"He said the agency wants to introduce an identity card for expats, helping to distinguish them from tourists so they will be charged the same price as locals"

 

Don't overcomplicate it, just ask for passport if they must

 

 

Most of us have either a work permit or Thai driver's license.

More nonsense. It seems few government officials can read a research study. 

Read?

Well if I was aware I was getting in a lift with a bunch of covid infected people I would wear a good mask. Feel free to try the same experiment without one

...if I was aware I was getting in a lift with a bunch of covid infected people... I'd get off the lift.

So are bigotry and ignorance, Mr. Anutin.

Add stupidity to that list.

Because, ya know... prohibition of stuff you don't like has worked so well in the past.

Why isn’t Thailand being more consistent with its social distancing rules?......LOL, Thailand is ONLY consistent with Thai rules. 

Anything else, the rules don't apply. 

I think you mean that the Thai government is only consistent in being inconsistent.

Check your spam folder if you have not already. Last year I used an agent and then the online service successfully this time. It does seem to be hit and miss.

But personally I don't see the point of lunatic testing numbers.  If you aren't ill you aren't ill.  If you are you'll go and see the Doc and they'll put you in hospital if you need to be there.  (Well that's what always happened before the planet lost its collective marbles.)

BINGO! Since when before this crazy virus did any sane person wake up and say, "Hey, self... I feel pretty good today, I think I'll go get tested to see if I have the flu."? Before you get your panties all in a bunch, I understand that you may want to test yourself if you've been exposed and don't want to get granny who is living with you sick but this continual cry for more and more and more testing just to increase case numbers is lunacy. Fewer people are dying and fewer are in hospital relative to the number of actual cases. Those are the only important numbers now.

So...IF I had a million dollars... would the best place to invest it really be in a visa so I can work? Why would I work if I had a million dollars? Please point me to anyone who falls for this. I have great deal on a bridge I can sell. 

Hello? Freaking New Zealand about stopped all travel in or out and still had a ton of cases. Political hacks.

Where are the bikinis?

An encrypted database costs nothing. You just click the 'encrypt database' button when setting it up - if you can be bothered.....

You really have to protect your local network from the wider internet as well.

Sadly, few businesses or organizations of any size in Thailand take cyber security seriously.

Shushssss... don't tell anyone that more than 20 of the worlds richest tech billionaires never graduated college let alone have masters degrees.

Illegal gun ownership doesn't usually come with a health check.

How do you know the guy owned the gun illegally?

.03 % is within the natural variable. And even with this low percentage, it would be useful to know which of those unfortunate children had underlying factors.

Certainly the death of any child is a horror that no parent should endure and no caring parent would ever willing put their child at risk but 9 deaths out of about 10 million is very low.

He was lucky in way, could have been stabbed or shot. My wife goes ballistic if a I say or doing anything when driving, she is genuinely scared that some idiot will pull a gun.

I thought my wife was the only one.

Maybe if they wrote their ideas down first and read it back to themselves slowly. Nah... they'd still say it out loud. 

Will 1,000,000 rich Chinese come here to buy condos?
