What I’m seeing now has uncomfortable parallels with 60/70s Southern Africa when independence brought some of the most corrupt and frankly'thick' incompetent leaders into power. I never thought I’d see again such rank stupidity and low IQ officials in charge….until now. If you Google average IQ in sub Saharan Africa it’s in the 60s (European average 100). While better than Africa here,it’s still below 100 (although some rural pockets are substantially lower) and with a dreadful PISA EDUCATIONAL tables placing. There is no meritocracy operating in government departments here as clearly evidenced by the never ending foolishness with this latest incarnation.

Focus on what is important:  Getting lots of vaccines NOW and Intervac back up.

Don't wish to rub it in but if she was in UK, Oz, etc she would not face discrimination.

I had a Myanmar girlfriend for a time and was very surprised at discrimination levels against her from the Thais.

Are you both seeing a cheap way to feel good? There are many non whites in both countries that add tremendous value , and I bet you both are cheap pensioners on the take ( handouts) . And feel great in Thailand where the locals are trained to have an inferiority complex. Making you both think you are superior?

digressing from masks...

I realise this is off-topic but may I point out that certainly in UK, we EARN our pensions through a lifetime of contributions into the system.

Certainly not "on the take" for "handouts"!

[Clarkey611]

I had been led to believe that this pandemic had been caused by people drinking alcohol. So presumably with all the infections now being found in homes, drinking alcohol will soon be banned from these locations?

Thailand angst with Burma is history.

Ask a Thai woman what she thinks of philipino women. Be careful.

It's not "ThaiVisa" any more it's "Asean Now" so maybe their Editor and proof readers are having teething problems - I think we can expect more of the same nonsense for a while!

Well, I bought myself masks for my ears; available online as bullsh1t protectors, model 00 (like the loo). Extremely relaxing and comfortable for anything coming from the government's press and other desks ;-) 

[JWRC]

The whole situation has gotten worse through the governments lack of appropriate action. I will not now or ever wear a mask in my own home. They are panicking now, as well they might, but there is a limit as to how much stupidity one can take, it stops for me at my front door.

The wife, being Thai has a healthy hatred of anyone Asian, who is not Thai, and even more if they are not Buddhist.

 

With respect to the last statement, it's everyone else against the English. Even the Scots hate the English. I say even...it's because the English reputedly treat everyone else in the world with equal  disdain
