Sure hope he's a rich nigerian as this is going to cost him millions

No problems. I've received many emails from Nigerians that are all multi-millionaires.

Despite Nigeria being an OPEC country with massive oil reserves, most of it's GDP is comprised of email and dating scams.. ????

With men now taking part in women's sports wonder what man will be next years women's bodybuilder champion ? 

A transgender weightlifter (NZ) competed in the Olympics recently. Thankfully, didn't win.

"Failed to produce a valid snatch" in the Clean and Jerk event. Probably. ????

As the opposition grills the government of 2014 coup leader Prayut Chan-ocha for its mismanagement of the Thai economy and how the has managed to rack up debts in the past 8-years that equates to the nearly the previous 80-years of democratic rule in the country

Rather worrying. Probably why the World Bank have been sniffing around lately.

Great job, Prayut & Co.

Nice cops up there.. Remember the lovely policeman that murdered a tourist:

The guy allegedly murdered his pregnant g/f whilst out on bail. Bib's finest.

yes ....  this whole legalize pot thing was a disaster waiting to happen,  kids selling, smoking,  dealing and one can only imagine what they'll be doing in 10 or 20 yrs from now .......   very sad society indeed. 

Not compared to the toll on society that methamphetamine ('ya ba') has created over the past 30 years.

Supposedly illegal, yet widely available just about everywhere in Thailand, and produced just over the border, with tacit help from the military.

So the cops are going to start pro-actively policing the roads.?

Just down the main road from my office there is a big old shady tree where the cops wait to nab and fine people who are driving in the outside lane, ostensibly to get in lane to turn right to make a U-turn at the traffic lights, another 200 meters away.

At these traffic lights, the usual suspects run red lights, make illegals turns etc, but the cops can't be arsed re-locating from their shady parking spot to catch them.. ???? And thus is why nothing really changes here..

Here's a clue; Your health is your own business. Nobody else is responsible for your health.

If you feel that "Covid could kill you", continue wearing a mask.

There was never any evidence of many empty wards in the UK with bored staff lounging around playing with their mobile phones. 

Covid: The truth behind videos of 'empty' hospitals 

 

I can also assure you one of my daughters who is in the UK and a nurse would also find that extremely offense.

 

 

The "evidence" was of bored nurses and hospital staff making dance videos in empty hospitals when the "first wave" hit the UK in 2020.

All these videos were immediately purged from youtube and other media outlets, and now any google search for them is returned with a "fact-check" caveat, or revised update.

“Our team also ran the [MRC’s] mathematical model and the outcome was rather significantly interesting. We found that the death rate in Thailand is below 0.1%, which is very close to that of seasonal flu,” he said.

Dr Kiattiphum said the governor was invited to attend the medical and public health emergency meeting, where he will be asked to scale back public activities with a high risk of widespread infections.

Seems more of a power struggle between the Govt and Bangkok Governor Chadchart. Probably just trying to let him know who's boss.

Sounds like a lovely guy, and a real tragedy..

In the UK for example, 40%  of government employees are still "working from home" apparently due to fear of covid meanwhile the rest of society carries on 

 

Sucking from the teat of Govt, while independent businesses went t!ts up, or suffered huge losses..

Please.. Another Govt mouthpiece in a white coat creating consent for the junta's "emergency decree" to continue indefinitely.

every time a death like this, i don't understand why people die, because they don't know how to swim or the wave keep pushing them down, what is the cause of these death, surely a person that know how to swim wouldn't drown in any circumstance would they.

A few of the beaches around Rayong, Mae Ramphung, Mae Rim Phim, Suan Son, etc have strong 'rip' tides that pull people out to sea.

Some of these beaches do not have warnings or flags, unless used by international tourists.

Not using your indicators, or refusing to switch on headlights at night is another great way to save fuel.

He admitted, however, that the number of cases examined by the Department of Medical Sciences is not enough to determine with certainty that BA.4 and BA.5 are more serious.

Bit of a non-story, then eh?

But let's put a scary "virus" picture at the top of it. ????
