As a non-medical person, my take is that everyone will be infected. 

The vast majority won't even notice.

The vaccinated who get sick won't get very sick.

The unvaccinated who get sick could be a lot sicker, possibly hospitalised, possibly die.

I understand. I don’t ask to do a 90 Day report when I do my extension. The Immigration Officer does this automatically for me. This resets the clock for my next 90 Day report. My wife and I have both had this done by different Immigration Officers for the last 6 annual extensions. 
I see this as a good thing and is helpful as it pushed out the date when I next have to do my 90 Day report. 

NO.

The two are separate.  Doing your extension does NOT reset the 90 day clock.  90 day is due 90 days after the last one, no matter what interactions you've had with immigration in the meantime.  Trust me on this, I got caught out the same way when I did my first extension a few years back.  They will staple a piece of paper in your passport with the new date, that's the one to use.

Someone said "Taxes are the price we pay for civilized society.".

I thought Buddhists didn't have gods?

Especially if u life here and travel In and out once a month in normal times.... no <deleted> way I pay that every time I enter Thailand

Remember the ฿500 departure tax?  People hated paying that too.  Then it was incorporated into the fares and collected from the transport companies.  And never heard of again.  We still pay it, we just don't see it as a separate item to object to.  This could go the same way.

Is this one of those "never seen before by science" cases where the locals have been using it for centuries?

Shower?  Well, I stand under the water for a bit.  After, more of a "proper" shower to get the chemicals off.

In the UK I used Sure for years, used to bring stock on my visits home until Covid stopped those.  Couldn't get it here and tried a few others that I didn't like.  Then by accident found that, outside the UK, Sure is called Rexona.  Same thing, even same label, with a different name on it.  Happy now.

Oh, and I get it through Lazada, haven't seen it locally.

Soapies?

Mine will get nothing as I wasn't married when I retired and didn't take the lower "in case you get married" pension.

No links, think you might have to buy on amazon UK or somethinglike that.

 

But what i read is that the only thing an US keyboard does not have is a pound symbol. So unless you use that a lot I don't understand why one would want an UK keyboard (maybe because you are used to it). Also if you buy a gaming keyboard you can assign a pound symbal to any key you want. (depending on what gaming keyboard).

 

I had some problems that i needed a Dutch keyboard (. and ,) were switched so i just let the game keyboard put a , when i pressed the . key. Problem solved. 

The £ and € are missing, also the " and @ are swapped.

That early release would be obvious and sensible.  In most countries.  Here, they'll take so long deciding on it that the full 14 days will be up before they do. 

Settle down, you're not going anywhere.  Sorry.

At least they were for collectors, not lunch.  Still bad, but not as bad.

The late King Rama IX was wise enough to set up the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation in 1955 for his people.  Does it have any expertise in stopping rain as well?  I can't see it on their website, but I can only read the English bits.  

Hijacking a little, sorry.

So far, every link is to a US format keyboard.  Does anyone have a link to one with UK English format?

Do people actually pay for online porn?  Seems that a quick search brings up nudes (and more) of half the women in the world.  You name it, it's out there, free.  Or so I'm told anyway.  ????

I use https://www.gtvhd.shop/index.html  Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for, full UK TV package, with 7-day catch up on most channels.

The box is important too, I went through a few cheap ones, then bought a Nvidia Shield Pro, expensive, but SO worth it.

Tomorrows announcement.....The minister of ......... says that foreigners entering Thailand should quarantine. 

Is that all foreigners, or just dirty foreigners?

Not a tourist, I live here.  For me, this won't be over until I can walk into a bar, or have a drink with a meal from a bottle, not a coffee mug.  Minor wants in the great scheme of things, but important to me and a lot of others.

It's a generational thing as much as a Thai thing.  I was taught that most things are fixable and how to use tools.  The next generation was taught to just get a new one.
