From December 8th , the government of Singapore has announced that citizens who are un-vaccinated by choice will not be covered by national health insurance and will be obliged to pay for any covid-related hospital and health expenses. This sounds like a good solution for those who value free choice over the stressed health system....

the first draft of the logo was.....

"her role as an example and inspiration for youth" get a Farang (Step)Father, then leave Thailand as soon as you can to have a successful life in another country.......

Thailand is getting ready to register as Third World / Banana Rep... Kingdom

It must be because the tourism industry is only 10% / 20% / 30% (select as appropriate) of Thai GDP.........

from the OP: - "If foreigners have been vaccinated six months ago they will have to take a 100 baht swab test and wait."

amazing how that gas bottle survived the fire......

2 Pangolins, a tiger penis and a bucket of shark fins, please..... no bats this time.....

a Thai Smile, naturally......

they will be useful to clean the deck of the Thai aircraft carrier......

The UK is the whore of the world. Sell anything to anyone, and not ask too many questions.... Money laundering? no no sir..... not us.... Ah the nostalgic days when Thai billionaires bought English football clubs.............

"the first of which is making COVID-19 vaccines and medicines public goods." I wonder if he cleared this with the owner of Siam Biosciences?? Could be a substantial drop in profits for SB.

not a problem.... the HiSo can still send their kids overseas for school. The Middle Class can still avail themselves of the 100+ International Schools in Thailand. The Kwai can still choose their careers at age 12 - noodle seller, taxi driver, "waitress" , and the Siamese system continues..... job done.

I wonder how many "overflights" are being detected in Afghanistan these days....

at least he never lies......LOL

How many murder victims have you heard filing charges after the event?

until it disappears under the waves.......

surely you are aware of Thai mathematics.? You are contradicting yourself here.

Are the billions from the sex industry included in or added to the government estimates (various) of the percentage of Thai GDP ?? I realize that the sex industry catering for Thais hugely overshadows the one which caters for overseas tourists.....

The UK has a good reputation for high class government tolerated money laundering. It is a world leader.

"As one gets up in years, having helpers becomes essential. My maid comes in once a week, .......I’ve had good success finding maids and a cook – part-time........ In a low-trust culture, finding trust-worthy helpers is not easy." It may be a cliche, but in Asia it is not impossible to find a mature live-in lady who will greatly facilitate daily chores including exercise physical and mental wellbeing. This does not equate to visiting bars and massage parlors but does assume that the senior expat is financially comfortable and the groundrules of the relationship are clearly defined. Such an arrangement would cost millions in the western world, but mutually beneficial in the asian world.

"flocking to embrace the cool breezes and the beautiful sunrises" lucky there is no crop-burning smog season...........

"had been trying for years to persuade Thailand to buy power from dams built by the one-party communist state "

no - the first-timers will not usually be forewarned about the Land of Scams, so theoretically easier to fleece. However this logic does not really apply to Indians, does it......?
