Mahouts appeal for help as "unemployed elephants" on their last legs
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It is not just elephant camps. All over Thailand there are also rescue centres. These people try and rescue (buy - 40-50,000 baht) the elephants and then look after them. They too are struggling with there being zero tourists. However, donations to these centres do go to the elephants. I have been to the local one here and have donated and seen where the money goes. Just donate to ones in your local area. There will be one somewhere. https://samuielephanthaven.org/rescued-elephants/ -
Why herd immunity could be an impossible goal for Thailand
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Misleading number. Not 'considerable progress' at all. Some lucky bluggers have had 4 doses. Most have had none. One just cannot believe the numbers that this government quote. Then there are the doses 'wrongly' administered and the squeezing more doses per vial. -

It very much depends on the rules and regs of the management company. From the view of maintaining the 'beauty' and the value of the development - yes. In my limited experience, foreign run developments - what you suggest is true. Where the management is a local 'profit making' enterprise - less likely.

He has confessed to all allegations. (Earlier TV/AN report.) -
No it is a security failure. I understand that it is because the website certificate is now out of date. I am having a similar problem with the paper and some Thai government websites.

Video: Motorcyclists narrowly escape trouble after elephant charge
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A few similar tales on this thread. Mine was in Tanzania in the early 90's. Driving across the savannah and we were suddenly chased by a drunk bull elephant. (They eat some fruit from the tree and it ferments in their stomach.) The old jeep could just keep ahead of him until he ran out of steam. -

I have been told that the school is closing for 14 days. Not from Jeremy but from one of the teachers. Makes sense, if it is true, when looking at the numbers. -
Any recommendations for the best area to do the 7 day sandbox in?
Tropicalevo replied to scotinsiam's topic in Phuket
Not quite true, Samui has also authorised alcohol in restaurants. If you want lively - Phuket. If you want tranquil - Samui/KPN/Tao (better weather as well?) -

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

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