I once had an immigration officer pull out a huge magnifying glass and scrutinise my passport, he then asked me to fill out a form with all the details on the passport while not being able to look at it - I guess he was trying to catch me out ???? This was at Riga airport in Latvia long before they joined the EU. Very weird situation in an almost empty airport. There was nothing wrong with my passport either and I used it on a regular basis back in those days. Maybe they were looking for someone trying to sneak in who fit my age / profile - you never know I guess.

They collect intelligence information on you, it's the same reason why they wanted a phone number of a 'friend' in Thailand from the OP.

I won't be surprised if Boris makes a comeback.

Meanwhile the price of Yabba is at historical lows and beng used and sold everywhere all over the country and they can't stop it. Something tells me they've got their priorities wrong - why don't they arrest the people who run the drugs distribution all over the country? I'm sure they know who they are, but that might be the reason why they're not arrested.

Once those flight prices normalise I'm sure plenty will come

That's a shame, I hope they continue research on antivirals as they are really needed.

After what happened to his buddy Viktor I doubt he will ever come here.

I'll bet the vast majority of it is still overseas

But if there's any kind of road accident you're supposed to stop (it's the law) and take a beating from anyone who feels like having a dig ????

I wonder why they were both arrested? Is it a crime to simply watch or be present at a street brawl these days? I once saw a brawl between a few Thais where one killed the other with a machete, nothing to do with me, I carried on drinking my beer in the distance. The injured party went to hospital and died later. The cops didn't look for witnesses, nobody cared as it was a group of low level scumbags fighting between themselves, the machete guy did a couple of years in prison and was released long ago.

Indeed, we're not allowed to see how it started, I can only imagine why and I'll bet it doesn't support the reported narrative.

Qualified people get jobs - that's the real headline.

It makes all the difference in the world, that's why the footage is being hidden.

Don't rule anything out.

Interesting, I was under the impression that quarantine was a thing of the past. I wonder if they're going to quarantine everyone going forward?

Indeed, we already know they are violent thugs. I wonder what else they do to pass the time.......

Of course it is, it's everywhere.

One question about Binance, I like the exchange but I've been put off by the verification thing as I doubt they will read Thai. When you verify your address with Binance, how do you do it? I assume you can use a 'certificate of residence' from immigration - but I seem to recall they only do them in Thai.

Sure, infections are up so hospitalisations will increase, but what they appear to be saying is that they're not going up in proportion with the number of infections - which is where I assume they're getting the '30% lower risk of hospitalisation'. If the percentage of the newly infected who end up in hospital goes down compared to BA.5 then it's a very good thing, especially when you take into consideration that the number of hospitalisations already plummeted with BA.5 compared to the previous variants from 2021 and 2020. It suggests that things are moving in the right direction.

Lol, it will always change, lets not assume that the situation doesn't change for the better, see my 'snippet' from the Singapore Governments response to the recent misinformation.

Yes, I read that, then I read this - the above is wrong. Someone is hyping XBB all over the internet and incorrectly so according to the Government of Singapore. Source of the following is the Singapore Government and published today : https://www.gov.sg/article/factually141022-a

Get ready, here we go. I wondered what would emerge as winter draws near, is this it?

Wow, I guess they managed to find a ready supply at a time when the rest of the world is surely doing the same thing.

Can't see Putin attending in person but who knows, I note it says 'participation', not attendance. My guess would be a representative in person and perhaps a video link from the man himself.

They made 'meth' illegal - problem solved as far as they're concerned.
