Amidst this surge, Dr. Thira advises the public to take precautions, such as wearing masks in crowded environments like public transport, shopping malls, and markets. He also stresses avoiding close interactions with people showing respiratory symptoms, like coughing or sneezing.

 

As the virus continues its spread, Dr. Thira anticipates that infections will persist for a few more months before eventually declining. The community is urged to remain vigilant to curb this escalating health challenge.

 

 

Oh yeah 💯 this guy knows what he's talking about 👍

Wearing 🤡 masks works, they mark themselves so you wouldn't spend your time on them! Thanks for your precautions 555

Thailand never stopped masking, yet it seems to be one of the few countries in the world that is reporting high numbers of cases. Yet like the dumb idiots they are, they still insist on masking up at all times. The rest of the world is totally maskless and has been for a long time - people walk freely in Europe, while Thais and some deranged Expats continue to roam the streets like muzzled dogs.

And Kazakhs are much more interesting than Thais. The average Thai has nothing interesting to say, nor do they have opinions on things; they have spent their whole life being conditioned to always follow and never question. Their insane mask-wearing habits are a manifestation of this extreme docility and absence of critical thinking. There is a softness and vacuity that runs right to the core of the Thai psyche.

 

And you know this because you are fluent in the Thai language and  socialize with Thai people who  are educated and are engaged in  activities that require training  and/or education?  If you have only associated with Thailand's prostitutes and entertainment district  people, then your experience is to be expected.

 

It is wonderful that you are enthralled with Kazakhstan and its dismal  human rights and civil liberties  environment. You can engage  in your advanced  and deep discussions as you eat all the mutton, camel  and horse you want. Your position has to be a wind up, as no one of any sanity would make the idiotic claims that you have. And more importantly, no one cares if you claim that  kazakhstan is so much better than Thailand. Please enjoy it. Live your life  to the fullest with the  free floating uranium dust. There is a reason why the life expectancy is 6 years lower in kazakhstan, so go have fun. No need for you to ever set foot in Thailand again.

Your  comments now are unhinged. You apparently have not socialized with people outside of the bar district and in the service sector, as you have no idea as to how Thai people socialize or discuss topics. You did not  address the question of whether or not you are  fluent in Thai.  How else can you have a discussion with someone if you are  incapable of communicating with them, other than to say boom boom now. 

 

Kazkhstan is less than 1/3 the population size of Thailand. It's GDP value is not reflective of the individual prosperity, because its driven by its mineral resources. There is no significant manufacturing sector or third party services sector. Its wealth is derived from mineral and energy raw material exploitation with much of the profit going to Russian controlled entities.

 

I have not called anyone stupid, however, you are presenting yourself poorly, so it is reasonable that one might conclude that you are.  You concentrate on your youtube channel and its great gift to the world. How that makes you an expert on anything isn't clear, but  if you are happy, then good for you. 

 

Now do share with us, how and where you socialize with Thai people. Is it at a formal workplace, like at the PwC office, or is it at the Toyota factory, or is it while you are doing research at Mahidol?  

 

Ah, thank you for your passionate treatise: part lecture, part Lonely Planet review, with just a dash of misplaced superiority.

Let’s clear the air first: yes, Thailand does have some wonderfully educated individuals. They’re just tragically outnumbered. The Thai education system, bless it, ranks somewhere between "woeful" and "where dreams go to die." When a country spends more on road medians than on school reform, it shows. Literacy may be widespread, but critical thinking? Still on vacation in Koh Phangan. As for the endless amount of idiots who wear masks and no helmets, well all I can say for them is that natural selection will ensure they are eventually no longer around as a source of visual pollution. 

As for your sudden obsession with credentials Mahidol, PwC, Toyota, cute attempt at gatekeeping. But here's the thing: I don't need to don a lab coat or work in a grey cubicle to understand a culture. I lived it, breathed it, and, crucially, observed it  without being blinded by the rose-tinted glasses of "farang savior complex."

Now, let’s talk cities. Bangkok, with its tangled mess of wires, choking traffic, and surprise sewage aromas, is certainly an experience. But if it's cleanliness, modernity, and general sanity you’re after, Almaty says hello from its tree-lined boulevards, mountain views, and streets that don’t smell like fermented durian. It’s the kind of place where you don’t need to shower twice a day just to feel human. And best of all, pretty much the entire population have rejected masks and all you see are normal human faces walking the streets of Almaty, unlike the zombie-fest that is Bangkok

And finally, your lecture on Kazakhstan’s GDP would make a decent footnote in The Economist, if only it weren’t so irrelevant. You’re mistaking national GDP breakdowns for lived experience. Spoiler: people in Almaty smile too, eat well, and manage not to scream at each other over motorbike noise 24/7, nor do they muzzle like brain-dead robots.

So yes, I'm quite content with my YouTube channel, my observations, and my ability to form a sentence without sounding like I’m defending a thesis on expat moral superiority. You, however, might consider taking your next monologue to a TED Talk audition, just make sure it's not at the Bangkok sewage treatment facility. Now, go and put your surgical mask on like a good little farang to show all the brainwashed Thais how morally superior you are to all the other awful farangs.

I've always found that Thais have very weak immune systems.  They always seem to be quick to go to a pharmacy just for a poxy cold.  for most westerners i think we will just sit it out and man up.  i don't know if that's why they have such weak immune systems?  Maybe that's why there are so many pharmacies in Thailand cuz they can't wait to pop some pills for the smallest thing.   

 

A lot of it is because having a freeish health service is still a novelty to most Thais.

They're all still at the use it more because they can, stage...

The vaccination itself doesn´t "kill" the virus it just boosts  your immune system so that your body can more easily defeat the virus and the symptoms will be less severe and revovery will be quicker! In 2023 I had a vax just a month before my trip, and although I did catch Covid it was over within 4-5 days only! This year I didn´t bother to get a vax before my trip, and once again I caught Covid but this time it hit very hard and even today 3 months later I still have a cough!

 

So yes there really are some benefits with the vaccin!

The vax destroys your immune system. Get your facts right. Check out Prof Angus Dalgleish, one of the world's leading oncologists.

Ah, so anecdotal evidence is okay now, is it? Great. Here's mine: 0 jabs, 0 Covid infections. Gives a bit of perspective, doesn't it?

Pure luck.  I hope you do not catch, intubation is not fun.  Although the latest genetic variant is not so bad as previous genetic strains.
