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.

Very misleading photo for the rules as stated in the article.

I thought that everyone on KPN rolled Mr Anutin's 'go to' product. ???? (Apologies. I could not resist that one. I'll fetch my coat!)

RIP ladies.

Please start with the Generals.

I doubt it. Venus is never that clear from where I live and I have zero light pollution. Difficult to tell it from a star with the naked eye. Looks more like the moon.

A number of reasons. Immigrants are cheaper and easier to control. (Live in camps.) There are strong labour laws to protect Thai workers. There is a minimum wage for Thais. Not so for immigrants (or if there is, very few people stick to it). When I built my house more than 20 years ago, all of the construction workers were from Issan. Same for other builders around me. When the government put the minimum wage up to 300 baht per day, suddenly all of the construction workers were from Burma.

Nice one mum.

The beer was probably past its sell by date anyway. ????

Not all foreigners khun Neeranam. Just some. 22 years living here and I have had to involve the police in a number of cases from murder to petty theft and lost property. Never a problem. Always a good result.

Thailand - hub of acronyms.

Covid cases are already peaking. Your current measures are not working Uncle Tu, so why bother with new ones that also will not work?

The wires are usually internet cables. How would you feel if your internet went down on a regular basis.

And if you go to the beaches on the north and possibly the west coast? Seas as flat as a pancake. Every day I see the beaches at Choengmon, Tongsai Bay, Samrong Bay, Plai Laem beach, Bangrak, Fisherman's village and Maenam. The last couple of days, no rough seas. Six months of the year - rougher weather from the east. The other six months, rougher weather from the west. It is not rocket science folks - it is living in the tropics. Mind you - no sharks. Unlike some of the world's famous beaches. RIP khun Jakkraphan.

There is no flight monopoly. Pre Covid, about half a dozen different airlines were flying direct to Samui. This has been the case on and off for about 15 years. Because of Covid and other restrictions, those airlines are currently not flying until demand increases.
