Of course not. Another ridiculous question.

Of course the crew is Thai. A lot of supporting cast and of course extras too. What a ridiculous question.

So you are saying Thailand hasn't enforced strict pandemic entry rules for the last 18 months? What on earth are you on about?

Really?? Cambodia that needs Covid tests prior to flying and on arrival (like Thailand), Cambodia that needs $50,000 Covid insurance (like Thailand) and Cambodia that still enforces quarantine. So why are you off to Cambodia when it has tougher rules than Thailand??

Ermmm..........ok.

Yep and with around 80,000 new cases and 1,500 deaths daily it's going pretty well isn't it.

Yep, it is not rocket science........except for the regulars on here.

Unbelievable negativity on here again. M Flow is going to replace cash and Easy Pass. There will be no gates. M Flow is gateless and works in the same way as Singapore's ERP and Dubai's Salik. I know nobody on TVF likes change or advances but you will not have the option to keep your Easy Pass, sorry.

Excellent news - I hope it works! Would make a huge difference if/when implemented across the network.

Seems like a grown up changed it back again.

And the award for most "old man" comment of 2021 goes to......

Ridiculous - you are just a typical old man making a typical old man comment. She is genuinely world famous (just not to grumpy old men on TVF). She was on the Jimmy Fallon show a few weeks back. Blackpink performed a sell out world tour before Covid, they played twice at Coachella. Their UK debut at Wembley Arena sold out in under three hours. To say she is unknown is plainly ridiculous. And yes, she is talented.

So what are you getting over charged for at 7-Eleven, Makro, Lotus?? Please tell me, prices in all of them seem pretty cheap, service is good. How are they ripping you off??

Weird, I thought you would punish her.

It's a Huracan.

I use Bangkok Dental Hospital. Not the cheapest but absolutely superb. http://www.dentalhospitalbangkok.com/

Oh this is getting tiresome. Do you want me to say Boris Johnson personally hugged everyone and Thailand has been butchering its people? Thailand closed borders early, introduced quarantine for those it did allow in to the country, took other costly measures to protect its people. It decimated the tourism industry but generally protected the people as evidenced by the generally low infection and death rates. Could they have done better? Absolutely! They were very slow to begin vaccinations. Anyway, believe as you will, I am just trying to make sensible posts whereas you think the UK is superior just because it is "first world" and Thailand is a disaster just because you are bitter with your life here or whatever your beef is with the country. Carry on!

Sigh. I never made a claim Thailand was donating anything to anyone, never claimed Thailand was doing anything other than trying to look after its own people. All I did was post a counter to an incorrect claim that the UK did everything better and was happily donating vaccines around the world to "third world countries" (hee hee, I called Thailand a third world country) when it is not true and the UK was charging "third world countries" (including Thailand, hee hee) for these "donations". That's it. I am British and the UK has done many good things but I am not totally blinkered and I do not need to constantly belittle Thailand, nor do I need to make things up. The UK made a horrible mess of Covid. If that is hard for you to deal with that's fine.

How can you take anyone seriously who can't read their own links. Donated at cost price. So these "third world countries" (you gave yourself a little kick again there) are paying for them. From the article posted: "Over half a billion doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine have been delivered at a non-profit price globally, with two-thirds going to lower- and middle-income countries. Or here: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-56117120 Boris Johnson: "There is no point in us vaccinating our individual populations - we've got to make sure the whole world is vaccinated because this is a global pandemic and it's no use one country being far ahead of another, we've got to move together." He said he wanted to "ensure that we distribute vaccines at cost around the world - make sure everybody gets the vaccines that they need so that the whole world can come through this pandemic together."

......and having a fraction of the death rate, yep, good for me.

I was talking about the US so not sure why you are comparing things to the UK. Anyway another one who gets a kick out of calling Thailand a third world country? The UK government made an absolute pigs ear of handling the pandemic which gave it one of the worst infection and death rates in the world. It tore through the country and the government did nothing, allowing people to come in without tests or checks for over a year after the pandemic started ripping through the country. Appalling mis-management that cost well over 100,000 lives. Thailand did much better closing borders, locking down and encouraging / enforcing mask wearing. For the best part of a year we were pretty normal here until the Delta variant came. Anyway Thailand was, and still is, safer. The UK did do well on vaccine roll out. The UK did not donate vaccines - they sold them. A donation is free. They just sold them without profit and called it a donation. That is not a donation. But yeah, the UK is a glorious first world nation with streets paved with gold and everyone having a great old time, keep believing!

I meant three quarters of a million deaths, but too late to edit.

Oh yeah, land of the free, no masks, you can do whatever you please, spread Covid to however many people you like. Only 700k cases and 12,000 deaths in the last week. Nearly a quarter of a million deaths in total. But at lease no "mask BS" hey? Yep, brilliant job - go USA!! I think Thailand handled it far better.

Yes, from Monday onwards.

Oh yes, those notoriously happy and welcoming UK border force, handing out best wishes and garlands to tourists who then go galloping off to the sunlit uplands.... Your hatred of Thailand seems to colour everything you see.
