[Six million Thai senior citizens still not boosted against COVID-19]

What I have heard they're worried that old people will die if they take the vaccine.

[What risk to Thailand as monkeypox spreads across the world?]

With around 10,000 people dying per year from TB they should probably worry more about that.
P.s good reason to continue wearing a face mask especially in Taxis.

Haha nothing done in the past 5 years but with elections coming soon lets look like we care a bit.
Does he think he really think he will last until 2050?

[SCB deny customer data leaked to dark web - bank go after posters of fake news]

Funny my friend never used their Credit Card but got hit for 70K from outside Thailand

how did they get their CC info there must have been some kind of leak?

[Nov 1st: Quarantine free countries named - one night must be in SHA+ or AQ hotel - curfew lifted, bars stay shut]

Nice marketing trick calling it "QUARANTINE FREE" when your still have to do 1 Day Quarantine so it's not really.

[Thammanat says ruling party deeply unpopular; must prepare for elections]

Maybe he's got eyes on the PM's position or perhaps support Prawit for it.

[Reopening delayed to Nov 1st - music may be allowed in restaurants, but only early evening]

This was always gonna happen and on the 1st November it will be delayed until 1st December, then 1st January etc. etc.

Until the population is at least 70% fully vaccinated there's not even any point to talk about opening up and they know it but still make promises they know they won't keep just to keep em happy for a while. Lying is deemed OK in Thailand if it's seen to be for the greater good or saves face.

[Selling land to foreigners is not treasonous - it's economic sense: Prayuth]

They sould just limit the amount of land a foreigner can buy to like 200-400 Sqw per person
if it's unlimited of course the Chinese and Rich foreigners will cone and buy it all up.
They already are by using Nominees.

[No decision on State of Emergency yet, CCSA may remain – Deputy Government Spokesperson]

Can't see them not extending the State Of Emergency unless the Communicable Diseases Act

has been changed to STOP Street Protests.

[Sinovac has one big advantage over other vaccines, official says]

They ordered the first Chinese Sinovac vaccines last in November before even WHO approval at $17 a shot and they were instantly approved by FDA.

They didn't order other western vaccines until a few months ago had they ordered other vaccines at the same time they would have arrived already.
Private hospitals were supposed to order western vaccines but were blocked by the FDA and red tape.

[Thailand’s anti-graft body ordered to reveal its findings on DPM Prawit’s wristwatch scandal]

Wow maybe hopefuly they'll disclose the assets of the PM and Wissanua without having to go to Court for it.

[Warning from Pattaya hotel industry boss of a Chinese takeover, loss of income to the economy]

Might be related topic below.

From what I've heard China's been buying up a lot of land in company name as well.

Won't be long before Asean becomes China-ASEAN.

 

[Thailand’s Deputy Agriculture Minister Thammanat leaves his ministerial position, debate over if he resigned or was fired]

The Monkey feeder must have done something very very bad for this.

He has more than 50 Monkeys in his care and could easily take em with him.
He hasn't quit the party yet though I think they might makeup soon with the right incentives.

[Digital Ministry urges agencies, firms to step up cybersecurity protection]

Were they really Cyber Attacks or did they just leave the data online in the cloud for the taking?
Like they did with that Covid Registration website.
Block port 3306 from outside access that might help.

[Thailand reports 16,031 COVID-19 cases, 220 deaths]

I believe it is now at 15.6%

It's bound to go up a little everyday but still no where near enough even 20% isn't enough.
Let's not forget half of them were vaccinated with Sinovac which is pretty useless against the Delta variant did they already receive a 3rd booster shot?
 

[The never-ending struggle against the drug trade in Thailand and the culture of impunity around it]

There must be someone powerful organizing those drug smuggling logistics.

Is it a coincidence one of the most powerful men in Thailand is a convicted drug smuggler?
Is it also a coincidence most of the drugs are being shipped to Australia?
 

[Thailand reports 16,031 COVID-19 cases, 220 deaths]

With only 11% of the population fully vaccinated I am not surprised.
With Thailand being so reliant on Tourism they should have been one of the World leaders in vaccinating.

That's all the country needs these days: A drug dealer PM.

 

 

Well this is Thailand everything's possible those Salim in power don't care what the population think

they will put the man in power offering the most benefits. I heard the question asked if Thammanat could have led

this rebellion without Prawit's blessing I think the answer is a resounding no.

[Ex-police chief ‘Joe Ferrari’ has 600 MILLION baht in assets]

Cops get like 30-50% commission on every bust they make and he seized something like 600 luxury cars so its possible

same with tickets that's why they do it but its crazy they get so much commission.

[Thailand reports 13,821 new COVID-19 cases and 241 more deaths]

With only 12% of the populations fully vaccinated and opening up the Country you would logicly

expect numbers to increase not decrease. Something Fishy going on?

[Thailand’s Covid-19 Administration to meet this Friday about possibly eliminating the emergency decree and to review Covid-19 restrictions]

The Emergency Decree SOE is the main tool being used against Street protesters so I can't see it not being extended. Course they know with only 12% of the population fully vaccinated and opening up the country infections will likely increase not decrease. I wonder if this is more a political threat as they wouldn't be able to crack down on student protesters.

 

 

[Thailand reports declining COVID-19 cases for the 4th consecutive day]

Lets hope these numbers are true and not just a ploy to make the government look good and tame public opinion just before the censure debate.
Dropping numbers could also get them back on the UK's amber list but as the British Embassy said they also need to share data for that.

[DPM Prawit calls for serious action against fake news]

How come he has so much power when he didn't even get 1 single public vote in the last election.
Same goes for his boss of course.
Mmm wonder what make that watch is he's wearing another Casio lol.

 

 

[Nattawut “announces movement” against Prayut online]

He's been fighting against the very same bunch since before 2010 and knows unfortunately they won't go down without a fight.
