Was definitely a very sad time, the greedy thieving bastards from Bangkok reached new lows.

Not to mention the greedy bastards who bought up all the beaches in Kao Lak and created eyesores for profit.

Yes, I forgot about it due to covid and other things. Ashamed, really.

I still hear from some of the people  that I met and helped and those are the only good memories about that time that I have left.

As long as it's true that UK kept 2/3 of the fish and we are not held to EU laws, I am ok with it.

What they released in December (some say as early as September 2019), was an act of war. The world should have reacted forcefully.

Now we know, the next WW will be biological.

I could care less if he can pardon himself; he can't. He will be in so much legal trouble with these "favors for pardons" that a new prison will be named after him.

God, Jan 20th. please come fast!

And faster through the coconut telegraph!

Dead and it will get "deadder". (I know, bad grammar).

While it is nice to not see Chinese spitting everywhere and pushing you to get to the front of a line, there is hunger locally and now with the xenophobic attitudes towards the Burmese, it ain't a pretty place to be.

Traffic better but surly faces, many not wearing masks and prices are up.

Too late, one reported case in Phuket today already.

2 cases. Not a truck driver, as far as I know. It is a big bike rider who traveled around the South and stopped for lunch in Surat, Pang Nga and Koh Lanta, then crossed into Phuket with friends. Stayed at Andaman Lanta Resort (Dec 10.) 11-12 had activity with a 40 people group, no masks, drinking and singing. Sat with people from Samut Sakhon (where the first outbreak was reported).

He owns a big bike shop in Ko Kaew (according to the wife - Automobile Hat Yai is the name of the shop). More info as the Coconut Telegraph updates me.

Came back with family of 5 on the 13th. at 7pm and went to a restaurant called Super Beef near Rassada area. On 14th., went back to work. On 17th. symptoms showed up. 18th. coughing and headache, sore throat and stayed home. Did not get tested. 

HE WENT TO WORK for 2 hours and went home.

On 20th. he was contacted by friends at Samut S. that they had covid.

On 21st. Wachira confirmed covid.

The timeline given is super long. 

Too late.

This parent(s) have a child in Phuket Vitt (across from Satree). That school is also NOW CLOSED.

Only experienced the incompetence of the iStore folk. The one you mentioned is a true Apple store, not a sub. Nice to know, however.

Corrected. P3 student's parents, not kindergarten. They keep updating. Don't shoot the messenger.

And so it begins, again. There goes my trip on Monday.

Sorry, only in Thai.

Just received two notices that the parents tested positive, but will retest, for parents of a kindergartner at this school (across from King Power / Dibuk Hospital), NOT the Kathu school.

If you have kids there, they have closed the school for the rest of the day and rest of this week.

Ideas went away as soon as I read "reasonable".  Personally, we are bypassing this feast. Covid finances hit us hard. 

Best of luck and happy holidays (to all).

Has anyone installed one from a Phuket-based tech? If so, where and how much?
