A friend of mine from the US came and tested positive.

He has 2 Pfizer's and a booster in the US.  Negative test on the flight out.

He demanded to get another test and was told by the doctor,

sure he can have as many as he pays for. He can have 10, they can

all be negative. BUT, the first one was positive and that's the one that counts.

Wasted 7 days of his holiday, wasn't happy.

That is rather shocking. These tests are not 100% accurate. There is a well established false positive rate, assuming all the protocols are followed precisely (a dubious assumption). It could typically be 0.5% or more false positives. Why is this information no published and taken into consideration?

Durian only grows well in certain areas with abundant rainfall and rich soil. It doesn't do well in areas with a long dry season. If planted in an area that's not suitable, durian requires a lot of work to keep the tree alive, and yields are low.

Yes. I know you are talking about Thailand here, but it's similar to what's happening in the USA. Now, we must understand that the Federal Reserve employs just over 400 PhD economists.

The odd thing is the way the generations have changed their attitudes. My wife's generation (all poorly educated)were all looking for a reliable husband and for 20 year she was harassed by acquaintances and relatives who all wanted to marry a "rich" farang ( all farang were believed to be rich). Our daughter's generation were better educated and wanted to combine a secure marriage with a long time employment. My grand nice (22 years old) and 2 grand daughters (18 and 14) are focussed on obtaining university degrees with the intention of obtaining a well paid career WITH A PENSION. 18 year old questions why she should endure pregnancy and caesarian section just to please a man.

How times have changed.

I am well pleased with them.

Ummm, because the future of the human race depends on it?

[Lending money to a Thai]

Don't enter into any transaction where you would need to GO TO COURT if she doesn't pay. The English strategy you want is "Sale with the right of redemption". It means she sells the land to you already, it's a done deal, it belongs to you, and the sale is canceled if she meets the terms of the contract.

 

This way, you don't need to go to court if she doesn't pay. The land is already yours. SHE needs to take you to court if you don't transfer it back as agreed after the conditions are met. And as stated above, you cannot own the land as a foreigner. I am not a lawyer.
