Thailand imposed a ban on Wednesday on large gatherings and events across the country in an effort to contain its worst coronavirus epidemic yet during New Year, with active cases in over half of its provinces.

What they should have done is ban interprovincial travel instead of allowing people to spread it all around every province.

"I don't understand. All she did was say a few true words, and for that she got four years," said Shao Wenxia, Zhang's mother, who attended the trial with her husband.

This is what you did wrong in the eyes of the ruling Chinese, I hope Thailand is taking note of the kind of people they are wanting to associate with ..............Sad !!!!

“Seven of nine people in the taxi were killed instantly. The driver and a one-year-old boy survived

Exactly how many passengers is this vehicle registered to carry as nine people seems quite a lot .........!!! 

Somehow I am finding it hard to feel sorry for the normally overpriced taxi drivers ....................LOL

No excuse but at least he used a tissue.

I am sure it happens everywhere but was at the airport the other day and saw several people pull down their masks and sneeze into their hand or just in the air. And, pick their nose and find some object to wipe it on.

Never thought of calling the cops.

Had it not been for the fact he used a tissue I would have thought he was Chinese .............LOL

But I thought these measures were already in place and have been for quite a while ............????

Once again the percentages do not tally but that is nothing new, one does have to wonder who the people were who cast the votes other than family members .....................LOL

“Unscrupulous cheap labour gang masters” is a figment of your imagination.

Most Third World Burmese, Cambodian and Laotian are more than happy to work in Thailand. More money and work than back home. They earn twice as much in Thailand.

No it is not, it is called "Exploitation  of cheap labour" it is a well known fact that Bangkokians look down on the more unfortunate Thais so what chance do these people have .......!!!!!

They are lining up for it. A good opportunity to improve their and their families lives. An opportunity they don’t have in their own countries. What is your country doing for them?

The only countries in a position to offer any kind of assistance are neighboring countries so the comment "What is your country doing for them" a little nonsensical

They are queuing up to get over here for the better life that they can only achieve by working in Thailand and dragging themselves out of Third World poverty.
No one else is giving them such an opportunity.

This in itself does not make things right .....!!!

He said that the new COVID-19 outbreak indicates that there are loopholes in the enforcement of regulations and health safety guidelines, allowing illegal migrants to enter Thailand and obtain work.

I do believe this should read "He said that the new COVID-19 outbreak confirms that there are loopholes" ............LOL

Under the conditions of the law change is that it will apply only highways with at least two lanes running in the same direction

They have this law ? the rest of Thailand has four lanes whereby one can travel in whichever direction one chooses .................LOL

Will the government's move inspire any more tourists to come to the country?

It is very doubtful, the ASQ cash cow is way too expensive .......!!!!
