As they said at the time, because nearby coastal areas were having a surge of cases and they didn't want it getting to the island.

But we are talking about two days ago and since then no reports of infections that warrant closing an island have been reported is my point.

Only 18 cases in all other provinces besides Samut Sakhon, Bangkok, and Trat...so deminimus. I'm sure the info is available at the CCSA website if your curious.

Then please explain why Koh Si Chang is in lockdown ??

What about all the infections from or on Koh Si Chang that recently caused a lockdown according to reports ...??

“This is in accordance with the new ministerial regulation and will apply to all types of visa.”

Surely this does not mean that every 90-days retirees need to get a covid check ......!!!!

The Prime Minister said he is very concerned about the rising COVID-19 cases in the province due to continuous testing

There you have it in a nutshell ..... my concern is why there are not more reported cases upcountry, could it possibly be because there is no continuous testing ......???

Just horrible.

Millions of child are abused in western countries each year.

Unfortunately, I think child abuse is an unreported problem here probably much more common then people could imagine.

If it is grandpa, castrate then hope he rots in H...

I agree and make the castration using dessert spoons .............!!!

but the vaccines must be approved by the Food and Drug administration of the country of origin, and the Thai FDA.

"The country of origin", this sounds like a get out for the Chinese version ............

Of the 63 million vaccines, 2 million doses will come from China’s Sinovac and 61 million from AstraZeneca.

I thought I red a report that these vaccines do not mix & match so I hope people realize this

Tourism chiefs call for foreigners vaccinated against COVID-19 to be allowed to enter Thailand

This is a really bad idea, even if they have had the vaccination there is absolutely no concrete evidence how effective it will be across the board, newly vaccinated people still need to be checked and monitored.

Good chance to get some of them off the road for good ......

The FDA chief confirmed that AstraZeneca (Thailand) and Sinovac Biotech have submitted approval applications with the FDA for their vaccines, which are being purchased by the government.

What about the problems with the Sinovac Biotech vaccine in Brazil .........???
