Except this one is anti government. Prayut is suing her.

Strange. The thaienguirer had an article that had a very different article of the PM's view of this girl. She is anti-junta.

That may be true as long as the employee is up to date with Social Security payments. I have had an issue or two that were with the labour office and they have been fair, but I am dealing with Thai staff. I do not employ foreigners.

Thank you khunPer, I had not thought of them. I will check them out next time.

Thanks for that VocalNeil. Yes, I had considered it but when I spoke to a good friend who used to work for HP (printer section) she advised against it. It may cause problems for the printer. (May - not will.) As the printer has trundled on for probably 15 years or more, I decided not to risk it. It has outlived newer printers that I have bought and who knows, maybe one day I will install a phone line and use the fax function???

Thanks Neilly. That never came up in my searches on Lazada. Ordered and bookmarked. Let's see how quick they are.

Thanks - I use them as well. Really good guys. Closed last week and when I placed an order this morning, they came back very quickly stating that their suppliers were all out of stock. Always a good response from them. I buy screens and printers from them as well.

There was a topic on this back in the day but it seems to have gone. I am looking for printer ink. Specifically Canon 811 or 81 XL. Usual suspects no have. (PowerBuy, Big C etc) Invade IT no have. Lazada have some dodgy versions. ie no box or Chinese writing. (Not a fan of Shopee.) Any suggestions as to where I can buy the genuine article please?

Most on Koh Samui are still wearing masks. Everyone where I live and work are. Also true in all shops, offices etc etc. The maskless ones are mostly foreign tourists but they also mask up when going into shops. The bit that people are missing is the fact that many people in SE Asia were wearing masks before Covid. Pollution and traffic fumes being the main reason.

No - the parties have been happening for a while. Just no big song and dance about them. This was the first 'official' one. Nope. As at15 mentioned, on KPN most foreigners have been maskless for a while. Never masks at the previous FMP's. Probably why there is an increase in positive Covid cases after the FMP.

That sums up why the reported positive case numbers are rubbish. I know at least a dozen people who have had Covid - including myself. All self isolated for 10 days at home. It seems that the only ones admitting to being positive are those that need a 'fit to fly' certificate and Thais who want the free medicine and/or possible insurance claims.

With Songkhran and Easter being part of the same holiday week, it has been very busy here on Samui. 25 - 27 flights a day during the week and 31 flights today. Almost like pre-Covid? FMP was pretty jammed last night. Hopefully all arriving home safe and sound.

Opposition does not dictate which party. Just strange that these cases appear just prior to an election. A very effective way to removing an opponent.

Apologies - speedboats are overbooked. Not sure about ferries.

Big crowds heading to the FMP tonight. The ferries are overbooked and some people with bookings are being turned away.

Welcome back Rooster.

So very sad. RIP.

Plus the FBI will orgnise the regular, off-site back-ups.

Well done khun Pasakorn. ????

That is a bit like social media the world over. People will say and threaten to do really bad things to one. Things that most of them would never say to your face.

But the generals want Thailand to stay as it was back in the days. Keep the peasants downtrodden. Make the rich more rich. Syphon off billions in backhanders and blame everyone and everything else when it goes wrong. Any progressive leader wanting to move Thailand forward will just be removed and replaced by another military uprising.
