News Forum - Travellers will still have to wear face masks post-endemic phase in Thailand
You forgot the part where it said that very few are wearing them every time they shop. Isn't that a good example of polling exactly the right people you need to justify what you stand for in your poll? -

News Forum - Ukraine’s Zelensky defies Russia’s ultimatum to lay down weapons
It's an option, personally I don't think it's a great one but it might work. You could easily drive the Russian naval ships back, but I don't think that really opens up the blockade. It still comes down to are the Russians willing to snatch up ships in international waters or shoot at them if needed. I think both answers to that are yes. Now if you could pick off a few of those Russian frigates, it makes going though the exercise worth it. Unsurprisingly Ukraine is asking for more long distance weapons than just the anti-ship missiles: Pelosi and Crow relayed Zelenskyy’s weapon requests to Biden and Defense Department officials during a meeting at the White House last week. Crow said multiple launch rocket systems would help defend major Ukrainian metropolitan centers from Russian advances while bolstering offensive operations in Donbas and Luhansk. He also noted Zelenskyy has asked for “more sophisticated intelligence and surveillance drones as well as attack drones that can be reused multiple times instead of the Kamikaze drones we’ve given them.” Here are the high-end weapons Zelenskyy hopes the new Ukraine aid bill will provide (yahoo.com) They specifically want US made MLRS rocket systems. Either the US tracked M270 or wheeled M142, pretty sure they are not too picky on either one. The US has been hesitant of late because they are afraid Ukraine will use them to hit targets inside Russia and widen the war. However I have a feeling they will get them (had thought they already did, but I guess not) as they are excellent long range weapon systems. Exactly what Ukraine needs. They also want Reaper and Predator drones. Of course the problem is the same as above. It will be interesting to see if Ukraine gets Harpoon or Navel Strike Missile. The reason being, with the NSM it actually has the ability to hit ships docked in Sevastopol (read subs!). -

News Forum - BREAKING: Bars reopening in Thailand’s “Green” and “Blue” Zones, changes to Thailand Pass
My prediction is Thai pass will never go away for foreigners. The airlines aren’t going to collect the new tourist fee. But they don’t need the airlines! Just add a nice little credit card feature and voila.- 1

News Forum - Love drugs found in hotel of Aussie man who plunged to his death
Cropped photo of the top half of the hotel against the backdrop of the sky and clouds, even though this guy's room wasn't that high. Focusing on the utterly irrelevant point that Viagra was found in his room, as the hook headline for the article. Come on, Thaiger, these digital nomad clowns you rely on to fill the white space, make you look like a cheap tabloid rag.
