[QUOTE=Pimpampoumpipo;2456338]OMG. I did not even know that it existed.[/QUOTE]One day when pork is gone and pigs fly. This my the norm.
[QUOTE=MonkeyPaw;2456299]Does this make me cheap?
Either I'm bored or getting cheap or both.[/QUOTE]About 7 month ago, I started to buy expiring stuff because they were marked 90% off to give to a friend. 2-5 days before expiration.
Since then, the market started marking down about 5 days before expiration at around 20%. All items are usually gone nowadays at around 30% off or 3 days before. Others are doing the same. Because most reduced items are gone and very hard to find.

Wait until we find out how many in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket and the rest of Thailand. Anybody in search of a hotel? Not sure how you will get by with social distancing and the whole different joiner or guest each night.

Should we understand that Europeans and Americans will be punished ?

Further, these are countries with low levels of Covid so that the risk is lower than Europe or elsewhere. No one should be complaining until they can demonstrate that their country has controlled the virus spread.

Today the number of deaths worldwide is 397,388 and the number of deaths reported in China is 4,634 ( approximately 1,16 % of cases). Not bad for a country of 1.3 billion people that has imprisoned the person who alerted the Chinese government to covid-19, whose WHO declared the pandemic alert 5 months later and whose statements no one believes in good faith.
And China will be among the first countries that Thailand will declare as "Countries have' manageable 'Covid-19 situations"?
China has started its grip on Asia. Everyone knows it. The problem for Thailand is that it weakens its credibility with that of China. We will see if his bet serves Thailand or not in the future. Thailand makes her choices.
Here they come with their fistfuls of cash and bad manners. Did "Red China" cease to exist with the establishment of the special economic zone in Shenzhen? The CCP did not cease to exist. They founded "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics ". Abundance and wealth was always in the psyche. After a myriad of bumps in the road they are once again hitting their stride. The only problem is the US military surrounding them with bases and allied countries.

[QUOTE=NattyBumpo;2457007]And you seriously believe the numbers reported from Communist China?[/QUOTE]It's an obvious lie. If they multiply that by 1000, I would believe it.

This used to be my favorite mongering destination and for the years it was in full swing I never visited any other Asian country, not even Thailand. There were so many thousands of beautiful Chinese ladies in barbershops, saunas and KTVs. I hate communism. With that crackdown Chinese men started venturing outside of China to monger especially to South East Asia and Germany.
All in all, it may be a good idea for the Chinese and the Koreans to go to Thailand first.

In any case, if it is to see Nana, Soi Cow Boy, soi 6, WS and massages shops closed, I prefer to stay at home.
[QUOTE=Smoothy;2457013]It's an obvious lie. If they multiply that by 1000, I would believe it.[/QUOTE]Over 4. 6 million deaths? Gee Smoothy that's a hell of a lot of bodies to get rid of without anybody knowing. How did they manage that. No doubt details are available on some alt-right website.
I was informed by my friend who lives in Thailand with his wife and family that there is a reason why there is such a low infection rate reported in Thailand. If anyone wants to get a covid test, any clinic or hospital will do it. If it comes back positive, the patient pays nothing. If it comes back negative, the patient pays 5,000 baht. So anyone with a reasonable mind will not go for testing if they have only minor symptoms which may or may not be the covid virus. Even those with serious symptoms may chose not to be tested. Therefore, with such a disincentive to be tested, the actual number of covid cases in Thailand will never really be known. The only new cases being reported are those who are returning from foreign countries like Korea or Kuwait as they are tested as they get off the planes in Bangkok.
