  1. It's backkkkkk. Well is was pleasant enough in February. Now were back to three months of burning Hell.
  2. Then they get greedy and tax it so much that consumers are driven right to black market growers. That's the problem with governments: control and greed. Learn some basic economics and understand that everyone can benefit if the government keeps their oversized feet off of the economic brakes.
  3. It would be like picking up a white-hot ingot of steel with the intention of throwing it at Russia.
  4. I wonder what the THB-RUB exchange rate is on the black market? I've done enough global traveling to know that in most countries that is the official exchange rate and then street exchange rate.
  5. Really. Everybody has access to Covid tests. Why bother with hospitals. We're all responsible enough to stay at home and weather it out. See what the hospital did? They immediately pulled the race card and assumed your daughter was a farang to be shaken down. Friends - don't play their game. If you are ill, test. If your positive but with mild or no symptoms, quarantine the entire family at home. Which also means - prepare ahead of time to have the means to stay at home. If you are sick enough to need hospitalization - then get hospitalization. But for those of us who only experience flu-like symptoms. Stop playing into this highly racist money-scam. The government chooses to do this but it's morally reprehensible. Well - TIT.
  6. Maybe it's your BIOS and not the SSD? Quick and dirty check: hook them up with a SATA to USB cable and see if your OS recognizes them.
  7. Opinion: With the Pattaya music festival postponed and Songkran at risk for the third year in a row, what’s the exit strategy? When do we truly “live” with Covid-19 in Thailand? Acceptance. Accept that the Thai leadership have no plans to returning to 'normal' and then make your own plans accordingly. It that interferes with your life, check out countries that are more open. If it doesn't effect your life? Stay and enjoy. I'm not here for Songkran or music festivals. My Thai family is here. So I'm not effected, especially out here in rural Thailand. I enjoy my family, my garden, my dogs, cat, and bird. Have a beer every blue moon. Life is good. I plan to hang out and enjoy.
  8. Being a strong swimmer doesn't necessarly cut it. Knowing how to keep your cool and staying afloat is what keeps you alive. And prolonged exposure in the Chao Praya is going to take it's toll as well. Man you do not want to fall off a boat at night.
  9. According to Mrs. Connda, the unfortunate lass went to the stern alone to relieve herself. I'm assuming she picked that tidbit up from Thai TV. Buddy system and life-jackets on boats my friends.
  10. After which, if you're a foreigner, you'll be incarcerated in a private hospital? Honestly - who are they talking about. They are talking about Thais. Foreigners as scam targets for monetary extraction via private hospitals. Most people can weather Omicron at home. It's just the "scheme" to extract 100,000K THB out of foreigners that we foreigners are interested in having changed to some saner policy. Is that going to change? (for some reason I doubt it) ???? The best policy as a foreigner is to stay the heck away from Covid tests and hospitals. If you're sick, weather it out at home like a case of the flu - unless you're dying.
  11. Yeah, it's not for everybody. I prefer it, but I was a quite mad contrarian before moving out here so I now fit right in. One thousand, eight hundred and sixty-six. Dude has been on a rip!
  12. Just to get arrested, fined, and possibly imprisoned. Because - it's advertised like it's legal.
  13. It will be like the Mexican peso years back. Buy a truckload of the stuff and HODL.
  14. All this is going to do is get unsuspecting and misinformed foreign tourists thrown into prison for using marijuana because on one hand they advertise they are the cannabis capital of SE Asian, and on the other hand possession of the 'feel-good' stuff will get you arrested. So there will be many, many imprisoned and very confused foreigners in Thailand's Cannabis Future. This is a really bad idea. Stop messing around and decriminalize it instead of playing stupid games. I guarantee that lives and vacations will be ruined. And once that becomes public knowledge? It will be another stake in the heart of Thai tourism when exposees show up in foreign news outlets about tourist imprisoned for cannabis use base off of Thai TAT advertisements. "But they said to 'Come to the Cannabis Capital of Asia! How are we suppose to know?" Man, they are dancing on the edge of a razor with this nonsense.
  15. She'll probably do three years in prison. What she need is a medical intervention and help. Thailand really needs to embrace the Portugal drug model. Bust the actual big traffickers; provide medical help and counseling for the addicts.
  16. Yeah, they're shutting their own gas supplies off. "That will show those Ruskies whose in charge!" I doubt Ursula von der Leyen, the EU technocrats, or the WEF Davos crowd will care if Europeans (or the rest of the world) are squeezed financially. Thai leadership will probably subsidize diesel prices - maybe. "Inflation for thee, caviar for me!", say the elites.
  17. I'm getting 23 km/liter in the car. 90 km/liter on the bike. I don't care. Let her rip.
  18. I'm sure that any excuse to milk the public for private profits will soon be rolled out in spades. "So sorry that gas is 45 THB/L. Nothing we can do. War in Ukraine don't ya know! Anyway, you commoners should stop driving anyway. Climate change. Driving is now reserved for the wealthy. Buy an ox and a cart. And get your masks on!" ฿฿฿Cha-Ching฿฿฿
  19. And thank you to those of you who are selflessly volunteering to be subjects in the ongoing Phase 3 mRNA and AVV vaccines clinical live trials due to end at the end of 2022 though 2024 (Source: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04470427?term=NCT04470427&draw=2&rank=1; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04368728?term=NCT04368728&draw=2&rank=1. And honestly I can not find a precedent where vaccines are needed three to four times a year in order to maintain high levels of 'neutalizing antibodies' in the human body. Under what conditions in the past has the human body been subjected to a maintenance schedule of 'high levels' of neutralizing antibodies year round. Is the human body designed to due that on it's own? That is the function of B and T memory cells. They call the antibodies when needed; not antibodies forever. Well see how that works long-term if the government officials publish the results. Witholding study data now seems the norm (Sorry commoners but you're too stupid to understand the numbers, even you with degrees in Life Sciences). So many thanks for those volunteering as long-term vaccination subjects. Your sacrifice is appreciated by the medical and pharmaceutical industries as well as the rest of us. This family will stick to time-tested old tech inactivated virus vaccines which new studies show to stimulate B and T memory cell production (Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC8547974/) I'm not hobbled by a dislike of the Chinese people so personally the Chinese vaccines are this family's go-to shots as not wanting an mRNA or AVV shot not doubt makes us 'anti-vaxxers' in the minds of those who want to take those shot. And we'll take a look at Thailand's GPO's inactivate virus vaccine as well when it's approved by the Thai FDA. And for those who don't want the shots at all. More power to you. It's an individual choice. I won't discriminate based on vaccinate status.
  20. The pandemic can never be allowed to end. The commoners must not be allowed to feel happiness and joy as those emotions are reserved for the uber-wealthy. Although Thailand will not be forced to be a 'dry' country, the elite have driven a silver stake though the heart of night-entertainment and plan to bury it so that it never resurrects. Commoners purpose now is to solely work and serve the master-class. No more fun! And get those masks on to signify your newly assigned social status. Neo-feudal serfs. You'll own nothing and who cares if you are happy. Now get to work.
  21. That would be the only vaccine acceptable to the Connda household. Proven vaccination technology only.
  22. Phuket Sandbox Generates 43 Billion Baht of Cash Flow I wonder how much of that was made within the private hospital sector by way of forced incarceration of foreigners? ????
