Addiction is possibly related to availability

If only they'd invited a dopey foreigner, no drama him pay.

Friend's wife confused the hell out of everyone when she proclaimed " him hab Ann Summers". Took a while to deduce that she'd heard the word Alzheimer's somewhere......!

Or, if Thai, just keep the local police on-side and no-one will complain.

Where's a "Pooyai Baan" when you need one ?

Was it "buy one pair - get one free" in the gym shoes dept at your local mall ? And, more to the point, what's my mother on law doing there "

Which "numbers" exactly ? Personally. I don't believe they had any possible way of correlating the figures of arrivals under the scheme with those that actually undertook the 2nd test or not.

Measures aimed simply both at pacifying their xenophobia and partially appeasing the tourism industry. Half-ar&ed at best.

I'm not advocating dis-obedience ! My contention being: how exactly is it going to be discovered ? I ask this, as a friend who very recently arrived under the scheme, said that, when asked, his BKK hotel had" no idea whatsoever " about what he should to about this 2nd test. Personally I think Test & Go is a dead duck simply because it's realised now that it just can't be implemented as intended. Whether they honour existing approvals is likely more dependent on whether or not they consider the number too large to accept, given the obvious monitoring faults with it.

Seems to be a "conscience" issue....rather like an "honesty" box on a golf course. Don't take the test and there's seemingly no follow up or accountability. Take it. and if it's unfortunately positive. it opens up a can of worms for all concerned as in the Koh Chang saga.

End of T & G but open sandboxes on the mainland ? The only difference being that it should be viable to trace Sandbox people after the 5 day test, which through short-sightedness/incompetence, they seem otherwise unable to do with any degree of confidence. However there will be no restrictions on anyone else entering or leaving the Sandbox (ie Krabi Province) and mixing with the Sand-baggers. potentially trading viruses.

Long haul tourists won't notice the increase in air fare. Budget airlines and their passengers within the Asean Region will certainly be affected, Article states all international arrivals, but how (or will) it apply to land or sea arrivals ?

Why is his face blurred out here, making him look aggressive, yet not in the linked "full story" . He looks like a decent chap in that one !

You are aware though, that you should probably wear a mask. aren't you ?????

His wife told him to find a way to make their money go further.

The same mentality in action when pulling out in front of you, when there's nothing behind you for 5 kms. Can't wait or don't think...or both.

Whenever I'm asked what I think is the most dangerous place to be in Thailand, that is always my reply !

Poverty certainly in some cases. The family living opposite me, however, have 2 cars and 2 young children and yet choose to take them to school on a motorbike. This involves a U- turn on a 4 lane highway also. I don't like to see it, but as the wife says "up to them".

Police are now actively looking for the motorcyclist to charge him with a traffic offence.

That'll be Big Dave then, the absent-minded Tranny. '

Guess that the police will first check the legality of her status/employment in the country. A sniff of the bt200 K should be enough to start with.

Hope we see pictures of them pointing at where it sank.....

Shame....but they wouldn't let me on the plane with my chainsaw !????

Exactly, and especially now that the T &G Program has been shelved, as much as anything because of the implementation/admin issues. Immigration are not normally interested/concerned with your insurance or vax status, only the details in your passport.

Shared the same minivan perhaps....or contracted it at the hotel. Curiously this hotel appears not to have been publicly named !
