Thailand: We have to open up the country to tourism to save the economy, but we need more vaccines. US: We will give you free vaccine. Thailand: We will get back to you....

turns out that they are not all that keen on tourists returning after all they seem to be having a hard time understanding what drew tourists to thailand before as long as they keep those things unavailable, the tourists wont be keen on thailand

praise the Lord, and hit that ignore button...

they have been busting these "parties" and taking in the supposed miscreants for a long time. is there any actual evidence based on the testing of these people that covid is actually being spread in these situations? or is it still just a "the sun moves across the sky, so it must be revolving around the earth" intuitive without any real facts type of hypothesis?

why are you making it an either/or do a crime, make restitution to the victim to "set things right" thai style and go to prison as the punishment for the bad deed

maybe just start with the the police not committing crimes anymore I think cops committing crimes is why people want them off the streets and watching CCTV, AI, and responding to informants. anything that decreases the direct interaction thai people have with their police force has to be seen as an upgrade

sorry, I forgot to add that I am coming from siam bts station

"Yutthasak said he was largely unconcerned by the delay" of course he isnt, he is a billionaire and isnt affected by the lack of tourists. and who cares about the effect that this ever-changing "opening" date has on tourist who might want to make plans ahead of time to come here. I'd like to make a trip back to the US for the holidays, but cant make any plans due to the lack of a firm date that wouldnt require a lengthy isolation stay on my return or going to phuket to leave for a round trip back there to use the sandbox entrance

unfortunately, I missed my last 90-day report deadline, so i have to go do it in person at MTT before I do my visa extension at CW. what would be the best BTS/MRT station to get the shortest taxi ride to MTT? Also, how early should I get there to not be stuck waiting for too long? or is later better to not get stuck in a long queue? thanks for your helpful responses

"If the government’s economic stimulus measures can draw a million foreign experts and those of high economic potential to the country in five years" considering the historical volatility in thailand, especially regarding immigration/visa regulations, corruption, and lack of actual rule of law, why would someone who is an expert on something/high economic potential want to live here? I would think that someone like that would be heading to singapore, if anywhere in SEA

so december it is!!!

adequate mean that he and all family/friends have been vaxxed

I have lost track of the tens of millions upon tens of millions of vaccines doses that the government has announced that they have procured, or will be here by years end. based on this, how can there be a need to do any stretching of supplies?

"The government now anticipates this year’s annual per-capita income to be 232,024 baht, appreciably higher than last year’s figure of 225,845.7 baht, and a reflection of ongoing economic recovery. " that comes out to an approximately 520 baht per month/130 B per week increase thats barely noticeable, let alone appreciable...

This new law will have the same effect as the laws against government corruption

using his past performance as a barometer of future expectations, this indicates that thailand is on the edge of a disaster

Outside of tourism and a few exports, thailand is a penny ante' player internationally. The only reason thailand isnt a myanmar level country is due to its good location for the US during the vietnam war.

He will be spending his time groveling for more vaccine doses, no doubt

thanks for not calling me a hater...555

in living here for 12 years, it it more common to see a decent looking farang guy with a thai girl that is less, and often much less, good looking than him. In contrast, I often see hot thai girls with thai guys that make me think he must be rich for her to be with that fugly dude. I think it is because when a lot of guys get here, they dont realize the quality of girls he can get here in comparison with back at home, so he starts off with an ok or less looking girl as a starter GF. then, because she takes very good care of him, he never gets around to trading up. And due to the relative lack of thai men compared with the number of women, thai girls will accept a guy that isnt so good looking. I knew a girl who used to tell me about her friends' complaining about bad behavior from the BFs', but wouldnt dump them because they were afraid that they wouldnt be able to find a new guy

it happened when the liberals redefined disagreeing/criticism as "hate"

I heard that the thai buddhist monk research division will soon be releasing the results of their secret covid-amulet phase I trial soon

what the thais are calling open isnt what you you would mean by open, it is open with many hoops to jump through and restrictions on movment

This is all so thai... in their zeal to be able to sit at the adult table they are instituting policies the industrialized countries are in the midst of doing, without recognizing that these countries are doing these show proof of vaxx to overcome the vaccine hesitancy of many people. here, no one is avoiding getting vaxxed, they dont have the opportunity to do so. so they are screwing the people twice about vaccines, first they dont provide them, then when they say without it you cant do X,Y,Z...
