  1. Thai National service

     

     My Thai wife has been with me in UK for 10 years, and has UK citizenship and passport.  So has my stepson that came to UK six years ago from Thailand and also has UK citizenship and passport. Now he is joining the UK army cadets and is hoping to apply later for UK army service.

     

    My wife has been told however by the ( lady uk Thai expats website), that if  he goes back to Thailand he can still be consctripted to join the Thai Army!..  So if someone could please tell me that at some future date when he is say 21 years old and visiting Thailand he could be made to do his Thai National service even if he is in the British army.  Or is there some agreement that the Thai & UK goverment.

    I would appreciate some information on this as the cadet leader has been phoning my wife about this as he is not sure of this.

  2. Shouting over loud music or even the general noise level of a drinking establishment will enable small particles from your mouth to spread far more than is normal. Also it is a known drug to make people more touchy feely and want to be closer to others like many other drugs do.

    Early on UK, the government shut the pubs at 21.00.  So folks went home to continue drinking with thier friends after this. So very probable it made little difference to the spread of covid. They had to have proper lockdown before the virus rate slowed down enough.

     

    So yes its not the drug so much, as the social effects.

  3. Statistically, taking the vaccine is the best bet by far. Getting the virus without the vaccine seems a highly possible anyway.  If you go along with anti vaccine views, looks like you are taking a bigger chance of not only getting an infection but increasing the chances of every one else getting it

    The argument of the measles anti vaccine folks is that it isn't usually serious enough to cause death.  Same with this virus but much more of a chance of fatality or long lasting damage

    Stay safe, wash hands, wear masks, not just for yourself but everybody. Try to follow these rules when your out socialising.  Also we all know how we like to get overfriendly after a few drinks, so bear that in mind as well.
