Popular Post nong38 Posted November 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2021 Just a thought but I wonder how many tea totallers have been infected by the bug and how many have died. we only have the Governments view that alcohol plays a part in this pseudo pandemic and can someone tell me how you can be at risk in a beer bar but not in coffee shop or tea bar, show me the evidence. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To what end I cannot say but there's definitely an agenda. He and his gang are weak but they want to have access to the money pots as long as possible. The support in the population is no longer there and has clearly shrunk. The whole policy is geared towards not tolerating any gatherings of critical people. And since Alkehol is known to loosen up the tongue and people then often speak in a more restrained (critical) manner, it is restricted by those in power. And Covid is increasingly becoming a pretext to prevent the dissatisfied from demonstrating. Edited November 17, 2021 by tomacht8 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin'. PS. I like a beer as much as the next guy. Edited November 17, 2021 by overherebc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a lot of sense to utter no’sence, imagine if at the end of the high season bars etc are still closed they could all be picked up cheap, Pattaya the whole of walking street for for the price of a condo, very cheap compulsory purchase indeed.

Why do so many autocratic leaders have such a huge ego, and such a pathological need for praise, even if it comes from themselves? I really don’t understand how the minds of these people works, they seem to live in a ‘reality’ that is completely detached from the real world. And yet countless brainless fools believe every word they say and follow them like lemmings off a cliff. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the country really want to risk more infections just to cater for those sorts of visitors, I think not. There is a far greater chance of getting a viral infection from an un-vaccinated Thai than from a tourist who is fully vaccinated and tested before they even enter Thailand. BTW it doesn't really matter what you or I or any other farangs think, it is what the Great Panjandrum and his puppet master think and want. They take no notice of their own people, let alone us. There may be more to your life than booze in bars and what the pimps have on offer surely, but you are not everybody, and people have different tastes on holiday. For me, temples and being on the beach all are two of the most boring things to do. Having said that I am 77 and I have been living and working in Thailand much of the time since 1993. 3 hours ago, raccos21 said: And not even wearing a mask.

Backward education, backward institutions, backward government....and I fear it's getting worse. In nearly 40 years I have never been as depressed as I am today with what is going on here. It is worrying indeed. Never in the recent past has the military made a coup and has secured power / government position for so long, already since 7 years. At first, the majority were happy that the bloody fights between red and yellow had ended. Slowly the majority of Thais notices that democracy has been systematically dismantled over the years, critics are locked away, the opposition has been silenced with all tricks, press censorship, assembly bans, Police are increasingly armed with anti-riot gear, for the majority the economic situation has deteriorated, corruption continues, only now has a different color and nepotism still prevails. The socio-political situation in Thailand is now a mix of Burma, China and Cambodia. Many has called the devil to drive out the Beltzebub. But now they can't get rid of him. Will there still be free and fair elections next year? Edited November 17, 2021 by tomacht8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
