Foodpanda saves more money, always compare the prices before the order.

grab delivery for restaurant 2km away: 20 to 90b

foodpanda: free

panda could be 10b more per item, still save a ton.

I may have to correct you as in Italy there is fit and healthy people in their 40's -50's dying for covid. Latest example is the bodyguard of the prime minister who just died last week and was absolutely fit. Moreover, in the city of Bergamo military trucks are used to bring the corpses to other cities because there is not enough room to stock them. 

Do you have the official death report with his medical history or just say he was fit and healthy because he didnt look sick, fat or old? Was he a smoker? Did he live in a highly polluted area? with smokers? Did he eat fastfood 3 times a day? Did he consume a lot of alcohol? 

Also if a man is born with no dick, are all men dickless? Does 1 person make a rule?

disinfect.. nice free cancer for everyone.

Some really good comments,  just a few points:

 

 

 

- Has anyone looked at various strains of virus killing thousands in some places like Italy and Spain and New York, and not as many in HK or South Korea or Germany or here or a few other places, is it the same virus !? Think about it, HK only just two days ago decided to close their bars... !? How come their infections  didn't spread and kill like other places till now, they do have infections... ! Yes, they reacted early and all that, but still odd...!

 

There is still no real information on this, its all hearsay just like the BCG vaccination as shown here: https://www.jsatonotes.com/2020/03/if-i-were-north-americaneuropeanaustral.html

no facts yet

the only real facts is that italy is reporting covid deaths for very very sick people that died while being infected when covid was not the reason of death. All this Italy panic is unfounded media panic

As stated already my guess many many had the virus had mild symptoms over high season carried on working etc and the immune system took care of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

yeah most kids at my kid's school had a big big flu right before the explosion of chinese news on it.  Lots of kids vomiting, lots of fever and sore throats.

Many parents there had daily contact with people from wuhan, including my family. 

No one got sick AFTER so that big flu was most likely this.  Most parents are pretty healthy and young.

Thailand reports deaths by corona

not people already extremely sick that end up dying with the virus inside them, unlike Italy and the likes.  

Numbers are more accurate here than elsewhere.

seen a dozen pretties with 100k+ followers selling those boxes for twice that price on facebook.. wheres the police when you need them

Well if they had any sense they would let you off but knowing Phuket,you may cop a 1,500 baht fine,i think it's 500 a day for overstay please correct me if i am wrong.

yeah, cheaper than the 19000 extension. Just worried about the airport immigration staff giving me a hard time.

Nonsense.

What happens when millions of Thais have no money as they are unemployed? Burglaries and crime increases! In the UK the government are paying people 80% of their salary up to £2500. The USA are spending $2 Trillion. How much are Thailand paying the unemployed? You need to face the future, not the past.

Crime and murder rate will jump very soon, especially in phuket.

Older farangs are going to get killed for a food. People are so much in panic, this might last 6months.

As I said, and as is actually the case, most of those infected do not die, regardless of one selectively chosen and substantially inconclusive Italian doctor's opinion.  Your comment remains baseless and inaccurate.

People like you are why everyone is panicking and not understanding anything.

The Italian report AND the quote clearly specifies that regular people that are infected do not die and yet you come back and deny everything said in there while saying its true right after.

Luckily politicians are not immune to the virus ...

luckily, unless they have important underlying health issues they will simply get a fever and a cough for a few days/weeks.. thats without taking one of the current cures.

stop  panicking. 

to calm the 99,9999% that believes this is dangerous to anyone healthy.

The more they believe someone is doing something, the more incentive they have to protect the weak by staying home, as civilization should go on if big papa governement started acting.

Garbage.  Most people who become infected do not die!

https://www.epicentro.iss.it/coronavirus/bollettino/Report-COVID-2019_20_marzo_eng.pdf

Professor Walter Ricciardi, scientific adviser to Italy’s minister of health said:

The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus […] On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 per cent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity – many had two or three,”

Same thing said in Canada.

I don't thnk you've quite got it!!!

stop reading social media and newspaper 'articles' that are 10 lines long. This is what every informed person thinks. People panicking and refusing to understand what is happening is why theres a dictatorship in Hungary right now.

I'm surprised there aren't a few more like case 64!

Most people that catch it have regular flu symtoms. The panicking you are doing is for outlier cases. Most infected cases are not reported as the people do not need to go to the hospital for a mild fever and a sore throat.

Have they?

 

Government told government hospitals to charge more to foreigners. Not just farang, and not private hospitals like Mission.

They raised the prices on some things by as much as 5x over the last few years. 

It's still somewhat affordable for basic services, but as soon as you need a bit more it gets very expensive. I had to go to a private clinic to get something done because mission was twice the price. Mission charged 3.7x more than it would cost back home at a private clinic.

Paid overstay today, so not free yet. You can get the second 30 day extension if you get embassy letter and some other supporting documentation (like photos of you in your room, this oddball requirement varies between immigration centers afaik).

Did you pay it at the airport or at phuket immi?

I have a 30 extensions available, id rather just not stand in a crowded room a few days before my flight.

Get out to which country? Italy which is under real curfew since 3 weeks till end of july? All not easy in most countries....

 

I'm also not happy about the beaches closed but  maybe the actual decisions of the Gov will result in a quick corona free phuket like we were usually rabies free.

First place in Thailand that is in may/june corona free and open for tourist business again.

You can't be corona free, its a type of  flu.

As soon as life starts over, people are going to get sick.

i dont understand how so many humans do not understand the simple fact that every single precaution taken is to REDUCE THE STRAIN on hospitals and protect weak individuals from infection before the vaccine is found.  The virus will not be eliminated from any area. The only way to achieve this is to ruin every one financially until they die of hunger and the area is only populated by people that are dead from everything but corrona.

People have more space to live here? Many Thais live in shoe boxes. Expats as well.

 

Don't know where you're referring to...even though I realize some Europeans live in crammed spaces too, but that's usually limited to major cities.

My village has closed off its pool and even the mini park.. so only people allowed in the park are those few houses that let their dogs roam free to poop.. Other people have to keep dogs inside.

Educated people are going insane everywhere in the world, they dont understand that the virus is not ebola and that we are only trying to keep hospitals from overflowing...

I don't want to face uneducated people going into full panic after seeing how educated people react.  Much more enjoyable to be stuck back home with free government money and no crazy army generals.
