Well killing them is one way to get your money back........LOL

The mayor is obviously torn between saving face on the official stance and the saving face with his business friends, obviously no backbone and unable to stand up and be counted as being responsible for the welfare of the city residents.

To you and Patongo, do you consider the UK to be a "civilised", non draconian country?  Overstaying there is a criminal offence and leads to deportation and a re-entry ban.  Caught working there?  Prison sentence.

So as you obviously disagree with the re-entry ban for long term overstayers please tell me your reasoning.  Why should people be allowed to break immigration rules and then not face any consequences?

Quite true, however if you enter the country legally you can stay for the duration of your visa without having to confirm your location and 90 day check-up.

There is a requirement for some of the health officials to be transferred to inactive positions, I'm not saying who but I do believe with the rest of us they know who they are......... LOL

You almost got it right but the last comment should be "Thai Tactics"......LOL

Wait until after Songkran if the government go ahead with their unbelievable stupidity in allowing it to happen, the finger will definitely be pointing their way and rightly so, I'm surprised the WHO have not condemned this event.....!!!

Don't know where you are Geoff but i doubt there will be much water throwing where i am in Phetchabun province reason being there is no water.

Unfortunately in Pattaya...... ha ha ha!!

What about Songkran? apart from the waste of water if undetected but affected people from Europe come to celebrate it would have the potential to cause a massive explosion of the virus within Thailand due to the numbers of people gathering together especially in places like Pattaya, phuket, chiang mai etc.

VENICE (Reuters) - The last two days of the Venice Carnival, which draws tourists from around the world, have been cancelled because of an outbreak of coronavirus, the head of the Veneto region Luca Zaia said on Sunday.

"THAILAND" I hope you are taking note, it is OK to cancel venues if you put your countries residents first, and not the super rich for a change.........!!!!

Take note Thailand.......

This just proves they were over priced in the first place..........LOL

Once again the punishment does not enforce any kind of deterrent for others to follow suit, also who knows for how many years this has been going on.....!!!
