[The Joy of Having Dogs]

My Thai neighbours had a <deleted>zu which thought he was Hulk Hogan...since the neighbour never walked that dog we did it daily but that tiny <deleted>zu started fights with EVERY other dog, even huge huskies and malamuts....

 

Many times i had the thought to let him go against a big dog to learn his lesson but i always stopped him....after a month it even got manners and stopped fighting other dogs.

 

Myself i will never buy a dog in Thailand, if something like now happens when they won't let me into the country the dog would have to suffer from it. Also now the air is so bad that we don't want to go out for a walk.

Me and my wife are willing to leave Thailand forever....i had big problems to get yearly visa's but managed to jump all the hoops...now Thailand won't let me in to extend the visa..add the pollution to that, the high baht, the always changing rules....i'm DONE with it and know better places to go to.

Good idea. It must be very difficult for the authorities to find a fire. I mean, it’s not as if it gives off a load of smoke and glows bright orange at night. 

Yes, also on the firemap it's very hard to find the fires....https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/#t:adv;d:2020-01-16..2020-01-17;@102.1,11.1,5z

Interesting to see these results, now as the land of purity Thailand eventually is starting to do some mass testing.

 

No need to panic too much, though. Thailand is in a lucky situation due to its climate. Thanks to the hot climate, people are either outdoors where the concentration of the virus loaded aerosols is low, as the dwell time of droplets and aerosols in the air is short.

 

Or they are indoors with an AC switched on, and the AC reduces aerosols and droplets in the air as well, leading also to low virus concentrations in the inhaled air. This low virus load statistically leads to mostly weak or asymptomatic cases. 

 

The outcome never will reach the level as northern countries experience during the wet and cold winter there.

 

Quite likely that what they are seeing now has been the situation for quite a while already, but due to not testing nobody saw it.

 

Normally aerosols fly 1 meter so we keep 1.5 meter distance...but a fan or aircon can blow them further so in airconditioned rooms you better keep more distance.
