The ministry will meanwhile continue to prioritise quality in Thai agricultural production to gain confidence among consumers, said Prapat.

This confidence is being gambled away in many countries. Too often, contaminated Thai fruits and inedible, poisoned vegetables are discovered at the borders and imports from Thailand are prohibited. As long as in Thailand simply everything can be grown and sold uncontrolled, it is pointless.

These disadvantaged groups in Thailand have always needed more help, gladly also from CP, but this certainly does not include masks and pure PR actions.

That chance went past in 2014.

I do not mean the testimony of Dr. Yong Poovorawan in Thailand. That doctor didn't express an opinion of his own. He only says what has to be said in almost all countries of the world according to WHO guidelines. The official texts I read today about opening schools in Germany are completely identical. Unfortunately one does not hear any other opinions in public.

Certainly, children have been able to transmit diseases within their families for thousands of years. So it's best if we all stop having children?
This world belongs to our children. If I am allowed to die and my four children are allowed to live in freedom, without a health dictatorship, without masks, without "social distancing" and without any controls, then I will gladly die for them. As a father, I am willing to take this "risk" for the freedom of our kids.  

Any sensible person should simply ignore this nonsense. I certainly won't talk to robots and be watched by electric dogs to get into a shopping mall. I prefer to buy my stuff locally at a market or have the products sent to me by mail directly from small independent manufacturers. All these big companies like CP, AIS, TOPS and Co. can only be boycotted. Let them do what they want, but without me. 

It's not nice to have such photos pilloried here. You should be happy and stay cool.

What a question... - get out of Thailand if you can.
If you do not have a business you are free!

Thailand exports fruits and vegetables with very high pesticide residues and is subject to particularly stringent controls in many countries. As a result, fewer and fewer countries are still able to export to. But fortunately there is China....

the health authorities blame poor diet and poor oral hygiene for cavities and infection in the teeth of young children.

First of all, glyphosate would have to be banned as it massively attacks the solid structure of the milk teeth. This already happens during pregnancy.  But the ban has just been postponed for six months or even longer. In a few years, children will generally no longer have healthy teeth, worldwide. It is just beginning....

There's simply no other visa available for under 50 year old, single and non working in thai expats. Open the retirment visa up for under 50 year olds and i take that one instead...

Sad but true. You are right. I just hope it doesn't get any worse, especially for children who need their fathers. 

The conditions change constantly from year to year and from city to city. The latest change in my last application (Extension B) was the requirement to show all receipts for the official confirmations. It changes constantly and as a rule without lawyer or agent in the last years always several appointments are necessary. 

So far so good. And now we can start discussing the current export problems. Today I cancelled 3 x 1.000kg Air-Cargo, ordered at Thai-Airways for flights Bangkok - Frankfurt in October. It doesn't pay off anymore. Better take a break, lay on the empty beach and wait to see if they can get the Thaitanic going again. ????

The worst thing I find is double punishment. First he has to serve 20 years. After that he would be a free man in many countries of the world. But no, that is not enough in the USA. His act out of jealousy is then additionally punished with the death penalty. What crazy people who do such a thing.

In Chaengwatthana I asked the officers to come one day later - no chance, extension was canceld.

Yeah, it's sad. Yes, it is not easy to understand. But very, very slowly even the last person should have understood that the good times in Thailand are over. Unfortunately the country has no more future - dead end!
