Health Six Dead as Covid Cases Surge in Thailand
You're not a horse you'll. That was a US CDC tweet on the subject. There can be no alternative medications because the emergency use authorisation depended upon there being no other treatment...it's the science!- 2

Health Six Dead as Covid Cases Surge in Thailand
There you have it, straight from the eminent Dr Yong. If you die from - or rather with - this virus, you would have been dead soon enough anyway, with or without it. For most people it's just like any other cold.- 1

Grab Taxi Suvarnbhumi Airport to Pattaya....I got some news for you...
A). You need to learn who will take you by meter and who won't. As a general clue, ignore the gutter crawlers or those that are parked up looking for a customer - they will almost certainly refuse to use their meter and charge you too well over the top. Instead, flag one down that's driving past at normal speed. There is no need for any resentment - they have a meter in their car - you might be interested to know that it is illegal for them to refuse to use it. B). 'And as an individual, I can't do anything about that reality.' Why not? I don't over tip and it has nothing to do with my ability to speak Thai. Just do what I say above and you will most likely get a normal driver who will use his meter. That's what I do everytime I'm in Bangkok and I don't have a problem - why are you any different? The most I ever tip is if say, I've come from the airport and that fare is over 350, I will usually give them 400. Other short journeys and I either don't tip at all or just 20 baht. You need to remember, there are more taxis than customers, there are plenty of drivers that will be thankful for your business. If you are looking for a taxi in a tourist area and try the kerb crawling mob, you aint going to get a ride at the right price - ignore them.
