  1. Pound at 1.38 USD. Should continue get stronger as the UK emerges from Covid and project fear crumbles. Expect pound to be over 45b by the end of the year.
  2. 80k farang have entered Thailand since last July. So I would guess most of those in the bars are ex-pats in Pattaya or other parts of Thailand.
  3. Less than 80k foreigners have entered Thailand since last July if these numbers are correct.
  4. The planet doesn't need a population cull, that far-left shite has been spouted for years by mentally ill sycophants and debunked that many times. https://www.acsh.org/news/2020/08/05/overpopulation-myth-new-study-predicts-population-decline-century-14953 A belief in overpopulation is factually incorrect. Humans are not cockroaches or bacteria. We do not reproduce exponentially until the food runs out. Instead, as a nation becomes richer and more developed, people naturally have fewer children, choosing to invest more of their time and resources into raising one or two children instead of ten. That's been the pattern in every rich country around the world, including the United States. Despite this, global population models often projected that humanity would continue growing well into the 22nd Century before peaking at around 11 or 12 billion people and then declining. But some demographers are starting to question this. Last year, Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson wrote a book called Empty Planet that claimed that the human population would peak and decline this century, beginning in roughly 30 years. Now, a new study confirms this view. Published in The Lancet, a study from the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation projects that the world population, which now stands at 7.8 billion, will peak in 2064 at 9.7 billion (95% CI: 8.8 billion to 10.9 billion) then fall by 2100 to 8.8 billion (95% CI: 6.8 billion to 11.8 billion). If the UN's Sustainable Development Goals are met, which include education and access to contraception, the authors project a population of 6.3 billion (95% CI: 4.8 billion to 8.7 billion) by 2100, smaller than it is today.
  5. Premier League has been abysmal this season. This is the worst Newcastle side in my lifetime and they are still far better than the bottom three, who may well be three of the worst sides to play in the PL in the last 10-15 years. The so called 'top 6' have been miles off the pace themselves, all look a shadow of years gone by. VAR and the referees seem to be grabbing more headlines that the players.
  6. I wonder if many of the girls have gone back to the provinces? The pattaya news had an article saying lots of Thais have started to pack up and go home. It's hard to know who to believe, one report says the town is busy, and the other paints a picture of a mass exodus. 🤔
  7. I believe the bars are still closed in Rayong and Bangkok which would have boosted their numbers. That's great to hear, honestly, hope it lasts as long as possible.
  8. I don't know if it's true or not but according to twitter and social media chatter, parts of Pattaya were apparently very busy over the weekend, good if true.
  9. That still won't be good enough for the butthurt remainiacs who so desperately wanted the EU to outdo the UK. Unlucky losers, the UK is winning this by a country mile. 🤣
  10. I log in for your quick wit and humourous posts. A laugh a minute. 🤣
  11. Spicey was abusive, mad and funny. I'd rather that than 90% of the other boring cunts on here.
  12. LOL you honestly believe the majority are obeying the restrictions. Maybe in your little bubble, not in the real world. 🤣 Yes, what's your point?
  13. Quite a sad little life if you let the govt decide when and where you can meet your friends and family. Pathetic really.
  14. Ah right, that makes it ok then. 'trust us we're the government'. 🤣
  15. Unless they are over 80, or clinically vulnerable with a co-morbidity, they have nothing to worry about.
  16. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-thailand/thailands-phuket-plans-private-vaccination-drive-aims-for-october-reopening-idUSKBN2A318C BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand’s resort island of Phuket is planning private coronavirus vaccinations for 250,000 residents in the hope the government will allow it to fully reopen to foreign tourists by October and save its battered economy, industry officials said. Slideshow ( 2 images ) “The people of Phuket are losing hope,” Phuket Tourism Association President, Bhummikitti Ruktaengam said, adding that the island’s economy was at its lowest point in recent history. About 10.5 million of the nearly 40 million foreign visitors to Thailand in 2019 visited Phuket. The Southeast Asian nation had only 6.7 million arrivals nationwide last year due to its coronavirus border closures. Foreign tourism revenue in Phuket dropped 78% to 87.5 million baht ($2.92 million) in 2020 with 2.1 million arrivals. At least 10 Phuket industry associations including hotel, tourism and chambers of commerce have agreed to pool resources to procure vaccines and inoculate at least 70% of the island to create sufficient immunity by Oct. 1 to receive tourists. Phuket’s population is at least 400,000 and the private vaccination drive would cover most adults before a nationwide government immunisation programme for the public starts in June. “We are in talks with three major hospital networks to procure AstraZeneca and Sinovac vaccines,” Bhummikitti said, declining to provide details. He also argued foreign tourists vaccinated abroad should not have to undergo quarantine. “They have immunity, we will have immunity,” he said. “We talk to each other through masks. The logic works.” Others in Thailand agreed. Quarantine should be relaxed or eliminated for vaccinated foreigners, chief strategy officer hotel operator Minor International Pcl, Chaiyapat Paitoon told a panel discussion. Tourism Authority of Thailand governor Yuthasak Supasorn, said a “vaccine passport” was being discussed by the country’s coronavirus taskforce. Thailand, which has recorded 21,249 coronavirus infections and 79 fatalities, will largely use 61 million locally made doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine for its immunisation drive and will use a limited number of imported ones in the early stages.
  17. Whatever happened to the crowd that were offering an 'all-inclusive' retirement package. It was something ridiculous like beer, food and accommodation etc.
  18. It would make complete sense to open a nightclub in the Buakhao/LK area with the amount of bars and footfall from hotels etc. I remember Simon of the Retox was trying to get investors together to open a nightclub before he did a moonlight
  19. Why? People are allowed to make choices over their own health and well-being, well they used to be. These virus mutations have been blown way out of proportion. There is no evidence to suggest they are more dangerous than the original variant. With the amazing news from Astra-Zeneca tonight it's high time we steam-rolled on with unlocking our society so that we can rebuild our economy, and more importantly, allowed the health service to get back to treating other more deadly diseases such as cancer etc.
  20. Allegedly she was sub-leasing the bars in the beer bar complex facing the entrance LK metro but wasn't paying the rent to the landlord. The barowners came in to open up one morning and found their stock and all their stuff had been removed from the bar. It was then the landlord told them that Pook hadn't paid him any rent in 6 months. She fled town. It's all a rumour so who knows what truth if any there is.
  21. Probably too early in the study to get conclusive results. Early results are pretty damn good. *Don't know why I can't edit posts?
