IF they do allow gay marriage, which I doubt they will. They may do as Taiwan does - only allowing marriage between people from countries in which it is legal.

I arrive on Sunday, September 28th. I'm unvaccinated but had a 72 hour pcr test. Nobody asked for my test, not at departure or arrival in BK. Passport control was effortless and quick. In fact, it was easier than '19 as I wasn't expected to fill out an arrival card.

What is the logic behind a 12 o'clock closure time; is covid more infectious after 12?

Maybe do some research homework before you start writing. Generalisation is boring and lazy. I've lived in Thailand for more than 4 years and I've never met anyone that cared much about being called or labeled as farang. Also, what are all these racially charged words invented and used mostly by farangs? Most groups of people have derogatory words for groups that are different from their own, but in the west (unlike many Asian countries that I've been to) words like that are not acceptable in normal conversation. Your opinion of both Western society and farang in Thailand doesn't seem to be shaped by real-life experience.

Statistically you are more likely (I think around 80+%) to die from covid if you are obese, suffer from hypertension or heart disease. So you are correct about natural selection, but it will not be based on whether you believed in the vaccine or not, it will be based on how well you've looked after your own health in the past.

The point is this. If the vaccine is effective then those that had been vaccinated have nothing to worry about. If I or anyone else want to take our chances with the virus rather than the vaccine, then that is our choice. We don't need a parent to hold our hands. If the vaccine is not effective, then why are you taking it and trying to convince others to do so?

Replace anti vaxxers with blacks, go back 40 years and you have apartheid South Africa. The white population never hated blacks. With the help of media censorship and propaganda, they were lead to believe that their lives and the livelihoods were in danger. This tactic had been used many times in the past. 'Anti vaxxers' are not selfish, dangerous, stupid or uninformed. They see the same picture as you but from a different angle. Their ideas and believe are not wrong, just different from yours. If the subject of contention changes to something else, you, your family and your friends may find yourselves on the side of the persecuted next time around. For now, you are on the same side as Verwoerd. Has it occurred to you that you are standing on the side of dishonest, power hungry governments and corrupt pharmaceutical companies, willing to turn against everyday people. Has the sum of your life experiences really brought you only this far?
