you can easily check upon how old you are by recording the decibel level of the groan you make as you stand up from a chair, or heave yourself out of bed. If you add a few expletives in the process, then you are definitely old.

Particularly as they have China in their backyard.
Wealthy Chinese criminals and legitimate wealthy Chinese will buy Thailand dry. In a single generation.
It's a bad move
They should control it and monitor it religiously
you are absolutely right, selling off your land, your prize assets to foreigners makes no sense at all. I just wish the UK would adopt the same polices as Thailand ,keep the Russian criminals and the Chinese megalomaniacs from owning anything.

My Dad always drank it.
That's the one, a very nice stout. Do they still produce it? If so, I wonder if you can order it here? If I recall, we used to mix it 50/ 50 with cider, wasn't that a Black Velvet? Goodness, my mouth is watering.

'its a good idea' said a man, another said 'yes', another said 'maybe', another ( the one with tanks, submarines, 30 year of F16s and thousands of conscript troops) said no, and the men went silent.

when you reach a certain age, looking older is not the issue, looking alive is the important point. You have the advantage of no longer chasing women, jobs or the approbation of others A beard makes this point very strongly. It basically is saying fxxk you to the world.

The key message you seem to be sending out is that ‘everyone else is a liar’ and don’t bother trying.
Not really, my message is to remain sceptical and do your own 'on the ground' research, rather than take the word of others as absolute gospel. Unfortunately, as I have found out over the years there are a lot of outright liars out there in the social media world, as well as Walter Mittie's, exaggerators and mental cases . I am none of those things, but it pays to think that many other people are.

There was Mild Beer and there was Bitter Beer and you could mix the two or have a shandy. Not a bottle of foreign lager anywhere and if you asked for a cocktail outside of London you would be laughed out of the pub.

you think that you are going to get the Covid vaccine of your choice any time soon
-
Take number of people to be X
Take number of vaccines needed to be Y
X = Y
seems easy enough to me.

It only really hit me when , as a pilot, I reached the age at which I could not longer fly airline fare paying passengers I could fly cargo, just not people. Although I knew it was coming of course, the shock realisation was hard to take. It probably took 2 years for me to accept the inevitable that I was, effectively, now an old man, although I didn't feel old ; still don't really. The irony was that I could still operate as a line check pilot for younger crew, That was almost insulting.

Pilotman has got this strange idea that those who have been vaccinated were vaccinated with Sinovac and are lying about being vaccinated with AZ....
It takes a very strange mind to suspect people of lying about such a thing....
Its all clear on Sheryl’s thread, but he still thinks people are lying.
I have met two expats that did lie, so it tends to make one a bit sceptical. However, I dont care what others get vaccinating with, only what my family and I get There is no consistency of true information here on TVF and certainly not from the government. It is all either contradictory, wrong, out of date, wishful thinking or just plain old lies. Even Sheryl, good that she is, is not the font of all knowledge on what is going on over the whole country. It is a buggers muddle and looking to TVF to give solid information is clearly not possible. We must all go our own way and find out for ourselves the truth of what is being said. This is not visa information from Ubon Joe, that corrects misconceptions and wrong thinking, this is a massive fxxk up that people are trying to navigate, some more successfully than others. I will believe anything I am being told after I have managed to get a vaccine, prior to that, I will remain sceptical.

My wife didn't register, but they had vaccine left over and included her. There were 2 other farang who hung around and got added to the program when it was evident there was spare vaccine.
WHERE ? What is it with people on here who say they have had the AZ vaccine but won't say where? Is it a secret, or is it BS?

I think you were referring to other fruit......cherries ????
indeed. It just entered my head after I posted my comment, that I needed to add a qualifier, even to a joke, sad really.

You forgot about plums and that brings me to a phenomena that never was explained. Why was it that the plums you nicked from other peoples trees always tasted better then the ones in your own garden ? strange that
same with apples, and indeed girls. Its all about plucking forbidden fruit.
Edit: consensually of course. at least for girls, not apples.

God but wasn't it a boring time? I think that I was 8 years old before I first saw a banana, never mind ate one. Fruit choice was either an apple or an orange and only in season. And I wasn't even living in Scotland.

Thailand targets 3 million foreign tourists this year under phased reopening
in Thailand News
Posted
Not this year but next year; that seems achievable, but a lot needs to happen between now and then, not least, the airlines need to provide the necessary seat and route capacity.
