[Thailand reports new daily record of 57 coronavirus deaths; 5,533 new cases]

Just now, Misty said:

You may well be right that they (decision makers) simply don't care.  Or perhaps they're under tremendous pressure to get the economy going somehow from elite business-owners who are already fully vaccinated and don't understand or care about the hurdles involved. 

 

 

You may find that elite business is not affected by lockdowns, it are the small businesses that are affected.

 

The other day I read a report on Yahoo finance, and there was said the same. Big businesses had done a roaring trade during the corona lockdowns in the US, while smaller businesses had struggled to keep their head above water, and many had gone under.

As far as I'm aware AZ vaccinations started at 7 June in Thailand, and there is 12 weeks between first and second jab.

 

So how did you get your second jab?

It can be very close. I just compared WISE with Schwab to Kasikorn (almost always .17 below Mid market rate at XE.com) and Schwab comes out ahead by 142 baht for $50K US. The big difference is whan rates are moving quickly, WISE locks you in...and with SWIFT you might get better or worse depending on when the xfer hits your Thai bank and whatever the rate is at that moment. You have about 24 hours of uncertainty.

 

With Wise you get currently 32.13 for a dollar, minus the fees, but with Kasikorn you get only 31.87.

 

Are there no intermediary bank fees when you send with Swab

Transferwise exchange rate is definitely better as it follows the market exchange rate quite closely.

 

https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=THB&view=1Y

 

Of course, you must also compare their service charge.

 

I have compared Wise with Swift to Kasikorn, for 300.000 Euro, and however you can do maximum 50K Euro per transfer with wise, you are still way ahead.

In any event completely inaccurate and misleading post from you.

 

Try to open your eyes for one time.

 

My reply was a reply to a now removed post, who tried to ridicule my post where I said "Only in Thailand, you have to pay upfront for a vaccine", by claiming that in Australia you had to pay upfront to see a doctor.

 

I rejected that claim with my post, using sarcasm, which clearly went over your head.

So your water runoff is blocked.

Cesspit is supposed to be full of water up to the runoff pipe/outlet.

Emptying the cesspit will not clear the blocked runoff.

 

I don't know Scouse's setup, but not all cesspit's have a runoff pipe.

 

I have 3 plastic septic tanks. Each tank has the liquid overflowing in what I call a seeping tank, which consists of a number of concrete rings with a lid but no bottom, so the liquid just seeps into the ground.

 

I think important is also that the seeping tank has an air vent, at least mine have

Either the Chinese vaccine was substandard, or Thai health officials don't know what a thermometer is

 

Go to any supermarket in Thailand, and you will often notice complete pallets of frozen food stored in front of the freezers, until they are completely tawed, before they get loaded in the freezer.

 

That is what you see, what you don't see is how many times the same food as been tawed between the factory where they were produced and the freezer in your supermarket.

 

Why you think it is different in this case?

It is believed to be caused by the vaccine being stored at an inappropriate temperature, according to Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration (TFDA).

 

So how many of the vaccines have in reality been stored at an inappropriate temperature, and rendered useless, that didn't turn into gel yet.

 

Very unlikely that it were just 100 vials, but more likely a complete delivery

[Transfer money international using crypto]

Oh my god, now I really need urgent help with Bitcoin ????

 

Greetings!

I have to share bad news with you.
Approximately few months ago I have gained access to your devices, which you use for internet browsing.
After that, I have started tracking your internet activities.

Here is the sequence of events:
Some time ago I have purchased access to email accounts from hackers (nowadays, it is quite simple to purchase such thing online).
Obviously, I have easily managed to log in to your email account

One week later, I have already installed Trojan virus to Operating Systems of all the devices that you use to access your email.
In fact, it was not really hard at all (since you were following the links from your inbox emails).
All ingenious is simple. ????

This software provides me with access to all the controllers of your devices (e.g., your microphone, video camera and keyboard).
I have downloaded all your information, data, photos, web browsing history to my servers.
I have access to all your messengers, social networks, emails, chat history and contacts list.
My virus continuously refreshes the signatures (it is driver-based), and hence remains invisible for antivirus software.

Likewise, I guess by now you understand why I have stayed undetected until this letter...

While gathering information about you, I have discovered that you are a big fan of adult websites.
You really love visiting porn websites and watching exciting videos, while enduring an enormous amount of pleasure.
Well, I have managed to record a number of your dirty scenes and montaged a few videos, which show the way you masturbate and reach orgasms.

If you have doubts, I can make a few clicks of my mouse and all your videos will be shared to your friends, colleagues and relatives.
I have also no issue at all to make them available for public access.
I guess, you really don't want that to happen, considering the specificity of the videos you like to watch, (you perfectly know what I mean) it will cause a true catastrophe for you.

Let's settle it this way:
You transfer $1650 USD to me (in bitcoin equivalent according to the exchange rate at the moment of funds transfer), and once the transfer is received, I will delete all this dirty stuff right away.
After that we will forget about each other. I also promise to deactivate and delete all the harmful software from your devices. Trust me, I keep my word.

This is a fair deal and the price is quite low, considering that I have been checking out your profile and traffic for some time by now.
In case, if you don't know how to purchase and transfer the bitcoins - you can use any modern search engine.

Here is my bitcoin wallet: 1KETRZDKH5UNdDiJ5UPm4c7ZqiEVQ5zMPb

You have less than 48 hours from the moment you opened this email (precisely 2 days).

Things you need to avoid from doing:
*Do not reply me (I have created this email inside your inbox and generated the return address).
*Do not try to contact police and other security services. In addition, forget about telling this to you friends. If I discover that (as you can see, it is really not so hard, considering that I control all your systems) - your video will be shared to public right away.
*Don't try to find me - it is absolutely pointless. All the cryptocurrency transactions are anonymous.
*Don't try to reinstall the OS on your devices or throw them away. It is pointless as well, since all the videos have already been saved at remote servers.

Things you don't need to worry about:
*That I won't be able to receive your funds transfer.
- Don't worry, I will see it right away, once you complete the transfer, since I continuously track all your activities (my trojan virus has got a remote-control feature, something like TeamViewer).
*That I will share your videos anyway after you complete the funds transfer.
- Trust me, I have no point to continue creating troubles in your life. If I really wanted that, I would do it long time ago!

Everything will be done in a fair manner!

One more thing... Don't get caught in similar kind of situations anymore in future!
My advice - keep changing all your passwords on a frequent basis
