Since the mask mandate has ended, I've hardly ever seen any Thais unmasked in public anyway (in Bangkok, might be different elsewhere).
Foreign tourists are a different story, but they didn't seem to care even before.
So, what difference would this really make?
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.

I'm sure they won't mention that.
Yes, it's called "Rainy Season".

"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.

Yep, I vaguely remember those maladies.. ???? Didn't they disappear during 2020?

is a lung specialist and has 31 scientific publications to its name. Can you please share your experience in and contributions to medical science?
At the start of this year, he was urging the populace "not to be scared", and being positive about an endemic status of this virus.
Now, he is looking to postpone this, and scare-mongering..
A large section of society is trying to rebuild their lives and livelihoods right now. Are you happy to have this guy dictate the parameters of your life for you?

QuoteShe said that lung infections increased from 598 on June 17th to 684 cases today and those requiring ventilators rose from 288 last week to 292 today, adding, however, that the increase had been anticipated after the relaxing of face mask wearing requirements in public places and the reopening of pubs and bars.
Not much of an increase at all.

To date she has not been named. She is probably the wife of a VIP, so all cases automatically dropped.
All she has to do is slur the magical words; "Do you know who I am?" And get spirited away from the stench of her actions.

According to the prime minister, the Thai government has been working with foreign governments in an effort to promote industrial development and strengthen the nation’s industrial base.
He also defended the government’s borrowing, arguing that the loans were essential to stimulate spending and drive economic growth in the kingdom.
Translated: "Signed up to shonky trade deals, in return for loans to buy jets and weapons".

Of course it is no different in other countries that have casinos, but the problems they have now and without the casinos will triple or quadruple. Add in the prostitution, mafia types, and then the goons. Keep the country devoid of Casino's, a better bet would be to allow foreigners to own land, capped at a small percentage for each area.
People who gamble will do so anyway. The majority of them do it on their phones or at their workplace, village, etc.
I don't see how an actual physical walk-in casino will change normal people's gambling habits, tbh.
It will prevent however, the billions of Baht / dollars that Thailand loses just over it's borders with it's immediate neighbours.

They are now my heroes.
Starting from when the then-Justice Minister declared the Drug War lost and over, the initiative to legalize medical cannabis and culminating in the recent legalization of Cannabis.
This is a bold and long overdue action and hopefully will encourage other countries in the region to follow suit..
A civilian government would have been unlikely to have delivered this policy in any reasonable time-frame given the horse-trading necessary..
So Ms. Shinawatra and her clan had best get onboard, and how likely is that, with Papa's recent outburst comparing cannabis to opium and heroin?
Hey! Look over there!
The cannabis legalization is just a sideshow distraction from a desperately unpopular government that stole people's democracy and livelihoods at the point of a gun.

Just re-reading a few old Henry Miller classics.
Tropic of Cancer.
Quiet Days in Clichy.
Black Spring.
Amazingly rich prose, free-association and vocab. Also pretty visceral and tackles taboo (1930's era) matter with lots of energy. Great reading.

Mr Anutin said he had requested leave from the cabinet meeting. He believed he caught the virus during the trip as he had met many people who were not wearing face masks. While making speeches and chairing meetings he also had to take off his mask.
I bet he doesn't even have Covid. Just making a point about non-Thais, not wearing the ... masks.

--10,000+ people are currently hospitalized in Thailand because of COVID.
--610 of those are in serious condition with pneumonia type symptoms.
--and another 286 are in such bad condition that they've required intubation in order to breathe.
https://www.facebook.com/informationcovid19/photos/591579362460392
And then, of course, there was this little nugget in today's news:
COVID cognitive decline more widespread than thought, say researchers at Australia's first long-COVID clinic
"And the team has found something startling.
Does it state the average age or co-morbidity of those 10,000 people.?
"Pneumonia" is basically the intrinsic cause of death of old age or "natural causes".

Where do they do these tests for ‘sub-variants’.... Every PCR test I have taken simply responds negative,
But for those whose test returned a positive, was the variant listed ?...
Does every lab test that returns a positive test also test for a variant and sub-variant? does every lab have the equipment and expertise to test to that level of detail ????
They've all got genomic sequencers that they are fully-trained in the use of. I'm sure...

Have the newsreaders removed theirs, yet?
We (at my office) had a clean sweep of maskless staff, last week. Today the muzzles are back on again, probably due to the "new variants" being of concern, according to the daily fearmongers.

You know, I have tried using these predicted lottery numbers.
Be it car crash number plates, banana trees; monitor lizard with talcum powder; cow with two heads; snakes etc. and you know what I have never won.
I am sorry, I don't believe this spider knows any better.
Auspicious numbers are all around us..
Eight-legged creatures however, have a history of being able to forecast sporting / betting events. ????

Pull the other one will you, I drive for hours on end and never see a cop in sight, however if there is a VIP that is going to pass by, they will be at every junction, i.e. off of their lazy aces.
Yep. That's all they are. An army of the rich.
The horrendous accident stats here don't seem to bother the collective hive-mind at all. Just an unemployment solution.

Cha Cha just parroting the Davos agenda.

Not just that - the noise was unbearable.
The local authority couldn't care less according to the locals who said they levy taxes then ignore justified complaints.
They do have a valid, erm.. point. (Getting me coat).

Leading Thai doctors calling for mask mandate to be reinstated

Hygiene, road safety, food safety, clean air, healthy eating, etc., etc. No bandwagon or gravy-train for healthy, confident people, unfortunately.
