I don't have any concerns at all.

I'll try my best not to worry too much ????

This seems to be a change in policy. I remember a couple of years back when some ignorant government minister was chastising them for becoming infected with covid as if they were being negligent or something.

What's the problem here? I've seen photos of people in canoes and boats during floods, were they arrested too? Where do they draw the line here?

He didn't fire it, what's the problem? Nothing will happen because nobody cares.

He did - he was very clear - he hated it.

That laughter reaction would sure come in useful right now.

You might not realise it but this was a failed suicide attempt.

Works for me, when I click the laugh emoji it means I'm laughing - either at them or with them.

I had a little gang of bullies with a leader who they all followed whilst in Junior school. They wouldn't listen to reason and the school ignored my complaints so I did what needed doing - I resorted to violence. When I isolated this little jumped up 'leader' of theirs on his own without his little gang and beat the <deleted> out of him I strangely never heard from them again, none of them. You see, I promised to come back and do it repeatedly should they ever bother me again. I was about 11. It most certainly worked. The difference here is that we only used fists as our weapons.

Japan is right now at this time undergoing a massive surge in COVID with both cases and deaths at peaks matching or higher than anything that came before now. It's unclear if it's peaked yet, it may be at the peak right now but it's hard to tell from charts.... It's a massive BA.5 wave, it shows up on the normal stats sites and is mentioned in the world news, here's a little link that mentions the current 7th wave in Japan : https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2022/08/16/national/covid-deaths/ So they may have relaxed things a little but be prepared for the unexpected as it is a rapidly developing situation over there and it's happening right now. Lets hope this is not an indication of things to come elsewhere as it's not looking so great over there....

I guess that depends on how long it's been since he last attempted to enter Thailand and when they introduced the biometrics systems.

I heard a very different story about what happened here.

The whole thing is pathetic and everyone knows it, the Thais included.

If anything I do aligns with what society expects then it's largely coincidence.

Indeed, I once read a review for a movie on IMDB and someone wrote a review complaining that in order to follow the movie he had to actually use his brain and think. He didn't like that one bit - the result being - 1 out of 10 for the movie.....

This is one of my long standing gripes - it's destroying things slowly but surely everwhere they roll it out. Auditing peoples bank accounts is fine if they want to move and live in a country permanently - doing the same thing for someone who wants to go on holiday is absolute insanity.

Why was it postponed?

I liked it as did my father.

Oh, the irony ????

I will only ever learn the languages of the countries which issue me a passport.

Exactly

Not always.

Some people do self insure and it's definitely not a fantasy, they are not however what you might call normal people. We're talking about people with many millions of USD or equivalent available - and in my opinion that's what it takes to self insure.

It's not over.
