but what if one doesn't want to get the vaccine?
but what do these vaccines contain?
In Switzerland they have blocked the Astra Zeneca vaccine because it has not yet given maximum security of having side effects and no security for the coming years of future problems for the people who will receive it, no one wonders if these vaccines will have side effects will cause problems and who will pay for the damage suffered? certainly not the pharmaceutical companies, there are treatments to cure covid 19, no vaccine is needed, then a vaccine that lasts only a few months and no security that the virus does not infect yet, all data that are online, and It was found that Moderna and Astra Zeneca's vaccine has only 19 to 23% confidence not to contract the virus, while Russian Sputnik vaccine has 93% safety and few contraindications, all data online.
all this to make the vaccine and a sea of money for the pharmaceutical companies that will also give a lot of money to those who buy them ..

That is actually inaccurate. The Swiss have not authorised its use because the amount of data made available does not allow them to reach firm conclusions on its efficacy. The main problem being the trials had too few older people. The rest of your data is garbage.

The Russian was looking for trouble and he found it. 
Kenny explains it all  in this video. 

Of course we all know that Thai's would never make any claims that were not true................................????

U turns are fine and not inherently unsafe, but only if people drive and ride with common sense.  Unfortunately, all to often, they don't do so. 

Sorry, That is nonsense here in Thailand. Take a trip down Bang Na Trad road sometime, you U-turn from 'fast' lane to 'fast' lane on a three lane per side dual carriageway. I have seen so much white paint at these U-Turns that I thought of opening a paint shop!

What about the many big bike riders who have been riding them for years, or even decades?. Again, an ill-thought out idea, with many questions still left unanswered. Another knee-jerk reaction to a problem that does not actually exist, from people with no expertise in the area.

How do you close an account and take out 2 mil with somebody elses ID card and the wrong signature?

The same way almost 600,000 baht was taken out of my account in a single morning. Thankfully the bank in question admitted it was an inside job and returned all of the money, but it took almost three months.

Huh, did the French woman develop a fever, but still went out shopping on Samui.

That's just crazy if that's the case. 

 

When you have been through the 14 day quarantine and tested negative for Covid-19, you probably do not expect the come down with it at a later date. What is more interesting is who she caught it from, or is 14 days quarantine actually enough.

I would seriously question his 'claim' that it was predominantly foreigners who shopped there. In the many years I have shopped in MBK since it opened back in 1985 I have never seen anything close to a majority of shoppers being foreign. I also think that people like this forget that many Thai's are currently experiencing hardships and thus no longer visit malls like this.

But IMO, it is still a big inconvenience to not be able to bring in me own drink.

You can bring in your own drink, but like establishments all over the world they charge a corkage fee. This is a common and well accepted practice.

He's always stirring things up. 

What utter nonsense. He is merely reporting on things. Not his fault if idiots do not fully read posts before replying with rubbish statements, like yours for example.

Tourists cannot open a Thai bank account. You have to prove some form of residency before a Thai bank will consider your application. 

I opened my first two accounts here on a 28 day Visa Waiver without problems.

Some foreigners die here, after being in the hospital for numerous days. I know one guy in Pattaya, had a bill of over 1,000,000 baht from the Bangkok Pattaya hospital, when he died. The hospital tried to locate his friends to pay the bill. Needless to say, no one admitted being his friend. I imagine he isn't the only foreigner who has left a hospital with an outstanding debt.

One million baht at BP Hospital, So he was in for an ingrowing toenail????

Pitbulls were bred to be aggressive, nothing to do with the idiots who own them

Nonsense. Pit bulls are not inherently dangerous. Like any other dogs, they can become violent, aggressive and mean through a lack of training, abuse, neglect and irresponsible ownership and breeding as well as a lack of attention to health and temperament issues.

As usual they claim brake failure because they were going too fast in a very heavy vehicle. It is quite clear at around 4secs that the truck braked hard as it turns slightly as the brakes lock up the wheels. If the brakes had failed he would not have slowed to any noticeable degree.
