What makes you think that's ground beef?

The U.S. male life expectancy is low due to murders, suicides and accidents. So that if you can avoid the unusually high numbers of those 3 in America, your life expectancy will be considerably higher.

How is that going to happen? China crushed Hong Kong dissent and nobody did a thing to stop them.

I was thinking the same thing. They have small, powerful ones that can fit in your pocket.

No, it is not. I've seen worse in America. Old man hit by a car and lay in the road dying. Not only did nobody help him, 3 guys robbed him.

This is messed up politics but is this Pita guy so stupid that he is going to get disqualified for the same thing the last guy was disqualified for? He should have known not to have anything even remotely wrong with anything he is involved in so they couldn't do this to him. What could possibly have been so difficult that he couldn't SELL the shares before the deadline.

Typical elitist comment who believe they are better than other people because they are poor. You should always keep an open mind to the fact that you could be wrong.

I have a pool at my house just outside of Udon Thani and we put a roof over it and in the hot months it's perfect but a little cold in the cold months but I don't really need the pool in the cold months and it is only for a very short period of time. I can still swim okay in the cold months but the Thais cannot, they freeze. Even my granddaughter, who loves the pool, can't really go in. What I really like is, during the really hot months, when you really need the pool, the water is cool and refreshing.

Looks like enough of the service workers to hurt the industry figured out there is no benefit to travelling to tourist destinations and working for garbage wages. What I find strange is that, even with these crappy wages, Thailand is very expensive. Not to mention, most of the natural beauty of Thailand has been destroyed by too much tourism.

That's all a part of incrementalism, they'll get to it later. It's like someone mentioned CCTV. At first it was well, we'll only be putting them in very specific places for your safety. Then, well, we should put them here too now, for your safety. Then, well, we need them here too, for your safety and then before you know it, they are everywhere. Things won't change overnight, cashless payments is only the first and most important step.

I voted against but as far as Thailand is concerned there is no stopping cashless payments in Thailand. The general population in Thailand won't complain, they just don't have it in them, and the ones that do, well, they won't be able to buy anything. Thailand is not a democracy and it is not a free country so this will happen as long as the government of Thailand insists on following in the footsteps of China. Liberty and privacy has lost or is currently losing in every country around the world and people appear to, generally, be okay with it. You can see the defeat in a lot of these comments. Considering the horrific atrocities visited on humankind by governments and large corporations in history, the general acceptance is astonishing. But the acceptance is there and it is real so good luck to everybody.

Are these the new boosters? The old shots are useless.

I really like Thailand but these rankings are just flat out wrong.

Agreed. When selling land or a house I think Thais just make up the price based on how much money they dream of having someday.

On a more positive note, 0% of predictions from these alarmists come true.

The problem isn't climate change, the problem is all of these supposedly advanced countries not transitioning to clean energy in a smart and efficient way. They all are trying to kill anything driven by fossil fuels way, way before the clean energy replacement is viable. This lack of an intelligent transition plan is causing problems world wide, one of which is inflation but it is and will continue to cause more short term and long term problem because these supposedly intelligent people, not, are going to continue with there slash and burn policies with regards to fossil fuels without any intelligent transition plans to renewable energy. This incredible stupidity is going to cause a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering worldwide but the advanced economies don't really care because most of the deadly pain suffering will happen in the less developed world.

From the little details in the article it seems the parents were actually to blame for the whole fiasco. Too bad the poor kid has morons for parents.

They are already priced way out of the market they operate in. There are many, many places nicer and just as beautiful that are either the same price to much cheaper to visit and enjoy. Thailands natural beauty has been nearly completely destroyed, so I am not sure what there is to see anymore.

Of course you can get that bottle filled. We do it all of the time in Udon Thani. The one we use is in the back of a gas station. They sell the gas for cars in front and they fill the gas bottles around the back. Just Google map it, should be able to find one.

The interval between second shot of Pfizer and first booster is 5 months in America. Just a guess but I think they are going to change that soon to only 4 months.

Fines are not really enough. The only reason people stop for pedestrians in America is because they could get sued to the poor house if they hit a pedestrian or sent to prison for the better part of their life. Thais are no different from other people around the world, if the punishment is severe enough and it is actually enforced, they will stop the dangerous behavior. Anything less and this will continue. Like I always say, Thais are about 50 years behind the West with regards to many parts of their communities.

Yes, this one.

My current wife was denied for the exact same reason before we were married. The CO flat told her that and that she needed to get the correct visa, which was a fiance visa, according to him. Perhaps if we, in the U.S., bothered to enforce the immigration laws that we have this wouldn't be a problem.

In my opinion, buying an internal combustion engine vehicle from now on is a bad idea. Better to wait and buy an electric vehicle in the next 2 to 3 years. Governments around the world are going to jack gas prices up through the roof and give all kinds of incentives to go electric. Any ICE vehicle bought now will need to be replaced in 5 to 7 years due to an extremely unfriendly environment for ICE vehicles.

A lot of places have just started giving out the Moderna shots and they will take a while to get to everyone who signed up. These people didn't register late that's just the way it is. I fully understand the restrictions in say, the U.S.A. because everybody could have gotten the vaccine by now but in Thailand that is just not true and would be completely unfair. Think of it this way, if those Pfizer doses hadn't been donated to Thailand with the stipulation that x number go to foreigners a whole lot of you all on this forum would not have gotten vaccinated either.
