No need for a band - take a Sony Walkman or whatever they are called these days...

Let me get this correct. From Friday, 1st Oct, bands can play in restaurants (without drinkies)

Curfew stops on 15th October, or changes to 9pm to 3 am.

State of emergency goes on until 30th November.

Would edible panties displayed on stage available for purchase count?

If there is a band they will serve alcohol for sure...But as usual it will not be checked by the RTP

What will they play?

 

Roll out the barrel?

Whiskey in the jar?

Red red wine?

Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps?

Nah. Not that bad.....yet.????

How can he welcome vaccinated tourist from abroad from Nov 1st while still keeping a State of Emergency. Who in their right mind would come.

2021 Thailand isn't far off 2019 North Korea.

 

This is what happens when the masses cede power over to government. You don't tend to get it back.

we did? Or at least we stayed. 

Food and now... a live band. Great.

 

But still can not order a beer nor a glass of wine.

 

Naughty naughty boys. It's bad for you.

 

Perhaps at Christmas, if you behave.

 

Meanwhile... the only real news that matters : the "emergency decree" is extended to november 30...

 

But... wait a minute... what "emergency" are we talking about ? Hospitals are overwhelmed by Covid ? Corpses on the streets ?

 

And what about vaccination ? Not good enough ?

????

 

What's the goalpost ? The end ? The target ?

 

Strange, nobody ask those questions.

Although most covid deaths occur in people with obesity-associated conditions, there has been no outcry by any health officials about the idea of exercising as a way of lowering the covid health problems.

 

seems they only have stock in the pharma companies, not any gyms

 

prevention, no

pharmabucks, yes

Perhaps because we all suspect we know the answer.

 

For an authoritarian regime, with discredited democratic legitimacy, a growing protest movement in their capital ( political heartland), a legacy of hostility to their rise to power over some 8 years ago within much of the rest of the country and public disenchantment with their performance at a level whereby the manipulation of any electoral process would have to be so widespread as to lead to widespread resistance, a permanent "State of Emergency" is an end to itself.

 

But if they were to design to offer any answers they would probably include:

 

1) there is a state of emergency, so under these circumstances it is not practical to hold an election.

 

2) Due to the state of emergency we shall have to continue in power and rule by decree, but don't worry, we are only doing it for your benefit.

 

3) Due to the state of emergency it will prove necessary to control and curtail any opposition movements. We must all pull together for the benefit of Thailand.

 

4) Does anyone know where we can get any more shipping containers?

Yeah since I have my family here. But I would never go on holiday to thailand the state it is in now.

The one thing that would put me off going into a restaurant is if there were a band playing.
