Vaccines?

It's the Thai power-elite Morality Squads intention to kill anything that is considered to be fun unless it is Disney-style squeaky-clean and family wholesome. 
These people are ushering in a new normal Prohibition model under the cover of a "public health emergency."
Watch where this goes in the long-term!  

Damn , this photographer actually got shot of the "brown" envelope everybody talks about in a real photo...., I wish he had a secret camera to take another shot when opened...????????

 

 

 

 

 

(Disclaimer: this is a joke...! lol ????)

Because Phuket is reopening July 1st it might not equal that foreign tourists are queuing up outside it's borders, ready to enter. So far we know that there are 20 Americans arriving July 9th, so no need to open before July 1st, then they have a week to prepare for the huge crowd visiting the nightlife the 9th...????
