COVID-19 Severity Fades, But Virus Remains, says Dr. Yong
Dr. Yong. File photo courtesy: NNT Professor Yong Poovorawan from Chulalongkorn University delivered an update on the current state of COVID-19, highlighting its evolution over time. While the pandemic has ended this year, the virus continues to persist. Reflecting on the pandemic's journey, Professor Yong pointed out that the initial years saw high mortality rates and the need for stringent responses such as widespread vaccinations. With the development of immunity through vaccines and natural infections, the severity has now significantly reduced. He compared the progression with the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, which initially caused millions of deaths but eventually evolved into a seasonal strain. Similarly, COVID-19 has transitioned from causing widespread pneumonia and filling ICU wards to becoming a more routine respiratory illness. Despite some criticisms that early responses were excessive given the milder current situation, Professor Yong argued that without those measures, the impact, especially in the early years, would have been catastrophic, potentially causing a 1% fatality rate akin to the Spanish flu, reported Naew Na Ultimately, COVID-19 remains with us, albeit in a less threatening form. Its journey underscores the importance of adapting health measures to the evolving threat while recognising that the virus, like many others, is unlikely to disappear entirely. -- 2024-12-09 -

Apart from Thais working in the tourism sector, does anyone actually want Russians here?
Morally they should be on the front-line fighting for their supreme leader instead of cluttering up the pristine beaches of this country. -

Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
This is just the tip of the iceberg really, Thailand has many anti foreign policies that would cause a raucous in western countries. Thais living and working overseas, owning properties overseas do not experience the same bias policies that foreigners living or visiting Thailand endure. Owning a business in Thailand as a foreigner really exposes this anti foreign sentiment with no feelings of shame. Yes they need to support local investment by Thais but they take the disparity to another level.- 1

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
Where does the April 17,000 bookings for EVs number come from? I didn't see that number in the weblink you gave. Maybe you are talking EV bookings from the Mar-Apr 2024 Motor Show? -

Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
Not necessarily. My bank account, in 2024, received a gift from my folks; an inheritance from granddad; and a loan from my bank. All these monies were remitted to Thailand for my new house. None are income, for either US or Thai taxation purposes.- 1
