  1. Does not matter whatever you think . Fact is : covid will never go away . It is here to stay , and at 1 point all is going to be infected , and that is even multiple times. 2nd fact : non vaccinated have much more chance of being severely sick or dying from it then non-vaccinated . That doesn't mean a vaccinated person cannot die from covid or get severy sick, only chances are a lot smaller . 3th fact : children are less likely to get sick , and they aren't vaccinated ... true . Childrens immune system is very strong , unless you are a child , this does not work for you . 4th fact : as long as the hospitals are under pressure , extra rules will be implied in 1 way or another. Since you seen previous facts , only way out is vaccination . 5th fact : extra rules will going to get harder and harder on non-vaccinated , since they are most likely to end up in hospital . Since billions of vaccines are given , what is stopping you to do the same ? Even if you believe it doesn't work , although the facts are against you . And then i hear it coming , but many beds now in hospital are from vaccinated people . True , but if you are talking about a country with 70-80-90% vaccinated theres a lot more people of them around then of the non vaccinated . So thinking , 50% of the people in hospital are vaccinated , actually means it works very good , lots more are probably infected .Take 1 mill people 75% vaccinated , thats 750k vaccinated vs 250k not vaccinated -> 1000 cases in hospital , 50-50 vacc vs non vacc . means out of the group of 750.000 there are 500 people in hospital while in the group of 250.000 there are also 500 people in hospital . If everybody is vaccinated , then all people in hospital will be vaccinated people , it doesn't mean it doesn't work .
  2. A smart vs non smart , i choose a non smart every single day . That doesn't mean you can't make the tv smart . Many times the upgrades might become a problem after a while , and your smart tv is suddenly stupid tv . For the same price , ok , otherwise i choose a android box or computer , for putting on the VPN and all bells and whistles , while the tv can focus on what he has to do , meaning play tv .
  3. Yep , same guess . If it is there , silicone around the drain , and regrouting , and check for loose tiles .
  4. As far as i remember 16k/sqm fully finished is not a bad price , all work included .
  5. And then fix all gaps , centipedes do not like to stay in the open . They like to stay under stones ( a tile...) , leaves , cracks ( regrouting tiles?) . If it is a lacking U-trap , there are ways to fix it , but 1st check where the problem comes from . My personal guess , tiles are laid in cement bed , leaving openings underneath , the perfect spot for centipedes , possibly even with a connection to outside ( next to the drainage pipe from toilet or from shower ) . When it rains , the ground gets wet , forcing the centipedes to come up and also leaving a bad small from standing small pools of water under the affected tiles .
  6. TBH i not read the complete topic i only mention my experience . After a few months or 1y + i don't remember , i feel naked here without it when in public . I do now have to do it and i have gone to local shop here without ( not Thailand ) but tbh , i rather now keep my mask . I do understand and know they are a hassle and not comfy , but i feel better with it then without . I must mention i never to happy to be in crowds , or too touchy behavior to begin with . I keep my mask , when in busier places , even when they aren't needed , i like the more shutoff feeling it brings ...
  7. 1st shot , painful arm , 1st day worst after getting slowly better but noticeble to touch within 1 week . 2nd shot , very painful arm 1 day , gone 100% after .
  8. Hydrogen power is atm irrelevant , since it does look more easy then it actually is . In order for hydrogen to be competitive , you need fuelcells . Combustion of hydrogen does work , but hydrogen is very light and combustion engines are very bad in hp/fuel consumption . Fuelcells are mighty expensive , there is research on it to make them cheaper but most ( if not all ) fuelcells require the exotic platinum ... and you see where it goes...
  9. China makes everything , from cheapest <deleted> to highest quality , and everything in the middle . If you think MG is too mediocre for you try Polestar , yes thats Chinese made . Even Tesla is manufacturing cars in China . "western developed" countries decided that manufacturing is nothing for them , and let all companies go to China , which China gladly accepted . Do not complain after , since all countries did it . They wanted to school people for sitting behind the desk , instead of having quality technical persons . In some countries now they are the highest paid jobs already since many people don't even know how to change lightbulbs anymore . China does have huge resources , and just does make everything , and that means yes from supercheap <deleted> which lasts 1 day if you are lucky , to highest end stuff , but you will pay for that also .
  10. Yes , since nobody would be on the road anymore . Remember they deliver also fuel for your car/motorbike , gasbottles for your cooking , food products all kinds , clothes .... ... ... It doesn't mean it is right or wrong that they would strike, i not go there , but saying it would be better since the roads are safer is a stupid remark .
  11. True if you do it for green stuff , but electric cars far outperform combustion . That is a basic fact , you got better engines , in case of service life , power , power/weight , torque .... electric engines are soo much better no need to question that . Power plants , thats the country or companies , you cant choose it .
  12. There isnt only Tesla , Polestar 2 claims warranty of 8y and 160.000km ( equals your 100K miles ) , Hyundai Ioniq 5 same warranty 8y/160000km . No need to believe Musk , there's plenty of other electric cars now around ( more and more each single day as we speak) , and rapidly evolving technology .
  13. Gold will keep its value , even if there is no more electric power on this world . Remember 1st things shut down by governments in case of war is shutting down electric and internet . Yes , BTC is worth now 60k or 70k , but can be 10$ tomorrow or 200k $ . BTC is like a piece of art , basically 100% worthless , but if somebody wants it then a price is made . More people want it , it goes up , less it goes down . Difference with gold is , that it is always existant , no matter what happens . It can go down in value , and can go up , but it is very stable and can be used in all times , no matter where you are . BTC is gambling , prob there are much better gambling electronic numbers around , like the shiba inu number which was mentioned by a famous person and went up 28 million % in less then a year ( yes you read that correct 1000$ last year now brings you 28 million $ ) . In terms of investment , rather have gold , wanna gamble buy BTC ( or Chinese porcelain , or a painting from a unknown painter ...) .
  14. As far as i know the ingredients in e-liquid is propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine , together with possible nicotine ( not needed ) , and some taste liquids , which can be made out of several substances . Glucosamine is a solid and might be some component in some of the aroma's , but it will certainly be not in all of them and the concentration of the aromas is low .
  15. Is it ironic , yes , but you have to look at it different . You cannot change the electric from grid . Unless you building some kind of power plant yourself , then you are up to the government or company to change that . You can make electric at home with solar panels , providing your own use . Electric cars , the engine is way better then a combustion engine . That is a simple fact , and nobody can't deny that . It is more reliable , more silent , smaller , "unlimited" power , ... . Batteries are a issue but they are working on it , improving year after year , and this won't stop any time soon . Soon electric cars will be the standard , and others will die of slowly . Talking about the enviroment , a combustion car cannot be greener , electric from the grid can be green even if it isn't today . Remember we are in a changing era . 10y ago a electric car was non existent , right now in some countries they have already taken over the market . Im sure my next car will be electric .
  16. It's not about vaccination , many of the countries on the list aren't the in the top vaccinated list . It's not about amount of cases in the countries , many of the countries on the list do not have low numbers . It's about money and most travellers to Thailand, together with some unknown other thing ( i'd say prob some political pressure from 1 of the members , might be from Thai side or from country on the list side , idk ) . Canada is not the country which have many people visiting Thailand , most Thais prob doesn't even know it is a country . You are not alone in this case , many other countries face the same issue . I'd say , relax , keep on reading the news , and you never know what rule and what country they take out of their sleeve . Might be there tomorrow or not , or next month or not , might be there now and gone by tomorrow .... nobody knows .
  17. He can say or dream what he wants . If Thailand gets visitors back , and there will be some day , then the public will decide . Again demand and supply ... they not going to close all bars , even if they close all nighttime venues , there will be places where you can drink and enjoy some music and company will be there . It is a "normal" activity in Thailand , and selling for money is very very widespread and accepted among the society . Unless they keep all bars and massage and karaokes closed , there will be drinking , there will be some kind of paid entertainment and there will be a "nightlife" like before , even if it might be in earlier hours . This might not be right now , but tourists are wanted , the money is wanted , and supply is plenty of all kinds ( alcohol , cheap hotels , all kinds of people ... you name it ).
  18. None of the above , but in that choice i would choose Chang , Archa and Leo , depending on my mood . In order of any kind of normal beers , i am totally not picky and i choose whatever is there and my mood at the moment .
  19. And who stays on the list ... UK , USA, Germany ... like i said , the big countries . The countries with many visitors to Thailand . The others were actually just for show anyway . Not mention however that many things will still be closed , and not a word on how it is gonna be in place . COE with limit to insurance/vaccination/tracking/testing?
  20. I'm from Belgium too . What do you see from the countries on the list , Countries not with most vaccinated ( Top vaccinated countries in the world aren't on it ) . Countries not with the lowest infection rates ( same are but most are not ) . Which are on the list : Big countries , the ones with high number of people travel to Thailand , like UK , France Germany . Small countries with no travellers to Thailand , only there for show ... like Dominica , Luxembourg , San Marino Medium countries but also with almost no visitors , and in fact low vaccination rate and actually high infection numbers . Croatia , Slovenia , ... That leaves smaller countries , like Portugal , Belgium ... , but high vaccination numbers completely forgotten . The opening is for money , not for getting tourism . Both look the same but actually are not . They want to get people back : so they give the free entrance to highest visiting countries , and to a few of the supposed to be wealthy population countries . And to top it up , they just named a few totally unknown (for them) countries , just to advertise that they are open for 27 countries . They might as well also say that moon habitants are welcome without quarantine and also the other visitors from 38 billion solar systems , but that would be a bit too obvious . No worries , i'm pretty sure , Belgium and many others will make it on the list for the month after or at latest the January list .
  21. TBH if testing is a dealbreaker , then say goodbye to travel for the next few years . I mean , testing will be by far the longest around . I think this is a non issue for most people and the very least of my concern . If testing and vaccination is the things needed , why bother , i'd say that is as good as it gets . Might not be perfect , but the times aren't perfect .
  22. Well , what do you think looking at the countries on the list ? For me it appears to be the big countries , and the others are only names but practically means nothing more ( i mean how many people from Luxembourg or Latvia will visit Thailand in a year ?) . There are a few logic names on the list but many on that list should not be there . No worries however , since i guess next list will be 1 month after and again for January , which would certainly include the countries which do have very high vaccination numbers . Can just see how it goes , and maybe if i'm lucky i can go somewhere in Jan .
  23. Most radioactive things do NOT glow in the dark . 1 of the many many fake things around . Idc what you believe in , but i am 100% sure there are no radioactive components whatsoever in any kind of vaccine , not for covid , not for polio , not for flu , not for any of them . Fake info spread by "influencers" who do not know anything at all but do like to have many followers so they can have your money .
  24. Many Rolex are fake , yes . Rolex is overpriced , yes their movement isn't special , yes . I can't dispute on any of those quotes and i am not a Rolex lover myself . However , on other points , no other watch ( well there are a few , but not the same well known name ) , does get the peoples heads turning and sell for much more then original pricing . I do make a profit on my originally bought Omega watch , but watching the prices on Rolex from the same date im like "WHAT" . It s just a fact that most Rolex go up in value quite fast while others are or going down , or stable or go up but in a steady flow while Rolex goes up a lot . And while there are good copies around , a original is worth so much more , and i do not mean only the resale value but also the value you give it . Anybody owning a original watch in Asia knows what im talking about . And it is not what others think i wear , but it is knowing what im wearing . Rolex is overpriced , yes , 100% , but i do not make the price , it is the people buying who do make that .
  25. There is more then tourism , and Thailand isn't alone . At the moment we are seeing booming gas and electric prices in Europe , triggering inflation . Shortages of chips and all kind of good due to disrupted chains . A huge Chinese company is only alive on a silk thin wire ( im pretty sure Thailand will be hit massive if that company fails ) . There are many things happening all over the world , the hit tourism sector is 1 of them .
