I'm going to start growing fresh and healthy fruit/veg in my little garden here in north Laos.

That's ineffective, mainly because stronger hungrier people can see you grow.

Better to hide a few 45Kg sacks of rice in a cellar or behind a false wall.

I learned that there's a lot more attractive Thai women than I thought....if you can only check out their bodies.

There is indeed an ongoing "agenda" by the Globalists to further subdue the masses ????

LoL, my garden is hidden behind a 2 metre high fence.  I live outside the town now, just one neighbour whose house backs onto mine, with no view.  Besides, I'm not going to grow for wholesale market distribution!  A few tomatoes, bananas and lettuce leaves each day is enough for my lean and bronzed, lithe body... ????

 

To comment on those who claim that the Globalists (whoever they may be) are out to subdue the masses, none of this affects me.  I don't give a jot what goes on politically in the world, (as long as I'm not asked to leave my country where I now live).  I can lead my own life in happy and splendid isolation.

It’s taught me that the Thai government is far worse than I ever imagined if it’s this bad with only 60 deaths what would of it been like if the place had turned out to be like Italy U.K. or America I dread to think we are months into it and there are 1,000s of Thais still trying to get home .

4. Found new recipes from the odds and sods in the fridge.

5. Someone came out of the bedroom, oh yeah, I have a son ????

6. I can plan to do absolutely nothing and not feel guilty.

7. 24 hours can seem soooo much longer.

8. Books are cool.

9. Got really good at driving sims in my VR rig.

10. Don't argue with wifey, you ain't got nowhere to run!!!

11. Visa runs are not necessary.

12. Cleaning the house is just not fun.

13. Stopped ironing clothes.

14. My Thai neighbours are even more noisy during the daytime.

15. I don't need to run the air-con all day.

18. Face masks suck.

1.   That there is a lot of militancy lying dormant in ordinarily good citizens, free-thinkers who have             formed their own conclusions and don't toe the government line.  

 

     Only time will show whether this has been a good thing, or a really stupid thing.

 

2.   Science doesn't have the answers.

 

3.   Politicians don't have the answers.

Agree the farmers in the rural areas are less susceptible and have managed to survive for years on little to nothing.

 

 

Yes this is a good plan. We are now using land to pretty much be self sufficient in fruit and vegtables. We have a big freezer to store meat.

[peleid]

Life is now, drink it whilst it is still fizzing

[Pilotman]

Yes it has.  Never to return to the UK if I can possibly help it.   I have also re learnt a valuable lesson, never trust a UK politician, they are all economically illiterate, scientifically challenged and liberal minded cowards.

The thing most of them survived on is money send to them by their sponsored sister(daughter) that has been working in the gogo's or has a farang boyfriend sending them money from abroad .

55,000 excess deaths in England and wales agree with your conclusion. 

 

What has this taught me?... There’s are a lot of people dismissing this virus as a flu... its not flu !

I have learned how people if told to jump on one leg then stand on their heads and spit to prevent Covid would do so.  I also learned that 58 deaths reported to be from Covid can completely shutter Thailand, wreck its economy while Thai road death toll tops 12,000 in 2019 is not a problem.  I learned that purchasing groceries at the supermarket or materials at a hardware store does not spread the disease but purchasing alcohol at the same supermarket can dramatically spread the disease.   I learned that tourists to Thailand have about a 1 in 300,000 chance of dying while in Thailand but a 1 in 1.6 million chance of dying from Covid in Thailand.  Bottom line, never underestimate the over reaction and stupid responses of people when hysteria sets in.

Really?

 

 2 things?

 

1. I don't count bar girls as anything short of a person admitting that they have to pay for company.

 

2. Hysterical understanding 130,000 people, which is the highest reported count in the world, have died from CV is not being hysterical, it is being realistic.

1) How much Sinsod did you pay your in laws again?

Covid is simply one example of an event that has upset the balance of the entire world.

 

No one saw it coming. No one ever predicted it could happen.

 

There could be many more events in the future even worse.

 

Things can still get much worse such as a collapse of the Thai economy like in 97

 

"Things can still get much worse such as a collapse of the Thai economy like in 97".

Bring it on, they treat me like a criminal with their stupid 90 day reporting. sam nam na.

I've learned that mass propaganda has been honed to a highly effective science since it's advent in the days of Edward Bernays.
As well I've learned that 80% of the population is highly susceptible to this current version of propaganda.  Kudos! 
Welcome to Fascism.

Yawn....   Gullable, stupid, many have ‘proven to be’.... But you are the smart one because you believe this to be a conspiracy.... Yawn !!!!... 

 

Isn’t it a risk to voice your conspiracy concerns on the internet? won’t the CIA track you down and take you to the same black-site they take the aliens for questioning?

 

Don’t worry, just because you are paranoid it doesn’t mean they aren’t chasing you.
