So T.A.T. staff are going to work???? from home, they might as well be at home, because when they go to the office, they just come up with fantastic figures for the number of tourists who are not coming.

Agree, it's the most common way in many villages to have a community funeral fund, wife pays 30 baht per death, but was 40 baht before her father died. Now there are 3 adults covered. Don't need to tell you foreigners are not covered ????

 

The fund paid her brother 20k but he spent double that. Up to him.

 

I've seen many funerals here mostly at the deceased's houses, but never attended one until her father died. I used to think all those erecting of the tents, tables and cooking were all voluntary but no way. I was surprised and shocked to see 5 so-called mates of her brother each ask for 100 Baht to help with the preparations. With the exception of 2 friends everyone expects to get paid.

Foreigners are not covered?

I am covered in our village, every time somebody dies i pay fifty baht, when i go my wife will get 20.000 baht.

I would run that by the wife very carefully as Thailand is not exactly user friendly for such if MIL has not been a cycle driver.  That said expect they could be safely used within housing areas.  In city perhaps taxi money would be a better option.  If not in an upscale area it could also make her a target for theft.  

I use my mobility scooter out and about, i would be totally lost without it.

Target for theft, i think you are getting carried away with that comment.

Used mine now for over five years, never had a problem with anybody trying to steal from me.

I have dropped things, cannot get off to pick them up, always somebody passing would stop help me, never  a problem, been stuck on the rough track going to big C, several times people have stopped to help push me out, most times young people have been the ones to help.

Thomas 0017, next time you have trouble sleeping open Thai visa, read some of the threads guaranteed  to put you to sleep,???????????????????? works for me.

This is a disgusting/ cruel way for the authorities here to cut the over burdened prison numbers.

They say they are isolating prisoners, where are they being isolated? Not in any Thai prison, as there are no places to isolate anyone.

You seem confused.

 

The Doomsayers were predicting exponential growth in new infections. Instead, we have a flat line, outside of the prisons. 

Only person confused is you.

Scouse 123 please explain how chubby chops will be able to sell watches, he cannot sell them, as he only borrowed them from a dead friend.

An upbeat PM responded by saying "Happy Happy" in English and doing his gestures.

Happy happy, he is the only 1 who is happy, how the hell can he be happy with the GIANT mess he has created with his dithering.

establishment protest leader Panusaya “Rung” Sithijirawattanakul did not contract COVID-19 in detention, after the 22-year-old announced her infection yesterday

Pathetic isnt it, the corrections department having to lie about this. But hey this is Thailand, nobody ever takes responsibility for anything here.

She probably caught the virus from some of the many thousands in prison here with the virus.

received donations from the private sector

Bet that made his day, now he can pay his six thousand baht fine for not wearing his mask.

Hopefully donations from private sector will get to where it should go, and not pocketed.

Could they make me less sexy to the average thaivisa poster?

Why would you want to be less sexy?

If your sexy girl flaunt it, your avatar shows a beautiful sexy lady, that is what is drawing male members to your profile.

Sick thats what it is sick, just unbelievable, a temple making money out of a dead monk.

What about Buddist principles?

They dont care about principles, just making money.????

In addition with people more at home doing cooking fridges were packed with food making them need more electricity to keep it all cool

What he is saying is the complete opposite of what i have been lead to believe over the years, keep fridge /freezer as full as possible to conserve electric.

So in my opinion Phansa is talking nonsense.

Ohh Prayut you are such a wonderful kind caring/ giving person, the peasants are sure to love you.????

Everything he does is just to boost his ego, cause he dont give a rats backside about the rank and file people here.

Parliamentarians are expected to debate the first reading of the bill between May 31 and June 2, he said.

What is the point of that? Debate all they want, will not make any difference, as 1 man decides whats going to happen, and takes no notice of anybody else. 

So Prayut has finally woken up, he should have made vaccination a top priority several months ago, but hey too brain dead for that.

Comical isnt it, most posters on here spend a lot of their time having a go at British people, yet here it is an American idiot.????

Somebody should remind him where he is, not home in the land of the free.????
