Checking to see whether you are wearing a mask
I thought that would be obvious.

Another good one was VIMTO from Manchester. A V&V (Voddy & Vimto) was/is great.
Also tasted sickly sweet when i last tried it.

Tests find French woman did not contract Covid-19 in Samut Prakan hotel
By The Nation
Dr Sopon Iamsirithaworn
Dr Sopon Iamsirithaworn, director of the Disease Control Department’s Bureau of General Communicable Diseases, said on Thursday the French patient’s test did not match that of two other foreign guests at the same hotel who tested positive. He said tests showed the woman had contracted the infection 17 days earlier, which rules out the Samut Prakan hotel.
“Though we haven’t found the source of her infection, we still have to revise our guidelines for alternative state quarantine sites and cut down the risk of spreading the virus,” Dr Sopon said.
Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, meanwhile, said guidelines for hotels used as quarantine sites will have to be reviewed after traces of Covid-19 virus were found on the gym equipment of the Samut Prakan hotel where the French woman had been staying.

So many questions about this report.
Only 7 samples were taken, why so few in a large building?
Did the woman actually use the gym?
Was the virus present in the gym before she became infected, or did she become infected elsewhere and then subsequently infect the gym?
Did she become infected on Koh Samui or during her passage to Koh Samui?I guess we will never certainly know, but we will carry on with lockdowns and quarantines nevertheless.
My question is still "Why did big C let her in with a fever when they check everyone at entry?"
-
How did she get into BigC who check everyone's temperature before entry?

the woman reportedly developed a fever but managed to go shopping
While I'm no fan of lockdown, that is just disgraceful. If one is not well, stay the **** home. That applies to any disease and a fever indicates disease.
Is it not possible to identify the Big C shop or her area of residence?

Well, not quite. They have moved from the late middle ages into the twentieth century by allowing civil union but not marriage. Civil union does not necessarily allow all the rights of marriage. It is a bit like the catholic church allowing for the control of fertility (through the rhythm method) but the banning of the use of contraceptives, including condoms.
But I suppose we should look on the bright side. The pope is far more liberal than the latest candidate for the USA supreme court.
Exactly! I was wondering if the Pope's announcement would influence Mrs. Bennett's views on this issue.

Only a complete financial illiterate would put 3 million baht into a Thai bank when the deposit protection drops to ONE million baht next year.
A good point, but what would you suggest one should do with funds above one million baht?

So why does he not just release his tax information in order to prove that it is fake news?

The resultant loaves have improved as we get the collective knack. Good to know that I'm not the only one. My bread usually turns out like a brick.

I have just received my Life Certificate letter, posted from Spring Global Mail, UK, via Laksi Post Office, Bangkok. It is the second one I have received in 10 years in Thailand.
There must be an easier way of doing this. I do a self-assessment tax return every year. Why can't "joined-up" government recognise that if I am paying tax, and sending HMRC a tax return each year, it is more likely than not that I am still breathing.
Yes, it's called email, which DWP hasn't installed yet. I've had 2 letters in 7 years and both took 12 weeks to arrive and asked for a reply within 8 weeks!.

I have a question. in my home country, one chooses the numbers you want. Here, the numbers are pre-printed on the tickets. Is it possible for the winning numbers to be on an unsold ticket? If not, how are unsold numbers eliminated from the draw?

So are 90% against it or 90% for it? It’ll depend on who the surveyors ask!
Maybe Quantity Surveyors!

Which it clearly does not. Is this not false and misleading advertising? Or does the rule not apply to outrageous claims?

I have tried a few times over the years, but it always comes out like a brick. My recent attempt was similar despite following religiously the video for my favourite Portuguese bread. Just can't get it right.

I thought we would have had a mention of Trump's Thighland.

"Suggestions that 90% of Thais don’t want foreigners back have their roots in virus resurgence jitters. It’s not xenophobia manifesting itself, just a general fear that can be seen the world over."
1459 Thais are hardly a statistical manifestation of anything.

I really hate to be a wet blanket ,but most retiries here are native British people who claim nothing from the Thai govt ,are given nothing by the Thai govt and paid into the British system all their lives , so our hopes of getting anything from the British govt are nil.
now if we were all ex immigrants to Britain and of different faiths or colours there would be mayhem in the streets of the UK about "our rights"
sorry if that sounds any sort of racism or whatever ,but in your hearts you know its true.
I believe that this issue has been rejected several times by Parliament and even by the International Court.

We can, I think, be forgiven for concluding that the witnessing requirements have been deliberately engineered so that, in practice, only those with a minimal (at best) grasp of the English language here in Thailand can perform this onerous responsibility if done properly*. Yet DWP, for reasons best known only unto themselves, steadfastly refuse to provide Thai-language versions of the witnessing forms to assist us and our witnessers in this task.
* By which I mean if performed literally face-to-face with your witnesser rather than remotely by snail mail with a Thaivisa member falling within the eligible witnessing categories - a service which 1 or 2 of whom on here have offered providing.
Apparently, DWP's rationale for these onerous witnessing requirements is that they are identical to those required for new passport applications. As if life certificates had the same intrinsic value as passports - really??
And then they insist on witnessed life certificates being returned to them in hard copy form by snail mail by a specified deadline - which, if missed by even a nanosecond, will result in the plug being immediately pulled on your State Pension payments!
About 6 months ago my occupational pension provider requested a similar life certificate - for which I got my mother-in-law to perform the witnessing honours (which, despite her lack of grasp of the English language, she was happy to do without the need for any long-winded explanation) and which I subsequently scanned and returned by email with no further problem. So why on earth can't DWP make the witnessing process similarly straightforward for State Pension life certificates - particularly since the amounts involved with our (perpetually frozen) State Pensions tend to be considerably less than those involved with our occupational pensions?
The last letter I got asking to confirm my existence took 12 weeks to arrive, but wanted a confirmation within 8 weeks!
Cockroaches - do I have the solution ?
