Are you properly vaxxed up?
Hello World, it is once again Friday, and still an Emergency to be met with total Masksup.
To be more concise, today is the 125th Friday under Emergency Decree.
MONKEYPOX EXPERTS
Pure Thais advised:
Avoid sexual contact with foreigners
That is where monkeypox comes from
https://bityl.co/Dehq
This warning is by Amon Leelarasami of the Medical Council of Thailand.
That comes as 'Breaking News' to the Chakrabongse royal family and their Russian contacts, the family of Thongchai 'Bird' McIntyre and all five children of the current Dawson clan and three recent Miss Universe Thailands and about 50% of actors and singers.
Among popular recreational activities of many Thais including 50,000 Thai wives inside Thailand today is - sex with a foreigner.
My wife is still laughing.
Strangely enough
Approximately 100.0% of Thais who are not members of the Medical Council of Thailand are highly informed on the monkeypox virus and the cause of the virus and of its spread.
It is noteworthy that Thailand's coup loyalist and designated 'minister of public health' Anutin Charnvirakul is noted for his fervent belief that the coronavirus was spread in Thailand exclusively by
 Those Filthy Fu*king Farang
Who should have been kicked out of Thailand.
"These fu*king farangs. These farang tourists. The embassies should be notified and the public should be informed too."
also HEALTH also MONKEYPOX
Border checkpoints tighten screenings for monkeypox
[NOTE: 'Border checkpoints' is where f'cking farangs try to enter Thailand. And also citizens of ASEAN countries who are not Thai.]

The Truth is slow but it ekes out. For example:

MYANMAR LYNCHING
The foreign ministers of the 10-member ASEAN, absent Myanmar, are holding the annual ASEAN talkfest, this time in Cambodia - current chair of the group.
On Thursday, they discussed their tension about Taiwan - including whether West Taiwan would will order all-out war.
The ministers 'urged restraint'. Because otherwise China might launch 'open conflict'.
All nine ministers warned against "provocative action", but couldn't define their term.
As of today: A furious Beijing is planning its biggest-ever exercises around Taiwan in response to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to the self-ruled island.

And not just ASEAN

Well, that's ASEAN's opinion, and according to the ancient scribes, everyone is entitled to two things, one of which is an opinion.
But the REAL problem is that until this morning, we did not know the opinion of Henry Kissenger.

CHIANG RAIN TOURISM AIRPORT
Airport reopens as stranded Nok Air plane removed
Mae Fah Luang Chiang Rai International Airport reopens today after a damaged Nok Air plane was removed from the runway.
 The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand finished examining the runway for safety yesterday before the airport reopening.
 Chiang Rai Airport Director Squadron Leader Somchanok Tiamtiabrat said the plane’s removal was delayed due to difficulties moving it without causing more damage to the aircraft's wings.
In my email this morning from U.S. Medicare bureaucrats, and worthwhile for everyone to consider.
TRADE VIETNAM THAILAND SUGAR
Vietnam imposes 47.64% anti-dumping tax on Thai sugar for 4 years
Vietnam has slapped a four-year penalty on the Thai sugar industry.
Hanoi says none-too-sweetly that big Thai sugar firms are dumping the product - exporting to Vietnam at a price below cost.
Vietnam also claimed that Thai sugar exporters were trying to hide the source of sugar by trying to use Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia and Myanmar as trade cut-outs.

THAILAND SOUTH COMBAT REBELLION
108-day 'ceasefire' proposed
Thailand's ruling junta has proposed to the most active and most murderous separatist group in the deep South that everyone take the next 108 days off - three and a half months, and just chill.
There was no quick response from the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) insurgency group.
Junta officials, mostly army generals, flew to Kuala Lumpur for the discussions.
