Strange that we're still waiting for the outbreak of Covid19 from China, eh? Perhaps those who forecast it in all seriousness could advise?

Don’t forget the deadly new strains they were going bring with them. Guaranteed to lain waste to millions of unwitting Thais.

How would you know for certain if the infections were related? If you were to respond  with by observing the number of reported cases and genome mapping, I would agree. Thailand hasn't been collecting the data. What we do know is that Omicron cases now dominate the type of infections. If one doesn't collect the specific data, one does not have the data to draw conclusions. Is it any different than water quality surveillance at the tourist beaches? If you don't do water assays, then you don't have to report that  the waters are contaminated with feces.

Show and tell. Ah Thailand the land where Halloween can be everyday as long as you don't dress like a student and abide by the anti desecration clothes police. Just hope those gals don't start using green Curry as a sexual arousal play tool.

Sorry mate, but a cheap shot.  You know that time will tell all. 

As Thailand now fails to check for instances of Covid (as do many countries now) how in bloody hell would anyone be wiser.

Just like trying Korean Hanbok and Japanese Kimono....long queues to dress up and take photos.

Chinese are crazy with everything.

 

I think Thai traditional dress is really nice as it hugs the body and accentuates the curves nicely of females.

Looks great on hot Thai or Asian gals and actually ok on normal looking ones, but a bit dorky on males, especially white males. I have seen quite a few wedding pictures of white males who after or just before getting married go do photo shoots dressed up in the Thai garb which usually has a head piece as well, and to me this is cringe worthy at best. Good thing this new fad is only a female thing.
