they had the chance to fraudulently mint billions in fake money they would of course do it, therefore everyone else would as well. This person is a 'tether truther'

So what? If someone hit me I'd hit them back too. There's a reason he's being arrested for assault and not her and yes, the police have of course seen the full video.

The official regulations will be ignored when the country is overwhelmed with cases. I'm sure they will still be locking up foreigners but for the vast majority of the population nothing will happen - it will be ignored and allowed to play out. Remember, they said it's 'under control' - believe those words because they are the truth, nothing is happening that's not allowed to happen, perhaps not officially according to the law but it's allowed all the same. They can't open the floodgates and deliberately welcome Omicron with open arms, but they sure could have kept it out for months by cancelling the arrival of all the 'test and go' tourists which they chose not to do. There's a reason for that.

When they have tens of thousands of cases every day all these rules and regulations will be abandoned.

Makes sense, so many people have covid that it really doesn't matter any more. Thailand is not in this situation yet, but it will be and soon.

I'm not so sure about that, most people are woefully uneducated about foreign rules and regulations. Just look at the problems people get themselves into with immigration issues - most have no clue, we've even had people on the elite visas overstaying and being banned. Hardly anyone actually reads all of the smallprint.

This line says it all. This greedy <deleted> of a man has just destroyed his cash cow by being obnoxious, bankruptcy awaits him.

Oh dear, this guy is in for a very big surprise. He's not in charge, the virus will run rampant throughout the whole country, millions will get it. However I suspect it won't really matter, nearly all of them will be just fine after a few days, not because of anything Anutin does but despite anything he does.

Indeed, staff absences due to isolation regulations at the hospitals are causing serious problems in the UK There's plenty of 'beds' available but less staff, I did read something about ICU staff being redeployed to other areas where they're needed more, the reverse of what was happening in the Delta wave. This is different and brings a new set of problems, however they will only be temporary, each wave of staff absences will pass after 7 days, how many waves of absences there will be remains unknown - it will likely continue until they've all been infected which could take a few months.

A bit like gold which isn't used for jewellery or electronics purposes, the kind that sits in bank vaults guarded 24/7 at great cost and under constant threat of violent theft?

Did you put a claim in? It's too late to file a new claim now but if you previously claimed then I would expect a distribution some time this year.

It matters not what he says, the virus is clearly in charge, not the politicians, doctors or scientists. There will be many more variants, the more cases there are then the more variants there are, For example, covid swept through India last year giving us Delta, well now Omicron is taking off in India, I expect newer variants of Omicron to emerge in the next few months. Perhaps they will be even milder than Omicron, one thing's for sure, once it gets to India it's on a journey which passes through every country between India and China and all the bordering countries along the way, including here.

Well by the looks of it - almost everyone ????

When someone books a holiday they should be warned that they must have between 4000 and 5000 Euro per person ready and available to spend just in case they test positive for COVID at any point during their short holiday because this is what they will be charged for the non emergency (not medically justified or required in any way) hospitalisation that is mandated by whichever moron is in charge. That will either end the tourist industry until the law changes (if it is a law) or put an end to this nonsense - one or the other.

Are more people dying on the roads than from covid? I would look up the numbers but I can't be bothered due to lazyness and also not giving a sheet one way or the other really.
