to find out if someone has the virus, they actually need to test for the virus in order to do that.

A Nationwide policy of free testing for everyone at every hospital, no charges no exceptions.

Would cost less than one unneeded submarine and could save the population great distress, i doubt a sub will ever do that,

Wheres the finger pointing photo with the investigation team?

Very sad situation, maybe the government could arrange some funding and perhaps a delivery of urgent supplies food etc as a hospital might expect and a relief doctor or two.

54 from the 100,000 or more being tested for free nationwide every day isnt so bad.

Maybe could convert the BMW smart cars into rapid response mobile test units, four nurses in each collecting blood samples from all the small clinic local hospital areas of Issan where folk cant get to or dont want to travel 50km or more to the nearest major hospital.

Fantastic something sensible at last..................clearly the peasants are revolting and only a few attending! 

Long live the rebellion.................. embassy letters, landlords having to attend,requiring your old school reports etc  will be but a distant memory in the new climate of compassion reason and common sense.

Within a couple of weeks immigration offices will close their doors entirely everything suspended until the pandemic is fully under control.

Not to be sarcastic, but guess some of the Elite visa haters, maybe now can see the benefit of that visa. 

Bucket loads of cash cures most problems, sometimes not health issues, in this country and allows for a fantastic life here, sadly some of us dont have that luxury.

Westerners should announce when ready Thai style we are tired with going to immigration and performing like circus animals through hoops.

OR at least a one day protest nationwide, no one, not one farang goes to any immigration office anywhere on the pre arranged one day only of non attendance.

They would certainly notice and be stunned, perfectly legal, whatever your needs with immigration simply do it before or after the one designated day of unity and protest against draconian treatment.

Wouldnt break any immigration or country laws and you could still fulfil your visa requirements the next day etc.

Just one peaceful day of nobody going to an immigration office anywhere!

The puzzled staff may well enjoy that restful nothing to do day!!

Was there this morning. Joined the line at the jomtien thani hotel at 6am. Got to the entrance gate at 8am. Always amazed at the dumbo falangs every time I go immigration. There was fighting at the gate because of line jumpers, dumbo falangs holding everything up becaue they had arrived with no documents and expected immigration to have someone to prepare everything for them. <deleted> in the line in front of me yapped on an on the whole time as to what the Thais were doing wrong and how he could manage everything so much better (t shirt, shorts, no face mask,) was turned away at the gate for the third day running,  told come back tomorrow.. how many days will he line up for hours to be turned away before the penny drops??.

 As always I was dressed respectfully, quietly kept to myself in the line, had all my paperwork well prepared, was admitted right away, was treated promply and very well by immigration staff, concluded my business and was out of there and eating breakfast at 9am.

 

How very charming of immigration, you were only exposed to NO social distancing for just the 3 hours from

6am to 9am,........perhaps you should drop them in a thank you letter and some lunch.

Free and perhaps mandatory testing and treatment for everyone including westerners at all hospitals.

What percentage of the population have actually been tested ..............a tiny amount.

Stop local doctors sending people with a persistent high temp and other ailments home with a sack of paracetamol and get them tested asap.....

 Especially officials and medical staff must stop focusing on westerners as main virus threats and realise hundreds of thousands of Thais have been exposed to the Chinese over the last few months.

its a worldwide crisis when peoples fears need to be allayed and be treated with compassion, understanding and dignity.............so of course Team Thailand will continue to excel themselves!

One month already to deal with it and the documents were ready for signing last night, but seems the fat lady has stage fright .....still clearing her throat!

Westerners should for their own health and that of the staff just stop attending crowded places in the interest of common sense and as per the request of the Thai government for social distancing.

No it has not been suspended - only talk of doing so for a limited time period.

Indeed you are correct! not until the fat lady sings who although on stage is still clearing her throat.

Give Pinocchio a large whisky, put a pen in his hand and get it done!!

Its better than nowt and the current farce, but cant see Covid resolved in a month, unless the figures have already be prepared for the next few weeks and they are also just waiting approval.

So for people on retirement or marriage visas, they can add 30 days to what ever permission to stay date they have now.

They also dont need to do 90 day reports if due in the next 30 days?
