As if a few extra cases is going to make a difference. Test and go wasn’t perfect but it would have captured most cases. All this decision has done is murdered the Thai economy and thrown it into another nosedive. It’s here and we have to learn to live with it and not spend the rest of our lives cringing in fear. If the government is not going lock everyone up and weld their doors shut for the next 2 years and shoot anyone who ventures outside then this whole exercise is useless.

It’s not people’s fear of covid it’s the extra time now required to spend in expensive quarantine since the Test and Go was scrapped. I just wonder if the numbers would have nose dived if test and go had not been scrapped.
At the end of the day I’m not sure a few extra double vaxxed tourists slipping through the cracks would make much of a difference to the overall numbers. It’s in and it’s gonna stay.-

Scum.
Going back a few years in Chiang Mai this sort of behavior ended quite a long friendship I had with the owners of a small Guest House there. They gloated about how much money they were making from an American Paedophile who booked out all the rooms to allow him unfettered use of the GH for the purpose of sex with young boys. Usually two at a time and many of them over a period of up to 6 months each year. GH owners were active in sourcing the boys for him and made a small fortune from the guys activities. They encouraged the young boys to drink and eat as much as they could because all charges were being toted at an exaggerated rate against the bill which was paid weekly. They catered to all his needs and made many thousands of baht per day.
After several years of these goings on the police were alerted to his activities and he was arrested. He was forced to pay almost 2 million baht to various people and then escorted back to the US by US law enforcement officers for prosecution. Nothing happened to the GH owners who were implicit in the whole sordid affair. I am certain they had high level police connections and now live quite a good life as a result of their investment in this paedophile's activities. I just hope there is such a thing as Karma because these people deserve to be punished. They were just as guilty as the Paedophile and yet came out on top. Miserable human beings. If Big Joke would like to contact me I could give him details.

When times are tough pick on the most needy, the most vulnerable and pretend it’s for the betterment of all. How cruel can one get and what do they hope to achieve?

Yet another knee-jerk reaction from the government to show the hysterical Thai public they’re doing something.
True that. Nothing will keep it at bay now that it’s here.

I'm not sure if you said that or not. I'm not going to trawl through all your posts but it just doesn't seem very consistent with your overall stance of ultra caution and constantly reminding everyone to stay safe etc. I guess when you need a holiday this approach can be adjusted a little bit. Piers Morgan was the same.
Anyway, I hope you have a great time, stay safe and don't bring it back to Thailand with you.
It’s already here and this silly futile attempt to stop it makes no sense. At best it will move the spike in cases a few weeks into the future for no gain and a whole lot of pain. It’s here to stay and nothing will change that. A few infected tourists today will mean absolutely nothing in terms of numbers infected in a few months.

Pattaya is what it is and as such attracts plenty of tourists because of what it is. Such plans would simply turn it into another Singapore or the like. I, for one, would choose Pattaya over Singapore 364 days a year. Not sure this isn't just some sort of Govt. PR exercise. It might need fixing but not sure it needs the wholesale changes as suggested.

Opening legal casinos which will put money into the local economy through taxation and benefit all Thai people, is not what the local mafia want.
They just want somewhere to launder their money from the illegal ones

My experiences have been relatively expensive ones within the private hospital system. Although they were a bit pricey the service was pretty good. The main downside was their reluctance to be up front with bad news. One can be dying but they wouldn't tell you that. An issue of "face" I think and you would have to work out the prognosis by yourself.
There is however, in this country, the opportunity to see a doctor or have treatment without having to go into life long debt. Especially if you are married to a public servant who gets it all for free. If you are going to marry a Thai I suggest marrying a public servant and in particular some-one from within the health department.

Wow. Thanks for sharing. I knew that was the case. Why does Thailand have China envy? It's bizarre!
I think perhaps because the Chinese are short time stayers and if one was to calculate $$$/day spent they may be closer to the top of the list. Scandinavians seem to top the list in terms of total spend but I suspect they are likely to stay on much much longer and their daily spend would be lower than our Chinese brothers and sisters. Seems Thailand enjoys ST not LT.
