Please stop trying to be logical. This IS Thailand. ????

Your comments are correct, except that I have less sympathy with someone who knowingly makes themselves sick by taking illegal drugs.

Hopefully, via email. The post here is good, but.......

RIP. Hopefully they will find his wife's body soon.

Which is more than one can say for the undemocratic government.

So - still 7 day quarantine in spite of what some reports say. On another subject - Burmese are still banned from coming to Samui. Family arrived last night - Burmese maid. She has had two vaccinations and a negative PCR test, yet she was still stopped from boarding the ferry at Donsak.

It is confusing and it changes daily. For Phuket - you must fly direct, Not via Bangkok. For Samui there is a 'quarantined' transfer route for a transfer to one of the three daily special Samui Plus flights. (No domestic passengers allowed.) There are also scheduled flights to Samui for domestic travellers. (No International passengers allowed unless they have quarantined in Bangkok first.) The passengers cannot mix and match.

There should be no surprise about this. All efforts have been focused on Bangkok plus a few other areas. Whereas the provinces that have little political 'clout' with the generals, have had very little effort, energy or resources sent to help them. That is where Thaksin showed his 'smarts'. Look after the little people - there are more of them. Ignore them at your peril.

Yes. Old news. In the first report they did not have time for the vinyl board and pointers.

So much for free speech and democracy.

RIP.

Well done to the young man.

But didn't he say that Bangkok would not flood this year? ????

Tops supermarket and Makro here on Samui both sell fresh and frozen lamb. Same elsewhere? Maybe try hotel food suppliers in your area?

It is just another broken promise in a long list of broken promises. Generals, your pants are on fire.

Well done sir. It is a shame that the government is not so caring for its people.

Rubbish. Stop following the script and open your eyes. COE Cost of tests Fear of quarantine Cost of Hotels (Samui) No entertainment No drinking alcohol Tourist areas are dead Oh - nearly forgot. Thailand is on the red list in many countries and so 10 days - 14 days quarantine on returning home.

And in December it will be delayed until next year...... The old cronies just cannot bring themselves to join the 20th Century. Never mind the 21st!

I suspect that is why the governor is doing this. Expect to see a few more 'Phuket weekenders'.

"mostly for political reasons rather than numbers " You could always sign this petition. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/594456

It is not only the lack of 'clarity' of the numbers, but also the watering down of the vaccinations. Thailand cannot be trusted to give the recommended doses of the recommended vaccines. Then there is the issue of the Thai AZ vaccine. Same formula but they have changed one (or two?) of the ingredients. Thailand - hub of fakes. (Watches, handbags, T shirts and ?vaccines?)

Prayut lies again but it will be forgotten by tomorrow. The list of lies is too long to remember. ????

How far back do you want to go with the 10 bob note? (And a couple of quid for good measure.)

Sign this petition. It is a start. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/594456

We used to have this problem on Samui back when Noah was a lad. OK maybe 15 years ago. All rental cars then had to have stickers on the windscreen. When they roll up at the ferry terminal, if there is a sticker, then they ask for the letter from the rental company before you are allowed on the ferry. I do not know if that is still in place, but it stopped the thefts.
