garyk Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) I haven't been following Thailand for a while. Although I lived there for years I am now in Colombia. I don't understand the problem. Is it because the Thai people do not want to get vaccinated? I know in the US, the folks that refused to get vaccinated are having a hard go of it now with the variant. Before I left my home in the US for Colombia the man next door to me told me it was a conspiracy and he would never get vaccinated. Two months later he died of complications due to the virus. It devastated his wife and family. After that they went and got vaccinated. Edited July 31, 2021 by garyk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time they are sponsoring thai sangha to the tune of 50% of it's budget, some 5bln every single year. But that money do pacyfy population very well, as good, as armaments brandished by soldiers on the streets Edited July 31, 2021 by internationalism 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post internationalism Posted July 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2021 yes, there is no vax and the whole vax program is in shambles. yes, they wanted only one vax, locally made, no any other. Reeks of corruption to the highest level. They refused to join Covax, because they won't benefit from it personally. They just did it the last week, when daily deaths hit over 100 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of which are adjuncts to prayer, not necessary for it. At it's most fundemental prayer is your communicating with your deity or faith. Perhaps that is what the good doctor is suggesting. As a left footer I would (do) use rosary beads, and formulaic prayers which are specific to my faith, however they are by no means the only channel.

This has been such a great comfort to many since the pandemic began...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
