Good, but i am more interested in the government official in from my town that went to bangkokto visit his parents, contracted covid came back and gave it too his wife (teacher at my youngest daughters school) daughter (in nursery at same school) and his other daughter (in same high school as my eldest daughter). 

Also he lied to hospital staff when went there to get his perscription for his diabetes meds even though he was symptomatic. Him and his family got sent to quarantine in korat. Not a single child has been tested they were all just sent home and told to self isolate for 14 days, but dont worry the teachers have all been tested and are all negative

He must have drank whyskey with friends also, maybe the whyskey tricks the virus to not spread.

It's a common refrain. and there are those who have sung it in respect of the illegal drugs industry in many countries. The problem is that once one source of revenue is closed, the mafiosi manufacture another, and so the cycle is perpetuated.

 

And we all know who the mafiosi are in Thailand.

The mafiosi will run casino's anyway legal or not. 

What you will see is more debt, crime and poverty. 

And not to forget about money lenders, extortion and good old- 'shootings

Thai prime minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has urged the health authorities to conduct a fast Covid-19 vaccine rollout. 

 

Yet health minister Anutin Charnvirakul admitted one of the vaccines won't arrive in Thailand until JUNE. 

 

There was also no mention of the word "foreigners" in the Daily News report - just Thai people. 

 

Why would these dirty foreigners need anything that was created by other foreigners? 

 

    Can't you smell the smell? BTW, I do not even want their vaccine. 

He did mention that over 60,s would have priority, then the over 60s should be very weary as 13 old people have died after being given the Pfizer vaccine so far. 

However, officials are down playing the deaths, and blaming it on the elderly for having health issues before they were vaccinated. 

Sorry thing is, they never tested the vaccine on the elderly.

How about 500 baht in entry and free health care for all tourists - I think we'd all be happy with that

That's what I said on a earlier post. 

I would be prepared to pay 1000 Bht, that's only 50 dollars NZ, that should solve the insurance problem and some. 

The sooner they incorporate an entry fee that covers every foreign entry the better.

1kBht is not a high price to pay and would be more simple than trying to find cover from all of these insurance companies. 

It would also give the health system a boost, and have money left over to improve tourism. 

The problem is how it would be managed.

but what happens when you re enter after your 90 day stay / border run , your going to have new covid insurance again ? which will have to  cover you every time you re enter Thailand , so all in all 1 years covid insurance  ?

I don't think border runs are possible, maybe you can get an extension at your local immigration office.

May I ask why they are not treated in hospitals instead of home care if they have breathing difficulties?

 

Don't Thais have free Healthcare when it's about covid-19? 

Interesting question as my mother in law has a yellow card and she's 76 so I wonder what would happen if she got covid, anyone know? I'm stuck in NZ at present looks like I might be here a lot longer, cheers.

Testing will tell the truth, but it appears they want to make it go away without testing anyone who will not show symptoms or they can not find through track and tracing.

I think officially that many cases are listed as flew. And deaths are from pneumonia.

The headline really needed to say Foreigners.  Talking about offensive, especially when Thai were also arrested.

Yes most believe foreigners to be filthy farang that spread covid.

But these were clean, showered Chinese gamblers mainly, reported as overstayers, my bet is that you will not hear of them again. 

Note most wearing black T shirts, might be the Black Shirt Gambling Club.

I'm sure the PM is rubbing his hands in glee by now seeing the fruits of his labor trying to eradicate gambling,

the Thais will be let go after paying a 'big fine' and the rest, i don't envy them right now...

The Chinese are probably the product of STV visa. They are quoted as overstayers. The Cambodian should be charged for putting the country at risk of C19. The rest probably are Chinese Thai. 

There is no victory here for the police, they have known about the illegal casino's, pocketed back handers and turned a blind eye for some time. 

This is purely a face saving exorcise for General Prayut.

They don't care.

If they could get away with it they would ban it indefinitely.

Complaining to this government is akin to p*ssing into the wind.

I'm sure Mr Singa and Mrs Chang will be very upset. They would pack some punch, I would think, they probably are spanking Prayut right now.

The alternative at all public establishments is to sign the paper and give contact number on entry and exit timing noted. Doesn’t THAT constitute a travel history. And before we say what about traveling THROUGH a red district? - if we don’t stop we don’t infect. Get a grip guys, let’s contribute positively to this effort not just be negative and look for faults huh? 

Look you guys it's a part of life in NZ nowadays, I don't have the NZ tracer app on my phone yet as you can sign in anywhere. Most people still scan the app when shopping even though there is no lockdowns in the country and you don't have to, but people still scan in and sign in and everyone uses hand sanitiser supplied free everywhere. 

On the whole I was very surprised as I have been living in Los for a few years now, the people just behaved really well and still behave well as they don't want another break out. 

This could happen anytime but things are going well now, it's summer very hot people are moving all over the country and now there are quarantine free flights to a few states in Australia. 

The next bubble to open will be the Cook Islands. 

Lucky we have a mote around us and no leaky borders. 

Thailand seemed to be doing well I was hoping to return mid year but that looks hopeful now. 

I sincerely hope that Thailand reigns this in. 

I was always suspect that the borders would be the source of a new outbreak, but what a job Prayuts boys did on the borders, and the selfish greedy Myanmar slave trader's and exploiters have now flown a kemakaze C19 into Samut Sakhon, and with the help of the Chinese owned Tachilek casino gamblers and working girls freely crossing the border..... UNOTICED BY IMMIGRATION, POLICE OR ARMY, then let the real show begin. 

The only thing you can say is they have been lucky so far, but this time the horse may not be able to be reigned in. 

Stay safe take heaps of vitamin D and C, and keep healthy, good luck.

Seems so long ago since a myriad of under control statements were made ???? 

From the outset he said.... I'm in charge. 

I guess his offsiders in charge of the gambling dens and border crossings did not understand this. 

Then there is the maniac fishing mogels that thought that they were above the rest of society and the law and continued to employ the governments thugs so they could extort Myanmar people as slaves, thus lining their pockets and destroying Thailand and other business buddies businesses. 

Why? Because they thought they were superior and knew better than anyone. 

I would liken this to the mad man Donald Trump who now has incited a riot in which 4 people died, and who now has his own party considering to invoke emergency powers to remove him from office as he is mentally unstable. 

Massive protests in Thailand, now corrupt officials and slave traders ruining what we hoped was going to be Covid controlled, well it was only a few whiskeys and a few maniacs that thought they could make a quick quid and Thailand is knee deep in It. 

Someone needs to go.

The new count announced today was 365 so these new ones will go into tomorrows official figures meaning that it will be well over 1000 cases tomorrow. The highest ever recorded in Thailand in a 24 hour period. 

 

Out of the 3800 total tested in this blitz on factories in Samut Sakhon 900 are positive giving a positivity rate of around 24%. Thats massive and proof that there is a tragic lack of tests being carried out.

All because the greedy fishing magnates want cheap labour, from the first deaths reported it would seem that this has been festering long b4 the discovery of the virus coming across the boarders.

Prayuts own men involved in the smuggling and gambling rackets who thought they were covid proof. 

The problem is now they may not be able to contain this. 

I know from family that people are worried. 

Samut Sakhon should have been locked down immediately, but instead they let the holiday travellers run all over the country, very sad. 

It is sickening that people are still crossing the border illegally, they don't understand covid, they can't see it, they don't care, combined with a corrupt bunch of thugs from the Army and Police and Bingo, disaster strikes. 

I to hope this can be brought under control quickly.

It was always going to be the 4th January...after everyone spent money on the holidays...

 

Now, the smart money is on that COVID has been travelled to every corner of Thailand...and I guess in the next 7 - 14 days will tell...assuming they actually test...

Yes, very stupid to not ban Provincial travel right from the start. 

Early action might have slowed this right down. 

I see people are still sneaking across the border, with 2 caught sneaking over the fence behind a Thai temple in Kanchanaburi. 

The total number of cases has nearly reached 8000 double the 4000 odd that sat there for months. 

So this looks bad and if it is not slowing in the next few days, it might be a runaway train. 

The borders leak and it seems that they are poorly patrolled, this could be a major outbreak this time. 

I'm hoping not as I want to be back in Thailand, stuck now in NZ nearly one year, I can come back with my Thai wife and son but we will wait a bit longer, I'm hoping maybe things will be better by September, but wouldn't bet on it 

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all posting on TV.

Ya Think, really.  Of course many do as well think he needs to go.....

His boys made this second mess allowing working girls to cross back to Thailand from Tachilek, and god knows who else. Then allowing Myanmar workers to cross for money. 

The fishing magnates thinking cheap labour was ok for their greedy selves. 

They have been in trouble for the exploitation of the Myanmar workers for a long time, now they have been allowed to reek havoc upon the country. 

Not only this havoc, but what about the costs to Thailand. 

Will those responsible for this have to pay, I do not think so. 

A disgrace orchestrated under the watch of General Prayut.

Barbaric, and yet more disgraceful behaviour by Thais !

The disgraceful behaviour is from the corrupt government officials who have been exploiting the borders. 

A drastic move, should be done better, how do you enforce managed isolated for these people who have run all over Thailand, some probably in fear. 

If Thailand does not lock travel between provinces quickly we might be seeing a massive second wave. 

I always thought the second wave would come across the border, why the government did not ban Myanmar workers until the pandemic is under control is a no brainer. 

The victory here is the greedy exploiters of cheap labour, the looser is Thailand, now we might see not only tourism suffer but industry as well. 

It seems Prayuts army and police shot themselves in the foot. 

I think the ones that pull his strings will no doubt be angry. 

All for the sake of exploitation of cheap labour and greedy corrupt officials.

They're idiots, vaccination is the only way out of this mess and as such it's their ultimate goal yet it's obviously not good enough for them.

 

I suspect they will also be quarantining recovered patients as well, those who are immune to it?

Washington Post today headlines. 

Covid vaccination program off to a slow start, rings alarm bells. 

They do not know if vaccinated people will be able to spread the virus yet. 

So vaccinated people should go into quarantine until they do know. 

A wise decision this is.

No, I think it has more to do with one hospital hoping to cash in on the crisis and being caught and stopped before they set off a dangerous trend. 

Yes, it seems greedily looks like crisis cash in. 

News I have read touts the cost of doses at between 20 and 40 dollars per dose, depending on which vaccine they use. 

I thought that Thailand was going to make the vaccine free to locals, and to foreign people staying in the Kingdom. 

Read this in the Thai press. 

But I have no doubt that doses will be exploited by the greedy hospitals. 

Just as quarantine hotels exploit foreigners. 

We are at the cusp of a new wave of exploitation, expect many varieties of ways to exploit and wreck the land of no more smiles.
