Well, there were no numbers to report, so that was an easy task
Yes he did no tests, hence no infections, and deaths were assigned to something unrelated, yet there were about 20.000 excessive deaths in the first 6 months this year

He admits that it's the government's fault. Kudos to you, Mr P. If only some of the idiot governments in the West were so honest.
A good honest answer .... imo

He's done an excellent job in updating the press & media about COVID-19 and the numbers. He has been exceptional in implementing strict measures to curb the virus and it's transmission.
I am very thankful to him and I am glad i'm here in Thailand and not Brazil or the US or Victoria.
Credit where credit is due and I think it's high time the moaners and whinging farang eat humble pie as they continue to whine about nothing. Great job Thailand .... we wish you well ... and the others ! well .... you all know what they can do. lol

Just today we had a neighbor place a huge speaker outside of his door and blast his music for awhile. It is normally a quiet neighborhood. I asked my Thai wife to have a word with them. I told her it was best to discourage it rather than not saying anything and setting a precedent. She was very hesitant. I encouraged her to be very polite and simply make them aware of how much noise they were making.
They were very nice about it and turned the music off. Later I saw him in the street and he apologized to me! I was shocked. Told him how kind he was and it was all smiles.
It really depends. Many Thais are quite kind.
yes ..... I think you've presented a good example that shows I really don't think they understand that it is annoying the folks next door .... It's just a natural thing to them that they like the music loud so friends will hear & see that and they don't think when turning it on how it's not acceptable in western culture.
They don't mean disrespect or lack of consideration .... I think it's they simply don't think when turning it on.
Their mindset is completely different to ours. imo

Happened to me once playing a course in Bangkok with a fellow expat and a couple of Thai Army officers.
Hit an iron off the fairway, great connection, only for the ball to hit a tree, it rebounded back and hit my caddied in the face, blood everywhere.
Asked the two Thai guys for some advice and both said Caddie should of been looking and to pay nothing.
Finished the round(replacement caddie) and the starter approached me as i was about to drive off, could not understand much but got the jist of it and gave him 500 Baht.
Turned out caddie had 2 front teeth knocked out, but that was the last i heard about the incident and been back numerous times.
the caddie now wants 500,000

my guess he's either asked them many times before without success or he's had a previous run inn's with them.
I would have thought a warning shot would be suffice to turn it down, apparently not . lol

The beaches on Koh Kood run down the west of the island. There aren’t any on the inaccessible east coast. In the centre of the island is Klong Chao beach. A 500 metre long swathe of white sand dotted with just four boutique resorts. Close by is a small community and easily accessible shops and restaurants. A little further south, Ngamkho Beach and Bang Bao Beach both offer a range of resorts and bungalows, but if you want to avoid eating in resorts you might find a scooter is required to get out and about.

A warm welcome to Thaivisa.
Wuhan, you didn't have 800k in the bank .... seasoned for 2 months .... yet you wanted the immigration officer to work around that. You wanted him to process your application from a tourist visa to a non-0 based on retirement without everything in place.

What "papers in order"? THe IO claimed Visa Amnesty = overstay and excludes one from consideration for other visas. This is clearly untrue; so I don't see why you think this is a "benefit" to me.
I was stunned it was right in the open with all the non-uniformed workers right there. I thought this kind of thing was more on the down low. I mean, they were literally funneling people to this IO.
stop whinging and accept it or look another IO elsewhere. Your complaining because you couldn't beat the system.

Indeed... We wanted to rent a place closer to our sons school. We found a decent house, but it was in dire need of decorating and was over priced. It had been empty for a year.
The landlady wouldn’t negotiate, the place is still empty. I’m still getting messages from the agent asking if I wanted the place up to 1 year later - so its now been empty for 2 years instead of accepting a rent which was lower than the asking price, but reasonable given the area and the going rate of other houses in the same complex.
just shows how uneducated they are .... she could have rented it for a few years and at worst lost 100,000 from her original asking but make 280-220k .... you can't teach stupid.

You have been provided with a mix of advice regarding leases, owners etc. Right at this moment, I would be in charge of what I was willing to pay on a 1 or 2 year lease agreement. With an astounding amount of empty condos on the market and the continuous building of new ones, my suggestion is to deal with owners first. What ever the monthly amount is, start by offering half the amount first. Use your negotiating skills as this is a renters market. Offer, counter offer will eventually lead to a meeting of the minds. You are in control, so use your position be firm and if there is no agreement on the price of say, a 2 year contract, just shake your head and head to the exit. There are 50,000 empty units available in Bangkok. Use that advantage in your favour. Bye, Chok dee Kop! May I suggest an area I find desirable? For me it is the On Nut area. I was in a condo unit 150 meters from the Sky Train. Plus the entrance to the mall connected to the station had a Lotus in it and other shoppes. Super convenient on the way back home. Did some shopping upon my return in Lotus and a brief walk home. Choose your location wisely for local flooding during Monsoon Season. Best of Luck to you!
Many Thai landlords do have a mindset that they would rather leave their rental empty than lower the price .... similar to sales i guess. just saying.

If the star is still popping up in the same location .... get a black spot sticker and place over the star when you see it next. This will remove the star from your view.

I wouldn't bother saying anything .... they have already shown they disapprove of your work .... hence not saying anything is actually telling them to go f .. ... and it will show them your not interested in their whining.
