The international school in Bangkok where I work has offered a small discount on fees in term 3. I doubt there is a law saying they have to offer a discount / refund as technically the school is still operating (albeit learning online). 

What is S31? 

If I was single then a condo all the way due to its ease. 

We bought a house in one of the modern moo baans this year and it is definitely nice to have the space, although I do still miss the condo life and the secluded feeling you get being high up above the city. Even though we have a gym, pool and park / playground area in the moo baan the facilities aren't as good as you find in the new condos which is a shame.

I guess they are some of the sacrifices you have to make as there is no way we could have afforded a four bedroom condo. 

Good to see this new 'committee' is already coming out with some comedy press releases.

The rules change that often that nobody is sure what the latest rule is.

Absolutely, and I bet the police aren't really doing much to try and enforce any restrictions. 

Did Prayut himself not wish to donate? The man is himself, despite spending most of his working life in the military, a multi $ millionaire. 

As usual, a blatant lack of common decency in this country. 

No chance. 

There will be a nice deal in place to reward the big brewing companies once this lockdown ends. 

There is a coffee shop / off - license near the Lake Ratchada Complex by Asoke that were selling wine and spirits yesterday (don't know the name as my mate works near there). Managed to order 2 bottles of gin and 2 bottles of whiskey that he is bringing round at 5pm. Sadly no beers ????.

Thai airways is a microcosm of what is actually wrong with the country. 

 

 

Absolutely spot on. It epitomises a lot about this country over the last few years or more. 

This should be sent to anyone who approved this bailout, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Well, what can you expect from these charlatans.

How many more people in Thailand are wandering around without displaying symptoms!

 

 

CNN mentioned an independent study in New York on I think 4000 people found over 75% being asymptomatic.

Just where does he think tourists will be coming from in around November? Also, has he perhaps engaged his brain and thought about the risks of allowing tourists to enter the country?

He certainly doesn't look in the best of knick nowadays.

I think you'll find a hell of a lot of Thais are home already, having lost their jobs when the lockdown closed many, many workplaces, leading to massive unemployment.

Exactly. I thought they had also stopped unnecessary out of province travel. So if the authorities do their job this isn't an issue at all.

Not gonna happen

I don't mean stopping it long term. I mean I thought the government banned it until the end of April in their press release for the lockdown procedures. I didn't realise you could still fly to another province. 

Thailand has seen a steady population increase over recent weeks.

Will this continue once the lockdown ends? Absolutely no chance. It'll be back to 50 or 60 a day.
