  1. I think the "Porsche" reference denotes that if he'd been a poor person, his death might not have made the news.. I was at the next beach (Mae Ramphung) to where this guy drowned on Wednesday (a Thai Buddhist Holiday) with my family. The waves were pretty strong, and a lot of people came there to surf. There were no flags, warning signs, or lifeguards on the beach at all. Lots of signs with "No alcohol" though. Go figure..
  2. Please.. Another Govt mouthpiece in a white coat creating consent for the junta's "emergency decree" to continue indefinitely.
  3. 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.
  4. Let's just hope the "safe" part of the "safe and effective" description of these jabs is accurate at least.
  5. Not using your indicators, or refusing to switch on headlights at night is another great way to save fuel.
  6. Bit of a non-story, then eh? But let's put a scary "virus" picture at the top of it. ????
  7. There's another holiday at the end of this month (28th). Given the efficacy of previous jabs, will Anutin be recommending another jab then?
  8. ^Yes, Ko Chang has strong riptides even in normal weather. Crazy to ignore the flags (if they were displayed properly). Very sad for these young people and their families.
  9. Tourism in Thailand accounts for only around 10-11% of GDP, but employs a lot of people.
  10. Just another affirmation of the "quality destination" that tourists should be paying more for. ????
  11. Yep. Was "SADS" (sudden adult death syndrome) ever a thing before?
  12. Japan has some of the toughest gun laws in the world. Very difficult for anyone unconnected to obtain a gun there, legally or not. I doubt this guy is some random lunatic.
  13. Exactly. Utterly stupid thinking, and proving just how out of touch these people are with the situation (and reality in general).
  14. True enough. Think of how much your trainers would cost without Uighur (slave) labor?
  15. Good luck. Most Thai vets won't do this. I live in Banchang, Rayong, and there was only one vet I found that was willing to help when my old dog was in terrible pain. He supplied the syringe and "pentobarbital" (?) solution, and I made the injection. I think this business / shop has since moved premises now, though. I would inform the vet that you are willing to inject your pet first, I think a few of them have the materials, but won't perform the job.
  16. Wouldn't happen to coincide with "rainy season", then?
  17. Must be a fair old 'back-log' of serious crimes ongoing..? Couldn't possibly be politically-motivated, then..
  18. Basically because they're (CP) allowed to monopolize supply and thus dictate prices to suppliers and consumers. It's not even crony-capitalism, it's cartel-ism. Facilitated by a robber-baron Govt.
  19. Hygiene, road safety, food safety, clean air, healthy eating, etc., etc. No bandwagon or gravy-train for healthy, confident people, unfortunately.
  20. The mask mandate ended only to try attract foreign tourists back here. It's only the main tourist areas that you also see Thais without masks, tbh. Thais are still getting their info and news from masked newsreaders, masked cartoon characters on Line app, Mor Phrom, etc. In the workplace, a lot of factory workers, contractors, etc still have to ATK-check every 3 days. If they come up positive, they will have to isolate (and lose money) for 10 days, pending negative results. So it's also the fear of losing earnings.. Mandated or not, the mask-wearing will be here in Thailand for a long time.
  21. "Endemic Era" promotion to lure the tourists back.. Meanwhile, refusing to actually implement "endemic" measures, to keep the Thai population frightened and compliant, and riding the gravy train of PPE / ATK sales.
  22. Lovely bloke. Killed his wife in a similar modus operandi, thirty years ago. https://www.thephuketnews.com/police-suspect-banyin-in-wife-1991-death-58152.php
