I always wonder who TAT is trying to impress, with the never ending posts of potential festival/celebration income being flogged. Me? You? The local som tam vendor? A heads up to the local constabulary to get cracking with their roadside....donation drives?

Selling for 40 baht a bag, three pairs of donuts along with a condensed milk sauce are provided in each order. The operation has reported selling as many as 1,000 orders a day
40K per day. Nice little side gig to have beside your neighborhood lemonade stand. Question is, how long would it take the existing Thai Air "operation specialists", to pick the daily donut sales till clean?

Any suggestions for decent brand of semi gloss or satin for a high humidity bathroom. They gunk that I bought 2 years ago, has failed miserably.

"The Phuket Tourist Association has invited ambassadors and consulate officials from 28 countries to visit the island for three days in November"
Well there you go. Local ambassadors and consulate officials have incredible influence over pandemic tourism initiatives .....or........something.

Covid self isolation and vegemite....bad combination

TAT will have to encourage a few (maybe many) more temples to be built, to attract quality, high net worth tourists. Free temple buffets and curbside tp dispensers will seal the deal for the coveted tourists they seek. ????

China has not opened up foreign travel to the general population. These 120 guests from China must be above just connected. High speed train, submarine, automotive, copper, real-estate, gold dealers? The first 120 tourists from your biggest threat or biggest investors?

I've had it for exactly a week. Seems to be starting to break a bit...coughing, sneezing, strangely snotty nose, sinus' a mess. Coughed and sneezed so intensely a few times, I thought I gave myself a hernia.

For a change of pace, I took the train into Bangkok from KK, from Bangkok to KL (Malaysian border). Bangkok to Malaysian border was a nice trip in a sleeper. Enough stops and scenery to keep things interesting, food/snack car was adequate for the length of the trip, sleeper was ...a sleeper. I'm sure there's many reviews of the trip. Relatively cheap, all things considered.

"they got paid around Bt80,000 per month". Nice work...how much goes to the "agents" and how much goes into the pockets of the fieldworkers?

I would ask a couple of reputable interior designers/architects if they have, or know decent a crew looking for work. It's not like back home, where a painter has been through an apprenticeship or "licensed". If a reputable interior person/specialist hires someone, it's probably a solid team (protecting their reputation)...

Yeah, but you and your partner were wearing your mask's, so you'll survive another day.

Every nook and cranny exploited. Unbelievable, bizarre or par for the course? You have to admit, very creative on all fronts...

They are in barracks in Bangkok being polished to death just waioting for the right time and place to meet the real terrorists in Thailand. The student revolutionaries.
Probably...seriously though, you'd think at least an (1) APC in a small convoy would send a message and protect a few of the cannon fodder sent to patrol.

What happened to all the APC's and tanks that were received? Wouldn't that make for a safer military convoy?

A garden hose or spray bottle at the ready, for the stray cats and/or the cat lady. The pepper idea sounds good too. Nothing a dog likes more, than a bowl of cat food... Plenty of non violent fun to be had...
I'm not a cat lover, but I would be choked if I was defending myself of charges of X and my next visa extension, because of "The Cat Lady"

Obviously. Invite your closest buddies to take advantage of distressed businesses and property. I would invite private jets filled with millionaires though....oh wait, already taken care of. Let the fire sales begin!!! ☠️

I'm having a hard time grasping the van driver lost control. I'd bet he was cutting a corner.
I think they're blaming the car driver. "Thanaphon had been going from Mukdahan to Don Tan and lost control of his vehicle at a bend".
Dead men don't tell lies...

Not sure if you can see whole image, please let me know if you cant.
Type in to Google the following
kunpoh coffee roasterNot sure where you live whether it is North or South of Khon Kaen, let me know and I can give you directions.
It's a bit set back from the main road so can be easy to miss.
I don't have my own transport so travel to KK by train or bus.
The owner speaks little English. Normally they are closed Saturday and Sunday. Not sure of opening time but in afternoon they close around 5pm latest.
Laid back place, very pleasant people, have a number of regulars, the owners still learning etiquette of coffee drinking e.g. cool water before drinking black coffee ( served now though not previously ) still don't provide plain tea with cuppuccino, have only a few cakes and biscuits no other food.
The coffees however are excellent.Thanks for the tip. I'm always on the hunt for good/interesting coffee, especially up this way (closer to Kalasin than KK). I'm in KK quite often and can ask around. Even better knowing the vendor is a roaster.
Thanks again!

I'm trying to imagine what the dufus had to say, while he pointed the gun and shocked the sheet out of the poor 7-11 clerk. ....do you know who I am, do you know who my dad is, how dare you hurt my feelings?

Does anyone have the factual reason why Thai's are the majority of infected CV19 cases returning? I could belt out my unqualified, albeit obvious answer, but that would offend the apologists.

If anyone lives near Banphai in Khon Kaen province I can give you directions to a wonderful "real" coffee shop, the owner of which is number 9 in Thai coffee. He produces his own roasted blends of coffee from countries including Thailand, Honduras, Guatemala etc.
What's the name of the shop? Sounds interesting

The Mrs and I will be taking advantage of the closed borders to enjoy a quiet high-season touring Thailand - but - Phuket? Not on our itinerary. I imagine those business which are over-priced to begin with and those who ran scams in the past targeting foreigners will simply be even hungrier than ever. Why dip a toe in those waters as typical Thai behavior is to raise prices when business turns bad. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyone living there, let us know if the price of a beer drops at your favorite watering hole or the price of food drops at your favorite restaurant during the border closures.
As usual the Mrs and I will bypass the tourism locations that used to cater to foreigners and head to those on the paths less travelled. I just let the Mrs do the negotiating on prices and packages and limit my activity to chauffeuring. It should be fun!Visa extension denied.....next.
Kidding.
The exploring of paths less travelled and experiencing a more intimate adventure, sounds like the game plan for most
