no, wearing mask on motorbike is not compulsory. It's outright dangerous to do so, drivers lost their lives when mask moved into their eyes, blinding them.

You were stopped for speeding, not wearing helmet, braking road rules, but not for mask.

I put my mask below my nose when at speed for precisely this reason (pottering around town it stays where it should).  Yes, I'm not wearing it correctly.  Yes, I could be stopped.  I'll risk that rather than possibly impede my vision.

Any reason the owner shouldn't recover money for damage caused by the renter?

The OP was about insurance, I was pointing out that it doesn't work that way here.

"The Mayor did not, TPN notes, give a specific timeframe or window for when residents could expect the work to continue, citing the difficult bidding process."

Sorry, what bidding process, contracts were signed for this work.  Just hold the contractors to them.

Most, it not all, bike rentals bear their own risks.  They try to recover money from the renter if there's damage.  If that doesn't work for you, don't rent.

Sorry, but that's how it is,

Prices drop, minor really, compared to the impact the horde will have.  Those coming on planes were bad enough, the numbers on trains will dwarf that.  Once their masters allow them to travel of course.

Sand on the road is a danger to motorbikes. Those who laugh at this don't ride motorbikes. On the small sois in my area extreme caution is needed on the curves to avoid sliding.

Yes, so you slow down where there might be sand.  Well, you and I do, slowing down isn't very Thai though.

Well, appealing to the stomachs is always an option here.  Even those who don't care about politics like to eat.

They can call it Jeremy if they like, but the definitions of Pandemic and Epidemic are international.  They can't just say "this is xxx" and make that stick.  

Fallangs too; I've only been to a local restaurant once this year (after Covid hospital) and the stories are silly.  Many seem to have been sick, or failed a test, but very few did any form of isolation - and they don't seem bothered at all about that.

"has been charged with reckless driving, refusing to submit to a breathalyser test, and failing to stop to help a damaged party."

Don't you know who I am?

"If desired, the judge can also lodge an appeal against the court’s ruling."

It's not over yet. 

He would do himself more good if he just admitted it and took his punishment.

Unfortunately, they can call it anything they want, but the definitions of pandemic and endemic aren't subject to local interpretation.  They are quite clear and internationally known.

Hopefully, it won't matter anyway, I'm still hoping that Omicron is The End.

Unbelievable to me that people go to these testing centers.  Even see many Falang in Treetown. I guess because they are free?  Really, people are that cheap?

They list the potential ruin your life options if positive, sounds like a nightmare.  

I bought a number of tests and have been testing daily.  If positive, I will just stay in my room. 

 

 

 

Yup, avoid like the (other) plague.  To many bad possibilities.  If in doubt, do a test yourself and isolate at home if need be.

I would have thought that an actual working garage would be more concerned over the premises and especially tools.  No place, no tools, no income.

Just go out earlier and home earlier.  It isn't rocket science.

However, pork farmers will scream!

I doubt if the pigs are too happy either.    Bad planning for them being so delicious.  ????

And the horizontal workers?  Do they get help too?

Are the test kits available in those numbers?

I have a friend in really bad shape he cannot get out of bed his throat is so sore he cannot even talk.

So, 70% are still Delta anyone who lets down their guard now is an idiot.  

Get him to hospital, when it gets that bad, he needs care.  If it settles on the lungs, that's when it gets dangerous - I got out a week back and I'm just finishing my steroids today.  They definitely helped - though I can still feel it when I breathe deeply - the air pollution isn't helping with that either!

What test do you take to confirm that after you HAD Covid you are safe to move around?

I was in hospital, they cleared me and gave me papers, didn't ask the test, but it was blood, not nose.
