Yes previous government like all governments was/are corrupt to some degree But those governments were not put in place with a rifle & those governments had some experience in running big business & a country This Junta/Govt has zero experience except to fill its own pockets. You think it is any different than what has ruled Burma/Myanmar since day 1? You think if this continues eventually the two places will not be the same?

Options to stay here in old age

It is coming even more now after the previous year of virus scares. Thailand in recent years has become well aware of many old falangs refusing to have health insurance (mostly due to lack of funds) only later to lose their nerve when the real pain of dying comes & showing up at hospitals begging.

Health Minister Anutin confirms Sinovac vaccines to arrive on Wednesday
meechai replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
the one made by Pfizer — needs to be kept extremely cold: minus 70 degrees Celsius, which is colder than winter in Antarctica! Moderna has said that its vaccine needs to be frozen too, but only at -20 Celsius more like a regular freezer. But these Sinovac vaccines from China ?? No problem...throw on a pallet & saran wrap leave in sun on the dock then float over to Thailand no problemo- 74 replies
